Thank you everyone you favorited my story or followed it or reviewed that means so much! I'm uploading an extra long chapter so I hope you enjoy!
And I don't own Gallagher girls!
Payton POV
How in the world did I let Whitney beat me I thought?
"If it makes you feel any better I couldn't spot her on the screens and one of the best operatives I know made the same mistake you did on the exact same mission." Mr. Goode told me.
"Who?" I asked.
"Cammie Morgan," Mr. Goode's love struck eyes just at the name of my mother wandered off. Every time he spoke her name or referred to her I could tell he is still in love. But I'm not about to tell my mom this he broke her heart once he isn't doing it again.
"Hey Mr. Goode," My best friend Michael appeared at exactly four thirty sharp. Michael has short dark brown hair, green eyes, and is 5' 10".
"Congratulations Michael made it with no tail very impressive," Mr. Goode praised.
"Hey dude," Michael came up to me.
"Hey congrats," I commented.
"You too I'm surprised we are the only two who made it with no tail." Michael mentioned.
"Wait oh you thought I made it with no tail…Whitney tailed me here," I commented. "Whitney come introduce yourself."
Whitney walked over and reached out her hand, "I'm Whitney Morgan, Payton's twin sister.
"Payton you have a twin sister!" Michael gasped.
"Well uh yeah I kind of just forgot to mention her," I trailed off
Whitney just rolled her eyes at me.
"I'm Michael by the way," Michael laughed.
"Wait Katie was tailing you right?" Whitney asked.
"Yeah she wasn't too hard." Michael said trying to sound humble.
"Well that would make sense seeing as she's on the technical track, she's a wiz but by far the worst field agent at Gallagher."
"Wait are you serious I got the worst girl to tail me!" Michael sighed.
"Yeah pretty much so I still think that Gallagher wins." Whitney smirked.
"I think you are right Miss Morgan," Mr. Goode came up behind us. "Whitney you better go meet up with the rest of your class to head back to the mansion."
"Ok bye Payton nice meeting you guys!" Whitney gave me a hug before leaving.
"Seriously how come you never mentioned your sister?" Michael asked once we were out of earshot.
"Later this isn't the place ok?" I muttered.
"Fine whatever back at the academy then." Michael stated.
I nodded confirming I would talk than before following Mr. Goode out of the store. We went to gather the other students who we found either one being held captive by the girls or being honey potted which wasn't really working because all of the boys were blubbering too much to get the location out of.
Michael went up to the girl who must have been his tail Katie was her name I think. She has dark way brown hair that flows down to a bit past her shoulders, she's about 5'1" has brown eyes with glasses. Michael was explaining to her what happened, "Katie I made it to the location after loosing you ok?"
"Figures," Katie responds looking over at me. Her eyes went wide as she ran off to find someone. "Ali! Chelsea!"
Two girls who must be Ali and Chelsea appeared. As Katie was talking she referred to the girl with dark shoulder length blonde hair, about 5'4", dark blue eyes, and a nice tan and she wasn't hot exactly more just beautiful as Ali. The other girl must be Chelsea she has straight light blonde hair that flows to the middle of her back, light blue eyes, about 5'6", tan and let me tell you she is hot!
The three girls began moving my way, walking with a purpose. The girl who I think is Chelsea spoke first, "Are you Whitney's brother?"
"Uh yeah," I answered her, her piercing gaze making my knees go weak.
"I'm Chelsea," Chelsea greeted.
"Payton," I greeted back.
"Hey, I'm Katie," Katie stuck out her hand
"And I'm Ali we're Whitney's best friends and roommates." Ali also shook my hand.
"Nice to meet you guys I've got to head back to my academy bye!" I left them hurrying over to my friends.
"Dude how come you get all the hot ones!" My friend Adam groaned. Adam is player and he will be the first to admit it. Girl's fall for his blonde Bieber hair all too easily. He has blonde Bieber hair, brown eyes, and is the tallest of us all at 6' 2".
"There just Whitney's friends," I explained until I forgot that they have no idea who Whitney is.
"Who's Whitney?" Adam asked.
"Uh my twin sister," I replied sheepishly.
"Dude you have a twin sister and you didn't tell me! Is she hot?" Adam exclaimed.
"Uh I don't know how to answer that about my own sister," I awkwardly stated.
"Show me a picture now!" Adam insisted.
"Fine," I took out my phone showing him a picture of Whitney and I this past summer. It was at a bar-b-que the head of the CIA was hosting.
"Oh my bloody god she is hot and I was never informed of this!" Adam's mom, Bex, is British so Adam has his British moments every now and than.
"Uh how do I respond to that," I said shaking my head.
"Boys it's time to get in the van follow me," Mr. Goode saved me.
As we headed to the van Nate came up behind me and whispered, "What do you think of Whitney's friend Katie?"
"I think she's perfect for you," And I meant it she is a nerd he is a nerd there perfect for each other from what Whitney has told me about her.
Whitney's POV
I sat in the van with Mr. Solomon waiting for the other girls to come. "Good work Whitney," Mr. Solomon praised.
"Thank you sir," I answered.
"It was very risky talking to Payton especially because he knows you better than anyone else in the world from what I have gathered."
"You are correct sir," my mind kept wandering to Zachary Goode, I had just met my father. Of course I couldn't think of anything else I couldn't even be cocky about beating Payton!
"Is something bothering you Whitney? You know you can tell me anything right?"
"Of course you are my Uncle after all," I smiled. My Aunt Abby and Solomon had married right before I was born.
"Something's bothering you what is it?"
"What do you think I just met my father who isn't a total jack ass like I hoped? I was hoping to be able to hate him right off the bat but he, he's nice! Like what am I supposed to think of him?" I sighed it felt good telling Uncle Joe about it.
"You can think whatever you want to about him. What he did to your mother was wrong but that doesn't mean he didn't learn from his mistake. Maybe we don't even have the full story but the point is," I nodded my head understanding Uncle Joe's point, "You don't have to think what your mother wants you to think about him. Payton surely doesn't. But don't you dare tell your mother I told you this."
"Of course not Uncle Joe," I laughed.
All of a sudden the white doors were pushed open revealing the rest of the sophomore class. I took my seat in the back of the van saving three seats around me for Ali, Chelsea, and Katie. Once they entered the van they all began talking at once. "Where have you been?" Katie asked while Ali began asking about how I managed to beat Payton. And Chelsea was talking about how hot Payton, Adam, Nate, and Michael are of course I had no idea who Nate and Adam are.
"Whoa slow down! One at a time!" I yelled. "Katie I have been here the whole time, Ali I beat him by confronting him and tricked him into telling me, and Chelsea who are Nate and Adam?"
"You don't know your own brothers best friends!" Chelsea hissed.
"No he refuses to talk about his time at Blackthorne." I sighed.
Chelsea quickly brushed my sigh off and immediately began explaining them and giving them hot ratings. "Ok so Nate is Katie's perfect match! He has churlish light brown hair, hazel eyes and doesn't tower over her at 5' 6"! He is about a 6.5. Ok so now Michael who you already met! He is 8.3! Adam has blonde Bieber hair, chocolate brown eyes, about 6' 2". He is an easy 9.8" Chelsea squealed. "Now your brothers turn Payton! Ok so his emerald green eyes and blondish brown hair easily puts him at a drum roll please! 9.0!"
"Glad to know Chelsea that my brother and his friends are hot." I rolled my eyes at her excitement.
The whole ride back to Gallagher consisted of Katie's typing (She couldn't be away from that computer for more than a few hours), Ali listening to her IPod, and Chelsea squealing over the outfits in the latest Vogue magazine.
"Look Whit! Look at how she pared that leather jacket with those leather boots! Oh my gosh it is just such a fabulous look! Don't you agree Whit? Well of course you do!" Chelsea exclaimed. I just laughed and shook my head at her. Often times Chelsea rubs people the wrong way but I'm so used to her rhetorical questions and brutal honesty it's lost the sting.
I peered over to the seat in front of me looking at Katie's laptop. "Why are you reinforcing Gallagher's firewalls?" I whispered.
"Don't you think that the Blackthorne boys are going to try and hack into our system?" Katie replied sarcastically.
"Well yeah do you think you can hack there's?" I asked
"Of course I can the only thing I haven't been able to hack is the CIA and I'm halfway through!" Katie exclaimed proudly.
"Let me know when you get into Blackthorne." I said leaning back into the cushiony seats of the van.
I peered over at Ali who had just recently fallen asleep. Her head resting softly against the glass window.
I began thinking about all the things Payton hadn't told me. I had never even heard of Nate, Michael, or Adam. Of course I assumed he had friends but he never mentioned them by name. And he never mentioned dad. It was weird to be able to picture a guy as my dad. And when he had said Cammie Morgan…he is still in love I don't think he cheated on mom. Like Uncle Joe said maybe we don't have the full story. I'm making my mind up now I need to meet him again and confront him on my mother's behalf. Something's just telling me he isn't as bad as I've been told.
As I continued with these thoughts Gallagher mansion came into view. Home this is my second home. My Gallagher sisters are my second family. We are sisters. I smiled at the thought of how close knit we are.
The sophomore class and I entered the great hall just in time for dinner. Tonight's language is English, which is really unusual.
"Girls, girls, please take a seat I have a very important announcement," Headmistress Morgan announced, yeah she is still the headmistress.
As we all took a seat I could see whispers about the important announcement begin to arise. "I heard that someone's pet llama went missing!" the school gossip, Raquel Hamilton, blabbered.
"We are going to be doing an exchange with another school just like ours except for boy spies in training!" Headmistress breathed. Immediately the talking began all too quickly. But I felt light headed. Blackthorne, Payton, Zach, Zach, Zach. "Shush girls we are going to be visiting them. The sophomore class met some of these boys today. We will be leaving tomorrow at 4 O' clock sharp I expect all of your bags to be ready! We are going there for a whole semester. That is all enjoy girls," As headmistress Morgan sat down again my head began buzzing.
I know I should be happy after all just an hour ago I was thinking about how badly I wanted to get to know Dad but now I get my wish what if he doesn't want me as his daughter? What if he is as horrible as mom says? There are too many unknown factors as of right now.
What if he rejects me?
And before I knew what I was doing I was out of that room. Too many witness I thought as I ran. I immediately found my favorite passageway and began crying into my knees. Nobody knew what was going on in my head right now. Nobody knew the fear I was feeling of being rejected. I have gone 15 years without my father and now that I have found him what do I do if he rejects me? What do I do?
"Whit?" Ali called.
"What?" I snapped.
"Are you ok?"
"What does it look like? I'm sorry Al I just am not in a good mood right now."
"I can tell. But may I ask why? I mean you will have Payton there and won't that be fun?"
"Of course it will be it's just Ali can you promise not to tell anyone this?"
"Of course," Ali and I twisted our pinkies together in a pinkie promise "Gallagher promise," Ali confirmed.
I smiled quickly before continuing on, "Mr. Goode their Cove Ops professor is my dad." Ali's shocked face showed this is not what she was expecting. "He doesn't know he's my dad and well I'm scared of being rejected," I sighed it felt good finally telling Ali.
"Don't be scared Whit he likes Payton doesn't he?" Ali reassured.
"He does," I nodded, "but I want to tell him. I want him to know he is my father I want him to be proud of me for tailing my brother in the middle of a mall! I want him to be proud and be able to say 'that's my daughter!' I want to have a dad," I ended at almost a whisper.
Ali was speechless for a few seconds. I never talk about my feelings or how much I longed for my dad. I bet nobody else even knows I want my dad. Even Payton doesn't know and I tell him everything.
"Whitney if you want to tell him I am sure he will be proud of you and how could someone not like you! I mean you are just about the best, coolest, nicest, funniest, perfect spy ever!" Ali boasted.
"Thanks Al but what if he doesn't agree?" I sighed.
"Than he is the stupidest man I know and you won't know if he doesn't agree until you tell him!" Ali convinced me.
"Ok I will tell him…eventually because you know I want to get to know him first," I justified
"Fine but you will tell him before the exchange is over deal?" Ali confirmed.
"Deal," I agreed.
"Now come on I bet your grandma is starting to get worried." Ali smiled.
I nodded as I got up leaving the passageway with her. As I entered the great hall everyone's eyes were glued on me.
"Nothing to see here people!" Chelsea stood up.
Thank you I mouthed over to her. Chelsea just nodded and motioned to the spot next to her. I took it immediately gorging into my untouched food.
Raquel Hamilton began her walk over to me and I groaned. "Is it true Whitney that you ran out because you didn't want to have to face your long time boyfriend who you have been cheating on because it's been a long distance relationship?"
I looked at her as if she has three heads. I mean how in the world do you come up with that! You tell me! So I decided to speak my mind for once. "Where in the world do you come up with those crazy rumors?"
"My resources tell me." Raquel said sticking up her nose.
"And what 'resources' would those be?" I asked putting air quotes around resources.
"Well uh um anyway is it true?" Raquel avoided my question.
I just rolled my eyes and answered with a flat out, "No,"
"Oh ok!" Raquel accepted as she bounced over to her seat
"But seriously where does she come up with that?" I turned towards Katie, Ali, and Chelsea.
"Only god knows," Chelsea rolled her eyes.
"Do you mind telling us the real reason you ran out though?" Katie cautiously spoke.
"Not here," Was all I answered with.
Chelsea and Katie nodded. Dinner finished with the excitement never dying down about going to Blackthorne. At the end of the meal my grandmother stood up again.
"Girls I would like to see Whitney Morgan, Katie Anderson, Ali White, and Chelsea Webster after dinner please and no classes tomorrow so that all of you girls can get ready to leave." Headmistress Morgan sat down.
We were dismissed from dinner and Katie, Ali, Chelsea, and I headed up to the headmistress's office. I stepped up to the wooden doors giving it a light knock. "Come in girls," My grandmother called.
"Hey Grandma," I smiled. The rest of the girls chorused in a hello Headmistress Morgan. "You wanted to see us?"
"Yes now as I assume you girls are all well aware of Payton being at Blackthorne," All the girls and I nodded, "And I doubt that any of you know this but Mr. Goode is," Please don't say it please don't tell them I prayed, "Whitney's father." She said it!
Katie and Chelsea let out a gasp. "What?" Ali just nodded already have been told this less than an hour ago.
"You have some explaining to do!" Chelsea determined.
"Yeah I know and I will later not now," I sighed now I really had to tell them.
"Don't get mad at her Chelsea she wasn't supposed to tell anyone. But girls I need you to make sure that Mr. Goode never finds out that he is her father." Headmistress Morgan stated. I hung my head low I wanted him to know. Why does nobody understand that?
"But may I ask why?" Ali asked coming to the rescue.
"Yes you may Mr. Goode cheated on Ms. Morgan during a mission. Cammie came to surprise her fiancé but once she entered the room she found two thongs on Zack's bed. When Cammie confronted him he didn't deny what he did. Zack left Cammie standing in that hotel room feeling worthless. Cammie had come to surprise him with the news that she was pregnant." I had heard this story tons of times.
I know that he hurt my mom but I need a dad I need a guy in my life! I mean I have Payton but I need the guy who you can let see you cry and it doesn't matter to you.
Chelsea, Katie, and Ali obviously had never heard of such a thing happening. Just to think how perfect their lives are. Deep down or I guess not so deep I'm jealous they have perfect families. A parent is always home and they have both parents who don't fight and love each other unconditionally.
"Oh," was all Ali managed to get out before I stormed out of the room.
I sprinted to my dorm room and began packing for Blackthorne. I know not the most discreet thing to do but I needed out of that stupid office!
"Whitney!" Headmistress Morgan, Ali, Katie, and Chelsea called down the hallway.
"What?" I barked back.
"Why did you run out?" They all asked.
"Because I'm tired of everyone living in the past! I'm tired of not having a say in anything that's done!" I exclaimed as I let off steam.
"Whitney honey of course you have say in what goes on." Grandma Morgan attempted to reassure.
"Did anyone consult me when you guys decided I couldn't have a father or just now when you recruited my best friends from keeping my father from finding out he is my father? I don't think so!" I yelled.
"Whitney Marie Morgan quiet down right this second! We didn't consult you because we know best and we thought that you would agree with our decision after all he did to your mother!" Grandma Morgan ordered.
"Whatever I'm just going to pack," I sighed. I just than noticed Chelsea, Ali, and Katie awkwardly standing on the other side of the room.
"Let me know when you are ready to talk Whitney." My Grandma decided, once again for me.
As my Grandma left the room I turned back to my suitcase that I had already started on. "Whitney move over you are packing all the wrong things!" Chelsea cried.
And that's all it took to get me laughing and smiling again. My roommates know me way too well. Pretty soon Katie, Ali, and I were rolling on the floor laughing as Chelsea was frantically packing.
Up next is Blackthorne! Please review the more reviews the faster I update!
