A/N This is my first story and an idea that's been playing in my head for a while. I changed the title because I thought that it sounded better. My updates will definitely not be as regular as this but I just felt I had get it moving. Please review and give me any tips and tell me if there are any mistakes. Thanks.

The next day, Kat woke up to a pain in her neck and the gentle snoring of Hale. They were both still on the sofa, the laptop still on Hale's lap, Kat's head on his shoulder. She couldn't even remember falling asleep but here she was.

Kat sat up slowly, ignoring the uncomfortable but dull pain in her neck. She lifted the laptop off Hale's lap, careful not to wake him. He let her sleep there so that was the least she could do. She moved over to the table and checked her e-mails. There was one from Cammie:

Kat,

Leaving the Gallagher Academy now so will maybe be there by lunch. Can't wait to see you.

Cammie xx

Cammie! How could Kat forget? Here she was at 11 o'clock in the morning having only woken up in yesterday's crumpled clothes. Her cousin was arriving soon with four people she had never met before! She rushed up the stairs, grabbed at towel and ran straight into the shower.

15 minutes later she was in a blue and white checked shirt, navy jeans and boots. Her freshly washed hair was pulled back into a high ponytail. Kat opened her bedroom door and was hit in the face by the smell of waffles and bacon. She let it lead her down into the huge dining room where Hale and the Bagshaws were finishing up. Marcus, Hale's butler, brought out a plate piled with food and set it in front of her. Kat flashed a grateful smile at the man and tucked in.

"Where are Gabrielle and Simon?" Kat asked without looking up. "The last I saw they were heading for the shower," Hamish replied grinning joyously at the thought. "Both of them?" Hale asked confused, "They do know that they are meant to go to the shower to get cleaned." "Hmm. Try telling that to Gabs," Kat laughed. "Oh and Nick called." Kat looked up. "He said he couldn't stand your dad and Amelia anymore and he's on his way over," Angus continued.

Kat shuddered. It wasn't nice to think what Nick meant by that. Hale sighed at the thought of his summer being interrupted by who he still considered to be the new kid.

Simon entered the room grinning like the cat who got the cream. "Where's Gabs?" Hale asked, a smug smirk on his face. "Drying her hair," Simon answered, his face reddening. Kat kicked Hale's shin under the table and gave him a look that said 'Leave him alone.' Hale rolled his eyes but obliged all the same. "So when is Cammie getting here?" Hamish asked trying to erase images of Gabrielle and Simon from his head, unsuccessfully. "She said she'd be here at lunch," Kat shrugged, "It's a little bit vague." Gabrielle sauntered in and squealed, "Waffles!" Hale got up. "Hearing!" he said sarcastically, pointing to his ears.

He grabbed Kat's hand and dragged her into the hall, "Do you still think this is a good idea?" "Of course I do. Cammie's my cousin!" Kat slowly planted a kiss on his cheek to reassure him, "Don't worry."

The doorbell rang and reverberated through the mansion. Kat shrieked and ran through the house to greet her cousin.

"Don't worry," Hale repeated to himself and sighed. For Kat's sake he was going to play the good host and look out for any trouble that these spies might cause. He had promised her dad that he would look after her.
