A/N: Ey ey ey ey! This is my first, as in FIRST, Gallagher Girls fanfic so; 1. Review honestly. 2. Correct all my flaws in this chapter. And 3. Enjoy!

7:36 am. I woke up at 7:36 am. The sun outside was glaring at the glass window at 7:36 am. And lastly, I found a note on my side table as I sat up at 7:36 am.

'Cammie, I, the Baxters, and some other faculty members have gone on a mission in Madrid, Spain today. Which means you and Bex are not going away for the winter break with them. I'm sorry I can't make it to Sunday night supper for the next 6 months. I spoke with Professor Buckingham and she approved that you can temporarily take my place as headmistress since I'm out for long. Take care and I love you. -Mom'

I sat up straighter on my bed and sighed. It's the 24th of December. The day of Christmas Eve. The day before Christmas. And my mom's on a mission. And I'm taking over her position as headmistress of the Gallagher Academy, which is really a very bad idea. And, for the first time, I'm not going away for the winter break.

"Yeah," a voice behind me suddenly sighed a sigh of slight grief. "we're not leaving for the break." Then I turned to see Bex also sitting up on her bed too. She was facing down, probably feeling the same sorrow as I was.

Liz's voice was soft as she said "According to page 54, chapter 6 on our handbook," She started. And I started to think, once again, that her brain was like an infinite gigabyte memory card. "If you're 16 and above, you could take the position temporarily of a principal/ professor/ teacher if needed/ required."

"That means no sneaking out right?" Macey asked. The answer was obvious. Of course I can't sneak out as the headmistress. And that was a very very bad idea.

The four of us headed out of our room in still in our pajamas.

As we got out, the silence from our room broke and was replaced with the sounds of girls chatting and laughing down the corridors. Forks were crashing on plates in the kitchen. And papers were crumpling and scissors were cutting everywhere.

It's Christmas.

Greetings exchanged in all rooms, all floors. Presents were being wrapped in all faculties, all suites. And hugs were given and taken everytime, everywhere.

It's Christmas.

Then suddenly, quick footsteps were moving towards me and the noise noise grew louder and louder.

"Merry Christmas, Gallagher Girl." His voice was deep and perfect as he kissed me on my cheek and handed me a present wrapped in silver and a gold ribbon tied on it. And a note that said 'Gallagher Girl, Merry Christmas! Have a nice one. Lots of love, your Blackthrone Boy.' Let me say that that was probably the sweetest thing Zachary Goode has given to me... So far...

It's the BEST Christmas.

I took the present and turned to face him. I hugged him tightly and whispered "Thank you, Zach." on his ear.

My three best friends just giggled and blushed beside me.

I tightened my hug and he so did he, but tighter. "I love you, Gallagher Girl."
