Blackthorne vs. Gallagher (Gallagher Girls Fanfic)

Chapter 7

Name. Grade. Code Name. CovOps or R&D track.

That's how every girl introduced themselves. And unsurprisingly, every girl looked at the crowd of boys, mentally choosing one and bagsing it for themselves. And the boys? They were eating it up like candy, but that's no surprise.

There were 12 girls, 8 on the CovOps track and 4 on the R&D track. But when 12 girls were lined up on the stage next to Ms Morgan, that means that there were 4 left; and we all knew that this would be the Chameleon's group. We all moved to the edge of our seats, ready to get some answers but before we could blink, the lights were cut out.

Sounds of struggle were heard as a wire encasing our hands to our seats. Damn it, but these girls are strong and smart, and I kinda hate them for it.

As the lights were turned on again, I looked around. Girls trapped every Blackthorne student. Girls. How? I look towards the stage. The 12 girls already introduced did not help. There was no way that they could remain in the same position in 3.51 seconds to tie everyone's hands. But that means, 4 girls did this?

A voice cut through the silence. "It's unfortunate that your own seats imprisoned you. After a few modifications of course."

As if this was a dramatic reality show, a spotlight suddenly shone in the back of the room compelling us to look towards her.

"Macey McHenry, sophomore, Peacock, CovOps; and yes, I am the senator's daughter."

"Well Macey, we have to thank Liz too," a British voice bringing our attention back to the stage where she was entering alongside another girl.

"Rebecca Baxter. Call me that and lose a hand, or your head. Literally. I'm Bex aka. Duchess, a sophomore and CovOps track."

The girl standing beside her stuttered out her introduction, "My name is uh, Elizabeth or uh Liz Sutton, and um, I'm a sophomore, and uh my code name is Bookworm and I'm on the R&D track."

Looking across at Jonas, I knew what I expected. His face would reflect mine with the Chameleon and Grant's face when looking at Bex. His face said it all. That boy had a crush on her and she must have been the girl who secured their files, meaning that she was Jonas' idol. I couldn't punch him like Grant though, I have to go a bit easy on him, he's on the R&D track after all.

"Cammie, time to come out," Bex hollers, pulling me back to reality.

By the kitchen, a screeching noise pierced the room and a spray of dust scattered across the room. After the dust cloud clears, the beautiful girl from the roof is revealed in a secret passageway that she discovered within 10 minutes of being at Blackthorne. Although she was covered in a flurry of dust mites, her golden brown hair glowed and her hazel eyes glimmered in the light. Wow, she's beautiful. But not in a cliché way, she has a subtle beauty which burns bright. Damn it, Zach stop daydreaming. Closing the passageway, she presents herself.

"Cameron or Cammie Morgan. Sophomore. The Chameleon."

Cammie, that's the Chameleon's name finally. Damn. This girl is good. Wait, Morgan? She's the headmaster's daughter? And Mr Solomon said that she knew all the ins and outs of the place and her mother – the HEADMISTRESS – didn't even know she left school? This girl is good.

"If you are wondering how to get out of those cuffs," she quips walking onto the stage, "you'll have to figure them out yourself." She took a remote out of her pocket and smashed it into billions of pieces without any effort whatsoever. "Mr Solomon did something similar to us and the fastest time was 1.38 seconds so you failed spectacularly, I mean, it has been what? 3 minutes 14 seconds?"

We look at Mr Solomon pleading with our eyes. He looks at Cammie with a glimmer of humour in his eye and looks back towards us. "Sorry boys, you're going to have to find a way out of those yourself."

"At least grant us this," I mention involuntarily. Well, I can't back out now. "Explain to us what happened on the roof."

"As I said before, you'll find out soon enough," Cammie answers, as she sits at a spare table with her friends and awaits breakfast.
