Way way way way overdue I know! Blame it on the writer's block, drama, and my science teacher. I hate school. Urgh
I wish I could say this chapter is completely awesome but it isn't. If it weren't for Ke$ha, I don't think you'll reading this story anymore. Ke$ha is my savoir. Now I will stop my babbling, present to you this chapter, and do my homework.
No one's POV
In the dark of somewhere an operative was reporting to the said operative's superior. The operative was simply referred at "M". You can bet the operative was on a top secret, highly dangerous mission.
Back to Cammie's POV…
It was day after I arrived back at Gallagher's Academy. I drifted through the hallways, thinking back to the times I last been here, when all I was worried about was COW homework and the next Cove Op mission.
It was all before I fought Russian mobsters, hijacked the Royal Bank of Scotland, and saved the thousands of lives who happened to be at the Taj Mahal on one particular day. Not that they'll know they could have died of course, it was all extremely classified.
I though even more back, to the time before Josh, a civilian I once dated, to the time before Zach Goode. I was so carefree, with no worry about boys back then.
Boys who, when it was the last time you've seen him, kissed you passionately and said that he'll always be there and then years later, flirt with an unfamiliar face right in front of you!
Zach must have been somewhat tuned in with the spy in him, although the boy side of was very much in control, since he looked up as I approached.
Autumn, whom he had been flirting with (!), followed his lead and looked at him, and then back to him. Something must have told her that she should leave, so she awkwardly took him arm which had been around her waist (!). She looked back at forth between me, who had frozen and was staring at Zach, and Zach, who was looking right into my eyes, one last time. Then she said, "Well… um, I guess I'll be going breakfast. See ya Zach."
Zach didn't seem to notice that when she was saying those words, she was looking up at him hopefully, as if she wanted him to come with her. Nor did he noticed her crestfallen expression on her perfect, oval shaped face, as he didn't even look at her when he said bye.
He was still staring at me; the only sound between us was Autumn's faint footsteps as she walked away. Then all was quiet as we continued our stare-athon
A feeling rushed through me at that realization before I registered what the feeling was. Then I vehemently denied the feeling.
I do not feel happy that he was looking at me and, not Autumn, I repeated to myself over and over again. Over the time where I was thinking this, Zach face slowly turn to his favorite expression of all time: a smirk.
"So, Gallagher Girl, were you jealous?" Zach said as he strolled toward me, an amused expression playing up on his face.
I glared at him, "Why on earth would I be jealous of some bastard who decides to flirt with a girl he met for less than 24 hours?" I paused, knowing that I do sound very jealous.
Zach chuckled, "It's alright Gallagher Girl." By then he was right in front of me now. "You know I only have eyes for you."
v ignored him and stomped away. Maybe it was a little too dramatic, but I think it gets the point across.
"Hey stop!" he said, running after me. I ignored him and continued my huffy walkout. I probably should have run, since he easily caught up with me.
"Cool it, Gallagher Girl. Jeez. She talked to me, not the other way around."
I paused. "You talked to her back."
"Ever heard of kindness?"
I snorted. "Was there something you wanted to say to me? That doesn't even be a jerk?"
"Actually, yes. See, I'm supposed to be teaching them about tailing and surveillance, and we all know how good you are at that." Zach said.
"So you're asking me if I can teach them about the fine arts of tailing and surveillance?" I asked.
"You got it!"
"Fine, but for the kids, not you." I glared at him.
"Sounds fine by me." He said.
We walked together after that, in silence. He opened the door to the dining hall and broke the silence. "After you, Gallagher Girl" He smirked.
"Why, you're such a gentlemen." I said, sarcasm dripping from my words. I walked in, where my mother was already making an announcement. I noticed that all eyes were on me and then quickly went to Zach. Honestly, it was like when my Gallagher classmates saw Mr. Solomon for the first time.
Little did they know that our graduation day was the last time they would see him. I shook my head, as if shaking off all my lingering shadows.
I slid into the seat between Macey and Bex. "So, you and Zach walking together to the dining hall?" Bex said as she mischievously raised an eyebrow.
"Don't go there Bex. You should have seen what I caught him doing." I warned.
"What? Was he flirting with Autumn or something?" Liz spoke up, from Bex's left side.
I looked down; it was scary how good Liz's sixth sense was.
They all caught on quickly. "Want me to hurt her?" Bex offered.
"I knew that girl was trouble right went she walked in." Macey said, "There was just a vibe about her."
We all looked at Autumn who was deep in a conversation with Zack. I ignored the hopeless feeling I got in my gut and began to scarf down the food. I was in a sudden hurry to get out of the cafeteria.
Unfortunately, my mom's announcement had to do with us. We were forced to stay in the cafeteria until my mom introduces us and all that meet and greet stuff.
I zoned out, deep in thought. I didn't pay attention to anyone. I didn't even hear my name until Bex shook me. Hard, too. I snapped out of my thoughts. "Huh?"
"Your mom is calling your name." Liz hissed at me.
"Oh, um…" I awkwardly stood up and Bex kicked me, nodding discreetly (sort of) toward my mom. I wobbled to her, ignoring Zach's smirking.
I cleared my throat as I stuttered, "Um… hi. My name is Camm—Cameron Morgan and umm… I'm the headmistress's daughter and uh—"
I didn't know what else to say so I just observed the audience. Spy training could prepare you for a lot of things, but obviously, speeches weren't one of them.

Yes I guess most of you pretty much get the idea that Autumn and Zach will be a couple, but Zammie is end game.
And that's all folks!
