I'm in a really happy mood right now so i'll give you more :) Did you know they made Twix ice cream? It's DELICIOUS!
You know what also makes me happy? Finding an excerpt of the first few pages of Only the Good Spy Young in the back of my GG3 book! :D That almost made up for the fact I'm not going to be in the US when it comes out... in 18 days. :D
Here's an insight into the minds of our two favorite characters? (well mine at least.)
Disclaimer: I don't own the Gallagher Girls series
CAMMIE
The Welcome Back Dinner was in session. Rachel Morgan was giving the Headmistress speech Cammie was ever so familiar with.
Cammie was not surprised when 30 Blackthorn Boys entered the Grand Hall. She was the CoveOps teacher. It would be embarrassing not knowing something like this. She wasn't even surprised to see the Headmaster Zach Goode leading them.
Of course Cammie Morgan would have fled the school when she realized she'd have to see Zach Goode again. But she was Miranda Kaufman.
Miranda Kaufman learned everything there was to know about the Blackthorn Boys. From each of their names, to their likes and dislikes, to who their parents were and where they worked. Miranda Kaufman was prepared.
Cammie Morgan was nearly in tears when she found out Zach Goode was married. Miranda Kaufman expected it and found out everything to know about this woman too. She was his mission partner, and they fell in love. Her name was Chloe Goode, and they had a son. Andrew Goode.
Andrew Goode was a sophomore at the exchange and stood proudly next to his father…smirking. Cammie knew she would have to keep an eye on him.
Cammie took in every detail around her. She had to - being a spy, and this was spy school. The boys were subtly looking into reflective surfaces, checking out the girls. The girls were doing the same, and trying to make themselves look presentable, giggling and whispering excitedly amongst each other.
Cammie tried to hide her disgust, but settled with a frown. They would only get hurt. Boys were nothing but trouble. Cammie had tried to prevent the exchange, but her mother paid no attention to her complaints. The only girl who didn't seem shocked or giggly was her daughter Angel.
Angel looked calm and sat there quietly eating her food. Cammie rose an eyebrow at her daughter with a look that said you knew? Lina answered with a smirk. Of course I knew the smirk said. Cammie rolled her eyes at her daughter feeling quite proud.
"I hope you boys will feel welcome here," Rachel Morgan was still talking. Cammie snorted softly. She would make class hell for them. Rachel seemed to know what she was thinking. "You will be taking classes with the girls. Our teachers here are very intense, but I hope they won't make it too hard." She looked pointedly at Cammie. Cammie shrugged.
The whole Hall saw the exchange between them and stared. Cammie could see Zach's curious stare and the slightly frightened ones of the students, both boys and girls. She decided to make an impact. She stood up and faced the crowd.
"Prepare yourself." she told them, and left the Hall without even touching her dinner. Cammie wasn't hungry anyways. Feeling the stares of the many students and faculty, she closed the doors behind me and went to my suite.
Cammie's suite was in a secret room in another secret passageway. No one except Cammie, her mother and her daughter know where she stayed. Crazy rumors circle around her, where she stayed, and her past. Cammie preferred it that way.
ZACH
Zach loved being the Headmaster of the Blackthorn Institute for Boys. He was able to serve his country by bringing up the best spies in the nation who would protect national secrets and take out terrorist threats, and stay close to his family.
Zach retired from the CIA as soon as he knew Chloe was pregnant. Never, Zach vowed, would he leave his son without one, or god forbid, both of his parents. Zach knew firsthand the pain of losing his parents, who went MIA on a mission.
Making Zach agree to the Blackthorn and Gallagher exchange took a lot of energy of Rachel Morgan's part. Rachel seemed a little desperate for the girls to have interaction with males their age in Zach's opinion.
Zach himself had no wish to return to Gallagher, where old memories of … Cammie would be brought up. He winced. Every time he thought of Cammie Zach seemed to drown in guilt. It wasn't his fault the Director made him become a double agent. It wasn't his fault Cammie fell in love with him and had to get hurt, hurt in more ways than one.
Witnessing and regretfully taking part in … what happened was something he would never forgive himself for. At least he saved her life; at least he was able to get her out of there before blowing up the CoC headquarters.
But in the end, Zach agreed to the exchange. A bunch of hormonal teenage boys needed to interact with the other sex if they were to ever learn how to control themselves and behave properly.
Zach entered the Grand Hall. It looked the same as before, but with all new faces sitting at the student tables. Where the teachers sat at the front, Zach noticed all the teachers who taught before were still there, with the exception of Joe Solomon.
After Cammie Morgan had been rescued, and then mysteriously disappeared again. Joe Solomon couldn't take it, his best friend's daughter was like his own. Joe Solomon left Gallagher, where there were too many memories of Cammie, and started teaching at Blackthorn.
Replacing him was Miranda Kaufman. Zach studied this woman. She had stunning green eyes and long chocolate colored brown hair. Nothing like Cammie's dirty blond hair and sapphire blue eyes.
Zach mentally cursed himself. He wasn't supposed to compare every woman he met to Cammie. He was married for goodness sakes!
But even so, Zach couldn't help but notice how this Miranda woman was 5 inches taller than Cammie, and seemed to stick out like a sore thumb. Completely unlike Cammie's skill as a pavement artist.
Zach was curious about this woman. For a woman who stuck out, Miranda Kaufman had a hazy past. Even with his Level 23 clearance, Zach couldn't find any information on Miranda Kaufman.
She appeared out of nowhere about 15 years ago, claiming to have been Intelligence from a small European country. Her parents were classified along with any records. It seemed like a miracle the CIA had given her as much clearance that she had- Level 20.
The only information Zach could find of this mysterious woman was that she had a daughter at Gallagher named Angelina, and that she despised men.
Zach was almost bursting inside from wanting to know what happened to make Miranda Kaufman hate his gender so much. But Zach's a spy, so he planned to observe her and find out.
Zach took note of the look of disgust on her face when they walked in, her conversation with her daughter and the headmistress, all the way to when she strutted to the door.
He was frustrated. There wasn't much to get out of this first impression of Miranda Kaufman, except she was a dangerous spy. One not to be messed with.
So of course, Zach had to mess with her.
This chapter doesn't have much action either.. the next one should be more interesting though ;) Review! You know you want to.
p.s. I can't help but blabber more about GG4. Did you see the trailer on Ally's blog? I think Disney Hyperion did a good job with it. :D
