Chapter 11

Gallagher Academy

No One. I wanted to talk to no one. All I wanted to was curl up in ball and try and process my lie of a life. I hated my dad… the fake one. I didn't even know my own dad. I hated my friends for keeping that kind of thing from me.

Heck, I didn't even know if they were my friends anymore. So I stared up at the top of the cabin of the plane. Sleep would not come. I heard the snores of Bex and I think it was Grant. The light Zach had on was bothering me but other than that it was dark in the room. Zach's pen kept up it's annoying scratching.

The snores continued. Probably one of the worst day/night ever.

I defiantly knew when the plane landed. It was a bumpy decent. Everyone scrambled as if their lives depended in it. I just sat there not knowing what to do until Flynn pulled me gently up. "Come on." He said softly.

I went, not speaking. All I really wanted was some food. I was starving. You would think they would have food on places like this. Well not this one. Needless to say I was in a bad mood.

We walked on to a small airstrip. The wind whipped around us, making the air colder. "Where are we?" I asked.

"You will find out soon enough. We'll do the question and answer portion later." Flynn said. Well that just made my day. Great… more waiting.

I was hustled into a car with Zach at the wheel. Everything was happening to quickly for me. My brain wasn't processing anything at the moment.

The outdoors started flying past as soon as Zach started driving. I barley saw the trees and it made me sick to look at them flying by but I watched anyway.

After about however many hours he slowed as we neared a gate. "Ah, Goode your back. Bring the friend?" the guard said. He was chewing a massive wad of gun and I t was pretty gross. I mean he was standing there smacking it like no tomorrow.

"You bet we did. It's not that hard." Zach said giving the guard a piece of plastic I assumed was an identification piece. The guards laughed scanning the card. Zach slipped it back into his pocket.

"Proceed with caution." The guard said blowing a bubble. He was officially the Bubblegum Guard in my book.

Zach drove down a long winding driveway. The grounds were beautiful, green and sprawling. I saw the barn first; It looked like a wonderful place to hide. Then I saw the mansion. It was large and the windows were arched. The curves of the building looked old. The whole thing did. But it seemed to have a homey feeling to it.

"Welcome to the Gallagher Academy." Macey said. I looked over at her but quickly brought my eyes back to the school. The drive curved bringing us to the front of the school. Everyone seemed to be less tense and moved more slowly now that we were inside of the school grounds.

"Wait here." Flynn said as I stepped out of the car. The car that had followed containing Bex, Liz, Grant and Jonas puled behind ours. They all conferred for a moment before walking back towards me.

"Where are we going." I said as Bex and Grant fell instep beside me.

"Just follow Lizzie here. She knows where to take you." So I did but they stayed flanking me.

"Where are the others?"

"They are coming. Just wait."

We walked up a huge flight of stairs with a mahogany railing and a rich red worn carpet. "This would be the Hall Of History." Bex said.

"She doesn't care Baxter." Grant muttered.

"Shut your trap, toe rag" Bex snapped back.

Grant mocked hurt, his hand over his heart. "It hurts, Baxter. Right here." He said.

Bex just glared ahead, her pace quickening. The hall was full of ancient looking devices. Late morning light seeped through stain glass windows. "What is this place?" I asked. Bex looked at me but Liz spoke instead.

"This is the place where all of the greatest spy inventions come. All were made by Gallagher girls. No boys. They go elsewhere." Bex aimed a kick at Liz but she jumped away.

"You wish some were made by a certain guy don't you Lizzie?" Bex said smirking. Liz blushed and hurried own the hall to an oak door.

There she waited for us her hands folded in patience. "Go ahead Lizzie." Bex said. Liz opened the door to reveal quiet a scene. A man and a woman were frantically trying to calm down a baby. None of their techniques seemed to work.

"They may be some of the most seasoned operatives in the CIA but they can't calm a baby to save their lives." Bex muttered to me cracking a smile. Grant cleared his throat and the man and the woman whipped around the baby wailing over her shoulder.

"Oh! Your all here." She said handing the baby over the man. She fixed her hair before walking over to us.

"Hello. I'm DeeDee Abrams, Headmistress of Gallagher Academy. You must be Cammie." She said with a sweet smile. I give a small smile. "I'm so sorry for this mess. My husband and I, Get over here Josh, we are just trying to figure this out. I'm sure you have lots of questions."

The man, Josh, came up beside DeeDee. The baby had calmed a bit but was still crying. "Mrs. Abrams, The rest are on their way up. Cammie knows about her father. She knows what is happening in a way. But she hasn't said a word." Bex said politely her voice tinged with her British accent.

"Oh, Come here dear." DeeDee lead me towards a leather couch by a window. I had no choice but to follow. "Josh, would you mind, getting our guest something to drink."

"But… What about…."

"Go!" DeeDee said waving her husband away.

The room was silent. DeeDee took a seat at her desk hands clasped in front of her mouth. Josh came back in, baby less and set glasses of water down. Than both DeeDee and Josh left for a minute and came back with the baby again.

The room got a lot more crazier when the rest came. Eventually they all looked at me. "What?' I asked looking at them.

"We have a bit more to tell you." Macey said.

"And what more do I need to know?" I asked cocking an eyebrow.

Zach moved to a window. "Does anything ever seem fuzzy to you Cammie?" DeeDee asked moving to lean against the desk next to Josh.

"This whole thing is fuzzy to me." I said which caused them to laugh. "Not funny." I muttered.

They stopped and looked at me. "What are your questions Cammie?" Josh asked.

"What the heck happened? What are you not telling me? And is all of this true or not?" I shot out.

"Oh. It's all true. Every bit of it they told you. You have something your fake dad wants and he is determined to get it and after words well your dead." Josh said.

My eyes went wide. "Why would he want to kill me?"

"You're the daughter of the man he hates the most. Also those are his orders. You follow their orders when they give your orders."

"What does this have to do with my mom?"

"Your mom wouldn't give him the answers he wanted so he made sure she died a long slow painful death. When she wouldn't budge and she wasn't dying fast enough, she was fighting the poison, but lost in the end." I looked down at my lap not wanting to speak anymore.

"But these seven are some of our youngest and best operative and they did this case perfectly. They will be highly rewarded once this is all said and done" DeeDee said.

"Wait… they… graduated already?" I asked. Nervous looks were exchanged around the room.

"Jonas is the oldest. He's 21. Graduated four years ago. This was his big chance to help." Bex said softly. I looked at them.

"Zach here's the youngest. 19 he is and just turned so as well." Grant said clapping Zach on the shoulder.

"Wait… that would make it illegal when we dated I'm only 17!" I said. Zach looked at the floor.

"I was 18 when we were dating Cam." He said softly. "It wouldn't be illegal ever. That's why we had him do it." Liz said.

"But you all went to school with me since kindergarten. Bex always had a crush on Grant. Liz liked Jonas. Zach was best friend. Flynn didn't appear until two months ago." I said.

These lies and secrets were really getting on my nerves.

"That's another thing we have to tell you… We might have modified your memory a bit' Liz said with a guilty smile. Anger boiled up inside of me.

"To tell you the truth Cam, you and Winter were best friends. After we found your dad and realized he was in cohorts with Winter's mom we came into the picture. Your mom knew. She gave you the memory modification tea. After that you never knew Winter and she turned against you. Zach had to cheat on you for this mission. It was necessary."

I glanced over at Zach. He was looking at the floor not meeting anyone's glances. "YOU MODIFED MY MEMORY! MY LIFE IS EVEN MORE OF A LIE THAN IT WAS BEFORE?" I yelled.

DeeDee flinched. "After the tea we became your best friends. Zach become more."

"Finally I asked the question I had been dying to ask. I wanted to drop the memory tea. "Was my mom a spy?" I asked. DeeDee answered that. "Your mom was my best friend. She was the best spy I had ever seen next to your dad." DeeDee had tears in her eyes talking about my mom.

I pushed mine down. "When I found out she died…" DeeDee didn't continue but turned into Josh. I looked at my hands again.

"Thanks for telling me about my lie of a life. Now can I please have some food and maybe this will go down a lot better than it is now." I snapped.

*:*:*:*:*:*:*

Dinner was brought up to us in the headmistresses office. I was told how I would start learning here at Gallagher like my mom and dad always wanted me too. I had to admit the crème brulee was some of the best I had ever had.

'What about my dad? Will I ever get to meet him?" I asked. The room got quiet. DeeDee looked up from her baby, whose name was Alessia. Zach looked down at his food. "Well is anyone going to tell me?" I asked after a minute.

"Um, Cam, that's the thing. We have no idea when your real dad is. He went missing years ago. Looking for you and your mom." Macey said folding her hands in her lap.

'Well that's helpful." I said.

"We have suspicions though. We figure Joe got very close to finding you. The Circle took him and has been holding him captive. He might be alive. He might be Dead." Josh said.

I didn't want to know anymore after that. How could both my parents be dead. That was sad. I could technically be an orphan. Just than the door burst open.

"Zach! My baby you're here and your safe!' a woman came streaking in and enveloped Zach in a huge hug. Zach, if he had been standing would have fallen over.

"Hey Mom." He said as she pulled away.

"This is your mom?" I said standing up.

'Cammie! Oh my goodness you look so much like your mother! Oh I'm so sorry about what happened!" Zach's mom said.

'Catherine. Calm down a little bit. Cammie's had a rough couple days." DeeDee said standing up.

"Wait you bother knew my mom?" I said in disbelief.

"We were her best friends at Gallagher." Catherine said.

"And Your Zach's MOM? I thought his mom's name was Jessica?" I said.

Catherine's face fell. "That would be my twin sister. She's the one that's… after… you." She ended quietly.

"AND YOU DIDN"T BOTHER TO TELL ME THIS!" I yelled. Everyone looked guilty bur Bex looked at me straight on.

"Blame the spy world Cammie. Spies lie all the time for different reasons." She said.

"Anything else you'd like to tell me?" I snapped. Everyone looked a little worried about my outburst.

"Your mother was going to take my position before she disappeared. " DeeDee volunteered.

"I'm the first foreign Gallagher Girl accepted." Bex said softly.

`"The five of us are all trained assassins." Grant said.

"During Zach's 10th grade year a girl disappeared. Blackthorne was doing and exchange here at Gallagher. There was a ball. And then a code black and she was gone. Her name was Mary." Flynn said softly. The name Mary seemed to bring pain to his eyes.

The room grew quiet. "I think it's time for bed now." DeeDee said clapping her hands together.

::*:*:*:*:*:*:

I was given a suite that looked like it used to be and attic with Bex, Liz and Macey. I didn't speak to any of them.

I just took a shower and slipped into bed which was surprisingly really soft. "Who was Mary?" I asked softly.

They stopped moving around the room. Bex bit her lip. 'She was a junior. Really smart, got in a year early because of it. She would have made a great spy. Now we don't know if she is dead or alive. We have no idea what happened to her."

"Flynn got really close to her. They were practically dating." Macey said plopping on her bed.

"Flynn was also the first foreign student at Blackthorne." Liz said.

"Oh." Was my only response when the lights were turned out.

But I couldn't sleep. I tossed and I turned until about two in the morning. Nothing worked. So I got up and snuck out of the room. The halls seemed just as beautiful during the night than at day.

My mom had gone here? I was jealous. No wonder she had seemed so smart. "Cammie?" I whipped around to find Zach, his eyes clouded with sleep. All he had on was his pajama pants… I kept my eyes at a point beyond his shoulder,

There was a day when I would have gawked at them but not anymore. Those days are over.

"Come on Cammie, Let's go back to bed." Zach said obviously trying to wake up.

"How did you find me?" I asked.

"Spy." He said back guiding me away. His hand fell to my back guiding me through the halls.

"Don't touch me. I can walk on my own." I snapped.

"Then go back to bed! I could be sleeping right now!" Zach grumbled.

I frowned at him. "Why didn't you tell me Zach?" I asked when we reached the suite.

"I couldn't but I need to talk to you. And soon. I have some explaining to do." he said.

"You betcha you do! But why would I listen to you? Everything you told me was a lie! I don't even know if you even loved me like you said you…" I was cut off by Zach giving me a quick kiss.

It shut me up quickly. He opened the door as her said his lips hovering over mine. "Don't be so quick to judge me. I only show you what I want you to see."

Yep…. Zach's mom is good in this story… Everyone make her the bad guy and I think she deserves a chance to be the good guy for once. But I the book I do not like her! So It seems like to me everything is reversed than in the books! And I like that! It's fun!

A few things:

To the person who said I could be an author: THANK YOU! THAT MADE MY DAY!
To the person who asked about the love essay: Yes I did write it… I may have just been through a bad break up… sorry if I offened any lovers out there :D

To the People who want more Zammie: there will be a bit… Like that kiss up there! But I have a really good idea for the end!

OH YEA TEAM PEETA!
