Chapter 6 – Last straw

I dedicate this chapter to 3 people, two of my friends… you guys are so awesome! And Daniel Morecombe, may you rest in peace. If any of you don't know who that is please ask, his story needs to be heard.

Cammie's POV

I walked around the school grounds, skipping the end of P&E. I let the tears I had been holding in slowly fall down my cheeks. I hated that I was still here, so I started to plan in my head where I would go when I actually got out of here. But those thoughts were interrupted by the bell. I only had one class left today and that was Covert Operations with Mr Solomon. It was going to be interesting.

I walked back through the academy doors and towards the subs. There was a note on the mirror.

Meet me in the foyer in 7 minutes. Dress casually. Anyone late will be left behind

S

I pulled the note down and put in my mouth so it evaporated before anyone else read it. I ran upstairs to my dorm and got changed. By the time I had walked down stairs everyone was already in class so I avoided strange looks because of my attire. I got there with 3 seconds to spare. No one was there except for Mr Solomon, point Cammie.

"You wouldn't happen to know why the others aren't here would you Miss Morgan?" He asked incredulously, one eyebrow rose.

"No sir, no idea" I replied in my most innocent tone. He eyed me up and down but didn't say anything. We stood there in an awkward silence until I heard a commotion behind me. I turned to see the whole cove ops class looking at me and Mr Solomon with confused expressions on their faces, which is not a good thing for a spy.

"Glad you could finally join us" Mr Solomon said.

"What do you mean sir?" Tina asked.

"You were meant to be dressed for the mission and here 1 minute ago. It was all in the note."

"What note sir?" Eva said they were all glaring at me. They had finally figured it out. Mr Solomon followed their line of sight.

"I thought you didn't know why they weren't here Cammie?"

"Guess I lied, oh well. They are spies, they should have been able to figure it out" I replied cheekily. Joe rolled his eyes and looked at others.

"Go get ready, be back here in 3 minutes. Dress casually." They disappeared in the blink of an eye.

-Time Skip-

"Your task is simple, don't lose the Blackthorne boys" Mr Solomon said. We were standing in the middle of one of the world's biggest shopping centres. "The uniforms have trackers, so don't try anything, now off you go" he looked directly at me when he said that. I just rolled my eyes, like a simple tracker could stop me if I really wanted to disappear.

I started to walk away and I 'accidentally' tripped and bumped into Mr S. "Sorry sir!" I exclaimed before forcing a blush and quickly walking away. OMFG! I just swiped Mr Solomon's credit card and he didn't even notice, time to have some fun.

I totally blew off the mission; I didn't even try to tail Zach (my partner). I knew if I didn't I would get in trouble, and hopefully banned from going to Roseville this Saturday. So instead I shopped and purposely arrived back to the meeting point 45 minutes late with 20 designer bags and one subway sub in tow.

"Where have you been!" Bex exclaimed once I came into view.

"What does it look like? I was shopping. Duh" I rolled my eyes at her statement.

"Why didn't you complete the mission?" Mr Solomon asked, obviously annoyed at how much I was late by.

"Couldn't really be bothered" I shrugged.

"Was I too good for you Gallagher girl?" Zach smirked.

"Do I need to remind you of what happened in P&E today Zachary?" shut down "no didn't think so. Anyway I felt like I needed a break"

"In the field you don't get breaks, Miss Morgan" Mr Solomon said.

"If I do recall I was taking a very nice two month break in Australia before you caught up to me" I smirked. I noticed Bex staring at my bags.

"Before you ask, yes that is a Prada bag" I smiled.

"How did you manage to pay for all of this Cameron?" Mr Solomon asked.

"With your credit card sir"

"How did you get that?"

"As you may or may not remember, we bumped into each other before the mission. By the way I maxed it out…. Wait no it has $177.33 left on it. Well damn!" I couldn't believe this!

"What?" everyone said at the exact same time. It was quite funny actually.

"I could have bought another dress with that!" all the boys groaned while the girls understood how I was feeling.

"You will be returning all this" Mr Solomon said in a cocky tone, too bad I already thought of that.

"See that's the tragedy sir, I accidentally lost them sir"

"Lost?" he said, it was pretty hard for a spy to lose something. We started to board the helicopter. We buckled up as the engine started and we began to ascend.

"Well more specifically burned. What a shame hey? Any who, thanks for the generosity Joseph!" I flicked the card back at him. He caught it and had a furious look on his face. I ignored it and started to look through my bags.

"What did you buy anyway Cam?" Courtney asked. I was waiting for this question.

"Well, I bought, drum roll please. 9 pairs of Jimmy Choos, 6 dresses, Clinique, accessories from numerous designers, 3 Prada handbags and one foot-long chicken schnitzel subway sub for the road"

"Holy Crap!" all the girls gasped but the boys just looked confused, they probably didn't grasp the significance of all the brands I just said.

"Why did you buy all that?" Courtney exclaimed.

"Forget that! How much did it cost?" Eva followed.

"Well all up it cost $10 322.67 and I bought it because it was fun! But you guys are right, I'm a spy I don't need pretty things. It's time I let go" I opened the door of the helicopter, grabbed all of the bags and threw them out into the sky. I pretended to dust off my hands.

"No!" everyone screamed, including the boys finally grasping the gravity of the situation. I pulled out my sub and bit into it. I continued to eat while the girls freaked out about what I had just done and the boys (mainly Grant) complained of their hunger.

"Grant do you want the rest of this?" I asked. Gesturing towards the sandwich.

"Yes please!"

"No? okay" I threw the ruminants of the sandwich out the door before shutting it.

"What the hell Cam? I said I wanted that!" he complained like a five year old.

"You can always jump after it" I said. Bex growled at that comment, I just shut my eyes and tried to get some sleep. It was hard because everyone was grumbling.

"Excuse me I'm trying to sleep here!" I yelled they all stared at me. I think that was the last straw for Joe.

"That's it, Miss Morgan you are banned from the Roseville trip on Saturday!" he yelled.

"What the fuck! You have officially snapped your cap! I think I better give you this now."

I reached into my back pocket and pulled out the mental institute application form. I handed it too him, his face went read when he read it.

"It's okay to ask for help Joe, we are all here for you" I said sympathetically.

"Banned, for good!"

"OH FML!" I screeched. I was banned, I could escape then. Mission accomplished. It wasn't tomorrow but it was better then nothing.
