A/N: Sorry for taking so long, this chapter is finally updated to fit a better storyline. Most of the changes are minor and don't interfere with the plotline so far, but will make everything more clear and fit into my current plan. Chapter Four has been posted and chapter five is currently in the works. Please review and I sincerely apologize for making everyone wait so long.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from the original Ally Carter series (I wish I was that awesome though).
Chapter 3: Confrontation
Cammie's PoV
Grant led us outside of the school for a tour of the grounds. I finally realized that parts of Tina Walter's suspicions were confirmed: Blackthorne was in Maine. The boys led us all through a small wooded grove to a private beach.
"Wow," was all I could say. It was breathtaking, but according to Jason, you don't want to go swimming.
"This is amazing," Bex added, "all of you get to see this everyday."
Zach still wouldn't talk to me. I hoped that letting David flirt a little would get him to notice me. Maybe it would even make him jealous. We took a walk along the beach, and David had spent some time flirting and complementing. Finally, he put his arm around my waist. It had felt weird there, not like how Josh's had felt. I looked over at Zach, and I could see him turning red.
"Leave Cammie alone!" he said to David, obviously very angry.
"She doesn't seem to mind, and why do you care?" David snapped back. This was not completely true, I did mind… a lot. What Zach did next scared me. I may be a spy, but seeing someone you cared about getting that angry was unnerving. All of us girls ran back towards the school.
"Wait, Cammie, don't go!" Zach yelled.
"Why should I? It's not like I asked you to kiss me, leave me alone, and then avoid me when you see me again." I replied, and then ran to avoid him.

"You could always go apologize and forgive him, you know," Bex stated.
"You didn't exactly look happy to see him there when you walked in, maybe he thought it would be better to wait until you cooled down to talk to you," Macey added.
I hadn't thought of that. I had let my anger at him boil over and take control. I had been cold, when all he wanted to do was take care of me. I had only wanted him to be Zach, to come up and say "Hey, Gallagher Girl," and to watch him smirk and smile that cocky smile of his. They were right. I liked Zach, and I needed to forgive him and apologize for my actions.

Zach's PoV
Why did she let David walk all over her? When I saw her walk in this morning, she looked at me as if I was a vision out of her worst nightmare. Then she knocked on my door.
"Hey Zach, it's Cammie. I'm sorry about earlier. Can we talk?" I heard her say.
I don't know why I'm doing this, but I said, "Sure, come on in," and unlocked my door.

Cammie's PoV
I was surprised to that Zach had even let me in his room (not that I was supposed to be in there, according to the rules).
"I'm sorry for trying to make you jealous. I shouldn't have been so shallow. And about those things, I said to you earlier, I didn't mean any of them. I was just angry because I felt like you were avoiding me," I started.
"I apologize for not giving you a proper welcome. It's good to see you here Cammie. I was really hoping when they told us about this that you would show up. I should have given you the attention you deserve," Zach replied sweetly.
"Can we forgive and forget?" I asked.
"We can do more than that, Gallagher Girl," he replied. What he did next surprised me despite my spy instincts. He pulled me towards him and kissed me, and I couldn't help but kiss him back.
A/N: Like it? I added some things, mostly about the location of Blackthorne that will make more sense later. Please review!
