Swine Flu. I hate it. It's the reason I have to spend my entire summer hanging around an empty Gallagher Academy. Both of my grandparents have Swine Flu. So here I am, sitting at the top of the grand staircase, watching all my sisters run off to spend their summers in interesting places, doing interesting things, with interesting people. It'll just be me and the maintenance guys here. Such interesting people they are! Even my mom is going on a business trip! Mr. Solomon promises to pop in every once in a while to check on me, but that's about it. There haven't been any COC threats in a long time, so my mom and Mr. Solomon aren't too worried about leaving me unsupervised, but they're leaving the entire school under a code black lockdown just to be safe. Mr. Solomon says not to be discouraged because anything could happen, and any unexpected guest could pop in for a visit. Whatever that means.
"Cammie, are you sure you can't come to London with me?" Bex asked, from behind me.
"I'd love to, Bex, but my mom is still mad about that time I snuck into a passageway and fell asleep for quite a long time." I replied bitterly.
"Bummer, Cam. We're really sorry about the boring summer ahead of you." Macey said, walking towards me with Liz.
"Enjoy your summer guys. I'll miss you" I said hugging each of them.
"We'll miss you too, Cammie" Liz answered. "Bye" they called as they walked out the door.
After all the girls and teachers were gone, I headed to my mom's office to say my final goodbyes.
"Come in" she called after the third knock. I walked in to find her and Mr. Solomon sitting on the couch with their bags.
"Hello Miss Morgan" Mr. Solomon greeted.
"Hello Mr. Solomon. You see that mom, Mr. Solomon is a very polite and nice young man, I'm sure if it were up to him, I'd be on my way to London right now." Mr. Solomon laughed.
"Young man? You're such a suck up Cam." he said.
"Well, Cameron Anne, maybe if you'd thought about what you were doing when you fell asleep in that passageway and scared me half to death, you would be on a plane to London right now." she snapped. "I don't want to miss my flight, so I'll leave you two to your thoughts she said before hugging me goodbye and ditching us.
"Don't worry, Cam. We've removed any important information from the mansion, so you won't accidentally stumble upon anything you shouldn't be stumbling upon, and the sublevels are completely inaccessible, so your going to have a great time." he teased.
"Gee thanks, Mr. Solomon I feel so much better now" I retorted. "No don't worry, the weight room is open so you can work out, the library is open, you can use the TV and we got you some on demand videos, a station, box980, and Kiwii and the kitchen is open so you should be plenty entertained" he laughed.
"I think you mean playstation, Xbox 360, and Wii" I mocked him." I should've just gotten you monopoly. Well I must be going. Have fun, Cam. Expect the unexpected." He winked at me before exiting. And that was it. I was alone.
