"What'd she say?" I asked.
"I couldn't hear over you two." I dropped down with a sigh.
No way could I act like nothing happened. Not when I only got half of a story. Here's what I was interested in: Josh, Solomon, pissed, killed, JOSH, love. Really? How can I go to sleep with those words swirly around my mind? I don't remember falling asleep, but when I woke up, I felt just as tired as last night.
I was dreading to see Cammie even more than usual. For starters, I was afraid I would blurt out all the questions I had about what happened last semester. And the… other thing she said about me… You know, that she loved me? How was I supposed to pretend I didn't hear that? I put on my uniform absentmindedly. Somehow I managed to go through my whole routine and was ready to go before either of my roommates. Not waiting for them, I walked slowly down to the breakfast hall. When I got there, I saw Macey, Bex and Liz sitting in their usual spots. No Cammie. I went to them.
"Hey, guys. Where's Cammie?" I asked, afraid of the answer.
They exchanged glances. "We don't know," Bex finally answered. "Haven't seen her since last night." My brows furrowed.
"She got really mad at us and left," Macey said.
"She didn't come back last night," added Liz.
"What happened?" I asked, even though I already knew (halfway knew, but still).
Bex and Macey looked down at the table. Liz stared at them before turning back to me. "Well… It's kind of personal…" She looked like she wanted me to understand, but didn't want to be the school gossip.
I think I just gave myself an idea.
I told them I had to go and scanned the hall. Easily, I found Tina Walters, gossip extraordinaire. I put on my sexiest smirk and made my way to her. I sat next to her. She looked pleasantly surprised. I flicked my hair, and her heart beat quickened. If Cam loves me so much, how come that doesn't happen to her?
"Hey, Tina," I said casually.
"Hi, Zach," she said. Note: during this whole conversation, I found little hints at flirting, nothing major. "What can I do for you?"
"I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit about Cammie."
She smiled. "I'll do better." She leaned forward and lowered her voice considerably. "10 PM. Foyer. There will be information."
I blinked. Gossip shouldn't be that serious. But I guess it's not just gossip, huh? Something must have happened that's really good. EVEN FOR A SPY SCHOOL. "Um… thanks?"
"So…" Tina's face took on a sly smile. "Why do you want to know about Cammie?"
I smirked and shook my head, standing up. "Goodbye, Tina."
I heard her say, "Can't blame a girl for trying," as I walked away.
