Zach POV
We had just finished the night drills and I was exhausted. I sat on my bunk above Jonas' while Nick was sleeping and Grant was drawing on his face. While Jonas was as per usual on his laptop.
"So who do you think they were?" Grant asked continuing our previous conversation on the girls we were tailing at the mall.
"You think they're like us?" I wondered.
"Probably, but where do you think they go? Do you think there covers like a school for troubled girls or something?"
"Well, the girl I was tailing said she goes to Gallagher. Where is that?"
"You know we can always search it up." Jonas piped up.
Jonas turned his laptop to show us the page he had opened on Google. I read down the page.
Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women
The school is a prestigious all-girls school discovered in 1865 by Gillian Gallagher.
That was all it said, they had to be like us. "Nice cover" I muttered.
Grant looked at the screen and then at Jonas.
"Come on man, that's not all your going to show us is it? Seriously? Did you even try?"
Jonas gave him a dirty look and opened another window. This one looked more like it could be the schools website but the information was the same. I guess we weren't going to learn much from the internet.
"If they were assassins, shouldn't they have been harder to tag though?" Grant asked me.
"Yeah, my girl told me exactly where she was going. Guess she couldn't resist this face. God knows what was wrong with your girl" I laughed.
"HEY!" Grant yelled and threw a pillow at me.
We were both throwing stuff at each other when one of the night guards started slamming on the door.
"GET YOUR ASSES TO SLEEP"
For trained assassins they really could've used some training in etiquette.
"Shit." I muttered and we all jumped into our beds. Soon enough we were asleep.
"GET THE HELL UP" Grant's face was right in front of mine. Ugh, none of us were really morning people. Except maybe Jonas but he wasn't one to fuss no matter what time of day it was.
"Get away from me" I muttered.
I found myself on the floor a few seconds later "ahh... hell."
I got up and changed into my uniform it was a pair of dress pants with a white dress shirt. We also had to wear ties that were blue and white stripes. Except when we were doing night drills, then we were forced to wear jumpsuits that were yellow. The other boys were ready too and we headed down to the dining hall. It wasn't very extraordinary. It looked like what you would imagine a high school cafeteria to look like from movies. We lined up on the left and got our breakfast. It was set up with four long tables and we sat at the one we've sat at since the first day of our first year. Everything had become routine.
Our headmaster Mr. Davis went up to the podium and stood there glaring at us for a few minutes. He tended to treat us as if we really were troubled boys rather than assassins or maybe it was the same thing.
"Good morning students. This school has a cover; a cover that everyone outside these walls believes is true. Our cover prevents people from entering this school. It scares them away a lot of the time. But today is different because after years of allowing almost no one in this school. Today marks a new beginning. A beginning that I hope will help us make new connections, connections that'll last a lifetime…"
He droned on for a while. I tuned out and was about to ask Jonas for his muffin when something Mr. Davis said caught my attention.
"Today we will be inviting a few students from another school. A school that in many ways is similar to ours…"
A school… Like a girls school?
"I would like to welcome these young ladies from Gallagher Academy to our school for the rest of the year; I trust you all will treat them with the utmost respect."
No fricken' way.
I watched the doors to the dining room open then and in walked Dr. Steve followed by ten girls and one of them was the girl from the mall. Gallagher Girl or Cammie. She looked pretty with her light brown hair and her eyes that looked a twinkling green. I couldn't help it, I smirked.
The boys beside me had reactions similar to mine that went from utter disbelief to a false composure. We did go to a school for assassins we were good at pretending everything was fine even if nothing was.
Dr. Steve took the microphone from Mr. Davis and beamed at us.
"Students, Isn't this just the most wonderful surprise? These young ladies are exceptional indeed and I'll just let them introduce themselves…"
Rebecca Baxter
"Hello, call me Bex. Or else."
Everyone at our table was muttering about how she was a Baxter except Grant who muttered "She's a British Bombshell" under his breath. I guess she was hot with her dark hair, cappuccino skin and caramel- coloured eyes but she was also really threatening. It wasn't just what she said it was her composure that made all the guys automatically stop wolf-whistling at her. I saw Cammie laugh with two of the other girls.
Macey McHenry
"Hey guys, how's it going?"
This girl was known to all the boys too seeing as how she was the daughter of Senator McHenry. The boys went crazy with their wolf-whistling but who could blame them. She had black hair and bright blue eyes, she was unmistakably beautiful. She also appeared less nervous than the other girls. She probably spent more time with boys.
Elizabeth Sutton
"Uhm…hello. Call me Liz."
This girl didn't get as many wolf-whistles but you could tell she was shy and smart. She had a bit of a southern accent and blonde hair. She was cute in a pixy kind of way and I could tell Jonas thought so judging from his fidgeting.
Cameron Morgan
Before she could say anything there were boys muttering everywhere you could hear bits of conversations and I saw her flush a bit.
"That's that Chameleon girl right?"
"Isn't she the chick that dated the normal kid?"
"I thought she was taken in by the CIA"
Finally Mr. Davis cleared his throat and everyone looked at the girl I'd only known of as Cammie or Gallagher Girl until then expectantly.
"yeah." She muttered.
That was all she said answering all the whispered questions and then Dr. Steve and Mr. Davis had to work to get everyone to quiet while she went towards her friends Liz, Bex and Macey and tried to be the chameleon she was and blend in. I could see how it was easy for her to blend in normally. She was really pretty but it was in a subtle way it wasn't like Macey. It was like a secret.
I didn't notice the other girls being introduced. There was this one girl named Hannah, I think, that was looking right at me while she went on and on about herself so I smiled at her. I was too busy thinking about Cammie.
I'd heard so many rumors about a spy dating someone and bringing him into her business and we knew her name but we just assumed since her mother was a famous agent that she was trained by her parents. I never thought she went to a school like ours I wonder how she even went to see this guy. Or how he got involved with her 'business' was it a mission?
Morning classes were cancelled and we were all sent back to our classes probably because the girls had to settle in. As I was walking by the girls I heard them whisper and only caught parts of what they were saying. Nothing stuck out except Cammie's distinct voice saying
"It was him" she sounded upset so I assumed she was talking about how I successfully tailed her.
Then I heard another girl who I thought was Macey say "you weren't lying. He is really hot."
I smirked.
