A/N: Here you go! Let me know what you think…
"Cam? Are you alright?" My friends were beginning to worry about me. To be completely honest, I had forgotten they were still on the phone.
"Yea, I'm fine." I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This was the boy that had haunted my dreams every time I closed my eyes. And he was standing with a boy that I had just left. How was that possible? My eyes were drawn to the lower left corner of the photo. There, on the corner of Matt's shirt, was a tiny crest. It was the same crest that I had seen so many times before. "Liz, did you check Blackthorne's database for any info on Matt?"
"No, they must have tightened their security cause my search apparently didn't cover it. Hold on."
"What did you see, Cam?" Bex asked.
"Check out the very bottom left corner, there is a tiny crest on Matt's shirt. Look familiar to you?" My heart started beating faster.
"He goes to Blackthorne!" Bex, Macey and Lix exclaimed instantaneously.
I rolled out of bed an hour before my alarm was set to go off. I hadn't slept well all night. I couldn't help but think about Zach. And Matt. And Blackthorne. And the fact that one of Matt's friends was coming today. Wait. His friend was coming TODAY!
I threw on some clothes and made my way to the kitchen. Like always, my grandma was sitting at the table, sipping her tea. "Well, good morning Cammie. You're up early."
"Yea, I guess I just couldn't sleep anymore." I smiled as I took a seat. My grandma had always been an early riser.
"Well, this is a surprise." My grandpa patted my head as he made his way towards the head of the table. "Good morning sweetheart." He exchanged a look with my grandma and then they both turned to me.
"Your grandfather and I were thinking. Maybe it would be nice for one of your friends to come and stay for a little while. I mean, if that's alright with you."
What? Did my grandparents just tell me that I could have a friend over? "Well, we talked to your mother and she said that it sounded like a wonderful idea," My grandpa took a long sip of his coffee. "Actually, she already made plans for one of your friends to come. What did she say her name was?"
"Rebecca? Does that sound right?" My grandma was smirking behind her tea cup.
"Bex! What? When does she get here?" I couldn't believe it. I had just talked to her last night. How could she have not said anything? Unless she didn't know either. "When did you and my mom talk about this?"
"Yesterday, when you were at the Miller's. And she will be arriving in about, four hours."
"Cammie!" Bex was running down the driveway, her bags left in a heap by the car.
"I can't believe you're actually here. In Nebraska." I gave my best friend a hug. "When did you find out?"
"Right after I got off the phone with you actually. My parents walked into my bedroom and handed me a plane ticket. I got up early and got on the plane and here I am!" She laughed at the look on my face.
"Come on, let's get your bags inside."
30 MINUTES LATER
"So, tell me about this Matt. I already know what he looks like, but what else?" We were sitting on my bed after getting all of her stuff unpacked in the guest bedroom.
"Well, we kinda grew up together, being neighbors and all. And we were best friends. Until he and his parents moved away. And that was the same time I started going to Gallagher. I hadn't seen him until yesterday at his grandparent's."
"Well, that's interesting. Even in all of the summers you've spent here, you've never seen him. Even just passing by?" She looked at the picture that was pulled up on the laptop's screen.
"Not even once." And I felt a pang of regret at that. I wish I would have seen him more often, kept in touch.
"And when will I get to meet this Matt?" I could tell my friend was smiling even without looking at her.
"Grandpa said that I could have today off, since you are here and Matt's friend is there. So officially you will meet him tomorrow."
"What about unofficially? Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?" Bex wouldn't have been able to keep the excitement out of her voice even if she tried.
"Well, it is only noon. And we really have no where to be until dinner," I looked over at Bex. Her smile was just as big as mine. "So, maybe we could put our spy training to good use and go check out the neighbor's grandson and his mysterious friend…"
