"Zach? What are you talking about? Zach's not-" began Bex, but stopped when I turned her head in the direction he was headed. She gasped and grabbed my hand. We ran and hid on the other side of the dinosaur bones and waited until he was gone.

"Why is he here?" I asked, frustrated.

"Forget that! If he's here, then Grant probably is, too!" she said, jumping up and down. I put my hands on her shoulders to stop her from knocking something down. She should know that as a spy you're supposed to not draw attention to yourself.

"Bex, stop! We're supposed to try to blend in, remember?" I asked. She nodded her head and immediately stopped jumping.

"So, what are we standing around here for?" she asked, tugging on my hand again. She looked around, and then looked up into the elevator. It was completely see-through, and so was the place where it went up and down. I followed her gaze and saw Zach, just getting into the elevator on one floor above us. Before I could even think of what to do, Bex was pulling me along to the elevator. When we got there, she pressed the down button.

"Bex, what are you doing?!" I asked. I'm surprised no one had seen us by now. They probably thought that we were acting so amateur we couldn't possibly be going to Gallagher.

"We're going to go see your boyfriend, and in the process, trying to find mine," she said, like it was obvious.

"We can't! We're in the middle of a mission!" I cried.

"Oh, yeah, right. Well, we might as well kill two birds with one stone," she said. Sometimes, I'm so thankful that Bex is my friend. But most of the time, I want to ring her neck.

"You know you're crazy, right?" I said, sighing.

"What's wrong, don't you want to see Zach?" she asked, her voice softening.

"Well…it's complicated," I said.

"Explain," Bex commanded.

"Well, I…" but before I could finish, the elevator doors clanged open and Zach stood there, looking as gorgeous as ever, holding a bag of M & M's, oblivious until Bex pushed me into the elevator and into Zach.

He looked up, and a look of shock flashed across his face.

"Gallagher Girl?" he asked, before pulling me into a hug, then kissing me roughly. We stood there, kissing, until I heard a voice in my ear yell, "Chameleon, what are you doing? You can't make out with a guy unless we all do. But if you're going to make out with him, turn off your comms!"

I immediately broke away and blushed tomato red. Actually, tomatoes would probably be jealous of the color of my face right now.

"God, Gallagher Girl, I missed you so much," he said, which shocked me. The Zach Goode just admitted his feelings. Wow.

"You're lucky that was me and not some random innocent girl you just grab and start kissing," I said, since I couldn't think of anything else to say.

He smirked and laughed.

"What are you doing here?" he asked, suddenly serious.

"Field trip. You?" I asked.

"Same. So, where's Bex, Macey, and Liz?" he asked.

"Umm, Bex was actually the one that pushed me into you, Liz and Macey are somewhere around here. What about Will, Grant and Jonas?" I asked.

"Same. I'm actually supposed to meet them in like fifteen minutes," he said, looking at his watch.

I just nodded, thinking, Wow, this is awkward.

Just then, Mr. Solomon's voice said, "Chameleon, you're the last one. Meet me at the Ruby Slippers Exhibit in ten minutes. If you're late, you find your own way back to Gallagher."

I stepped over and pressed the button for the fourth floor.

"Where are you supposed to meet your class?" Zack asked.

I considered telling him the truth. I thought, It's not like he's the person following us.

So I told him the truth, "Ruby slipper exhibit."

"When are you supposed to be there?" he asked.

"Ten minutes. What about you?" I said.

"Dinosaurs in twenty," he said, smirking. I smiled, and he got right in front of me, wrapped his arms around my waist, and kissed me. We kissed, nothing mattered anymore. The elevator could be falling, and I wouldn't notice it. But then, a voice came through my comms unit, saying, "Thirty seconds."

I broke away, breathing heavily. How did nine and a half minutes go by, when it felt like three?

"I have to go," I said.

"I'll walk you," he replied, smirking. So, when the elevator doors finally opened, he grabbed my hand while I led him to the ruby slipper exhibit.

"Okay, I have to go," I said, turning to him and placing a quick kiss on his lips.

"Bye Gallagher Girl," he called, while I ran to the exhibit.

"Bye Blackthorne Boy," I called.

When I got to the ruby slipper exhibit, no one was there. Then Solomon stepped from behind a display and said, "Chameleon, you have been compromised. And you're late."

"What?" I asked, confused. No one was following me, so how was I compromised?

But then I noticed Mr. Solomon smiling and looking at something behind me, so I turned around and gasped.

"Zach?" I asked, for the second time that day.

"I didn't expect you to lead me here," he said, smirking.

"Good job, Zach," Mr. Solomon said.

"You didn't do very well, Gallagher Girl," Zach said, trying not to laugh.

"You are sooooo annoying, Blackthorne Boy," I said, turning around.

Mr. Solomon looked shocked first, and then he calmed down.

"You better go find a way back to Gallagher," he said, nodding toward the elevator. I stomped over to it, punched the button, and waited impatiently for the doors to open. I heard footsteps behind me, and then Zach said, "You can't be mad at me, Gallagher Girl."

"Oh, yes, I can, and I am," I said, while the elevator doors opened and I stepped in, pressed the close button, but not before Zach jumped in. I pressed the ground level button and waited impatiently.

"Come on, Gallagher Girl. How can you be mad at me for being better than you?" he asked, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"You are not better than me!" I nearly yelled.

"Whatever. Relax. Aren't you glad to see me?" he asked.

"Not right now," I said, through clenched teeth. He began kissing my neck, and said, "Are you sure?"

I pushed him away and blurted out, "Why didn't you tell me?"

He raised an eyebrow and said, "I could say the same for you."

The doors opened, and I walked out, to the doors, and into the cool air. Then I realized I didn't have a ride. Great, I thought, I'm going to have to walk all that way.

The doors opened and Zach walked out, towards me.

"You need a ride?" he asked, smirking.

"How are you going to get me to Gallagher?" I asked.

"Easy. Follow me and I'll show you," he said, walking towards the parking lot. I sighed, but followed him.

When he stopped, he was climbing onto a motorcycle.

"Is this yours?" I asked, looking at the motorcycle wearily.

"Yup. Now put this on and get on," he said, handing me a helmet and patting the seat behind him. I put the helmet on, stepped on the foot bar and swinging my other leg over. He revved the engine and took off, and I grabbed onto his waist. I saw him smirk, and then turn back around.

After about an hour, we were parked in front of the Gallagher Academy, looking at the gate. I quickly tapped a button on the gate, let the laser scan my eyes, and waited for it to open. Before it did, though, I ran back and kissed Zach. He smirked when I pulled away and said, "You know you look hot in a leather jacket."

I smiled, blushed, and walked through the gate and back into the Gallagher Academy.

"What was that? Who were you on the motorcycle with? Why were you on a motorcycle?" asked my mom, furiously.

"Well, I was on the motorcycle with Zach because I was late for the mission in CoveOpps, and so Mr. Solomon said that if we were late, we had to get back to Gallagher another way, so Zach offered me a ride, and I didn't want to be late for class, so I said yes, and apparently I wasn't supposed to ride a motorcycle, which I had no idea about that rule," I explained to my mother and Mr. Solomon.

"Well, there is no rule about that," said my mom, disappointed.

"I for one, think that she did a good job. She had to find an alternative way to the school, and she did that, and got here only a few minutes after us," said Mr. Solomon, causing me to look up, and my mother to shoot him a dirty look. But Mr. Solomon, our hottest teacher, was smiling at me.

"I guess you're dismissed, Cammie. The rest of today is a free day, since the mission took longer than a regular class," said my mother, and after I thanked her and Solomon, I left my mothers office and went to the library.

The only reason I went to the library was to get away from my friends, who were bound to ask questions. But, to my luck (total sarcasm here people) Liz was in the library, tutoring Macey, and Bex was using one of the computers. As soon as I saw them I quickly turned the other way and speed walked out of the library, but they saw me.

They ran towards me, and grabbed my by the arms and dragged me to our room.

"Have you guys ever heard of-" I began.

"What happened with Zach?" asked Bex.

"Oh, we were in the elevator, kissed for about ten minutes, got out, found out that he was one of the ones that were finding us, talked to Solomon, got stranded at the museum, then got a ride with Zach on his motorcycle," I said nonchalantly.

"WHAT?!" they all yelled.

* * * * * * * * * *

"Could I have all of your attention please?" asked my mother from up on the podium. It was dinner time, and after I got done being ambushed by my friends, we came down to have dinner.

"I have a big announcement. This semester, we will have some special guests staying with us. They are from another boys school, a school just like ours. They go to a school called Blackthorne Institute for Exceptional Young Men. Fifteen of them will be staying with us, eating with us, learning with us, and I hope you will all meet new friends and make bonds that will help you in the future. Now, please welcome the Blackthorne Institute!" she yelled and everyone began clapping. Fifteen boys around our age came walking in, single file. But I couldn't stop looking at one in particular.

The boys all scattered, taking seats around the room, Zach came over and took a seat next to me.

"Don't look so surprised, Gallagher Girl," he said, smirking, and began eating his dinner.
