Gallagher Girl 4: Last Year

Zach, Liz, Bex, Macey, Hunter, and I all left Nebraska three weeks before it was time for school to start. Zach went to his uncle's. Luckily he would be back for school to start. I spent most of those three weeks with my parents. We did family things. My dad and I joked about my mom's cooking. Even though it was really jokes, it was true. Now it was the first day of school all over again. At least it wouldn't be at Roseville high. Everyone I love would be safe and sound at Gallagher except for my Dad who would be house hunting.

I was sitting a windowsill watching the limos come and drop students off. It was officially bye-bye to an all girls school. I was waiting for my friends to arrive. Macey, I knew was already here. She told me she'd be in the library. That's when I saw Bex and Liz come out of a limo. They must have spent the rest of the summer together. I hopped down and ran to greet them. They both had huge smiles on their faces. Bex and Liz dropped there luggage and hugged me.

"So what'd you and Zach do for the three weeks after we left Nebraska?" Liz asked, apparently she hadn't known that Zach had been with his uncle. Bex looked at her with a knowing smile.

"Liz, Zach went to his uncle's for the rest of the summer." Bex said for me. I nodded.

"Oh, oopsy daisy I had no idea." she said with a sheepish smile.

"It's okay. Come on why don't we go inside and unpack." I said trying to keep my mind off Zach. I couldn't wait till he arrived. I already saw other boys in the halls. We went to our room and Bex asked, "Is Macey here already?" I nodded.

"Yeah, she's in the library." I told them as we entered our room. I'd been unpacked for several days so I just stood and caught up with them. They had had a good summer. I told them of the family games that I played with my mom and dad. They were all smiling smiles that said 'you're family is back together again.' They were happy for me. When they finished we walked to the library.

I couldn't help but look out the window wondering if he was here yet. I was fiddling with the bracelet he gave me. When we walked in the library I saw Macey talking to Hunter. I smiled. Macey looked at me then looked at my hands, I quickly put them at my sides. I saw Macey smiling, it was quite a perceptive smile. It was like she could read my mind. She looked around at all of us and arched one of her perfect eyebrows. Macey stood up and greeted us.

"So, where is…" she paused, "Zach?" I shrugged. The last I saw him was at the airport where he was going to Maine apparently his uncle lived close to the school.

"Not here yet?" Hunter questioned standing close to Macey.

"Yeah, I haven't seen him at all." I told him. I figured if Zach got here he would want to see me. That's when we all heard giggling from behind the stacks. My heart started pounding what if-no he would never. I thought. We went back there quietly. I burst out laughing when I saw who would be the gossip during the meals for at least a little while. It was none other than the gossip queen herself. Tina and Ethan cuddled on the couch. Tina's eyes were wide in shock of us being her. She jumped up.

"Hey guys. What's up?" she asked nervously smoothing out her shirt and skirt.

"Well look here guys. I bet lots of students will believe this." Bex said with an sly grin. Tina's eyes looked as though they were going to pop out of her eyes.

"Please no! You can't do this. What if your mom gets wind of it then tells my mom? I'm doomed." she said narrowing her eyes at Bex.

"Maybe you should think of that the next time you start a rumor about someone." Bex said with a grin. "Let this be a lesson to you." I suppressed a laugh. Ethan stood up.

"Please, don't start the rumor." he asked, I could tell that he found it sort of funny. I think he was only saying it to be on Tina's side.

"Sorry, but we can't promise it won't leak. I mean who knows who else is in the library right now." Macey said with an evil grin. Tina looked around. That's when we saw Piper walk in. Her long blond hair was down flowing down her back. Last year I didn't know if what she had acted like was a cover or not. Seeing her now I didn't think it was. I think she really was a mean… person.

"The bitch is back." I heard Macey whisper in my ear with a grin. This wasn't the first time I'd heard her cuss, so I wasn't that surprised. Besides I think that name fit Piper perfect, although I would never admit it out loud. Piper came up to us.

A/N: First chapter done, second is on the way! :) Well what'd you think of the beginning? Good? Bad? Where is Zach anyways? You'll find out later, I promise. Oh, Piper, yeah she's back. It's there last year at Gallagher! :( Okay so maybe last year should have been they're last year but it's not just for the purpose of this story. Lol, so work with me here. :) Please review!
