Hey guys, thanks so much for the emails, sorry about the hold up. hope you guys like it xxx
I woke with a start – my breathing was heavy, still coming to terms with what I had just dreamt about. Looking around my roommates was still asleep, or at least pretending to be; I didn't really care. I was hungry, so I took a shower got dressed, it was precisely 8:45.
I headed down the grand hall, grabbed my breakfast and took a seat on a deserted table – I had no intention of answering questions of my whereabouts at this time. Out of the corner of my eye I saw my mom and Zach talking to each other, they seemed to be in a deep conversation.
Seeing Zach eyeing my table I decided to make a break for it – I wasn't ready to talk to him, even though I had promised to. Grabbing my last piece of toast I rushed passed him, he opened his mouth to say something but I just smiled and carried on walking out the hall, giving my mom a 'hello' as I walked past her.
As I turned the corner into the hall of history, I bumped into something broad and tall,
"Sorry", I muttered as I stepped back to look at Zach.
"Gallagher girl" he said firmly, I looked up at his face; only to see that it was smooth and hard, his eyes looked angry. I exhaled and looked down at my feet, guiltily.
"Cam", he whispered I looked up, surprised by the sudden change in the tone of his voice. He just stared at me, like he was looking for something. But then, CODE RED, CODE RED, CODE RED; a voice chimed. "Great" I muttered biting into my toast…
I ran down the grand staircase, with Zach following a few steps behind me. Reaching the entrance to the hall I stopped.
"Cammie, oh thank god, I thought it was the circle, but then they found that boy and..." Liz babbled.
"Wow, wow Liz calm down, Liz!" I said shutting her up. "What happened? Bex?"
" Well we were just in the middle of eating our breakfast, then all of a sudden there's code red, everyone starts panicking and the next thing you know Mr Smith and Professor Buckingham are dragging some guy - who looked pretty hot by the way- up the staircase" Bex exhaled and Macey raised her eyebrows.
"I'll go see what's going on" I said whilst heading back up the staircase towards my mom's office. Bursting through the door, Mr Smith and Mr Solomon were holding the boy down whilst my mom stood with her hands on her desk and Professor Buckingham stood watching cautiously. "Mom, what's going on what happened?"
"Cammie?" the boy said.
"Ethan", I said confused "how are you?"
"I've been better", he said eyeing Mr Solomon
"Mom, its okay I know him, he's a friend of mine" though Mr Solomon didn't let go.
"It's okay Joe" Mr Solomon released his grasp on Ethan -he then got up and brushed himself and walked over to me. He unexpectedly gave me a bear tight hug and whispered,
"I've been so worried; it's good to see your ok. You are ok aren't you?" he released me.
"Yeah, I'm fine Ethan, thanks" I assured him.
"You didn't see her again after we split up, did you?" he asked
"No, she must have missed me" I replied, he smiled. Someone cleared their throat; I turned round seeing it was Zach. "Ethan this is my mom, Mr Solomon, Professor Buckingham, Mr Smith and Zach", I said whilst pointing to each person.
"Nice to meet you all" he said
"So what's new?" I asked
"Nothing much, just being trying to find away to get here, for the past two days" he said huskily, I looked at him cautiously, there was something more – I could see it in his eyes.
"You must be hungry do you want to eat something?" I said trying to defuse the tension as Mr Solomon was on edge.
"Yeah, that'd be great", I looked at my mom reassuringly, and then turned for the door.
"Cammie" I winced and turned back to look at my mom, "I want details ASAP"
"Sure, later though" I said as my mom began to glare. I walked out the door with Ethan, Zach was following shortly behind.
"We need to talk" Ethan whispered under his breath.
"Got it", I whispered back.
"Cammie" Zach shouted. I stopped and Ethan did the same. "Where are you going?"
"Nice to meet you" Ethan held his hand out, but Zach ignored his gesture. He was about to speak when the bell rang for first period.
"Cammie, you can't just bring strangers into Gallagher, not without telling your mom" he said whilst glaring at Ethan.
"In case you missed, Ethan came here on his own, I didn't bring him! And he's not a stranger he's a friend" I hissed.
"Yeah, well he shouldn't know about Gallagher"
"Neither should you!"
"Cameron!" I turned round to see my mom with her hands on her hips.
"Mom", I said
"Get to class" she said firmly
"But, I..."
"This can wait till later, your friends would be worried, he'll be fine, now go" she repeated. I turned to look at Ethan. "Now Cameron"
"I'll be fine" Ethan said and he put his hand on my shoulder reassuringly.
"Ok, see you later Ethan, mom" I nodded at her. I walked to my COW class angrily, Zach at my side.
"I don't trust him", he said wearily.
"You don't know him, what he's done…" My voice trailed off. I walked into the classroom, Zach didn't say anything to me for the rest of the day, and he just watched me, frustrated.
