A/N. So, here's chapter 2 of my story. Thank you for the reviews, favorites, and follows I've gotten, they're really encouraging. I'm glad that people like my story so far. So, hopefully after this update, I'll get to update again sometime this week, I'm not quite sure though because midterms are coming up this week. Which, by the way, I'm really supposed to be studying for, but am currently procrastinating by writing this fanfiction. This update is really long because I'm not quite sure when I'll be able to update next. I'm hoping to get more then 10 reviews before I post the next part after this, and if I get a lot, I might have more incentive to post quicker. Have fun reading!
P.S. Shoutout to cammieXzachxx, xxbballuvrxx3, and wittykittylizzie for being my first reviewers. Thanks guys!

Living with Spies
Recap:
I silently treaded back to my room, willing my roommates to be in the same condition I had left them in; as snoring girls. Opening the door, the creaking seemed like shouting in a quiet room. Looking up, my heart dropped to the floor. My hopes had been in vain. Three furious faces glared back at me… I was in so much trouble.
"Hello Cameron," stated Bex.
"Umm..Hi guys."
"Care to share where you were?"
"Umm…not really. I'm kinda tired now, so I'm just going to go to bed right now."
"No wait Cammie you can't just…" Liz started to blurt out.
Fortunately, she didn't get a chance to finish because Bex and Macey had dragged her off to the corner of the room near the window; the farthest spot from my bed. Well, at least they weren't planning to interrogate me. It was now exactly 2:13 in the morning according to my internal clock, and I was exhausted. Technically I had gotten zero sleep because the entire time I was supposed to be asleep, I was just faking it, waiting for my always nosy roommates to fall asleep.
I could hear snippets of whispers drifting over from the corner as Macey, Liz, and Bex talked, most likely, about me, but I really could care less. I needed my sleep, as we were going to have to wake up in exactly 2 hours and 47 minutes. Granted, we technically didn't have to wake up and be at breakfast until seven, but with Macey forcing us to "dress up" because the boys were here, there was no way we'd be ready to go in under two hours. Therefore, we woke up at five in order to have a decent amount of time in the shower, without getting screamed at to get out.
Climbing into bed, I rolled around, making sure my back was facing the girls as I drifted off to sleep. I could still hear Zach's voice as he softly whispered into my ear those special three words. After repeating them in my head, they became a mantra as I finally fell asleep for real.
Just as I was finally able to fall asleep… Splash! I screamed as the frigid ice water splashed onto my face, soaking my blanket and duvet cover, even permeating through to make makeshift tank top and boy short pajamas soaking wet.
"What the HELL!"
I quickly rolled into a sitting position, my eyes bleary with the remains of the water still covering them. Because I had just been soaked in water, my internal clock had been temporarily disabled, forcing me to rely on technology for the time. Glancing over at the digital clock next to me, I was able to clearly see the time. 4:30 in the morning. I had officially gotten 2 hours and 17 minutes of sleep…my life sucks.
"I'm really sorry Cammie," said a very apologetic Liz, "They made me do it."
Looking up, I could see two grinning faces and one slightly grinning but mostly apologetic face. Annoyed I grabbed my bathrobe from the foot of the bed, and stomped off towards the bathroom. Ignoring their cries for me to wait, I slammed the door in their faces, and yelled over my shoulder, "If you wanted to hear about what me and Zach did last night, you really shouldn't have given me such a special wake up call. Now you'll just have to wait until I take my shower…my really looong shower." Then, drowning out their exclamations of protest and surprise, I pulled the shower curtain shut and turned the steaming water on.
After reveling in the wonderful feeling of the hot water and steam as it hit my back, I stepped out of the bathroom a full fifty minutes and twelve seconds later with my makeup already applied, my hair dried and straightened, my teeth brushed, and face washed. I knew better then to let Macey do my makeup. She always took hours to do it, and put so much makeup on that your face felt like it was cracking and sliding off your face whenever you talked or even breathed. Although she assured me that I looked gorgeous when I properly put on the makeup, I assured her that I frankly didn't care.
Ignoring the three girls who were clearly annoyed at the length of my long shower and callous attitude, I walked over to my bed and slipped on my Macey McHenry "approved" outfit. Because we were seniors, and because I had prepared a sixty page kick ass report on why uniforms constricted the minds and creativity of children, we were allowed to bypass the uniforms that all of the other juniors, sophomores, and freshman were required to wear. At the news, Macey had practically died, rushing around to organize our wardrobes for the upcoming year while Bex, Liz, and I had just rolled our eyes at her as she exclaimed that it was a "very serious matter."
The outfit laid out for me was a pair dark skinny jeans with a strapless white lace shirt and a tan and navy sweater with heart elbow pads at the elbows of the sweater, as well as the navy blue jean headband with diamond studs beaded around it. I also added the heart diamond necklace that my mom had given me last week during our Sunday night dinner because it had a voice recording feature that I was sure I was going to have to use at some point in the day.
Meanwhile, the three girls took turns taking their five minute quick showers, haha,and I leisurely sat around reading the, Covert Operations Guidebook for Enjoyment, that was only opened when we wanted to annoy the others. Undoubtedly, the girls were cursing me in their minds and out loud in about 20 different languages, but I tuned them out as I read the same line in the book over and over again, trying to appear nonchalantly busy. At exactly six twenty nine, the book was ripped out of my hands by, who else, Rebecca Baxter, and then I was ordered to explain to them where I had been last night.
Because I knew they wouldn't leave me alone until I had spilled the beans, they really wouldn't, I quickly gave them a recap of what had happened, leaving out the part where I had gotten the note. I knew they would kill me if I hadn't known it was Zach and had still gone in without backup or comms. So, I just let them assume, Zach had spoken to me previously and invited me to join him instead of me going off on some adventure to meet some random person whose intentions were unclear.
After they exclaimed over Zach's declaration of love to me, and our romantic kissing moments, they finished getting ready, and we made our way up to the dining hall. Halfway into the room, I felt Zach loop his arm around my waist as I headed towards our usual table.
"Hey Gallagher Girl"
"Hey Zach"
"Enjoy last night?"
"Very much"
"Good," he replied, whispering into my ear. "Let's do it again sometime."
Smiling, I started to walk towards my table where Bex and Liz were smiling knowingly at me. Sighing, I realized I would have to give them a detailed explanation of what had just happened. They were my best friends, but sometimes they could be real pains.
Before I could completely walk away, Zach stated, "Let me grab breakfast for you…waffles and syrup okay?" I nodded, and, he smiled at me and then pulled me close for a quick kiss. I could feel Bex's eyes burning a hole into my skull, as we pulled apart. "See you in a minute Gallagher Girl."
Sitting down at the table, I started to confer with Bex and Liz as I waited for Zach to bring me my breakfast. While we were talking, Grant slipped in and sat next to Bex, while Jonas took a seat next to Liz. Glancing at them, I smiled to myself. Nerd love was so adorable. I didn't know where Macey and Nick where, and I wasn't sure if I really wanted to know.
Feeling Zach nudge me to move over, I slid to the left, and took my plate from him. As soon as he sat down, he addressed our entire group saying, "So did you guys hear? We have a CoveOps field trip today."
A/N: End of this chapter so far. Read, review, follow, and share with others. I hope you like it. Also, I would like people's opinion on adding multiple POV's to the story. Let me know in your reviews. Remember, I would really like 10 reviews total before I post the next chapter. REVIEW 3
