I woke up the next day feeling quite odd. I don't know why, I just felt different. I had no idea if it was the pounding headache I had or I feeling slightly dizzy. But I just slacked it off and started to get prepared for school.
When I got downstairs Mum and Dad were eating breakfast. They both sat there in silence as they ate the two pieces of cooked bread on their plates. I wondered if their silence was too sudden or just silence.
I knew that is was the first of the two options, because they were passing weird glances, as if they were talking telepathically to each other. This is the first that I had ever seen them do this, but I knew that they were keeping secrets from me and I didn't like one bit of it.
When I got on the school bus I felt all eyes on me. It was quite discomforting actually. I looked to every single person as I passed them before walking to my seat in the middle of the bus. I thought I saw Josh smirking in his seat, but I just shrugged it off.
Our bus drive to school is approximately 23 mins and all those 23 minutes I sit there with my earphones in listening to really good current songs. But today, I didn't bother to get my altered iPhone out of my bag, because when I bent down I was drowned in dizziness and when I perked my head back up, the world span for a few seconds before returning its normal state.

School wasn't any different either; I felt dizzy and had the worst headache ever. That's when I knew this wasn't the cut on my head; it had to be something else. It was an unnatural feeling and felt, wrong almost.
Throughout the day it only got worse, I started to walk in curvy lines and sometimes into walls, I had a lot of mental blanks and I started to feel ill every now and then. At lunch I was going to go to the nurse, like my friends told me to, but I had quite a bit of trouble getting off the red bench I had been sitting on.
Every time I'd try to stand up, I'd just fall back down again. After about 50 failed times of getting up and down, Lucy grabbed my hand and helped me get on my feet. Slowly and carefully, I started to walk to the door, stopping when I got really dizzy.
I was almost at the mahogany doors of the school when I got really dizzy. My legs started to feel like jelly and started to wobble, causing my whole body to do the same. Then everything started to spin, the oval and the students all one big smudge of colour before my eyes.
Then, my legs collapsed and I fell, my whole body shutting down. I could hear the faint noise of my friends calling my name, before the whole world turned black.

I woke up in a completely unfamiliar room. I had cold, thin sheets on me and I was wearing a gown of the same pattern. I blinked a couple of times and looked around, I saw Mum and Dad sitting on the couch talking in hushed voices.
"It seems wrong Zach. I'm taking advantage of you and I don't know if I can even trust you anymore." Mum told Dad looking at him with her big blue eyes of hers.
"Gallagher girl, you want to get back into the CIA right?" Mum nodded, "Marrying me is the only way that can be done, unless you want to go through that entire 'are you trustworthy' test. If I were you, I'd just marry me. It's not like I'm a part of the circle or anything."
That's why they'd been having all those hushed conversations in the kitchen. I finally understood the true meaning of this rushed marriage, Mum needed to get back into the CIA and Dad could help her. With all of those dates that she used to go on she was always a fan of 'taking it slow', there was absolutely no way she would agree to something this fast. Ever.
Then, Mum looked over at me and her expression instantly changed. One moment she was concerned and the next she was happy.
"Sam! How long have you been awake?" She asked me giving me a hug.
"Not long." It was a very dirty lie and I knew she'd pick it up, but she didn't, she kept looking at me with the fake smile on her face.
"What happened? Why did I faint?"
Mum sighed and her smile faded back into that concerned face. "Emily swapped her Mum's pills in her bag and she gave one to you. They were to poison someone, I highly doubt it would be you though, you guys get along great."
She still doesn't get it! She doesn't get that Emily hates me and her. She doesn't want us here and I can't believe that with all the observation skills Mum has, she still hasn't noticed.
In the corner of my eyes I could see Dad rolling his eyes. He was the smart one here. I was really happy with that though, I finally had an adult that understood me and it felt great.
That's ten chapters! How exciting. I would just like to thank all the readers and especially the reviewers, subscribers and favouriters (that is so not a word but it will be for now).
Don't forget to review! Usually it makes me want to write more and regret not updating regularly.
