Bex was literally buzzing with excitement when we entered our room. Macey was grinning and Liz looked like she was planning 1000 different possibilities in her head all at once whilst cross checking them. Out of all 4 of us I felt the least excited about planning something forbidden. As I sat on my bed, I leaned against the headboard and figured the locket around my neck. I looked out the window and day dreamed. Mostly about Zach and every time he was close. I sighed and relaxed into my memories.
I didn't know how long had past but the room felt silent so I opened my eyes. I heard someone clear their throat so I turned. All 3 of my best friends were staring at me.
"Yes sleeping beauty. Sorry but your prince got lost so we had to wake you up."
"I wasn't sleeping," I replied to Bex. "I was day dreaming with my eyes closed." She shook her head and turned her attention back to the paper scattered around my roommates. I edged myself off the bed to join them.
"So," Bex started. "As the rest of us haven't seen the guy that was with your mother, care to share details on his appearance?" I replayed the scene in my head. I was reading the newspaper, keeping an eye on the door. My mother entered with the man behind her.
"He was in his later 20's early 30's. Average build, short brown hair and brown eyes." I recalled Jo's first lesson. Notice things. I played and played the whole café scene in my head. Their convocation.
"He liked chess. Mum talked about another of his chess games." There was something else I was missing. Every time I thought I had it, it seemed to slip away. So when I imagined the scene again I focused on him. Body language, eye movements, facial expressions. Anything. His walk, it seemed way too casual for someone going to discuss a threat to the school. When he was walking in, a slightly smirk never left his face. When mum's head was turned he yawned like he was just going through motions.
I looked my roommates in turn.
"He was acting like a double agent who didn't mind getting caught. Like it was a plan in his game." I sighed. I should have seen this coming really. It seemed almost inevitable something like this would happen. Just our luck eh?
"Well," Macy said. I turned my head and looked at her "Maybe we should get that boy of yours and ask him what he knows." I sighed and nodded.
"I guess we have to. We can't really tail the man if we don't know where he lives or goes during the day…" I sighed again. "Why can't we leave it guys? My mother said not to interfere, and I honestly don't want to betray her… again. And remember that summer when I ran away and came back really different? What if that happened again, to all of us?" I looked at them in turn but they all bowed their heads not daring to look in my eyes.
"Well then Gallagher girl. Me and Jo here will just have to save your girly buts if you get into trouble now wont we?" I looked up to see Jo smirking as well as Zach. My friends looked up as well but Bex just turned to me with that look like she was already planning ahead.
A/N: So my friends… it's been awhile hasn't it? Recently I've been working on the iron fey fan fiction (check that out? Seriously Iron fey is awesome and it should be more popular, just saying.) So whilst I wait for my friend to write her chapters I'll write this story. So I have been writing longer chapters so I am capable of it I just don't actually plan this story out well. I seem to get one bit then get writers block sort off so I think that's why these chapters are short. But hopefully I can improve and have a good think about where this is going. Now I'm rambling so see you in next chapter. Review?
