Cammie's POV
"Cammie, it's time to go." Mr. Solomon said as he walked in my room.
"Go...Go where? And am I going to be with you all the time now? How is this going to work?" I asked.
"Yes, you will be staying by my side til I have you safely delivered to where you will be staying. But before we go anywhere, it's time we put you in disguise because our first stop, will be Blackthorne." he said this like it was no big deal, that my covre would be so amazing that a room full of teenage spies and even my best friends wouldn't notice me.
" How is this going to work? I'm sure someone is going to know it's me. The people who've known me forever are going to be in that room. Not to mention they're all spies. " I reminded him.
"Don't worry about it Cammie, I will be disguising you. No one will have a clue who you are. All you have to do is follow my lead once we get there."
"BUt why are we going there in the first place? Why don't you just take me right to this place your going to take me?" This made no sense at all. I knew that if I saw my frieds it would be almost impossible not to tell someone.
"Blackthorne is having a...test... much like the one Gallagher had when Blackthorne came here. It will be a dance and I, being a alumni and big influence there have to be there. If I don't show up people will wonder and it will get out the CoC will know something isn't right.." he said
"Now, let's get you to the disguise room. Obviously I can't do everything so your mom is meeting us there to help out."
"My mom hasn't left either?" I wondered
"Nope, she wanted to see you before she left again." he said keeping his eyes forward. We walked into the room I had seen a while earlier when Mr. Solomon dressed up as a janitor named Art. It still was the biggest closet I had ever seen and ever wanted to see, but just perfect for making somone completely unrecognizable.
**************
"Cammie!" My mom said when she saw me and she came up and hugged me tight.
"Um, hi mom." I said hugging her back but not quite sure why she was soo...huggy? "Are you okay?"
"YEs. yes I'm fine Cammie, it's just been so hard telling everyone the news and then it got to my head and I don't know I've just been on freakout mode for a while. Sorry about this." she said impishly.
"Oh, I forgot, you just told all of them didn't you. It's okay mom...I love you." I said hugging her tighter.
"I love you too honey." but then she remembered we had company and pulled herself together and said," Okay now, let's get down to buisness. We have to get Ms. Charlotte Lamain ready for the Blackthorne dance. Here we go!!!
I looked at myself in the mirror after they were done and I knew Cammie Morgan was in fact gone, and in her place was Charlotte Lamain. I couldn't see one ounce of Cammie in the mirror. This girl's hair was a dark black, and she had bright green eyes. She was at least 3 inches taller than Cammie and looked much more...defined. She looked like she belonged on the cover of vouge. She didn't look 16 at all, she could pass for 25 easily. If I couldn't find anythign familiar in the mirror I doubt my friends could either.
"UM, wow. I don't even recognize myself." I whispered.
"Well what do you expect. We are teachers at Gallagher, not to mention amazing." Mr Solomon said sarcasticly. I just rolled my eyes at him.
"Well, you ready Cam?" my mom said. And I knew when she said that she wasn't just asking if I was ready to go she was asking much more. I looked into her eyes and said what I knew had to be said even if it wasn't true.
"Yes."
We arrived in a limo with a bunch of other teachers and alumni. I goota say Blackthorne must also be known for hott alumni because every single one of these teachers were equally as hott as Mr. Solomon. If my dad was anything like the rest of the Blackthorne boys no wonder my mom fell in love with him.
Some of the Blackthorne students were there to welcome us and I recognized some of them from the last time they came but I didn't see anyone i really cared about. Just one person.
I was escorted in by Mr. Solomon and I got alot of angry death stares from fellow Gallagher Girls who believe it or not had no clue who I was. I walked in to the ball room and saw Bex, Liz, and Macey standing in a circle at the back of the hall. They all looked beautiful in their dresses but all of them looked tired. Macey had her hair in a pony tail of course and she wasn't even wearing maeup, still she was incredibly beautiful. Bex was wearing her hair down with a red dress but she was wearing flip flops underneathe her dress when she swayed to the side . And Liz was wearing her glasses still. But they still were the most beautiful Gallagher girls there.
As if sensing my stares they looked over in my direction and I couldn't look away.
"Cammie!" joe whispered in my ear and snapped me out of my reveriee." Snap out of it, you know what to do come on. Your a teacher, go get your clip board and start dancing and socializing...blend in."
"Right." I said and walked up to the man at the front who was passing out clipboards to the teachers.
"Charlotte Lamain." I said, hoping they didn't forget to put me on the list. "Alumni from Gallagher."
"Of course Ms Lamain. I have your clip board right here. You will be covering the boys, make sure to dance with as many as possible and try to make them crack, make them hold their covers. Here is a list of the boys you are assigned and in teh left hand column is who they're supposed to be. Have a nice night." and with that he left me staring at clip board and the names on it.

*These boys are some of our best students. Make sure to dance with all four.
I just stared at the last name for 4 seconds. How was I going to do this. Could I dance with him and talk with him without giving myself away. Zach was an amazing spy, maybe just maybe, i wouldn't have to tell him, maybe he'd figure it out by himself! I promised I wouldn't tell an but maybe if i gave a few hints here and there..just maybe..Don't get your hopes up Cammie, Mr Solomon and your mom disguised you. He's not going to believe you. Your just some boring teacher assigned to get information out of him.
I danced with all the boys on my sheet except for Zachary Goode. I hadn't even seen him all night. I was onthe edge of the dance floor when a girl tripped and fell in front of me. Her drink flew into my face (thank the Lord for waterproof makeup) and my contacts fell out! Crap! well I guess it's no big deal. (I have no idea if a contact can even fall out that way?)I helped the girl up to her feet and saw that it was Macey who'd tripped..wait Macey tripped. She looked up and said ," Sorry!! so Sorry. Thank-" but she stopped and looked into my eyes.
I was prepared if something like this happened. I stepped outof the light a little bit and avoided trained my eyes on a far off nothing and said, "No problem honey, it's ok! Good thing for waterproof makeup huh?" and then I marched off into the dance floor through the whirling dance partners and spotted a quiet corner near the back. Even though I was a different person, I was still the chameleon and I disappeared. I saw a quiet corner in the back and made my way over there. I soon as I was behind the wall made a sigh of relief.
"Nice back here isn't it." someone said from behind me. And that voice was all too familiar.
"Um, yes..I'm new to this whole teacher thing...I needed a few minutes." I said turning around. I looked up into the face of the one and only Zachary Goode.
