"Hey, back off my boyfriend, bitch," Tina snapped. Tina? Seriously, what is her obsession? When did she get here? How did she get here? What was she even doing here? Wait I thought to myself. Why do I even care?
"Excuse me, your boyfriend?" I said in disbelief. "Did you hit your head or something, because last time I checked, Zach was my boyfriend, and the only bitch I see here is you." My mood was not exactly great right now, (as Zach had just left) so I was a bit snappy.
She looked a little hurt by my comment, but continued, "I guess he doesn't like you that much then, because he kissed me. Twice."
"You're so clueless, aren't you?" I said, shaking my head slowly in mock sympathy. "He was only kissing you to make me jealous."
"Well, why would he pick me out of all the girls in this school? It's got to mean something," she said, trying to convince herself more than me.
"He knew it wouldn't take much to make me jealous, so he picked the girl with the lowest status; one that was so desperate for some form of attention from a boy that she wouldn't even mind that she was being used." I smirked devilishly and added, " You didn't mind, did you?" She looked as if she were about to cry, but I didn't show mercy. " I don't think that he ever expected you to go all crazy-stalker chick on him."
" Just wait, Cammie! I'll show you that Zach really loves me!" she cried, running away with tears streaming down her face. Aw, man, what had I done? I'm not that girl, the one that calls everyone else names just to make them feel bad about themselves. The worst thing was, Tina wasn't just another girl on the street, she was my sister.
I sighed as I began to run after her. "Tina!" I yelled, hoping to stop her. " Tina, wait!" I tried again. I sighed, " I have got to make this right," to myself. I sat down on the pale, sun-bleached bench in the gazebo, and began to think of possible ways to make this right. 3 minutes and 27 seconds later, Bex, Liz, and Macey approached me.
"Hey," Bex said, taking a seat next to me. " Do you know what happened to Tina? She was crying really bad."
"Yeah," Liz chimed in. " When we asked her what was wrong she was all, 'Ask your BFF Cammie!'"
Macey paused from sipping her mocha latte and added, " Talk about rude. Crazy chick didn't even stop running when she talked to us; she just yelled from ahead."
"Ahhh," I groaned, cradling my face in my hands. Did Macey really have to word it like that? Call Tina a "Crazy chick", I mean.
"What happened, Cammie?" Liz asked, soothingly rubbing my back.
I sighed, still holding my face in the protection of my palms, too ashamed to face them. " I called her a crazy-stalker chick, because she was all like, ' Get off my boyfriend, bitch!" after I kissed Zach, and I was all like, " Excuse me? Zach's mine," and then she was like, " Oh yeah, then why'd he kiss me?" and then I was all-"
I was cut off by a sharp slap on the cheek. "Cammie," Liz said, looking at me directly in the eyes. I should've known it was Liz, the slap was too mild to have been afflicted by Bex or Macey. "Cammie, calm down."
I heard a raucous noise next to me, so I turned my attention away from Liz to find the cause of this distraction. Bex was literally on the floor laughing.
" Gimme a high five, Cammie," she giggled.
I looked at her, my face colored with confusion. " What?" I asked.
" She deserved it if she tried to steal your man," Macey said, absentmindedly.
" Did she?" I asked, slightly talking to myself. "She is a sister."
"An annoying one," Macey mumbled. We couldn't disagree with that, so we all nodded in agreement.
All sobered up now, Bex said, " Look, if she thinks that she can just go around obsessing over someone else's boyfriend, she is sadly mistaken." Just then, a sly look spread across her beautiful face. " I've got a brilliant idea," she said. We all huddled in as Bex informed us of her incredible plan.
" That's great! Good thinking, Bex," Liz squealed, clapping her hands and jumping up and down.
" Yeah, this'll teach her what happens when she messes with a Gallagher Girl's guy," Macey added, a smile slowly spreading across her face.
I was finally starting to get over my guilt. I mean, she was trying to steal my boyfriend; all I was doing was protecting what was mine. " Let's do this."
~ZC~
" Shh," I hushed Liz, as she ran into a cleaning cart one of the maid's must have left out.
" Oopsie daisies," she whispered. I sighed. Don't get me wrong, I love Liz to death, but when it comes to the actual spy field work, she's not exactly the greatest person to be paired up with. I looked at the clock. 6:15, perfect. Just enough time. I thought.
After hacking into the hotel's directory, we got into "spy mode" (which was kinda full time but you know what I mean), dressed in black from head-to-toe with our comms in ears.
" Come on, guys. Do you wanna make it to the date or not?" I asked rhetorically.
" I'm not even going so what does it matter?" I heard Macey mumble. Maybe I should set her up with someone I thought to myself. Nah, I decided. If she wanted a boyfriend right now, she'd have gotten one.
" Ahh, here it is," I whispered in my comms unit. " Floor 3, left hall." The hotel only had the records of the room numbers, not which floor they were on or anything! I guess that's how it works when you're in a town this small.
After Bex, Liz, and Macey met up with me, Macey, being the lover of theatrics she is, said, " You ready for this?" I'm not exaggerating when I say that we all but trampled over her to get through that door.
" Girls, welcome to Tina-talks-a-lot's suite," I said, slowly examining the room. Man, ours was soo much better than this shack of a room. " Let's get to business."
We began to rummage through the drawers, taking all of the clothes (which were really horrible anyways, so we were, in a way, doing her a favor) that would be decent enough to wear to school. All we left were dirty, raggedy, torn clothes that were wayy too inappropriate for school.
"Nice," Bex complimented.
I thought that some of the guys might actually like what she was wearing ( guys could be such pervs), so I stuffed all of the razors, shaving cream, Nair, and waxing strips I could find into a small bag (insert evil chuckle here).We'll see how much those guys like her when she's furry and exposed.
"You guys done?" I asked, looking at my work.
"Yup. Let's go," Liz said.
We all left the room, walking swiftly and stealthily back to our suite. I noticed a clock in the hall and thought to myself Oh no! The clock read 7:13.
"Hurry up you guys! We're already late!" I whisper-shouted. The other girls had only just realized this as well.
" Aw man!" Bex whined, thickening her British accent. " The guys are going to be very suspicious now." I sighed, knowing the truth of her words.
Once we were safe in our hotel room, we stripped down from our 'spy clothes' and slipped on our 'date clothes'. We quickly looked each other over, making sure we were all just the perfect amount of 'date dressy'. Bex, Liz, and I looked at Macey for the ultimate approval.
After a couple of seconds she said, "You'll do." Good enough for me!
~ZC~
We all walked hurriedly to the movie theater, trying to think up an excuse for being late (but having spies for boyfriends really makes it difficult). As i started for the theater, upon seeing a too-familiar face, I froze. Why why why did I have to choose such a nearby town to have a boyfriend? I internally whined. Oh wait, I didn't have much of a choice. I sighed, Josh.
"What's wrong?" Liz asked me, clearly detecting the sudden change in my mood.
"That's what's wrong," Bex answered, nodding in Josh's direction.
Macey sighed, pulled us by the arms and said, "We don't have time for this." Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that Macey got a boyfriend?! Yup, you read right. His name is Paul-the last name is nothing you need to worry about. Liz and I got up early (we tried to get Bex, but that girl wants her sleep!), knowing Macey wouldn't be awake-"a good night's sleep is essential for beauty and health" she told us- and searched Blackthorne's mainframe for guys that would be right for Macey. Liz called them HURTS (H, Uber-delicious (given!)Rich, Tolerant, and Spy); yeah, she's not the greatest acronym creator in the world ( his name is Grahm Lien, and he's really nice, too if you haven't met him yet), but at least she can make a word with it.
As soon as we reached the curb in front of the movie theater, I tried to blend in, do what I do best. But, try as I may, Josh still saw me.
"Hey, Cammie," he said, as he saw me step onto the curb. He looked like he was happy, being away from the pharmacy and all.
" Hi Josh," I said. Waving my hand in front of me, I added, "I see you managed to free yourself from the pharmacy."
" Yup," he said, smiling hugely. " Dad thought it would be good for me to get a little more well-rounded."
I smiled back and told him, "That's great, Josh." We just stood there for a while, staring at each other until someone interrupted.
"Well, didn't expect to see you here, Jimmy," Zach said, wrapping his arm around my waist, clearly showing Josh that we were still together.
"I work here, Jack," Josh replied coldly. I shot him a look, silently warning, "Be nice." Josh frowned at this, but said, " You guys can head on in. It's on the house."
"Great! Thanks Josh!," I said hurriedly, trying to lead Zach in. I silently wished repeatedly that Zach wouldn't argue and just follow my lead.
Zach sighed and mumbled, "Thanks," as I dragged him into the lobby. I looked at him and smiled, saying "Thank you," with my eyes. In seeing this, he smiled back and tightened his arm around me.
(A/N: im not sure if sum of these movies r still in theaters so if they rnt, just plz pretend they r!)
"Well," Macey announced. "Paul and I are going to see Bride Wars." I could see that this decision didn't exactly please Paul, but I'm pretty sure he was smart enough to know that you do not, in any circumstances, disagree with Macey McHenry.
"Have fun!" Grant chuckled, punching Paul in the shoulder.
"You wanna join them?" Bex asked. Knowing Grant, he was thinking Heck yeah! Chicks fighting! Hot!, but he, like Paul, knew when to keep his mouth shut. "Didn't think so. Now," she said turning to us and linking arms with her boyfriend. "We are going to see My Bloody Valentine." Typical Bex, always has to be some sort of gory action thing.
The two couples went to their separate movies, leaving Liz, Jonas, Zach, and me standing there.
"Well we're off to He's Just Not That Into You," Liz said, swiftly taking Jonas to their movie.
I turned to Zach and asked, "So, what movie do you wanna watch?"
He just smirked, still looking at the board of movies, and said, "Your choice, Gallagher Girl."
" I was thinking Quantum of Solace, you know, the new James Bond movie?"
"So was I," Zach replied, turning towards me, smiling. We walked down the dimly lit hall, searching for theater 4. "Here it is," Zach said, pointing to a room on the left side. We entered, only to see that the movie had already begun.
Zach grumbled something in Portuguese under his breath, but it was too low for me to make out (I've got a pretty good guess as to what he said, though), and said a bit louder, " We missed the beginning."
" It was only a couple of minutes, Zach." Actually, it was 4 minutes and 37 seconds, but I didn't want to be so technical. "We can still watch it," I suggested.
" Yeah, I guess you're right," he said, watching the movie intently, trying to figure out what he had missed. We sat down, trying to please the angry faces of once-happy movie-goers. Throughout the movie, Zach and I kept saying things like, " He should've done a roundhouse here," or " He should've been more quick there." One time, I said, " He should've blended himself in more," to which Zach replied with a small laugh and, "Not everyone can be as invisible as the 'Chameleon'." I gave him a playful glare and hit him gently on his head with my Junior Mints box ( Thank you, Macey!). He just chuckled and said, " Oh, real mature, Gallagher Girl, real mature."
"Shhh!" the row in front of us said...again. Zach and I tried to muffle our laughter at this, but it didn't work so well. We burst out of Theater 4 laughing so loud that people stopped to stare for a moment. We tried to sober up, but it only worked for a minute. We walked out of the movie theater, laughing and stumbling until we found a bench to rest upon.
Still giggling softly, I rested my head on Zach's shoulder and asked, " Do you ever miss Blackthorne, Zach?"
He put his arm around me and replied, "Of course I do, it's my home, too, just like Gallagher is yours." I took some time and thought about that, until Zach interrupted my thoughts with, "But I don't have someone there to look over me like you."
I smiled slightly and said, "Yeah, I miss my mom."
"Well it's so nice to hear that you miss me," someone said.
"Mom," I said, surprised to see her. "What-"
"Cameron Anne Morgan," she said, waving a torn piece of clothing at me, "We need to talk." Uh oh
