Hello, I'm back and with a new chapter and everything! Well technically I never left because I decided to post the first two chapters together because I like this one LOADS better than the first one. :D
Disclaimer: I do not own the Gallagher Girl Series.
Goode Little Liar.
Cameron swirled round and kicked Martin in the gut, sending him back winded. But he was quick to recover and she ducked his blow by and Inch. She went to kick again but Martin caught her foot and pulled forward sending her crashing to the floor and before she could recover he pinned her down.
"Nice one Morgan." he teased blowing his wavy brown hair out of his face. Cam squirmed under his grasp as circus music bleared in her head, but she didn't do anything. After years of being yelled at every time she absentmindedly hummed the tune she had trained herself to hide it.
"Goode!" She hiss-corrected him before kicking him in the groin, making him topple of of her.
"Good game." he winced and Cammie bounced up and helped Martin slowly to his feet.
"You never call me Goode." he defended as they left the gym.
"You weren't raised as Catherine's responsibility." She pointed out, taking a swig of her water and opening the door with her back.
"Yeah! So? You have to admit is sort of pathetic." he reasoned but Cameron just laughed and said ,
"You should not speak ill of your superiors." As if she was repeating something someone had said.
"It's alright for you! I don't want to be know as Sanders ,and Abrams…Well…" he trailed of.
"Sounds like it's been made up." Cammie finished for him cheekily.
"I was gonna say it was just boring but okay that as well." he smiled, one of his dazzling smiles that almost made Cameron drool but she could maintain herself better than that.
"Yeah but whoever the Abrams were didn't use you for whatever sick mission they wanted done just for the sake of making other peoples lives hell!" she spat getting angrier with every word and tears building in her eyes.
Something changed in Martins eyes that only Cameron could notice and only she could bring out. Whenever she talked about the parents who had mistreated her. She couldn't quite put a word or emotion to it but it made her heart break every time. They were turning into the older , less-modern, rocky part of the circle headquarters as Martin spoke.
"Gee Cameron calm down!" he exclaimed and then tried to smile. "Do you remember any of that anyway?" He asked and that thing in his eyes became clearer.
"No! But I know it Happened!" She said indignantly and sounding slightly pompous. "Catherine has told me all about it!" she stuck her nose in the air and pushed open a wooden door that lead to another stretch of corridor.
"Then it's not as bad as it would be if you could remember all the things they made you do and the… you know…torture." He said cautiously, Cammie sighed and looked down at the scars on her wrists. How can your parents do that? She had asked herself this so many times but she ended up getting too angry and she had to go shooting… Unfortunately, that part of headquarters was closed today so she went for deep breathing instead.
"Shall we change the subject?" Martin tried and it was Cammie's turn to try and smile.
"So I hear Solomon is going to be here next Saturday, want to try and sneak out and visit him some how?" She asked. She had always heard stories of Joe Solomon being whispered around the halls. All the things he'd done and how impossible they seemed, Cam was amazed by him and had always wanted to meet him, but whenever she had started to ask Catherine, her mentor had snapped about him having better things to do and refused but Cameron was determined to meet him one day.
"Well…I don't know, It's just…It's a bit.. A bit…" He struggled rubbing the back of his neck.
"A bit what?" Cameron asked with a smile fairly certain she knew where it was going.
"A bit risky." he finished as Cammie had suspected "And what if he-" Martin started but Cam cut him short.
"What if he tells on us?" she teased and rolled her eyes as she opened another door. "Look they wouldn't do anything worse than something else we've been threw and besides…" She shrugged , taking another sip of her drink. "What's the point in life if you're not going to break the rules every now and then?" she asked , waggling her eyebrows and Martin laughed but rolled his eyes.
"This isn't something you should joke about Cameron, The answers No." He said and Cam didn't try to hide the disappointment as she sighed and said.
"Fine Mr. Abrams… But next time!" she warned pointing at him as her hand found the knob of the door she was so used to entering by now.
"Okay , I've gotta go, Sanders is expecting me and 'one must never disappoint ones elders'" he said as if quoting a code , which in fact he was. Cameron waved him away and watched him go thinking about the only boy her age in this place. Well…there was one other. She hadn't seen him for years now and she had never spoken to him but the memory was still sewn into her brain.
When she was younger she would always catch glimpses of a sorry looking boy with dark hair. She hadn't seen him for years now and from all Cameron could tell nobody else had either. She had asked Catherine about him once but the look she had got was one she never wanted to be on the other side of again. And she certainly didn't want to hurt her masters feelings.
She turned the knob of the door and walked in to see Catherine Goode herself standing at her desk as she threw something into her desk draw. Maybe it was Just Cammie's imagination or maybe it was just because she had been thinking about the dark haired boy that she could of sworn it was a picture of him she had thrown in there.
"Cameron dear! Take a seat!" She said sweetly and Cammie obliged by throwing down her gym bag and taking a seat at the oversized arm chair in front of the desk.
"M&M?" she asked offering her a bag and Cameron shacked her head a little too vigorously as the music bleared up inside her again.
"Every mans for himself." Catherine shrugged popping a handful in her mouth. Before either could say anything more the phone rang and Catherine jumped to sit on the desk as she picked up and answered.
"Hello?" She asked with a wink at Cammie telling her she shouldn't be long ,and Cammie tried to drown out the conversation as it progressed.
"Oh Hello Victor…No, No…Bugger! You've got to be kidding me! Well tell Joe to come tomorrow then." She said and at this Cam's ears pricked up. Tomorrow? He was coming Tomorrow? She couldn't see how it made any difference really but the fact that the living legend was going to be on her doorstep made her stop and think that she could meet him as long as it was soon. It was a stupid thought, but she clung to it anyway.
"Well I don't fucking care what they say do I? just get him here!" she snapped before hanging up the phone and smiling warmly at Cameron.
"Joe? As in Joe Solomon? Is he getting here tomorrow instead then?" she asked eagerly grabbing the sides of her chair and leaning forward.
"Yes it is ,and No you can't meet him." Catherine sighed with a smile as she walked to the fridge and got two cans of pop out and she threw one at Cameron.
"Why not?" she whined sounding like a spoiled brat as she caught the can.
"Cameron dear, a man like Joe Solomon has more important things to do." She practically cooed.
But the thing with being raised by the circle means you can tell when the circle are lying to you and everything about Catherine had shown that the excuse that was given wasn't the real one. And Cameron thought this was a pretty lame excuse anyway but didn't say anything. She was almost 18 it wasn't like she was going to make a fool of her self.
Catherine must have read some of this on her face because she put down the can and pulled her into a hug.
"Oh honey, don't take it to heart." she said as she stroked her hair. "I promise you that you can meet him one day just not tomorrow."
But Cammie knew better than to believe that. every time she said that and yet here she was being denied again. There must be another reason for her not being able to see her idol and she was going to find out what. And If Martin and Catherine disagreed well tuff on them! She'd find a way to see him tomorrow no matter what. So Cameron just shook her head as if she agreed and understood like a good little liar.
Okay well I hope you enjoyed the start of this story and please review!
