Just Spying To Know

Chapter One: Not A Welcoming Welcome

"I am OVER him!" I repeated for the possibly hundredth time to my occasionally frustrating best friends as we walked into the grand hall for breakfast. I took a side glance to the screen that instructed us to speak in Japanese.

Liz turned to me, "I can tell your lying Cammie," she paused and smiled pointing to herself, "Spy." She was once again attempting to get my mind on Zach.

Bex stopped and defended Liz, "It is one of the many things we learn at a school… for spies." I sighed and turned to Macey for help.

She put on a big smile, "She obviously isn't going to admit it any time soon," Macey told the girls. I thanked her silently. Then Macey couldn't stop there, "So we will have to force it out of her." I grunted and tried to drown them out.

I was once again reminded just how beautiful my school was. The rows of tables were lined up and were slowly filling with the girls of Gallagher Academy. I heard the constant chatter as I walked along the marble floors of the grand hall. The smell of coffee filled the air. I was soon pulled out of my daydream when my mother stepped up to the podium to give her annual welcome back speech.

"Women of the Gallagher Academy, who comes here?" My mother started.

Then every girl at every table (even the newbies) stood and said together, "We are the sisters of Gillian."

"Why do you come?"

"To learn her skills. Honor her sword. And keep her secrets."

"To what end do you work?" my mother inquired.

"To the cause of justice and light."

"How long will you strive?"

"For all of the days of our lives," we finished and took a seat.

Mother smiled and began her speech, "Welcome back ladies to another year at Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women," she gave a small smile at the crowd. (Very very exceptional if you ask me.) "I would like to welcome our newcomers," she turned her head toward the crowd of seventh graders who looked as if they were about to puke. (Which actually happened last year.)

"This year is going to be unusually difficult due to the challenges you will have to face in the future. The security system has been upgraded. For those who think they can sneak out, you may want to think twice," she paused and I felt more than a few eyes fall onto my head. I glanced down and flushed red, I quickly tried my best to look very interested in my cereal, pointing out to Bex that there were more clovers than usual in my Lucky Charms. (I am a spy you know.)

"Now let's welcome our teachers," she gave a wave toward the row of teachers sitting along side her. Professor Smith who was now a women (it was bound to happen someday) I would also like to point out he/she is not the most attractive thing in the room. And now I am curious as to how he/ she will use the bathroom, and which one? There is the issue of staying focused in COW while being lectured by something that looks so horrific.

Mr. Solomon was looking hot… as always, and was appearing bored… as always. The other teachers, well they were just teachers to us. They may be world class spies, but there wasn't much to them.

The moment my mother took a seat, Tina Walters stood and strutted toward us. "So Cammie," she leaned against the table, "What really happened between you and Zach?" Not this! Not now! Tina was ready for the details, but I would never be ready to spill.

"Tina, don't you have anything better to do?" Macey rolled her eyes at her. She ignored the glare she got from my roommate and continued interrogating me.

"I mean he did kiss you, we all saw that!" Tina practically shouted. I lowered my head once more. "There is some sort of back story. When you are ready to talk, I am ready to listen," Tina said in an untrustworthy way.

I started to talk to her, "When I am ready, you will be the first person I come to," I lied. Tina didn't fully pick up on this because she smiled and waltzed away. Finally, a little peace and…

Never mind!

The girls of the Gallagher Academy shot out of their seats. A crowd formed as everyone rushed toward the doors. With the wave of people running toward the huge closing exit, the only way out. I was able to grab my friends and we slid out of the grand hall and the doors slammed behind us trapping everyone else inside.

" Cammie, what do we do now?" Liz whispered as we walked along the hallway, the siren and lights flashed in our eyes and ears. The school had an eerie feeling to it as we walked through the main hallway.

"It's the Chameleon now, and I am not one-hundred percent sure, but lets start by looking for something," I answered taking a few steps.

Bex tapped me on the shoulder, "I think I found something," all four of us stared at the moving figures walking along the hall. Obliviously, the security wasn't as good as my mother thought.

"STOP!" Macey shouted. We all turned to her. Thanks for keeping quiet Macey, it's just great to be noticed! The figures broke into a sprint toward the tapestry, then they disappeared behind it.

"How did they know that was there?" asked Liz. "I didn't even know that was there." While the group continued to argue. I felt my face grow pale and realized the obvious, only two people knew about that passage.

"Me and Zach," I said aloud. They all turned.

"Zach? Cammie, now you choose to bring this up?" Bex said upset that we were discussing this now. "This is not the time!"

"Bex, one of them is Zach."
