A/N: THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH TO THOSE OF YOU WHO REVIEWED!! YOU GUYS/GIRLS ROCK!!!
Please forgive me if you don't like it. I have no clue where this is going yet.
And for all of you who know who John Denver is, I love him. I am currently learning to play the guitar, to his songs of course, so I thought I would incorporate him. And, he did actually die in a plane crash, but PLEASE don't think I'm mocking it or him, I would never mock such a great musician.
Cammie's POV
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU MEAN JOE SOLOMON IS YOUR GUARDIAN?!" Classes were over for the day, and we were all back in our room. I had just told Bex, Liz and Macey about Solomon being my guardian-equal, if you hadn't already guessed. Liz and Macey were speechless, Bex was flipping out, and I was trying to become invisible.
"Bex, it's Guardian-Equal. Totally not the same." I tried, but she didn't buy a word of it. "What the hell is a guardian-equal? You obviously don't know otherwise you would have told us." The sad part was that I didn't know. I should know, Mom explained it to us. But I did one of the worst things a spy could everdo. I forgot what she said. Of course, Macey and Liz were still just sitting there.
"Guys, please say something. You're starting to scare me." I found out Macey just couldn't respond. She could have gone mute for all anybody knew, she just stared into space, and Liz was worried about Mr. Solomon's teaching morals. She questioned if his parental attachment to either Zach or me would change the grades he gave us, the tests he gave us, or the way he treated us compared to everyone else. It was a typical Liz moment as you can imagine.
Zach's POV
I was waiting for the perfect moment, when Cammie and her friends left to go to the Grand Hall for dinner. I was following them, lurking in dark corners if I were to be so bold. It was a spy's instinct. But they were walking, and had no clue I was following them, very sloppy. And dangerous, but only in the real world, not here in school. Then Cammie surprised me, she told them to go without her, she was going to meet them in there. Then she started to walk over to me. She did see me after all. "Hey Gallagher Girl," I smirked, knowing it would tick her off. It was fun, making fun of Cammie. You know how it is, I hear boys are very immature sometimes. But, being immature is a lot of fun, especially the joy I get out of watching Cammie roll her eyes at me.
Cammie's POV
I saw him out of the corner of my eye, and tried to beat him at his own game, but his smirk told me I didn't succeed. I hated that smirk, yet at the same time I had to love it. The smirk was what made him Zach. "Hey, Zach. Uh, why were you following me?" The question seemed like the right one. "I needed to ask you something, and yes as a spy lurking tends to be the best way to do it." Damn, he was good. Then he flashed his cocky "I know something you don't know" smile.
"So? You needed to ask me something?" I asked impatiently, for he was taking way too long for me. "Yeah, but later when there are less distractions like being hungry." And with that he walked away. He made me late to dinner to tell me that he had something he wanted to ask me after we ate, stupid BOY. I blame testosterone.
…
It was after dinner and I needed to think. Screw what Zach said, I just needed some alone time. With this I took off for the tower I frequently went to… even though I had already stained three of my skirts sitting up there. I pushed open the door and closed it behind me. When I turned around to go to the window I almost screamed, but didn't. Sure as the stain I would have gotten on my butt, Zach was sitting where I always did. I felt the need to turn and go, but he got up and grabbed my wrist. "What do you want Zach? I came up here to think."
"What a surprise, so did I. Only I needed to talk to you as well, and I know you like to come here so…" What? I never mentioned this place around him, I never came here while he was in the school, so there was no way he could know that… Except for Bex, Liz and Macey! I'm going to kill them. "Ok. So talk," I said angrily.
"You know, Gallagher Girl, a temper that flares up is very bad for a spy." He never stops smirking, does he? "But, I'll still tell you, even if you did hurt my feelings." So sarcastic. "I was just wondering what you were thinking about the whole 'guardian-equal' thing. I think there's something your mom didn't tell us. But we canfind out. I may know a lot about Gallagher, but you ARE Gallagher Girl, so I think we should do it together." For the first time, in his life probably, Zach asked someone for help. And he asked ME! Eeeeeeep!
"Ok Zach, I'll help you. Meet Bex, Liz and me tomorrow during free period outside the vending machine." He looked puzzled. Once again, this was probably a first for him. "But-" I cut him off, "Yeah, bring Grant and Jonas, they might be interested. Whatever." And I left.
I felt so accomplished for beating Zach. I flipped the tables, I left him asking the questions. Such a good day. For me I mean. Once I was back in my dorm, I started talking with Bex and Macey. Liz was probably off somewhere programming NASA's new defense for the space shuttle, or cracking some CIA firewall. All for fun, too. But we were disrupted by a knock on the door. I went to answer it and there stood Zach in all his Adonis-like beauty. I tried not to let my internal swoon show. He chuckled telling me I didn't do a very good job, not that I ever can hide anything from him. He then walked in, no "hey! Can I come in?" NOTHING. So I tried to catch him again, "Aren't our dorms off limits to the opposite gender?"
He did that stupid point at chest and say "spy" thing that bothered me almost as much as the smirking did. He started the smirk just then. I turned to glare at my friends who started laughing. "Oh that's right. You're a spy. I don't really think that's going to work out. You can't use the excuse 'spy' when on a mission. Just in case you missed that memo." He rolled his eyes and sprawled out on my bed. I raised an eyebrow and he mimicked me. "What's up Zach? What is so very important that it couldn't wait until tomorrow? So important that you needed to barge into our room."
"Well for one, I was thinking about our mission. You are supposed to be able to sing. Uhh, how well can you lip sync?" I chucked a pillow at his head for that, which he dodged. "I would like to inform you Zachary Goode, that I can sing very well, thank you very much." (To you reading this, I sound kinda like Taylor Swift) "Either way Zach, can you play the guitar?" No surprise here, he said yes. "Ok Mr. Smarty-pants. You better brush up, because I like Jason Mraz, Taylor Swift, and…. Never mind" They all stared at me. Only Zach actually asked. "Oh, come on. You can tell us. We won't tell."
I felt my cheeks turning bright red as I said, "John Denver. He played country music. My dad got me hooked on him because apparently he was a pilot for the CIA before the plane he was test piloting crashed." Thankfully, no one laughed.
Suddenly Bex asked, "What do you mean 'wait for tomorrow'? OH MY GOD! Are you two secretly dating? Cammie! You know how that ended last time. Although last time it was a civilian you started dating…" She was more or less talking to herself.
"Oh yeah! Jimmy, right?" Zach! I picked the pillow up off of the ground and in one swift movement hit him on the back of the head. He rolled over, so I only grazed the side of his head and shout-whispered (because if he got caught in a girls dorm… trouble with a capital T) "Hey! Uncalled for!" Bex and Macey, who had been otherwise quiet, started to laugh at that.
"What?" we asked in unison. They laughed even harder. Zach started chuckling too, as he OBVIOUSLY figured out what they were laughing about. "Ok, Gallagher Girls. I'll see you tomorrow, free period."
They grilled me the moment he left. "What did he mean he'd see us tomorrow?" Bex. "WAIT! Idon't have a free period until I'm caught up with the rest of you guys!" Oops. "Mace, Bex. I was goingto tell you, before he barged in. He thinks there's something my mom didn't tell us about the guardian-equal thing. So we, as in me, him, Liz, Jonas, Grant and you, Bex, were going to go into the science lab behind the vending machine during free period tomorrow to try to figure it out. Of course you would be filled in later, Macey." With that we went to bed. I don't know about the others, but I fell asleep pondering the guardian equal subject. I felt that, in addition to what my mom didn't tell us, Zach knew something too. Something he wasn't sharing with me.
Soooooooo? How was it? I know, super short, forgive me. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE R&R!!! I know i definitely need advice.
