Guess Who's at Gallagher Chapter 2
So, I decided to make this into a 3 or 4 shot story. I also had an epiphany. I figured Josh's little sister Joy and Ellie are in the same grade and they could go 2 gallagher 2gether. This story is NOT related 2 "The Boys are Back and There's Going to be Trouble" (as in, Josh does not know the truth) Also, you may have noticed I changed the name of this story
Next summer, around July (summer after 6th grade) Ellie's POV
I stared at the envelope in my hand, too scared to open it. I knew what it would say, of course, it's not like I couldn't go the Gallagher Academy, after what I learned approximately a
year ago. It's not like my parents couldn't let me go, after they finally saw the Gallagher Academy last month when we went up for Liz's graduation. I heard a voice behind me. "Open it
Ellie. We all know you got in." A high-pitched voice said. It was Liz. Our parents were right behind her. I sighed and opened it up, gingerly pulling out the letter. I was half hoping it
would say I couldn't go. I began reading.
Dear Ms. Sutton,
Congratulations. You have been accepted to start at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women this coming autumn. We feel that you will add so much to our school and are very excited to have you. We look forward to seeing you this coming autumn.
Sincerely,
Rachel Morgan
Headmistress
I smiled. "I got in." My parents swooped me up in a hug. "I knew you could do it." My dad said. "You'll be great," said my mom. Once they released me, Liz stepped towards me. "You'll
be fine. I know it. I can take you if you want, it's on my way to D.C." I smiled at her. "I'd like that." "Are you sure Lizzie? I don't want to distract you from your new job." Liz smiled at
her, "It's fine mom. It gives me a chance to see my teachers again, and don't worry I could never be distracted from my new job. It's the Department of Homeland Security." I had to
stop myself from giggling. As far as our parents knew, Liz had most of her classes done to get a double degree in technology and biochemistry, and would be working for the
Department of Homeland Security during the day working on security equipment and taking the few night classes required to finish up her degree online. In reality, she was working for
the CIA and technically had all the classes done required to get a PhD. I smiled at her. Gallagher Academy, here I come.
Around the same time, Joy's POV
I stared at the letter in my hand. I couldn't believe it. In my hand, I was holding a letter from the Gallagher Academy. Yes, the Gallagher Academy. The one for all the rich, spoiled
heiresses. Including my brother's ex-girlfriend, Cammie Morgan, who just treated him like a plaything. She broke his heart. I have no idea how they even found out about me. "Joy,
have you got the mail?" my mom called, snapping me out of my reverie. "Yeah mom. Coming." I went inside the house. My mom saw the bewildered expression on my face. "What's
going on?" Wordlessly, I handed her the envelope. "What's this?" she murmured. Then she looked at the envelope more closely. "Oh. Well, aren't you going to open it?" I rolled my eyes,
"Fine." She handed it over to me, along with a letter opener, and I carefully opened it and pulled out the piece of paper inside. I quickly scanned over it, but a few things stood out to
me, "scholarship" "join the incoming 7th grade class" "this autumn". My mouth dropped open. "What is it honey?" my mom asked. "The Gallagher Academy found out I was a good
student, and they want to offer me a scholarship for 7th through 12th grade." My mom smiled. "Honey, that's amazing. What do you think?" "What does Joy think of what?" Josh asked.
He and DeeDee had just walked through the door, holding hands. Josh grabbed 2 apples from the basket on the table and handed one to DeeDee. "I got offered a scholarship, to the
Gallagher Academy." Josh almost dropped his apple, and DeeDee got really big eyes. DeeDee was the first to recover. "That's great Joy. I'll bet you're really excited." "No, I'm not
going." I said. "Why not?" Josh asked. "You know why." I responded. Josh sighed and rolled his eyes, "Joy, that was almost 3 years ago. I've gotten over it, so I don't understand how
the hell you are sill mad about that." "I'll tell you why. It's not what happened to you, it's what it proved. That they're all stuck up brats." I snapped. "If I may interject, Joy, they're not
stuck up brats. Cammie is nice to me. And not even most regular girls are nice to their ex-boyfriends new girlfriends. And it is an amazing school. I heard having the Gallagher Academy
on an application is like a golden ticket to any college you want." DeeDee said. "She's right honey," my mom said. "How about we talk about it at dinner?" I said. "Okay," my mom said.
Dinnertime
At dinner that night, my dad asked the usual question of "How was everyone's day?" "Well, Joy got an exciting letter," my mom said. "What is it?" my dad asked. "I got offered a
scholarship to the Gallagher Academy. I wanted to talk to you first before I made my decision." "Well, what do you want to do? It is an amazing school, it would be a great opportunity."
"I don't know. It is a great school, but what about everyone here. I doubt they'd let me commute." "It'd be an adventure, and you do get let out occasionally. I think you should do it."
My dad said. "Okay. I think I'll go."
