Blackthorn and Gallagher

Chapter 1
Cammie’s POV (point of view)

No one knows how I am so good at what I do. They always ask if its genetics or if I was just that good. My name is Cameron Anne Morgan, but you should just call me Cammie. I go to a school in Roseville, Virginia called The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. People think it’s just a snobby boarding school for heiresses, but that’s just its cover. It really is an all girls school... for spies.

My friends at the Gallagher Academy are; Elizabeth Sutton, Liz (smartest girl) codename: bookworm. Rebecca Baxter, Bex (first non-American girl at this school) codename: Duchess. Macey Mchenry, (senator’s daughter) codename: Peacock. My mom is Rachel Morgan, she is the headmistress at my school, and my dad went MIA (missing) when I was little. I am a pavement artist; I like to blend in with the crowd and go unnoticed, but not hide. My codename is Chameleon. So far I’m the number one spy in the world, even better than the head of the CIA and my family. Mr. Solomon is my godfather and my Cov ops teacher. He was like my replacement father when my dad was gone, but he would still teach me like any other student.

Last year we got a visit from a all boys spy school for our finals during second semester. I met a guy named Zachary Goode, but we just call him Zach. Apparently he is the second best spy in the world. Ha, he got beet by a girl. During the exchange, he seemed like the only one to notice me, and I like to hide in the shadows, I’m the chameleon. He was good(e). Before he left to go back to his school he dipped me in the middle of the foyer and pressed his lips against mine, in front of everyone. Like I said I’m supposed to be the chameleon and not be seen. After that he smirked his smirk I’ve come to know. (smirking is like his signature, I mean it he just wont stop smirking)

This year, I found out we are going to have another exchange and we are going to go to their school. After passing my mom’s office to go to my dorm. The fun thing is they don’t know about it, this is going to be a fun surprise. Plus my roommates are going to be happy when I tell them the news. I barged into my dorm, literally jumping up and down in excitement.

“ Why in the bloody world are you so happy?”, Bex asked with her accent showing.
“She is probably happy because she found out something awesome.” Macey spoke while filing her nails.
“Thanks for stating the obvious Macey, anyways, Cam spill now!” Bex was yelling right when Tina, our school rumor spreader, was passing our room.
“What’s so interesting that Cammie found?” Tina asked with wide eyes.
“ OK, OK! We …. Are… “ I was dragging the sentence when I got cut off.
“ WILL YOU GET TO THE POINT!” Every one yelled in unison.
“ Fine! We’re going to Blackthorn!” I yelled and every one started jumping up and down screaming.
Tina shot out of the room and went to tell the entire school before dinner.
“ Yay, I get to see Grant!” screamed Bex
“I’ll get to see Jonas!” Liz said with her southern accent.
“And guess who gets to see a certain Blackthorn boy ?” Macey said with a smug look.
“Hey I never said I liked him “, they stopped cheering and stared at me, “ ok, ok I guess I do like him.” I whispered.

We went down to the dinning hall to eat dinner. My mom went up to the podium and started to speak. “Ladies welcome back to the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. Last year we got a visit from another spy school, and this year we will be going to their school for an entire year.”
You could hear the clashing of cutlery on plates and the sudden silence of sound.

“ I will now announce who will be going,” after my mom said that I tuned every thing out until I will hear my roommates and my name called. “ … Rebecca Baxter, Elizabeth Sutton, Macey McHenry, and Cameron Morgan will all be going to Blackthorn. You will all be leaving at 0730 hundred hours.” That is in the morning, my self conscious screamed.

After dinner Macey rushed us towards our room, because we had to pack our clothes and necessities. Plus Macey has to examine every thing we will be bringing. She tossed us some clothes to wear tomorrow. Liz and I both had one suitcase, Bex had two, and Macey well being Macey, she had three. I plopped down on my bed tired and exhausted. But I was happy, like my roommates, because we get to see some, how should I put this, certain people. I got up off my bed and took a shower before every one else, after that I laid down on my bed and fell asleep. My internal clock told me it was 10:16 pm.

“ Cammie! Wake up before I turn you into a pretzel!" Bex threatened me in Farsi.
I immediately got up and out of my bed , my internal clock telling me it was 4:35 in the MOURNING!

“Why the heck did you wake me up in the bloody freakin mourning! Are you trying to piss me of!” I yelled, man Bex is rubbing off on me.

“Because we are going to make you look hot on our visit to Blackthorn, don’t worry hon we are doing it to Liz too.” Bex sweetly informed me.

Macey and Bex made me take a cold shower. After I finished, Macey threw some clothes and I put them on. It was a green halter top and a jean skirt that went two inches above my knees.After we all finished getting dressed, we went down stairs to eat breakfast.

“Are you guys excited or what!” Liz squealed in a high, jumpy voice.

“Of coarse Lizzy, what do you think?” asked Bex without her British accent.

I opened the double doors to the dinning hall and sat down at our table.
As our food was served, Bex got big eyed and started shoving her food in her mouth.

“Slow down Bex, you are a girl not a pig.” Macey said with disgust.

Bex stared daggers at Macey and said “Well sorry miss 'I only eat eight hundred calories'. Plus the quicker we eat the quicker we get to Blackthorn.”

A smirked formed on my face after Bex said that. Great Zach is really getting to me with his dumb smirk of his. He’s even getting me to do it. No, no, no, no, no stop thinking about him. After we finished breakfast, we hurried out the doors and onto the front yard with 1 minute to spare.

“Tina, we will not be taking the Gallagher van or limos. We will be taking…” Mr. Solomon said as he got cut of by the sound of a helicopter.

“We’re taking a helicopter!” Tina screamed over the noise.

Mr. Solomon made us put on blindfolds after we got seated in the helicopter, because the headmaster of Blackthorn (a.k.a Dr. Steve) doesn’t want us to know where it is. After 1 hour (1 hour, 23 minutes, and 57 seconds to be exact) being in the helicopter, Bex fell sound asleep on my shoulder. Man she can sleep anywhere, how can you sleep on a roaring vehicle!?!?

We have been in the helicopter for 3hrs, 45mins, and 24secs when Mr. Solomon (finally!) told us to take off our blindfolds. Their school looked very similar to ours.

“Excellent, welcome to Blackthorn ladies, here are your dorm numbers. Since the boys don’t know you’re here try not to roam around while the boys are having classes.” Every one nodded their heads after Dr. Steve finished, and he started to walk away when I heard him say “Excellent”. That must be his signature word or something. After he left, we split upped and went to our dorms.

“Since you have that exploring face of yours on, let me guess you’re going to search for some secret passage ways?” Bex guessed. Its like she reads my mind or something

“What do you think Bex, of coarse I will I mean you know how much I like to do those things. Plus if I find some that lead to ‘certain’ places I think you might be quite happy about it.”

“Ohhhhh” Bex said as she finally figured it out.
I opened the door to our dorm at rushed to a bed that I want before any one else could take it. Then rushed to pick out a closet and dresser. After we unpacked everything, which took 2 hrs 37 min and 11 sec, we just laid down on our beds and stared up to the ceiling. Until I finally broke the silence.

“Hey, I’m going to search for some secret passage ways, any one want to come with?” I asked with a bored tone.

“I’ll come.” Said bred Bex.
We started walking out the door and into the hallway when I could see the dust rolling across the floor and into a crack behind a painting, that the naked eye could not have seen. I get closer to the picture, Bex following closely behind me. I slowly…

“ Will you just move the bloody picture already!” she whispered yelled.

“ Fine!” I whispered yelled back.

As I move the picture away from the wall it reveals a passage way. It looked like it hasn’t been used in centuries, its filled with cobwebs and dust.

“Lets explore it and see where it goes.” Bex said excitedly.
We go into the tunnel, following its winding hall. I stop suddenly, causing Bex to collide with my back, I hear a noise. It sounds like boys talking but which ones.

“ Hey do you hear that? It sounds like some of the boys but which boys” Bex talked as if she read my mind.

“Well, lets go find out.”

“ Well I hope its our boys”

I find it funny how Bex said that. We press our ears against the walls and start to eavesdrop. We could hear the bickering that they were doing. They probably think they alone but guess again.

“How many Amps did you have, like 20 or something!” Boy 1 yelled, funny he kind of sounded like…OMG! It is him

“Nooo, I had 12! My own personal record.”Boy 2 yelled back.

“I wonder what your British bombshell will think if she saw you like that.” Boy 3 talked and it sounded like he was also typing. I could see Bex blushing a little. If that was Jonas then the other boys must be Grant and Zach.

“Shut up Jonas! Zach you really need to quit smirking or I’ll punch it off!” Grant threatened

“Can’t it runs in the family, plus it annoys Cammie.” Zach replied cockily.

Bex couldn’t stop laughing and my cheeks were turning pink. The guys kept arguing and Bex and I came up with a plan. We were going to find a way into their room and attack them, with the lights off of coarse. After we defeat them and blind fold them, we will only bring Grant and Zach into the passage way and leave Jonas in the room. Bex and will then make them sit against the wall and just say hi. I know all that work to just say hi, but we wanted to have some fun. We will call it mission hello. Mission Hello is now in action.
