This was it, my 'first' day. Well the first day I was in lessons. Since they didn't have a girls uniform, I was allowed to wear whatever I wanted to so I chose combat boots, black skinny jeans and a white tank top; more similar colours to the boys, but today since there was no way that I would go unrecognised, I wanted all the boys to know that I was not someone to be messed with. I felt confident that my training that I would be an equal with them, the ignorant girl was gone and I took her place, and I was going to put up a fight.
Joe came to collect me from my door at half past 7, (finally I got a sleep in) and we walked to the Hall even though I already knew where it was from my explorations yesterday.
"Cammie, I want you to sit with your guides today, their names are Z"
"Zach, Grant and Jonas, Joe I already know them names from my snooping yesterday" I grinned up at him as he smiled down. He was becoming more like my father every day and I could feel a special bond between us, I mean he was technically my Godfather.
"I'm so proud of you".
His words warmed me to my core and I felt unsurprisingly happy. But my thoughts were interrupted by the large doors in front of us, I breathed in and stepped forward to open them but Joe had other ideas.
"No Cammie, remember how we were talking about you being a natural pavement artists before?"
"Yeah…" I knew where this was going and I was a bit nervous.
"I want you to see if you can sneak in and remain unnoticed". I saw him looking at me with complete confidence, he had more confidence in me than I did in myself.
"I'll try" and with that I quietly slipped through the doors and skidded around the room, keeping in the shadows. I had already been in the hall, but then it was empty unlike with all these loud chatting boys. Knowing there was only one entrance and exit, even for a spy. I ended up at the front of the hall sitting in Joes seat. It was hilarious no one noticed me. I quietly sipped a drink as Joe stood on the Podium.
"Good morning boys" Wow, who knew Joe was this scary around them, it was no way near how we acted around me. His body language was intimidating and superior and his face was cold and impassive.
"Today we have a new student, and I except you to all make her welcome".
The boys started whispering, he said 'her'.
"Why doesn't she come introduce herself".
I stood up, feeling everyone's shocked gaze on me. One of the teachers I was sitting next to fell out of her chair at the surprise, causing some sniggers. I walked over to the podium, smiling at Joe who smiled back (I'm pretty sure that made some mouths drop).
"Hi, I'm Cammie" I turned to see joe give me a look so I turned back around and sighed.
"Fine I'm Cameron Morgan" (That caused some more jaws to drop, I guess they knew I was a legacy) "I have been told I'm a pavement artist and I don't have a codename yet". I stood down and turned to Joe.
"That was hilarious"
"Nice hiding place in plain sight, anyway you should go sit with the boys, they're over there" He pushed me towards the boys, they were all the class that saw me when I was hyperventilating, super.
I sat down and smiled at the boys, "Hi".
The gorgeous green eyed boy, Zach spoke first.
"Hi, I'm Za…"
"Your Zach, he's Grant and He's Jonas; I know"
Despite looking a little surprised he continued going, "Mr Soloman said we're your guides".
He didn't sound all that pleased and I did not like that at all.
"If it's too much trouble, I'm sure some other boys would be willing to help me", I smiled sweetly down the aisle and saw boys grinning and smirking back.
"NO" all three boys said at the same time, "No ignore Zach he was just being stupid, we'd love to help you" the Greek god Grant answered.
"Aren't you hungry?" Jonas said, nodding at the lack of food in front of me.
"I didn't get here in time to get any food" Secretly I was starving but there was nothing I could do about it now.
Suddenly a voice behind me spoke, "I got some toast" I whipped around to be faced with warm brown eyes staring back at me.
"I'm Ethan" he said, handing me the toast.
I took it willingly give him a smile, "I'm Cammie, and thanks".
He sat down next to me on the other side of Zach as I started eating.
"So what's your story?"
"Well I grew up like a normal girl and then a few months Joe kidnapped me even though he still call it 'protecting' and brought me here and we have been training for the last few months".
"Mr Soloman lets you call him Joe? Wait that not even my first question, if you have only been training for a few months, why are you put in a class with us who have been training for years? And how were you able to hide in plain sight like that?" Jonas rambled on while Zach was still stiff and silent, he'd been like been since Ethan had sat down, it was weird.
I finished my toast and stood up, "The answer to your questions are Yes, you'll see and with skill" and with that I walked off. I had only just put away my plate when Zach caught up.
"So where did you used to go to school?"
" I went to this public high school in my old town called Gallagher High school".
"So you're a Gallagher Girl?"
"Cause that's inventive"
He just shrugged.
"Well Mr Guide, take me to class" I said, fully aware of what class I had next and where it was situated, I just didn't want him to get uptight like he did at breakfast.
On the way, boys stared at me, some secretly and some not so secretly… I wasn't used to all this attention, but even the chameleon can't hide in a hallway.
We walked through the Cove Ops door and took our seats, me next to him with Ethan on the other side on me and Grant and Jonas behind us. Once everyone was seated, Joe slammed open the door and walked in with his cool demeanour.
"Class is cancelled everybody! Meet me in the Grand Hall in 5, oh and wear casual clothes"
And with that statement he left, wait 5 MINUTES, how is anybody supposed to get change in that short a time span. I bolted from the classroom, ignoring Zach, Grant and Jonas as they protested after me. I sprinted down the hallways to my room and threw open the door, whatever I was going to wear, I was going to look HOT!
