I opened my eyes to blinding light pouring through my curtain. I sat up and looked throughout my room. Bex was snoring to her hearts content, Liz was mumbling the equilibrium equation in her sleep, and Macey, well, let's just say she was being herself. I never knew that someone could look THAT good whilst asleep.
Although it was daybreak, it was a Saturday. Everyone else was sleeping in as long as they could. Whereas, I couldn't stand the silence. I quietly left my queen sized bed and made my way out of the door and down the corridor. I loved walking in the mansion when no one else was. The emptiness made it feel like it was built for me. My mansion. My home. It was, and still is my home of course but you know what I mean. As I walked through the hall of History I let my hand brush against the cold stone wall. Feeling the familiar bump in the wall where a brick was slightly raised. If I pushed it, it would lead me into the secret passage I had first discovered. Back in 7th grade. Back when I had no idea what I was to expect in this school. Even though both my parents were spies, nothing could have prepared me for the Gallagher Academy. I have experienced more in the past 3 years of my school life than I think I ever will in my life! But I'm not complaining.
I came to the top of the Grand Staircase and I looked over the entrance hall. It all seemed so big the first time I stepped through the doors to the school. Now it just seems normal, and everything else seems small in comparison. I went to take a step forward but I tripped over a bit of carpet and went plummeting down the stairs. But just before I could fall a hand grabbed at my arm and pulled me close to the owner of the hand's body. I looked up into the bright green eyes that stared back down at me and let out a sigh of relief.
"And a fine morning to you Cammie." Zach spoke with the softest voice as to not attract6 attention.
"Ditto Goode," I smiled up at him a released myself from his grasp. "What are you doing up so early?" We walked over to the front doors and sat down on a bench nearby.
"I knew that you wouldn't stay in bed till later, so I stalked the mansion looking for you," His smirk never fading as he looked at me up and down. Until then I hadn't realised what I had been wearing the night before. An oversized t-shirt with shorts on. Except you couldn't see the shorts because the top was so long. Crap.
"Really?" I said trying to keep my cheeks from burning.
"No, I was on my way to work out and I saw you fall. Do you want to go somewhere else?" He stood an offered me his hand. I took it and we made our way to the P&E barn. It was silent so we laid down on the mats and looked through the skylight.
"I love it when it's like this. Y'know, quiet," I looked over at him and he was already watching me. I blushed and smiled in his direction. His eyes twinkled and his mouth spread in to a huge goofy smile.
"What?" I asked him.
"Nothing, it's just…nothing," He looked back up at the skylight and I watched him for a bit. He knew I was watching him because I could see him trying to look at me discretely. I giggled and lay on my back. I was looking up at the clouds in the perfectly blue sky when I saw him inch closer.
I risked a look over at him and he was on his side about 4 inches away from him. He closed the distance and ran his fingers through my blonde hair and cupped my face. He closed his eyes, as did I, and he kissed me. His rand ran down neck, down my side and stopped and my waist. I put my hands up for his face and put them in his hair. He was kissing harder now, like this may be our last. I heard a creak but chose to ignore it. Then I opened my eyes to see an angry foot tapping on the floor.
"Really? Here? Now? Gosh Zach I thought better of you," Macey stood in the doorway of the barn, trying to conceal a grin from us.
"Good morning to you too, Macey." Zach moved off of me and stood on the mats, pulling me up with him.
"C'mon Cam, we're waiting for both of you at the breakfast table. I won't spill if you don't want me to," She walked over and dragged me out of the barn and toward the mansion, Zach tailing along behind me.
As soon as we walked in the doors Zach pulled me back. "Uh, Mace, we'll catch up." I shouted to her as she walked away.
"Don't be too long, you're already late! It's our last weekend before break you know!" She sauntered into the dining hall and left us in the foyer.
"Are you okay?" I asked Zach as he pulled me into an alcove, away from spying ears.
"Listen, I need to talk to you," He looked down at me and put his hand in the small of my back. "But after breakfast, I'm starving." He kissed me lightly on my lips and pulled me from the hiding place into the dining hall. Where everyone stared. And I mean E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E.
"So glad that you could finally join us Ms Morgan, and you Mr Goode." Mr Solomon was standing on the stage in front of the school. Zach still had his hand on my back as he guided me to our table.
"Right, as I was saying; in a matter of days, this school will be empty, you will all be on break. That is of course in exception for the seniors that have been picked to come on a once in a lifetime opportunity to come on a trip with some of our staff. Cameron, Rebecca, Macey, Tina and Zachary will be joining me and Mrs Morgan on the trip. So be ready ladies and gentlemen. This isn't just any school trip."
