Today was the day.
The day Solomon reveals my codename.
I'll admit it, I was kind of nervous this morning. I'm the Chameleon. I don't WANT to be seen. Now everyone's going to be staring at me. Why oh why.
I decided to do the big reveal at dinner today. It's been exactly a week since we've arrived at Blackthorne and we were still beating them at everything! I honestly was hoping for more of a challenge with these boys but I guess this just gives me a chance to go over and refine everything.
"You ready?" Bex whispered to me. We had an hour before dinner and I needed to go set up. I just numbly nodded my head in response. My emotions were crazy right now. Was I nervous or excited? What would the guys think of me after they discover my identlty? What would Zach think? Would he ever act the same around me? The questions whirled in my mind.
As I was leaving my room I turned and saw myself in Macey's full-length mirror. Mace put my hair in a high ponytail and make-up that wasn't really dark but it looked dangerous. I wore black high-heeled boots, a black fitted t-shirt, and black leggings. Solomon told Macey to make sure I intimidated the boys because the Chameleon is supposed to hide away, not run out for everyone to see. I'm basically about to ruin every single theory about me they had in their reports.
I met Solomon in the grand hall. He showed me where I would be entering, when, and how. I just kept nodding, knowing I had no choice.
"I know this is out of your comfort zone Cammie, but just please do as I ask. Not only do I want the boys to understand that not everything is as it seems, but I also want them to know the Chameleon isn't just some girl." I laughed. Only he would care that much. He went to ruffle my hair but I grabbed his hand and twisted it.
"Macey will kill you." He just laughed, making me laugh harder. Suddenly the bell rang and I quickly grabbed the rope hanging from the ceiling and pulled myself up in 10 seconds, then bringing up the rope with me. I sat in the rafters of the ceiling, observing the people as they walked in.
Solomon was leaning on the wall in the front of the room. I saw him look at me and nod discreetly. Then Bex walked in with Grant. Soon followed Liz and Jonas, and Macey and Nick. Zach followed in after with a confused look on his face. I have to say, even that makes him look cute. I watched the rest of the school file in and grab dinner. Suddenly, my stomach grumbled and I realized I should have snuck food up here. Gosh they better get this over with soon. A growing girl who just so happens to be a spy needs to eat!
"Attention ladies and gentlemen," Solomon said, "We have somewhat of a surprise for you tonight. A very good surprise if you ask me." Murmurs passed through the room, but all the girls just laughed. Now every boy was completely confused.
"Here's your surprise-the Chameleon. Is here. In this room. Lets see if the Chameleon can be found." A couple of boys started to actually walk around to find me. Every guy looked. Zach was smirking like an idiot, Grant had half of his steak hanging from his mouth, Jonas looked like he was on a sugar high, and Nick was trying to act bored. Zach suddenly stopped smirking and turned to Bex.
"Where's Cammie?" I watched him say. Bex just shrugged indifferently.
After about 15 minutes of guys searching, they gave up. Solomon started tapping a message in Morse code on the podium that said, Chameleon, GO!
I took the rope and swung down from the rafters. I was positioned so I would go swinging straight through the center aisle. Everyone could see me, and I didn't really like that. I dropped next to Solomon at the podium and swept my gaze across the room. I grinned mischievously, and caught Zach's gaze before bringing myself closer to the microphone.
"I win."

This. Can. Not. Be. Happening.
Cammie? The Chameleon?
The Chameleon? A girl?
Here I was, worried out of my mind that Cammie was hurt or lost and that's why she hadn't shown up for dinner, when she was just biding her time right above my head. I guess I can admit to one thing though.
Gallagher Girl knows how to make an entrance.

I started laughing hysterically because I just couldn't handle this awkward silence.
"Lets start over, shall we? My name is Cameron Ann Morgan. I go by Cammie or Cam. My parents are Rachel and Matthew Morgan. My mom is headmistress of Gallagher and my dad is, well, I think you all know about him…" I trailed off for a second, scared to speak. I regained my emotions and continued, "I'm a pavement artist on the CoveOps track and my codename is-The Chameleon" Even after all of this it was still eerily quiet. No one moved. The boys looked like they could die and the girls looked like they were going to fall asleep since, they, of course, know all of this already.
"I think I paralyzed them." I said to Solomon. He smirked at me and then turned to the boys speaking louder than necessary.
"Perhaps I shall get the needles then…"
And at the moment, I swear, every boy jumped 3 feet out of their chairs. I laughed and walked to the buffet, basking in the silence. Every eye was on me. I just took my food and sat at my table. None of the girls spoke. We weren't going to kill the peace.
As soon as every one of my sisters were done, we all stood up and they followed me out of the hall. At the last second I turned around once more, and smirked at every gaping boy in the room.
"C'mon boys, the steak will taste much better than the flies."
