Disclaimer: Ally Carter owns the series, even though I wish I did, it doesn't and I gess I just have to deal with it.
Chapter Uno/One: (I get my Spainish and English mixed up because I live with a Spainsh teacher and it annoys me to no end, so I like to mix it up a little sometimes) Code Black
"Liz, just shut up." Bex told her. Liz had been telling us about what she learned about some old Greek guy named Plato. It was actually some interesting stuff, that's just me though. But no, Bex and Macy were set on torturing me about Zach.
"He has to like you, if not love you. He saved your life back in November." Macy attempted to convince me, but utterly failed. "That's a sure sign, and he gave you his jacket."
"Oh, my gosh guys." I said. "I really don't want to talk about Zach. First of all, I don't like him, and second, why would he want me anyways? And he just held me down because Joe told him to."
"HE GAVE YOU HIS JACKET!" Macy shrieked.
"SHUT UP." I shouted, even getting Liz's attention who was still reading a book. "I'm not talking about him. I'm over him."
Bex looked at Macy and they both nodded at the same time, they did that a lot and that freaked me out sometimes. But being a spy (and a girl) you get freaked out sometimes. They were going to give it one more try, well guess what? I'm not going to cave, no matter what.
"That kiss last year didn't look fake. And -" Macy was interrupted by everything going black and a robotic voice going 'CODE BLACK CODE BLACK". I never thought I would be so glad for a code black, but we are now, there's always a first time, isn't there?
"What do you think is happening?" Bex asked, her accent could be clearly heard since she was covering it up like she almost always did.
"I-I don't know" I said, usually I was the one that asked questions about situations like this.
I heard heavy footsteps coming down the hallway heading towards our room. They were too heavy, none of the girls, even the seniors weighed enough to make that much noise. But they didn't sound fat either. My heart stopped. It was them, as in the Blackthorne boys.
"Under the beds." I whispered. There was enough room under each bunk for two to fit comfortably. We could squeeze all four of us in there if we had to, but we didn't have to, since there was four of us and two bunks. And if you do the math, that's two plus two.
"Why?" Macy whispered back to me. "Shouldn't we be trying to get out of the building?"
"We will later, but get under the bunk, now." I said.
"But-
"Now!" I ordered and Macy held up her hands in retreat and started to crawl under first. Macy's safety was more important than mine, I mean she's the daughter of the Senator.
Liz and Bex were already under one. The door opened as soon as started crawling under the bunk. Crap, I struggled to get in farther, but failed because Macy had brought her entire wardrobe and put all the suitcases under her, so there was only room for one, and Macy was still squished. I felt someone grab my ankles and Macy grasped my hands tightly, but she wasn't strong enough to hold on to me.
I couldn't see who it was because it was practically pitch dark. But by the way the guy was dragging me, it had to be a Blackthorn boy. I mean, I've had entiely too many run ins with them in and out of school. My mind was telling me to scream, or cry out or at least say something sarcastic like 'this is a really good way to impress a girl, kidnap them'. But my mouth couldn't do anything, nada, nothing, niene. They dragged me out of my room and part way down the hallway when he stopped abruptly. Whoever it was took a flashlight out of their pocket. When I could finally see who was kidnapping me, my mind was blown away.
"Zach?" I asked, almost sure I was hallucinating. My voice was mixed with a bunch of different emotions. Anger, betrayal, happiness, sadness, annoyance and...nervousness?
"Hey Gallagher girl." He said
I could hear shrieks and shouts from my room, but my mind was too frazzled right now to know that those voices were actually Macy, Bex and Liz. Most of the shouting was from Bex and I think the shrieking most likely came from Liz and Macy. I tried to turn that way and start running but Zach pinned me to the wall. He removed one hand and reached for something in his pocket but what though? I felt something winding around my wrists, it was a piece of rope, and Zach had it tight, like really tight.
"Zach?" I whispered. "What's going on? I trusted you, and for nothing."
He inhaled sharply. But then turned me around to face him. I didn't do anything for a few moments and then I kneed him in the stomach, hard. He bent over for a second but then stood right back up. He put his hands on my shoulders which made them feel heavy. He looked me straight in the eye and was trying to send me a telepathic message or something, but it wasn't working.
"I thought you cared-
"I do care." He said cutting me off. "That's why I'm doing this."
"What? How?" I asked
"Just trust me Gallagher girl." He whispered.
But I wasn't sure that I even could anymore.
