You would think that it wouldn't take a lot to surprise me anymore, since I go to an all-girl boarding school for spies, have been the target of an ancient terrorist organization and been almost-kidnapped by said group twice, became a teenage amnesiac after I ran away for the summer and was actually kidnapped and tortured by said terrorist group, and then discovered the key to bringing down the group. But when my mother called me and my roommates into her office on the last day of school before winter break, I was expecting her to tell us that I was going to some top secret CIA safe house while she goes and hunts the Circle leaders while my best friends would go back home to their families like they normally do over Christmas break. I was wrong.

"Hey kiddo, Bex, Macey, Liz," my mom/ Headmistress of the Gallagher Academy for Exception Young Women/top CIA operative said as we plopped down onto the big leather couch in her office, " I just wanted to talk to you about Winter Break."

"Ms. Morgan, I was wondering if you've heard from my parents. I saw them walking into your office the other day, but I didn't get to talk to them because, well, you know," Bex said, her caramel covered eyes looking up at my mom expectedly, referring to the fact that various CIA and MI6 operatives have been coming and going into my mothers' office in the past few days since I remembered the list of the families that lead the Circle Of Cavan.

"Well, that is actually one of the things I wanted to talk to you about. I'm sorry Bex, but your parents are currently on a mission right now. They won't be able to take you anywhere for break, and before you ask, no you are not allowed to go with them," my mom said as Bex was just starting to smile. "But, after talking with your parents, we have decided that all of you need a break after everything that has happened this semester. So Abby, Joe, and I are taking you four to Miami for winter break. And considering Zach has been surrounded by all girls for months, we are letting him bring some of his friends from Blackthorne- Jonas, Grant, and Nick. We really want you all just to relax and move past everything that has happened with the Circle. I know that not being included in any of the conversations with the CIA has been really hard on you the past few days, but you really need to move forward. This is what the CIA deals with, and you need to let us do our jobs."

Now, for normal teenagers, being told that you get to go on vacation to Miami with your best friends and four (very cute!) boys would be amazing news, but for us, it was shocking. And Strange. I do, however, want to say that it wasn't that I wasn't excited, because I was, I just didn't know how to go on vacation and relax. And by looking at the anxious expression on Liz's face, I knew I wasn't the only one.

Although, as Bex said, "This is going to be bloody awesome!" I figured she didn't feel the same way as Liz and I did.

And Macey-well Macey just seemed relieved not to have to go spend a few weeks with her family. Even though she kept her cover well, being the spoiled daughter of Senator McHenry got old after a while.

"One of our generous alumni lent us her beach house to stay in while we are there, and we have already made the necessary security precautions just to be on the safe side. A limo will be picking Abby and you girls up in a few hours to take you to the airport so be ready and packed by 3:00. I have some things to take care of here before we leave, so I'll meet you at the airport, as will Zach, Joe, and the other boys" My mother said. Since she had already started to work on her paperwork, we took that as our cue to leave. I told the girls that I would meet them back at our room, and took a detour towards the teachers' suites.

When my mom said that Zach would be meeting us at the airport, I wondered if he was already gone so I stopped by his room. It was empty, and I was surprised to see that he had left without saying anything to me. We hadn't discussed our winter break plans yet, but we had been planning to have lunch together today. I guess that wasn't going to happen. I thought about Zach and how happy he must be to be reuniting with his friends as I walked past the common rooms filled with girls trying to finish last minute packing or relaxing after exams. I just hoped that he wouldn't spend all his time with his friends so we wouldn't get to miss out on our first real vacation together (which is a big step!) This also made me a little nervous though, because as long as Zach and I have known each other (almost two years!), we have only been together for a few months, all of which have been at school. We haven't had much alone time or done what normal couples do. Our dates usually consist of studying or working on P&E –which is a lot more fun when he takes his shirt off, hello six pack- so this will be different for us. I'm excited about the alone time (hopefully most of which will be spent making out!) I thought about this more until I walked through the door of my suite and saw clothes. Everywhere.

The first thing I noticed was that my suitcase was already open, on my bed, and half full. I didn't even want to bother arguing with the dresses and bikinis and other things that Macey had already put in there.

"Look Cam, this is a vacation in Miami so you need to step out of your comfort zone and try some new looks! I promise Zach will loooooove it!" Macey said as she continued going putting very little of my stuff and a lot of her stuff it my suitcase.

I knew that this was going to be a long few hours of packing so I let Macey, Bex, and Liz do it, knowing that it would be much easier in the long run. As I sat back on my bed and watched the chaos around me, I couldn't help but think that this was going to be a very interesting winter break.
