Rebecca "Bex" Baxter and her bestfriends Elizabeth "Liz" Sutton and MAcey McHenry were making their way down the stairs towards the Grand Hall and the welcome back dinner when the bumped into Tina Walters. Bex rolled her eyes and tuned the girl out as she prattled on about some rumor she had heard about something or other. Liz, on the other hand, listened politely and commented that she had, "heard nothing of the sort." Macey just ignored all three of them and headed off to dinner without them.
Five minutes later the group of three joined Macey at their table. Seeing that every Gallagher Girl in the 12th grade was present, Tina leaned over and whispered rather loudly to Bex(in Korean might I add), "I heard that we're getting a new student." The table went completely silent. A snort from Macey McHenry, who thought this to be the most far fetched rumor Tina had eer spread sent the table into a whispering frenzy that went on until Headmistress Morgan stepped up to the podium. At the end of her speech Headmistress Morgan addressed new and old issues, "As you girls may remember last year, we had visitors from Blackthorne Academy join us for the last semester." The room erupted in whispered and Headmistress Morgan had to clear her throat before continueing, "I am pleased to say that they will be joining us again this year, though only the seniors this time. Ladies, welcome back the Blackthorne Boys." As soon as she said this, the doors to the grand hall were opened and 25 boys walked into the room, or so they thought.
"It is good to be back" Dr. Steve announced from the front. He lead the boys to the front of the room as Headmistress Morgan made one last announcement.
"There are many familiar faces in this crowd and I'm sure you ladies will make them feel just as welcome as last time. However, I would like to introduce two new students who are joining us this year. Dr. Steve nodded to a pair of students in the middle of bunch and they stepped forward. The two seemed to have emotionless masks on as they faced the Gallagher student body. "This is Zachary Goode and Cameron Morgan...my daughter." A gasp went around the room. One that Rachel Morgan chose to ignore.
"They are in the CoveOps track and are excited to be here at Gallagher Academy. I trust that you ladies will make them feel welcome. That is all. You may go back to your rooms. The boys-and Cameron will be joining you in your classes first thing in the morning." Dr. Steve lead his students out of the hall and to their dorms.
"Cammie, your mother has to agreed to let you stay with us for the night, however, she wishes for you to dorm with the girls for the rest of our visit." Cammie, still wearing her mask simply nodded before twisting the knob to her dorm door and pushing it open.
"Thank you Dr. Steve." Cammie said, entering her dorm and shutting it behind her. Her eyes swept the room before her: four single beds, two dresserd, one bathroom, and three boys. Cammie went over to the bed with her suitcase on it and began to unpack. Jonas was already on his compuer and Grant was snoring softly and mumbling something about a bombshell. Zach was lying on his bed, both hands behind his head and staring at the ceiling.
"Did you hear the way your mom introduced us? It was almost like she was reading an online dating profile." he scoffed.
"Yeah, I half expected her to say that you love long walks on the beach and reading in the moonlight." Cammie teased.
Zach threw a pillow at her, one she easily dodged. Just as Cammie was about to retaliate, Jonas' watch beeped and everything went dark: the computer screen, the hallway lights, and the bedside lamp. Jonas looked down at his watch, "Lights out its-"
"9:30." Zach and Cammie said in unison.
"Good ole Blackthorne."Cammie said sarcastically as she climbed into bed. "Night Zach, night Jonas."
"G'Night Cammie."Jonas said, laying his glasses on the dresser before turning in.
"Night Cam."
