Okay, I know I'm bad at updating now, but I have to read freaking 'Great Expectations' for school. Meh... Anyway, because I felt like it, I'm updating again, isn't that nice?! And I've decided to do this: I get a lot of reviews and so, I do want to acknowledge you people, I just didn't really know how yet. So here it is. The first few people to review get the shout-out. Here's one now, because I forgot to do this earlier:

BunnySwag101: Thanks for everything!

Enough of this stupid A/N, time for the good stuff!

And I have to wonder- who said this was Zammie? I can do whatever I want. But, still, I have to know. How many of you are Zammie fans?

As the boys approached the Grand Hall for breakfast, after staying up so late, they were all pretty tired.

Everything was fine and the same, the boys asked what was with yesterday's vanishing act, and Bex replied with, "If you must know, it was a family get together of sorts." And that was the end of that conversation.

The only thing that was different was that one of the juniors had stood up, claiming that she had something to share with all the girls that morning.

When she walked up to the projector she had placed there before the Hall was crowed, she held a simple camera in her hand. Not really anything special... unless you were a Blackthorne boy, that is.

So, I'll give you three guesses has to who it is, standing up at the front of the room, not letting any of the boys miss her smug smirk.

1. Cameron Ann Morgan

2. Cameron Ann Morgan

3. Cameron-Freaking-Ann Morgan

...Did you pick yet? Well, the boys knew who she was!

Especially one Zachary Goode, who knew exactly what she was doing. Each of the boys got their own little smirk, ranging from smugness, triumph and pity and sympathy for a few. Only one boy didn't get a smirk.

Aaron was the only one to catch the hint of a smile she showed him.

It didn't help calm his nerves. Any.

The girls got the footage that Cammie took on Saturday from the boys' countdown. A lot of them weren't very happy.

When it came to the parts where Aaron tried to defend the girls, they looked at him, caught his eye or smiled in his direction.

When it came to the numbers, some of the girls didn't get what was Aaron so mad about. They thought that he was saying those things because he thought they deserved a lower score, when in reality, he just wanted the guys to respect them.

Then it came to him slipping on Cammie's name, making even more of the girls think that he was just saying those things just because he like Cammie. Trying to get in her good book.

It wasn't, just that he saw her as a friend rather than a stranger.

When it got towards the end, most of the girls with hate on Aaron then saw his look of happiness and gratefulness to Cammie and their misunderstandings just grew in size. They didn't have that much information, and people do tend to take things different ways, that the most obvious things can hold much bigger problems. And so, they tried to get rid of this problem.

The boys also weren't happy with Aaron but for a different reason: he was the only guy not shown in a bad light, the rest were! They still didn't get what Cammie saw and what a majority of the others saw.

When everything was said and done with, Aaron was approached by many girls, all saying how sweet he was. Some of the Gallagher students gave crap to the boys, thinking that they deserved it, which they kind of did.

The girls thinking it was Aaron doing the deceiving, thought how sad it was that many of their sisters fell for his act. And so when he left, they followed.

Aaron left with the boys, only to get hounded on when the got past the corner. All questioning him for what he did, why he had to open up his big mouth, wanting him to share some of the hate. Knowing that that wouldn't happen, they just pushed him around as he wasn't that big, and left him there by the corner.

None of what they did really hit him, until one of the boys, he couldn't tell as his ears were pounding with the sound of his rushing blood, decided to yell back the most offensive and hurtful word. One that even regular civilians hated to hear.

"Way to go, fag!"

The girls that were going over to Aaron didn't hear the hurtful comment and hit him with their own force.

"I can't believe you would do such a thing!"

"Yeah, making all of our sisters like you when-"

"You disgust me! I can't even-"

"You played them all and you can't even fight back? You're not a man-"

Hurtful words turned into hurtful comments that made hurtful sentences until he could almost feel the venom in their words.

Aaron wasn't one to be rude or hurtful, like these girls and his so-called brothers.

They left him, thinking that they at least told him what's what, not knowing that they cracked him like a shattering mirror.

But, remember, if something breaks, it can always be fixed. Sometimes, it just takes the right person.

"Don't listen to them, any of them."

It came from right beside him. A whisper. An encouragement. And in the end, that is what gave Aaron that final push off the cliff... but he was saved by the railing.

He cried, buried himself in the girl's shoulder, not caring who it was, as it was just someone that let him have comfort, someone who didn't mind seeing him like this. Who knew he was sweet all along.

I'll give you three guesses who.

1. Cameron Ann Morgan

2. Cameron Ann Morgan

3. Sweet Cameron Ann Morgan

That is what Cammie was in his eyes, that he could tell her his most trusted secret and it would not pass through her lips to anyone. And that's what he did.

He told her his darkest secret. But he wasn't scared of what she might think. I guess, that's why he told her in the first place.

"...They're right you know."

Cammie looked down confused, but didn't interrupted.

"About me being what they said, a...," Aaron swallowed hard, but still couldn't bring himself to say that foul word, so he settled with one a little less painful," gay... I'm gay."

Aaron laughed a little, still held by Cammie.

She was shocked, of course, but she didn't care right at the moment.

She knew when to keep quiet.

She also knew when it was time to speak up.

It was neither of those times. It was a time for action.

Cammie took her thumbs and wiped them under his eyes, took his hand and lead him to her mother's office.

Aaron was confused. He just told her he was gay. What was she doing?

He found out pretty soon and smiled so bright that it seemed the tears in his eyes were of happiness instead of misery.

"Mom, dad, Joe, Abby."

Rachel looked up from her paper work, Mathew from his files and Joe and Abby stop conversing.

Cammie gave a million-dollar smile and spoke with the utmost confidence.

"I want you to meet a new member of the family."
