Hi guys. This is my first fanfic so it might not be that good but you'll have to wait and see. This is the Preface/Prologue and Chapter 1. Enjoy!

Preface

"Come on Gallagher Girl, stay with me."

"Zach?"

"Yeah it's me, come on you need to stay."

"Zach, she can't know who we are. You have to promise that you'll make sure that she doesn't know who we are. If she knew...Well you know what would happen if she knew."

"OK Cam I promise but, come on you can't leave me alone, we can keep her safe together. You can't-"

"You know it's going to happen, we've known for a while now. It's going to happen."

"Please, Cam, please."

"I love you Zach. I…Love…You-"

Chapter 1

Why in the world would anyone want to go to a boarding school. Oh wait, I don't actually want to go, I'm being forced to go. Talk about child abuse. And why this boarding school. Of all the schools in the world they had to choose The Gallagher Academy For Exceptional Young Women. Which, in case you hadn't heard, is a school for geniuses and my new home, until I get expelled that is.

I've never been the 'good girl' type and so far in the past ten years I have been sent to seven schools. I went to two of which in the same school year.

But it's not my fault that I'm badly behaved, I personally blame the parents.

Knock. Knock. Knock. "Can I come in sweetie?"

Don't call me sweetie!

"Come in!" As the woman I've known my entire life steps through my bedroom door I already know what she is going to say.

"How's my favourite niece?" One-I told you so. And two-I'm you only niece.

"I'm good thanks." My aunt is the only person that I am nice to. If you know my aunt then you probably think that she is the kindest person you have ever met but she is terrifying when she is angry. And I don't get scared of anything.

"Are you all packed and ready to go tomorrow morning?" Oh my god, I'm leaving tomorrow, I hadn't thought it was tomorrow.

"Er…Yeah I think so. When is everyone getting here?" By everyone I meant the few friends that I have and will have to say goodbye to.

"They should be here in half an hour. Which leaves time for some exciting news" A surprise party. "A surprise party!" I told you so. "And obviously I had to get you a present so…"

As she left the room I was wondering what bizarre gift she had got me this time. For my second birthday she got me a bunk bed, A BUNK BED.

She walked back into the room with a blue shoe-box-sized box. "And this is your present." As she held it out to me I was dreading what was inside.

Thanks to anyone who has just read that. What do you think happened to Cammie. I will update at least every week. Please review and leave any comments or tips on how to make my writing better. If you have any questions you can put them in the reviews or feel free to pm me. Thanks
