Cam POV

I didn't see the others for the rest of the day. Lessons went by slowly, the hands on the clock never ticking when I looked over.

'Hey Gallagher Girl' Zach surprised me in the library causing me to drop all of my books. 'Sorry' He said kneeling down to help me. I realised that although he was picking up my books for me, his eyes were trained on my face. 'What's on your mind?' He asked

'Nothing' I shook my head

'I rarely surprise you Cam, and even if I do, you try to play it cool'

'Well I'm not the same Cameron that you remember, am I?' I snapped. Again, he continued to study me

'Why weren't you with the girls at lunch?'

'I had a disagreement'

'About Tyler?' He raised his eyebrows as he read my mind

'He isn't a danger Zach' I sighed

'Cameron, he tried to kidnap you'

'No he didn't. He was helping me'

'Stop defending him!'

'What else can I do Zach! He's the only person that ever understood me'

'Last time I saw him, he was sticking his tongue down your throat and pushing you against a tree!'

'He had a cover to maintain-'

'And how do you know that?' He moved towards me and gripped my wrist 'What aren't you telling me Gallagher Girl?'

'You're hurting me Zach' I groaned

'What are you hiding?' He repeated

'Let me go!' I ripped my arm away from him

'You said he had a cover to maintain, what aren't you telling me?'

'People were watching me Zach okay? Dr Steve and the Circle had spies on me the whole time I was there, and now Oliver and Michelle are missing'

'They are investig-'

'They won't find anything Zach! They would have vanished without a trace like I did! If it wasn't for that stupid photo upload, I would be going off to college right now'

'Do you want it to happen that way?' He asked

'What?'

'A normal life, have a normal family and go to normal college' He gestured around him 'Would you trade all of this for what you had?'

'You don't understand Zach' I shook my head

'Then tell me' He pleaded 'Tell me what goes on in your head, and then maybe, maybe I can help you'

'I don't want your help' I snapped beginning to move off 'I just want to get the fuck out of here'

Zach didn't chase after me, which I'm kind of glad about. It meant that I could stalk around the school at my own leisure. It was beginning to get darker and many of the girls were going to bed. I made my way up to my room, the girls were on their own beds doing their own thing. They didn't even look up when I came in. I moved off into the bathroom and looked at my reflection in the mirror.

It's strange how you never really see what you look like, you see reflections and photos, but you never see you. I guess being a chameleon it's kind of good, you begin to blend into the surroundings, unnoticed and unobserved.

There was a knock at the door.

'Hey Cam?' Liz asked

'Yeah' I called

'Aren't you meant to be with your mom? You know for your tradition'

'Oh yeah' I sighed stepping out, 'I guess I forgot' At that point Bex and Macey dropped what they were doing and stared at me.

'You don't forget' Macey pointed out

'I did for three years' I gave a small laugh by trying to lighten the mood but the girls just shared a look 'I better go' I said moving out of the room. I took a deep breath. Shit. This was going to be hard. Instead of going to my mom's office, I made my way down to the sublevels. I was going to break Tyler out and face the consequences later, because it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Somehow I had managed to get down to the sublevels without setting off any detection. I crept along the corridor slowly, getting short of breath quite quickly. I got to Tyler's door. He was lying once again on the table, a discarded bowl of food at his feel. I got my hair grip out and began to fiddle with the lock. For a spy school, some things are done old school. I rattled for a few moments before I heard the satisfying click. I stood up and opened the door. Tyler sat up at the noise.

'We're leaving' I announced

'Cam, you're going to get in trouble'

'I want to see Catherine, and you' I threw him the hoodie 'are the only one that can find her, so let's go' I turned around waiting for him to follow me, but he didn't, he stood in the doorway staring at me 'Are you coming?' I asked

'No, Cam' He shook his head 'I'm not risking you losing everything'

'I'm trapped here Tyler' I opened my arms wide 'They all want me to stay here so that I won't go away again but ever since I've come here, I want to back to California' I took a step towards him 'I want to go back to the woods, go back to my family and just...just live' I took another step forward 'Please Tyler, I need answers and so do you' He thought about it for a moment, looking away and biting his lip. Kind of sexy and mysterious, just like he was before, I think this was one of the things that attracted me to him in the first place. Snap out of it Cam! Tyler turned back to me with a smoldering look in his eyes. I had to pitch myself to stop melting. I think things are going to get very interesting.
