Hey guys! I'm here with chapter five! (As you may well have noticed..) and I hope you like it! As always, ALL reviews are welcome and CC will be taken on board, so tell me what you think! :)

Diclaimer: If everyone hasn't realised by now, you never will, I am Ally Carter and I ow- wait no, I'm not. I am just a mere high school student, who is currently sat on the sofa wondering why the heck she's watching Bargin hunt. Unfortunately I own nothing. After admitting this, I now feel crushed. :(

ONWARDS MY FRIENDS! CHAPTER FIVE AWAITS!

Present time

I jumped over an abandoned log that lay next to me, almost tripping with the effort that it took to keep myself awake.

Zach caught me before I fell, and I smiled at him wearily.

"How," I yawned "Are you not tired?"

He gave a slight smirk.

"You're looking at the world's biggest insomniac."

He gave a half-hearted smile before placing me down so that my back could rest on the splintering log. He slid down next to me.

"Anyway, I don't have much to sleep for." He carried on.

I looked at him pointedly.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"There's not much to dream about. I can't ever escape Cammie. I can't ever escape who I am… Who I'm related to."

He said this so calmly, as if he given it so much thought. I suppose he had, so many nights lying awake, so many hours just thinking.

Torturing himself.

He looked into the distance, as if the couple of trees and scampering squirrel there would give him the answer.

I didn't know what to say, in the end I just blurted out "You mean you beat me in a fifteen mile run with no sleep?"

Great Cammie, just great. The guy's opening up to you and you say that.

Well at least I'm planning on becoming a spy, not a counsellor.

Zach laughed out loud though.

"Yeah, in all fairness though, you'd just been partnered with Bex in P&E, so that gave me a slight advantage… I'd have still beaten you anyway though."

I hit him feebly before yawning again. "Seriously though, I'm never this tired."

My eyelids started to droop. "Hey, can you smell smoke?"

Zach looked around. "Something's not right." "Cam, Cammie stay awake."

"Stay awake Gallagher girl."

He shook me and jolted me from my forthcoming slumber.

He sniffed in the air then gasped.

He pulled off his jacket then placed it over his mouth and nose. One hand holding his up, he tried to do the same with me.

"Cam," He whispered huskily. "Cammie, you can't breathe this stuff in. Its Cyclopropane, It'll send you to sleep."

"Cammie don't fall asleep!" He cried.

His figure slowly began to blur, the outline of his shape swirling, like waves in the ocean.

The last thing I saw - two shining emeralds gazing at me... and then it went black.

One and a bit weeks ago

"Here comes the sun!"

"Do do do do!"

"Here comes the sun!"

"And I say, It's alright!"

Bex and Liz were singing along to the Beatles, as dawn broke.

We were on a minibus, on the way to Blackthorne, and I just couldn't get Mr Solomon's words out of my head.

"No Gallagher Academy teachers will be going with you," "Don't trust anyone." "Anyone but Zach..."

I wondered why, out of all of the girls that were going on the exchange, he told me. Just like on the CoveOps file, he only mentioned me… and Zach.

"Cammie! You missed your Cue!" Liz cried.

I jumped. "Oh! Uh... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes!" I sang.

Bex pursed her lips. "Cam, we've already sung that part. What's up?"

"Nothing. Nothing's up."

I'm good at lying, I have to be – I'm a spy. But unfortunately spies are also trained to detect lies, and Rebecca Baxter can easily see through mine...

"Bull." She furrowed her eyebrows.

"It's not nothing Cammie, now spill."

Oh look at the time..

"Tina!" I cried, "I never noticed you were sitting there!"

(I did of course, I'm a spy, I knew where everyone was sitting, and every conversation that they've had on this journey, but she doesn't know that, and Tina doesn't see through me as easily as Bex.)

"Hi Cammie, are you excited?" she asked.

No. No was the answer to that. But if I said that she'd ask me why, and before I know it rumours would be going round the school, not about Mr Solomon eloping with my mom, but me eloping with Zach; and he is not someone I want to be associated with – even in a rumour.

( .Smirks.)

Macey pulled me back around, so I was facing three expectant faces.

One inquisitive (Liz), One half amused and half bored (Macey) and one whose eyebrows had shot up so high they'd almost been lost in her fringe. (Bex)

"Cammie, you're not getting away with this one. You may be the chameleon, but you can't hide from me."

That was quite witty, I decided and I proceeded to tell her so before she interrupted.

"Cam, stop changing the subject. What's up?"

I sighed.

I knew there was no use in resisting, over the summer Bex had learnt the art of 'tickle torture.'

Yes, it may sound funny, I thought so too. Until I ate her crème brulee…

Bad times…

I shuddered.

I then went on to tell her, Macey and Liz about my conversation with Mr Solomon, and my thoughts on the file.

"Hmm…" Macey mused. "What?" I asked.

"It seems to me, like Mr S is trying to set you and Zach up." She finished,

"What?!" I yelled, as Bex and Liz started laughing.

"Well think about it, he's trying his upmost to get you two together isn't he?" I glowered. "Exactly! You're a good spy, and he's obviously a good spy.. Or a Goode spy… Heheheh. Anyway, maybe he wants you to be like the next Bonnie and Clyde! Although, less… well.. Criminal and a spy?"

Somehow I doubted this, though currently it was the only theory I had to go on.

"Macey I really don't think th-"I started, but was cut off by Tina Walters.

"Guys! Guys we're here! She shouted.

I peered out the window.

Oh dear.

This 'school' radiated one message.

Welcome to hell.

Ah Blackthorne. Blackthorne, Blackthorne, Blackthorne. What is going to happen here? Who knows? I certainly don't, I haven't written it yet! Anyway,thanks for reading, and please review to tell me what you think!
