Chapter 1: Surprise Midnight Visits
Creak. That's all it took to wake me, a trained spy, up. I scanned the room and found a silhouette to the right of me. Just as I was about to take him out using the Berfoldi maneuver, I noticed the man's arms. They were very muscular, and they were all that kept me from attacking. I didn't stop because I thought I couldn't take him (because I so could). I stopped because those arms belonged to the guy that'd been invading my thoughts all summer.
"Zach?" There wasn't a reply. "Zach," I tried again. "If that's you, you'd better start talking or you're gonna regret coming here."
"It's me, Cammie," he answered. Finally, a response! Wait. Something was off. He seemed tense, like he was bracing himself for something. What would possibly worry Zach enough that he would come to my school-again- and visit me in the middle of the night?
"Is there something going on that I don't know about, Zach, because if there is you'd better tell me."
He didn't even need to answer. The smile that spread over his face answered for him. "Relax, Gallagher Girl. You'll find out soon enough." And with that, he left.
Great I thought to myself. Thanks a lot Zach. How am I supposed to sleep after you tell me stuff like that?! I lie in bed, wondering what it would possibly be this time.
