Cammie POV:
"The Chameleon."
They stared at me in shock both of their mouths opening and closing as they tried to form words resembling gold fish.
Jonas was the one who broke the ice, "B-b-but you're a girl." For someone with nearly as big of an IQ as Liz he sure does say some stupid things doesn't he. Liz slapped his arm and Macey glared at him while Nick nodded in agreement which earned his a smack on the face.
"So what are you against girls being CIA legacies?" I asked challenging them as Nick and Jonas became flustered as they shot looks back and forth about how they could get out of the hole they dug themselves into.
"No not even close to thinking that but we were always thought that The Chameleon was a boy since you are a legend at Blackthorne. You are the person we all look up to at Blackthorne the person who we all inspire to become." Nick said and I felt the heat rise to my cheeks as he burst out all of them compliments.
Was I really thought of as a legend the person everyone wants to be back at Blackthorne, the school that was infiltrating Gallagher? "Really? Cammie did you hear that you're like a celebrity to these boys I can't wait to see their faces when they find out!" Macey shouted across the room to me as Liz grew a smile on her face and nodded while Jonas and Nick still tried to regain normality of the situation that The Chameleon was a girl.
"I don't know how you don't know to be honest when Solomon comes over to Blackthorne once every blue moon he is constantly saying how gifted you are and how if we were even close to being anything like you we will amazing in the field." Jonas replied and I felt my heart swell as he told me about how much Solomon boasted about me and how he does actually give out compliments every once in a while.
"Solomon said that?" Macey asked then she saw my face and corrected what she said, "I mean you are all of that but it isn't really like Solomon to hand out compliments of such nature." I nodded at her in satisfaction then stood up and packed away my homework then saw Zach's jacket leaning over a chair. My chest tightened and my eyes filled with tears but I blinked them away before they fell.
"Hey guys can you give this back to Zach he left it here the other night." I asked handing it to Jonas who smiled at me and placed it next to him. As I made my way to the door to go and see my mom since I needed to talk to her about this ball thing I heard Jonas' voice behind me.
"He really is annoyed with what he said after you all left he did too and we found him in our room looking pretty annoyed and he smashed up the room in the process." I turned and smiled at him showing him I knew he was but not that I was going to forgive him then closed the door behind me a small smile creeping into my lips at the thought of what the Blackthorne Boy's reactions would be when they find out who I am- especially a certain green eyed one.
I was walking down the halls when I reached my mom's office and knocked on it lightly then opened it without waiting for her answer.
"Hey mom." I said as I swayed into her office and lounged on the old sofa that had probably heard so many CIA secrets people could only dream of.
She looked up from the papers she pondered over and gave me a warm smile her tired eyes watery and dark circles appearing beneath them, "Hey Kiddo to what do I owe the pleasure?" She asked as she sat back in the leather chair removing the strands of hair that had fallen from her tight bun throughout the day.
"Two things actually what is the business with the dance I mean I have been in this line of work long enough to know you don't just go to mysterious balls for no apparent reasons. So what's going on?" I asked crossed my legs and grabbing a bottle of water from the mini fridge next to me and taking a small sip of the fresh cool water that ran down my dry throat.
"What are we going to do you Kiddo?" My mom asked coming to sit next to me slipping off her opened toed black stilettos and placing them up on the couch her blood red pencil skirt rising to her thigh. "Well you will all be giving covers and stick with them and you get a good grade in Covert Operations don't then you get a bad grade; also Mrs Dabney will be marking you on your social skills and general politeness." I smiled at the aspect of the cover but groaned at the thought of being lady like to everyone no matter how much they annoy me with their cocky ignorant attitude and their dreamy deep green eyes that I can't help but get lost in. Snap out of it Cammie you don't like him, remember.
"Oh how fun! Secondly why does the Blackthorne boys think The Chameleon is a boy, and why didn't you tell me that they are like in live with The Chameleon?" I asked and her eyes glistened with pride and she wrapped her arms around me and smiled into my head.
"That's simple Cammie, you're The Chameleon the girl no one sees so how would they know the gender?" My mom asked and I chuckled into her chest then we turned to my boy drama. "Now Cammie what us going on with you and Zach, what happened in the library?" I knew she knew what happened- she is one of the best spies in the world.
"Well I haven't really talked to him other than when he tried to apologise also in the library we sort of maybe... kissed a little." My cheeks shone a shade of light pink as a small embarrassed smile graced my lips and my mom smirked and nodded proving my theory of knowing all along.
"So do you like him?" She asked as I sat up and repositioned my cushion from my back to hugging in to my stomach.
"I don't really know I mean sure he is good looking and when we were alone he was kind and not cocky but the minute people are around he turns into this cocky ass with an ego the size of America." I sighed putting my head in my hands rubbing my temple with my fingertips not sure what should be going through my mind at the moment.
She then leaned across the sofa and patted my back slowly laughing to herself then she jumped up and ran across the room jumping over the papers piled on the floor. I looked at her through my fingers a confused look crossing my face and she grabbed a silver box from a cupboard. Once it was out she sat down next to me and I looked at the box and it was beautiful. It have patterns on the left hand upper corner made up of black lines and silver gems then that was a black thick silver ribbon tied around it in a big bow.
"Open it." Mom demanded and I smiled at her as she smiled knowingly.
I slowly entwined the ribbon and it fell apart from the box and rested on my lap, running my hands down the cool box I gently lifted the lid off. Inside there was red tissue paper overflowing and I tore away the small silver sticker and was greeted with soft elegant blood red dress top. I let out a gasp of breath as I ran my fingers across the heart neckline that was decorated with diamonds on the chest then travelled down the dress separating slowly like a waterfall.
Placing the box on the coffee table in front of me and lifted it up from the jewelled chest and the long red silk draped to the floor a small trail coming out from behind it and I smiled at it then saw a small pale blue tiffany box inside and I gently placed the dress in the box and lifted out the blue one. My mom beckoned for me to open it and I lifted it to be greeted with a small diamond bracelet that was simple yet sophisticated and there was matching diamond earrings too. Smiling from ear to ear and wrapped my arms around her neck and breathed in her expensive perfume thanking her like there was no tomorrow.
"Do you like it?" My mom asked between laughs and she stared down at the lake of red silk and diamonds.
"Like it I love it!" I shouted and continued awing at the cherry red silky dress that I couldn't believe I, The Chameleon, would have on at the dance.
Please review I put this chapter in because I got a review asking what Rachel and Solomon's involvement was going to be. Also I said the dance would be in a months' time but consider that officially changed as it is now in two weeks' time. Sorry for any confusion.
I will update it when the reviews reach 140, so get reviewing! I think maybe there will be a few surprises coming up in the next chapter…
