Cammies POV-
It was late at night. Almost three o clock in the morning. I was still thinking about Zach and how he asked me to run away with him. I was still deep in thought when I was interrupted by a small creak near the door. My spy instincts were immediately brought to attention. I sat straight up in bed like a spring and looked towards the door cautiously. I listened closely and there it was again the simple sound of a footstep quietly approaching the door. I instantly got up and started slowly moving my hand towards the panic button on the wall. But then something stopped me. What if it was a Gallagher girl, or a teacher or…. Zach. Suddenly I was excited and terrified at the same time. The footsteps continued to come towards the door. I kept my hand near the button just in case. The footsteps were in front of the door when the door knob started to turn. I watched wide eyed as the door slowly started to open. The tiniest sliver of light shed across the floor and I braced myself for the worst. The door opened and….. I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom what are you doing up so late at night?" I asked relieved and disappointed. The headmistress, my mother walked into the room. "I just had to tell you something Cammie, when I knew your friends would be asleep." She said and then chuckled as she looked over at Bex snoring in bed.
"What is it? Is it important? Is Mr. Solomon ok?" I asked anxiously for her not to want my friends to know it had to be important. Mr. Solomon had been back for 2 weeks, resting in the infirmary when he was well enough to get out of the hospital.
"No Mr. Solomon's fine, everything's fine. It's just I need to tell you something that you might not want to hear." She said slowly obviously trying to avoid the subject.
"Go on." I said looking at her curiously. It couldn't be too bad, could it? And then she told me.
