Circus by Britney Spears
Two black helicopters landed on the front lawn of Blackthorne. Waiting twenty feet away were six Gallagher Girls, with looks of determination. Once the helicopters had safely landed, Tina and Anna each carried two black bags over to them. Tina put her two bags in one helicopter while Anna the other one. They nodded at Cammie before both climbing into the second helicopter.
"All right Bex, Liz, and Macey go get on the first helicopter. I'm going to-" Cammie said, but was cut off by a familiar voice.
"Did you really think we were going to let you do this alone, Gallagher Girl?" Zach said.
The four of us turned to see Zach, Jonas, Grant, and four other boys approaching us. Zach was of course smiling cockily.
"Well I hope you won't be disappointed to hear that we were expecting you to come," I said.
I reached into my pocket and threw a small object to Zach. He caught it easily and smiled at me.
"Comms?" he asked.
"Well it's not for you. You, Grant, and Jonas are riding in the first helicopter with us. So give it to one of the other four that will be riding in the second one." I said and began walking to the helicopter but stopped and turned back to face him.
"Oh and make it quick, we're kind of in a hurry Blackthorne boy," I said smiling and then climbed into the helicopter. I was followed by Macey, Bex, and Liz who were smiling and fighting back a laugh at the obviousness of Zach and I flirting.
Zach, Grant and Jonas climbed in shortly after us taking seats. I was sitting up front with the pilot, wearing the copilot headset. Zach took a seat in the row behind the pilot which left an open seat next to him. Well I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of sitting by him. Well, at least not yet that is.
I pressed the intercom button and spoke through the headset, which allowed me to talk aloud on both helicopters.
"Welcome everyone to Operation Payback, or OP. Before we take off there are a few regulations we need to go over. First please buckle your seat belt and stay seated until the pilot says it's okay to move about the cabin. Second in case of an emergency the person next to you can be used as a flotation device," I began. I heard everyone behind me laugh.
"Now as you all know OP is a mission to take back Gallagher. Were going into this with no idea how many operatives our enemy could have waiting for us. This could get extremely dangerous and everyone needs to keep their guard up. When we arrive, we're going to meet Solomon and the others just outside of Roseville to regroup. Now, there's only one way into Gallagher during a Code Black and it's not in a very easy to reach place. So after we meet up with the others I'm taking this helicopter and entering alone. If the blue prints we got are correct then I'll end up in the control room hidden behind my mom's office, where I will disengage the Code Black. Hopefully the enemy hasn't found the room yet or the rest of you won't be able to get in," I said losing my joking demeanor and getting down to the seriousness of this all.
"No matter what though, if I give the command you are all to evacuate the mission and get to the helicopters. Fly back to Blackthorne and contact the C.I.A. No coming back for me, no matter what happens," I said.
Everything was silent. I nodded to the pilot who spoke through his headset to the other pilot, and both helicopters began to take flight.
"Chica is everything good over there?" I asked as I took off my headset and spoke through the comms.
"Yea Chameleon, everything is a-go." she said.
"All right I'll check back before we land,"
"Got it," she said and then the comms were silent.
By now the helicopter was well on its way, so I unbuckled and moved to the back.
"Sit down, Gallagher Girl," Zach said.
The serious look he gave me kept me from saying a snappy comeback. Instead I obliged and sat uneasily next to him. Zach was the one person I could ever show my real fear to. Thankfully, our friends were to busy talking or staring out the windows to notice my emotional slip up.
I sank down into the seat next to him and we sat in silence for a few minutes. Then Zach's hand found mine and he squeezed. I side glanced him and saw that he was watching me.
"What?" I asked keeping my voice neutral, incase my emotions caused my voice to give me away.
"If something does go wrong do you really expect me to run like a coward and leave you behind?" he asked.
"Zach you have to. There's no other way. So yes, I do except you to get on a helicopter and leave without turning back," I said.
"I can't... No won't do that Cammie,"
"Zach, I'm not giving you a choice- you will leave me behind if I say to,"
"That's where you're wrong. Cammie, I've already lost my parents... I'm not losing you too," he said looking away from me and out the window,"
"Zach..." I sighed.
He turned back to face me and his free hand came up to caress my cheek.
"I'm not leaving you behind-"
"Zach you ha-" he cut me off.
"So I guess I just have to go with you," he said smiling.
"What! No Zach you can't!" I said.
"Can and will!" he said firmly before leaning down and kissing me.
'Damn! I should have seen that coming. Ugh I fell right into that trap and let him win,' I thought before kissing him back.
We broke apart and he smiled down at me.
"So what do you say, Gallagher girl? Ready to take back your school back, together?" he said putting emphasis on the together part.
"Damn you," I said, except I said it in Farsi instead of English.
Zach just laughed and let go of my hand to instead put his arms around my waist. He pulled me to him so my head was resting on his shoulder. He put his head on top of mine and I wrapped my arms around his waist as well.
We sat there hugging each other both deep in thought. I heard Zach whisper something to me, and was shocked as I translated the Spanish.
"I love you Cammie. Don't worry we'll both get through this together. I promise!"
