Cammie's pov

My favorite part of term was the welcome feast. It always reminds me of the sorting feast in the Harry Potter books. Liz read those books to us in first year, they were good but Harry was too stubborn. I was sitting next to Zach, Bex, Liz and Macey. They were talking about the new students, one in particular. He was sitting on his phone texting from the looks of it, he had broad shoulders, muscles everywhere and a mop of dirty blonde hair. Wow he was good looking. Bex was speaking, "I recognize him from somewhere. I'm going to invite him over coz Zach needs at least one male friend!"

She walked over and tapped him on the shoulder, he looked up, his piercing blue eyes fell on Bex. He didn't really look interested as Bex invited him over, but he came anyway.

He sat down opposite Zach and I and in between Bex and Macey. Liz sat at the end of the table. "Hi, I'm Alex. Alex Starbright. Nice to meet all of you."

"Hi I'm Cammie. This is Zach, Elizabeth, Macey and Rebecca."

"It's Bex, call me Rebecca and you will pay dearly!" Bex interrupted stabbing me with daggers of annoyance.

We began to chat about everything and nothing, so I began to study him. My list of what Alex was letting on:

- American accent (flawless)

- clean casual clothes

- A phone that shouldn't have had signal.

To be honest. There wasn't much he was letting on.

We were about to fall into an awkward silence when my mom walked in.

Evelyn's pov

I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!!!!! A SCHOOL!! A SPY SCHOOL AT THAT!!

I was most certainly not convinced by the picturesque grass, paths and the castle. I hated school. I hated being forced to do anything. The school Joe Solomon was forcing me to go to was where he and his second wife worked and his stepdaughter went to school. Her name was Cameron Morgan, known as Cammie at school.

We got off the jet plane and I grabbed my small bag as Joe grabbed my suitcase. We were late and I didn't have my uniform. Therefore I was wearing black skinny jeans, a checkered black and red shirt, a light scarf and highheeled black boots. I looked like a model with my gingery red copper hair down to just below my shoulders. I wore my black leather satchel across my body with my denim jacket draped over my bag.

I entered the great hall behind Joe, it looked exactly like the great hall from the Harry Potter movies. I loved those movies and books. I stopped looking around as I felt all the eyes on me. It was a mixed school yet it was called Gallagher Girls Academy. How on earth did that work!

"Sorry we're late. I'm afraid Miss Starbright doesn't have any uniform or school books." Joe stated seeming slightly sympathetic. He went up to the teachers' table and took his seat leaving me standing there with my suitcase. I walked over to a table with two boys and four girls one of which I recognized as Cammie.

"Hello my name is Evelyn Starbright."

"Hey! I'm Cammie Morgan, this is Zach Goode, Bex Baxter, Macey McHenry, Liz Sutton and Alex Starbright"

Alex looked up and time stopped as recognition flickered in his blue eyes. He grinned and I recognized him. I had found Alex.
