A/N: Wow thanks for the reviews and follows! I got so many for that last chapter! This one was hard to do and I don't think it's very good, but please bear with me; I've got some really exciting ideas for the next chapter planned out. Also sorry for the late update, I'm usually a really quick updater but this was a hard chapter, the next update will be ten times quicker.

Thanks again for the reviews, if you have a spare minute please do review, I read them all and take them all into account.

I couldn't even imagine the shade of red my face had gone. But I didn't doubt that it was bright as I spotted Mr Solomon and Zach making their way towards me, closely followed by a guilty Bex.

'Bex has told me everything' Mr Solomon stated, not looking me in the eyes. I could have sworn he was more embarrassed than me.

'What you… do… in your free time is none of my concern' he said. I breathed out a sigh of relief. 'However, when it takes place in school time I'm afraid it becomes my concern' I held my breath again.

'I understand that your friends pushed you into this' I opened my mouth to protest, ready to protect my sisters but Mr Solomon held up his hand to stop me. 'But you're not completely blameless; after all, this was ultimately your decision' I nodded, prepared to accept my amount of the blame.

'Will you tell my mom?' I asked.

The answer was obvious. 'Yes' Mr Solomon said 'I hope you understand that I couldn't possibly not tell her'

Mr Solomon sighed before saying 'I would never expect this kind of behaviour from you Ms Morgan'

'I didn't expect it from myself' I muttered.

I groaned inwardly as I saw a stroppy photographer approach me.

'Is this your Dad?' the photographer asked without waiting for an answer. 'You need to tell your daughter it's not a good idea to waste our time!'

'Well actually, I don't think you should be allowed to photograph a fifteen year old girl in those garments when she clearly has no idea what she's doing' Mr Solomon retorted angrily, a note of warning in his voice, it was a tone I'd never heard before.

The photographer paused like he was about to retaliate but then stormed off cursing under his breath.

Mr Solomon turned to me, finally looking at me. 'Go get changed and get that stuff off of your face and we'll get you back' he said softly, almost kindly.

I nodded and walked back into the dressing room fighting back tears as I threw on my old top and jeans. I got out a makeup wipe and attempted to wipe the disgusting makeup off my face. There was no denying my face now had a green tint to it, but at least I could now blame illness on my bad mood.

I grabbed a hat from my backpack and stuffed my curly mop of hair underneath it, knowing that the others would probably be wearing weird things too because of the mission.

I took one last look at myself and walked out of the room.

Zach placed a hand around my waist but I shrugged it off, knowing that Zach had told Mr Solomon where to find me.

I expected him to just leave it alone until he said angrily into my ear 'I didn't tell him you know, he was tailing you because he wanted to see how you did with your mission. He found me and asked me why you'd gone in there. There are only so many excuses you can make… and it's probably lucky we came when we did, you looked like you were about to faint'

I smiled a little as he spoke thinking of Zach trying to fob Mr Solomon off with excuses. Zach seemed to forget his anger too and soon enough he was smiling as well. He put his arm around my waist again and this time I didn't shrug it off I leaned in to him.

Mr Solomon and Bex walked out in front and even when we approached the rest of our class Zach's arm was still tightly around my waist.

'Woah what happened to you Cammie, you look green! Are you ill?' Tina asked.

I couldn't lie to my sister so Zach stepped in thankfully and said 'Yeah, she just needs to be left alone to rest'

Tina's eyes grew wide and she looked at me and Zach together.

We all got into the Gallagher Academy van, no one else asked me any questions and I enjoyed just sitting back and listening to the rest of the class's stories. Grant had apparently been smacked around the face when he'd been caught by an old woman pickpocketing her handbag, which was true. Tina had been approached by ten boys who all wanted her and she had to turn them all down, that one was false and made up by none other than Tina herself.

As soon as we got back I noticed Mr Solomon disappear into my mom's office, I swallowed the lump in my throat.

'I'll go and explain to the girls' Bex said.

I nodded gratefully. I was alone with Zach.

I turned towards him, keeping my voice low as I said 'Thank you'

'No problem' he said grimly. 'I know you didn't want to do that'

I shifted uncomfortably.

'I had to say you looked pretty hot though' He smirked at me.

I smacked him on the arm before walking slowly back to my room.

I found myself pausing outside, not sure what my friends were going to say, not wanting to know.

However before I could step through the door someone cleared their throat behind me. I turned round to face Mr Solomon.

'Ms Morgan can I have… A word' His voice was serious and I couldn't say anything but walk down the hallway towards him.

'I'm not going to tell your mother' he didn't show any emotion.

'Oh…' I said numbly.

'This isn't a favour for you Ms Morgan, it's for your mother, she doesn't need to know and I know you won't do anything like this ever again' I nodded my head aggressively at his words.

He tapped me gently on the back. 'Get back to your room and write me a paper on how your mission SHOULD have gone today'

I gave him a small smile and nodded again as I trekked back to my room, taking a deep breath before entering.

I was grateful they didn't question me. Instead I got sympathetic smiles which I kind of welcomed after the day I'd had.

I scrubbed at my face ferociously trying to get the horrible tint of green off my face.

'Here let me do it' Macey grinned at me as she got out her more expensive makeup wipes and began dabbing at my face.

'Thanks Macey' I sighed.

'It's all our fault you know, you've got nothing to be sorry for' Macey said awkwardly, apologies weren't her thing.

I shook my head 'I agreed to it, it's fine, I just want to forget about it, whenever I think about it I feel sick'

'Urm Cam' Bex interrupted from across the room by the window. 'Can you remember what that model scout man looked like?'

'Who? Henry?' I asked confused.

'Yeah…' Bex replied 'Because I may be mistaken but he's outside the Gallagher Academy gates…'

I ran over to the window, just reaching it before Liz and Macey. 'Oh my gosh' I breathed as I saw Henry talking to one of the guards at the gate. He looked angry.

'He must be mad about me leaving the modelling job early… or that I did crap' I said shaking.

'How does he know I even go to school here?' I asked suddenly.

I saw Bex's gaze switch guiltily to the floor 'I may have mentioned it in an email'

'It's fine, he won't get in' laughed Macey, forgetting that not that long ago we'd said the same thing about her.

Before I could say anything a siren pierced the air.

'CODE RED, CODE RED'

'Cammie! Cammie calm down!' Bex yelled at me over the thumping noise of the alarm that pulsed through my head. I was either on the verge of fainting or hyperventilating, both seemed a good escape from what I knew was going to happen. I was busted.

Taking deep breaths I looked back out of the window. The man was actually trying to force his way through the gates, obviously unaware that the guards had more than fifty years of spy training.

I fell down onto the floor rocking back and forth, trying to think of a plan, but it was impossible.

'Cam, he's going!' Liz said in her timid voice that was almost drowned out by all the noise.

I peeked over the edge of the window and actually allowed myself to breath as I saw a furious Henry marching back the way he'd come and sure enough the piercing sirens stopped.

I exhaled deeply as I fell back down to the floor in relief.

I made my way to my mom's office, my legs were shaking and I actually had to put all my concentration into walking straight and not falling down.

I sighed as I ran straight into Zach.

'Woah, Gallagher Girl, what's up?' He took my hands in his, making my hands tremble even more.

'What are you doing here?' I whispered. I couldn't look him in the eyes. It was like he knew everything about me, he'd seen me vulnerable, he'd seen me sad, and I'd just seen Zach.

'I was just on my way to get a book out of the library for our CoveOps homework, but then I ran into a girl who looks like she's about to pass out cold on the floor'

I gave a weak smile.

'So are you going to tell me what's up?' He whispered, even though we were in the middle of an empty hallway with no other rooms or people in sight.

I hesitated, I didn't know if I could trust him, I didn't know if he'd laugh or mock me, I didn't know him.

I sighed as I said 'It's the model agent, he tried to get into the school, probably to yell at me for upsetting one of the clients, or for being a bad model, or maybe I didn't look right…' I babbled on until I felt my voice crack and tears were flowing down my cheeks.

'I was on my way to my mom's office to find out if she knows about what the code red was REALLY for… if she knows what I did' I finished, my voice now an incoherent mumble.

I cringed as Zach laughed, but then I realised It wasn't mocking, it was kind of soothing, as if I were worrying about nothing.

I didn't even have time to compose myself before I felt Zach's lips touch mine gently as my tears brushed against his skin and then he pulled away slightly, looking me straight in the eyes. I struggled to keep the staring contest going, his eyes were amazingly intense.

But then he blinked and I quickly looked down again, running my hand through my hair in despair before he grabbed it back and held it again, his thumbs rubbing in soothing circles against the backs of my hands.

'For a spy you really are silly' He smiled.

I glared at him, about to snatch my hands out of his grasp but he grabbed them tighter.

His face was now a blurry haze as I struggled to blink away my tears and carry on glaring at the same time.

'Cammie, listen to me, your mom doesn't know the real reason there was a code red'

'What?' I croaked in disbelief, feeling a little colour come back into my cheeks and my hands steadied, but not completely, I waited for him to elaborate.

'They just think it was some nutter trying to get in here, because he's a civilian they set off the code red just encase, he didn't even say why he was trying to get in, like I said, they just thought he was some random nutter'

'But… but how do you know?' I said faintly.

He raised his eyebrows smugly and said 'Spy'

I took one of my hands out of his and hit him in the chest hard. He didn't even flinch, it felt like I'd just hit a wall but I pretended it hadn't hurt me at all.

He laughed 'Okay so, Mr Solomon told me'

I finally relaxed. If Mr Solomon had told him then it would defiantly be true. I stumbled a little as my whole body relaxed and I felt Zach come closer and steady me.

'Cammie you need to stop worrying' his breath was warm against my face. 'Just forget about what's happened, it will all go back to normal soon'

I smiled up at him wanting to believe his words.

'Come on' he said putting his arm casually around my waist supporting me as he lead me down the corridor the way I'd come 'Come with me to the library, I'll help you do the extra homework Mr Solomon set you now that you don't need to go to your moms office'

I paused suddenly. 'How do you know that Mr Solomon set me extra homework?'

He raised his eyebrows again in an infuriating way and said 'Spy'. I knew better than to hit him this time so I just followed him along the empty corridors to the library.

I wiped under my eyes getting rid of the stray tears before he gently took my hand and lead me into the library that was packed full of Gallagher Girls as it always was in the evenings, most of them staying in there well into the night as they caught up with the kind of homework that takes hours and doesn't just get measured with a grade. That didn't stop them staring at the fact that Zach happened to be one of the only boys in the entire school, and I was holding his hand.

Zach tugged me to the only empty table that happened to be tucked tightly into the corner, deep within the shadows, the same table we'd had our 'study date' a few months before.

I got out pens and paper, making extra sure it wasn't evapopaper. Zach just grinned as he watched me organise my stuff.

'I thought you were doing homework too' I whispered quietly ignoring the glares from the seventh grade girls at the table next to us who looked like they were struggling to write a paper about The Gallagher Academy in the 1980's, a paper I had aced back when I was that age.

'Ok, I lied, I was actually coming to find you, I knew you would freak out about the code red' Zach grinned guiltily.

I would usually have been annoyed at the fact I had been followed or that I was so predictable but it actually made me feel kind of nice that he cared, and that he'd told me the truth for once rather than fobbing me off with excuses and his classic 'Spy' line.

I began to work, Zach giving me little pointers as I wrote about blending into crowds and looking around corners, everything I would and should have done earlier today.

'I tried to follow you earlier, I was worried something like this would happen I'm sorry I couldn't get to you in time' Zach admitted to me.

'Zach, it's my fault, no one else's' I sighed.

'You should stop trying to take the blame' Zach said, almost angrily.

I didn't reply as I continued to work silently on my paper, feeling Zach gradually calm down.

'Sorry' Zach sighed finally. 'It just makes me so angry that someone took advantage of you like that'

'It's fine, it's over now' I said, almost hopefully.

He nodded.

'I've finished my paper' I yawned glancing at the clock that said it was three in the morning as if I didn't already know… or feel it.

I noticed Zach yawn too and to my surprise when I looked around the amount of people in the room had considerably lessened.

He took my hand and we stumbled out the room together. I was hardly looking where I was going I was that tired. Zach was unusually quiet too as we walked slowly through the corridors. I started in surprise as I realised we were outside Zach's room. Zach opened the door and tugged me in, I was so tired I had no idea what I was doing. He pulled me over to one of the beds and I literally collapsed down on it.

I sighed and curled up into a ball, his bed was so much comfier than mine!

'I better go back to my room' I mumbled.

'The rest of the guys are still in the library they won't be back until later, just relax Gallagher Girl'

His voice was just a distant hum, but soon enough his body was curled around mine, his arms around my waist. I felt his breath at the back of my head, it was even and steady. I felt him nudge off my shoes and then he lay back down beside me.

Then I felt his pressure against my body lessen and he became still. I was in my tightest jeans and my uncomfiest jacket but somehow my body became relaxed and still as well, and I fell asleep.

I woke with a start as I heard a distant creek in the background. Someone's body was pressed against me and then I remembered I'd fallen asleep in Zach's room. The buttons on my jeans pressed uncomfortably against my stomach.

'Ahem!' Someone cleared their throat loudly.

'Grant, sh!' I heard someone whisper.

I sat up quickly, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, trying to smooth down my bed hair.

Zach felt me stir and I noticed he began to sit up.

'Well, I hope we didn't wake you two' I saw Grant raise his eyebrows sarcastically, but he gave me a small smile.

'Oh my gosh I'm so sorry' I blurted, jumping off the bed. 'I was so tired… I came back here with Zach… I fell asleep and…' Grant's eyebrows were rising higher and higher as I stammered on.

'Calm down Cammie, they're just being idiots' mumbled Zach who seemed completely unfazed.

Grant laughed 'So how come you can bring girls back to your room and we can't'

'You don't have a girl, remember?' Zach said grumpily.

'Cammie come lay down again' Zach said gently.

I shook my head as I stuffed my feet into my shoes. 'My roommates will be going mental wondering where I am' I gasped. 'I have to go back'

'I guess' Zach mumbled irritated.

'I'll walk you back' Zach offered.

'No it's fine, I'll see you later in class' I said quickly as I darted out the door.

I scolded myself as I realised this basically gave Zach a permanent deal to mock me for the rest of my life. How the hell did I fall asleep in his room?

I took a deep breath as I entered my room, ready to quickly change into my pyjamas and go straight back to sleep, it was already five in the morning!

As soon as I opened the door though I was blinded by the bright light.

'Cammie, thank god!' Liz cried. 'Where have you been?'

'Liz!' Bex scolded and I suddenly noticed there was something wrong.

'What is it?' I said quickly, bracing myself, knowing if it was bad enough to keep Macey awake meant it was VERY bad.

'It's Henry' Liz whispered as if he were here listening to our conversation. 'He sent an email, he said you have to do the Vouge shoot… or else'
