FRIDAY NIGHT


Cammie's POV

As we're walking down the hallway to the East Wing, we suddenly come to a stop at the strange wall. I say it's strange because it's different from the other one's on this floor. When I mean different, it's not the type of different that stands out, it's the type that's made to blend in. This specific wall that I'm staring at (this very moment,) is 3% paler than all the other walls. There's got to be a meaning for that. I even got in an argument with Macey during sophomore year that there had to be a reason. Obviously Liz was on my side and we won the argument but still... Maybe Zach knows.

"So..." I begin to say when I notice we've been standing in front of the wall for about 1 minute. "Are we just going to stare at this wall for the rest of the night or is there something very specific about this particular wall that you wanted to show me?" I said as I reach out to touch the wall. "Technically it's morning..." says Zach. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him. He smiles at me. "And yes there is something VERY specific about this wall that I wanted to show you." He said by showing me his famous I-know-something-you-don't-know smile again for the 2nd time this morning.

We stand there staring at each other for about another one minute until I blink. Zach smirks at me and I say "So what is it that you wanted to show me?" "This." And he shows me.

Zach's POV

I leaned against the wall exactly where I leaned on it about an hour ago. It moved and revealed the same small hallway I saw. Everything was exactly where it was before meaning that no one else has been there.

Cammie gasped and her eyes widened as she said "Is this... Gilly's..." Then she ran inside to find the answer to her question. I closed the door way/ wall and followed her because I really wasn't sure what she was talking about.

"NO WAY!" She said and I ran because I wasn't sure if it was positive or negative. When I got to the small room with furniture at the end of the hallway, Cammie had a really big map of something on the table. It was the school's map. This one wasn't an ordinary one though. It was a map of the school's secret passage ways. Wow, I should have searched the room first! I thought. Oh well too late now, but at least I learned from my mistakes.

Cammie's POV

"Do you have any idea how long I've been looking for this room?" I ask him because he's Zach and well... he knows everything. "For a very long period of time." he says and I smile because he's right. I've been looking for this place ever since the very first time I went into the passageway that lead to my mom's office. I overheard her talking with one of the school trustee's about finding Gilly's secret room. That was sophomore year and now I'm half way through my Senior year. I have accomplished something that they haven't.

"Zach, How did you find this place?" I ask hoping he'll tell me. "I leaned up against that wall over there." He says while pointing to where we entered from. "When?" " Before I showed you." I push him towards the couch. He smiles before he says "Hey what was that for?" "For not showing me sooner." I say as anger starts building up inside of me. "Gallagher Girl to be perfectly honest with you, I found this room 15 minutes before I woke you up." I look straight into his eyes when he says this to make sure he's not lying. My anger fades as I realize that there are no visible signs of him lying.

I sit next to him and study him. Then I close my eyes because his warm arms are around me while we kiss in the middle of the night.


Bex's POV

"Oh when I get my hands on Cammie in P&E I'm gonna make sure she pays the bloody right price!" I say to Macey and Liz because they're staring at me like I'm crazy. "What?" I say defensively and look at them straight in the eye. "She never told us where she was going and she's been gone for over an hour!" I'm still getting the same face expression so I add "What if she tries to run away again?"

This changes their face expressions and relaxes me. Right when I'm about to repeat the question, Macey said "Then she'll take us with her." I'm about to object when Liz says "Guys, there's no reason for her to leave if she got the answers to her questions. Besides, it's Senior year and she's not going to miss out on this once in a life time opportunity to be a Senior here at Gallagher." I take Liz's words and let them wonder around in my head. "Yeah Liz is right," said Macey and I look at her because I know what's she's going to say next. "Especially since Zach comes here now." I sigh and imagine what it would be like if Grant could stay here for a whole year.

Macey's POV

One look at Bex and I know she wants a guy in her life. Her sigh proves it.

"Sooo... Bex." I say breaking the silence I couldn't bear much longer. She looks at me as if she knows whats coming. Bex is about to say something so I say "Rumor has it that you still miss a certain someone that goes by the name... Grant." Liz gasps quietly and Bex glares at me as if trying to tell me "You're going to pay in P&E too!" Since no one says anything I take advantage by continuing with my favourite topic, Boys. "Is that... true Bex?" Liz asks in an innocent voice.

Actually it's a little too innocent for Liz. Maybe she misses Jonas just like I miss non of those ugly guys from Blackthorne.

Bex stays silent as if trying to decide whether to tell us now or wait until we pry the info out of her. I guess she decided now because she responded by saying "Ugh..." And then I couldn't help it, because Bex's face went a dark shade of red. "I KNEW IT!" I pretty much yelled, to wake up all the girls in the school to let them know that something's going on at 2:35 am. "How did you know though?" asks Bex. I roll my eyes as if it's nothing although deep down inside it's actually through years of experience. "I know loneliness when I see it." I responded to Bex. Before she could ask me what that meant, I turned to Liz and told her "Don't worry I didn't forget about you Liz." She looked up from the book she was "studying" from. I took a chance and continued. "I know you still miss Jonas." And that's when I got her wide-eyed reaction. I was right.

Liz's POV

I can't believe she figured that out. Yeah we're spies and that's what spies do but still, she got that answer from hearing my innocent sounding voice!

"Um..." I say because for once I'm unsure if I might actually spill too many beans. "Spill it!" says Bex obviously happy that Macey was done with her. I turned to look at Macey. Her eyes are telling me that if I don't tell her now, She'll ask for more than she needs to know.

"Fine." I confess. "I still like him and think of him every night." Oopsy Daisy I thought. Too much information for them to know. "You liked him?" Bex says with a mischievous smile scrawling across her face. "Kinda..." I say, scared of what Macey is going to say next. Great, here it comes. "Oh really? Does that explain why your face has gone bright red since we started talking about Jonas?" Macey said and spy training or not, my hands instantly flew to my face as if to cover it. I was officially embarrassed. Wow... I think to myself. Why can't I have the knowledge of Boys?

Macey was just about to say something 42% worst than what she just asked me when we all heard the silent voices at the end of the hallway. A normal civilian wouldn't hear these familiar voices because they were talking just loud enough for a spy to hear. We all give each other one last look before we jump into bed pretending we've been sleeping the whole time she was gone from our sight.
