Chapter 4 – Eavesdroppers Beware
It had been 4 days since I got here, so I had 3 days left. But I left at the start of the last day after I have 'revealed' myself. So in reality I only had about 2 days left. Time to put my plan for the bugs the boys put in my room into action. The bell rung signalling that school was over. As I walked back to my room I glanced around the halls of Blackthorne. I felt too many eyes on me which made me uncomfortable, but I wasn't myself, so I had to just suck it up.
When I got back to my room I pulled out my phone and texted Macey:
To: Macey
From: Cammie
Hey :) Sorry haven't talked in a while, tell the girls I'll be calling round about 8:30 tonight to fill them in on all the goss! Btw there are bugs in my room from the boys and you 3 will be on speaker phone so don't forget to call me Kate!
Ttyl,
Cammie/Kate
P.S we are all friends from the exchange
I sent that off then, got stuck into the ungodly amount of homework that the teachers had given us. Got to love high school!
-Time Skip-
I was sitting across from Joel at dinner, and we were arguing about who would win in a fight between 'Michael Westen' from 'Burn Notice' and 'Annie Walker' from 'Covert Affairs'.
"No way would Michael win! I mean have you seen Annie fight, she is a pure bred of the spy world"
"Yeah right! Michael would never lose to anyone, let alone a girl" the whole dining went quiet. Oh no, he did not just go there!
"Excuse me?" I said, shooting him a death glare.
"You heard me, like he or anyone would lose to a girl!" he yelled. I snapped. I picked up my plate and threw it at his head as hard as I could. He ducked just in time, when he came back up he was smirking.
"See told you"
I launched myself from my seat across the table and tackled him to the ground. He was on the ground and I was on top of him. Joel tried to push me off but instead I pushed off with my legs so I was doing a hand stand on his shoulders. My legs kept going over and flipped him over my head. He landed on the ground with a groan but I wasn't done. I grabbed his arm and flung him into the wall. I heard a crack and I didn't see a mark on the wall. It must have been his rib, good!
"Now listen here Mr Slater, do not underestimate what I or any other girl can do. If you think you can mess with us and get away with it, you couldn't be more wrong. If you play with our hearts you will pay" I turned and looked Zach straight in the eyes "and if you ignore us. We will move on" I looked back at Joel who had now managed to stand up "That's what Cammie did, and if some of you aren't careful I know that's what 2 other girls at Gallagher will do" colour drained from Grant and Jonas' faces "but most of all, you mess with one of us you mess with us all whether we are from Gallagher or not. Is that clear Mr Slater?" I didn't wait for an answer; I turned and stalked out of the dining hall. Cammie would not have done that, good thing I wasn't Cammie then. Lucky I was Kate Rogers.
-Time Skip-
It was 8:30, time to call the girls. I pulled out my phone and called Macey:
Bold = Bex
Italics = Liz
Underline = Macey
Normal = Cammie
"Hey guys! How are you? You are on speaker by the way"
"We have been great! So how is Blackthorne?"
"Why don't you just ask her how Grant is?" I heard Liz giggle.
"What about you, we all know you want to know how Jonas is Liz" the giggling stopped.
"Awww Lizzie that is sooooo cute!"
"Shut up Kate"
"Are you going to tell us what is going on there or what?"
"Ok, ok well….." then I went through and told them everything that has happened in the past 4 days. I mean everything (except about the bugs of course). They all cheered when I told them about Joel.
"Good job girlfriend! But why did you go easy on him?"
"Bex! I didn't want to cripple the guy, a broken rib was enough". It was then that I decided to break the news about Kevin to Zach through the bugs of course.
"Cammie has been really quiet, where is she?" I knew the girls knew what I was doing.
"Oh well she convinced her mom to let her out of school to go on another date with Kevin"
"Have you told Zach that Cammie is going out with your brother yet?"
"No, I don't see why I have to, I mean didn't he like kiss her and then totally ditch her for like 6 months?"
"Yeah, but he still deserves to know" Liz was too nice for her own good sometimes.
"I kind of implied she had moved on multiple times, and you guys said he was smart so he should've gotten it bye now. Speaking of smart, did you guys know Grant is like the exact opposite?"
"Back off Kate, you don't want to go down that road with me" this is exactly what I wanted, Bex to admit her feelings for Grant. This time he could here it.
"Oh don't I British Bombshell" I could here Liz and Macey snickering in the background "what is he going to know? He's got the brawn sure, but what use is that without a brain to use it? I don't what you see in him"
"Listen here Kate Elizabeth Rogers, what I see in Grant is a caring, sweet, cute and gorgeous guy, so don't you go around dissing my man unless you don't want to walk straight any more!" Yes! That is exactly what I wanted to here.
"Thanks for clearing that up Bex, umm Mace you did tell Bex about the text I sent right?" I was smiling so big.
"Must of slipped my mind to tell Bex, Liz knows though. Here Bex maybe you should read this"
"You are going to get it Kate!" I heard Liz laugh; I joined in to when I heard Bex gasp at the realization that there were bugs in the room.
"Kate….oh my god… I can't believe" I was on the floor now holding my sides.
"Sorry guys but I got to go, say hi to Cammie and Kevin for me, bye!" With that I hung up. I wiped a tear from my eye. Time to here the boy's reactions to all of that. I slipped in my ear piece and walked to the bathroom, that way if I started laughing again they wouldn't here me and think I have gone crazy.
Zach's POV
I pulled out the ear piece, threw it at the ground and then started to jump up and down on it. I looked around the room, Jonas looked slightly sad because Liz didn't ask about him, Joel was holding an ice-pack to his cracked rib and Grant had this goofy smile on his face that had been there since Bex had defended him. Me well, I was kind of pissed.
"She has a knew boyfriend? And it's Kate's brother!" I yelled
"I'm sorry man really" Grant said.
"Yeah it will be alright" Jonas added. Joel just groaned.
"No it won't. Tomorrow I'm going to find all about Kevin and then get Cammie back, no matter what it takes" then I went and flicked off the lights and stomped to bed.
Cammie's POV
He thought he could win me back? He had one day to find out as much as he could about Kevin and he was trying to get it out of me. Let the games begin!
