Chapter Four
Solomon POV
On Our Way to Gallagher Academy
I sat in the back of the car waiting to arrive to Gallagher. Cammie had rested her head on my lap and fallen asleep as always in hour into the drive. We lived four hours away from the academy and it was a relaxing ride when theres no traffic of course. But unlike Cammie I've never fallen asleep. "Mr. Hopkins how far away are we?"
"About a half an hour"
"Okay thanks"
"Your welcome"
Half hour away great. I stroked Cammie's hair, half hour away from her knowing the truth. I sighed remembering when Rachel found out she was pregnant with her. Boy was she unhappy and Chris didn't make it any better. After that they decided they were going to have her adopted. I wasn't happy with them, I didn't want someone to raise. Especailly when I didn't know what woud happen to her. If she was going to be okay, if someone was going to come after her cause of who her birth parents were, or if she was going to be going to a normal home.
After a month she was born no one had taken her in and her parents still didn't think they were ready. Thier excuse was "we're spies we know how to crack codes not care for a child". So you know what i did i adopted her obviously and raised not on my own of course. Abby halped too, she like me didn't want to give up her niece to a total stranger. I chuckled remebering when Abby the only person from Cammie's real family that stayed with her. Came to my house.
It was the day I became Cammie's leagal parent. I walked in with baby Cammie in my arms, and someone was in my house. Now to this day I don't know how she got in but when I stepped into that living room there was Abagail Cameron sitting causally on my couch.
"Um hi" I had said confused.
"Hey Joe" she got up from the couch "hey cammie". Abby took her from my arms and started rocking her.
I looked at my empty arm and than at Abby being motherly to her niece. "What you doing here?"
She looked at me with the 'duh' look. "Did you actually think I would let you raise my niece by yourself?" she asked and looked back at Cammie. I didn't say anything. "So are you going to raise her into a spy?"
I nodded "I should if she ever gets into trouble at least she might know why"
"Would you ever tell her the truth about her parents"
"Someday"
I guess somedays now. The momment of truth when we stepped inside those walls of Gallagher and both saw Rachel Morgan for the first time in fifteen years.
"Cammie wake up we're here" I said trying to wake her up, damn why did she have to be a deep sleeper. "Cammie!" I shouted.
She got up quickly "huh... I'm up" she yawned and laid back down. "Just give me five more minutes"
"No now come on" I said getting out of the car. Walked behind the car and got our stuff out of the trunk.
Cammie finally got out and grabbed her things and headed inside.
When I got inside there was a woman that I hadn't seen in years standing by the stairs greeting all the students. She dark black hair and deep green eyes. She must've spotted me and Cammie 'cause she was looking at us like we were ghost. She straighed up when Cammie came up to her, they shook hands "hi I'm Rachel Morgan the new headmistress" she smiled
"Cameron Solomon" they let go but Rachel was still looking at her.
I swung my bag over my shoulder and put my arm around Cammie's shoulder "hey why don't you go unpack, I'll see you during the annoucments"
"Okay" she hugged me and left.
When she was earshot away Rachel mumbled "she's beautiful"
"She gets it from her mother"
Rachel bit her lip and looked away.
"Rachel, I need to speak with you" I said.
She looked back at me "okay but after the announcements"
"Okay" I walked up the stairs with my things leaving her to greet Tina and Anna.
