I was in my mom office, still in shock. Josh sat in the chair next to me and my mom was yet to come. I stared at Josh, trying to imagine him as a Blackthorne. No image formed in my head.

"Will you stop staring at me?" Josh asked, irritation hinted in his voice.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked finally.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were a Gallagher Girl?" He shot back at me. I sat there and stared at him. He changed a little. His hair was a little darker than before and his body looked more toned and muscular.

I jumped a little at my mother's forceful entry. I mentally scolded myself. I was getting rusty. I was supposed to be prepared for anything. Mom sat down and looked at me a smirk on her face as I tried to hide the shock that still shock my insides.

"So, do you want me or Josh to explain?" She asked me. I looked at Josh expectantly.

"I want it from the beginning," I stated. He shrugged and began without hesitation.

"I was recruited at the age of 7 at some school in Asia. I was trained briefly for 3 years before being sent to Blackthorne. I was trained there for 5 years before being sent to live with my adoptive parents that were retired spies. My mission was to watch out for the COC and make sure that they didn't attack. I wasn't aware at the time that Gallagher Academy was for spies.

"I made friends and was accepted as a normal person. The night I met you, I was tailing your teacher, he seemed…. disturbed. I didn't get far before he met up with Solomon. I knew him, so I backed off. When I went back home, I noticed a girl looking through a trash bin."

Again. Why am I the only shocked one here? I glanced at my mom who was shifting through some papers, not paying attention at all.

"Did you know who he was?" I asked. She glanced up at me.

"How do you think we knew you were sneaking out? Josh told Solomon and he told me. We had no idea that he didn't know what you were." She said with a light laugh. I nodded my head and looked down at the floor, not sure what to do now. Josh seemed to notice and changed the subject.

"So what is up with you and that kid from outside?" He asked me. His voice didn't sound jealous, just curious and slightly amused. I sighed, reluctant to tell him. But with what he just told me, I kind of owe it to him.

"Zachary Goode. My ex if that is what you want to call it." I said simply, glancing up to look at my mom. She was looking at me with concern.

"What is going on between you two now?" She said with a sigh.

"I haven't got a clue! He is avoiding me and I mean, his mom tried to kill me and he failed to mention it so it's not like I would totally forgive him right off the bat. And even if I did, how would he know? He doesn't talk to me! At all! I try to catch his eye sometimes, to see if he still cares, but it's like we are magnets and he can't look at me." I burst out. Totally un-aware that my other ex was sitting right next to me.

My mom looked concerned and handed a slip of paper to Josh, probably giving him directions to his room. I ignored him and focused on not letting the tear fall. I had cried way too much for that boy. Josh left in a hurry, wanting to avoid the situation, or he had to pee.

"Cameron, honey, he came to me yesterday and said the same things you are saying now. He thinks you are avoiding him; he looks at you at the wrong times and fails to look at you when he knows you are looking. Zach wants you to forgive him, but he isn't sure if he deserves it." She said to me soothingly; her hands stroked my hair as the traitor tears fell from my eyes. I was truly shocked that I still had tears to shed.

"Then why isn't he sucking it up and talking to me?" I asked her. I could almost hear the smile on her face as she answered.

"He is afraid of loosing you more than he already has."

I silently cried into her shirt for a while. She just sat there and acted her motherly part and let me think. I was going to talk to Zach, weather he wanted to hear it or not.

I left the office a while later. My mom was reluctant, afraid I would do something stupid. I walked out, my eyes were probably still puffy, but that is okay. It's not like anyone is going to be wandering the halls at 8 in the morning. School is going to starts soon, so everyone is getting ready. Except Zach.

"Hey Gallagher Girl." He said, his voice barely audible. He stood in front of me, blocking my path back to my dorm. I stopped and waited for him to smirk or something. It never came. WE just stood there, staring at each other. Both waiting for the other to say something.

"Do you want something?" I finally asked. Proud that my voice didn't crack. Zach hesitated before walking up to me, I stood my ground, not sure what he was going to do. Instead of hugging me or something, his arms wrapped around my waist and he pulled me into a nearby broom closet. I didn't even know the academy had broom closets. It was small, but big enough that me and Zach weren't touching.

"Well, isn't this just comfortable." I mumbled. In the dark, I caught Zach smirk. I glared at him and reached for the door knob, but he was faster and moved in front of it.

"I came to apologize," he burst stared at him very hard.

"For what? For lying to me since the moment we met? For lying to me about everything? For telling me so little about everything? Why didn't you just tell me?" I asked, trying to keep my voice under a scream.

"Because if I told you, all you would see was her when you look at me. Just like everyone else." He said, referring to his mother.

"So that is better than not telling me and me finding out like this? I wouldn't hold that against you. What makes me mad is that you didn't tell me."

"I wanted to. So many times I wanted to. But I didn't know how you would react or how to say it or-" he didn't finish because I couldn't take it. His lips were just to close to mine.

So I kissed him. And it was the most passionate kiss I had ever given him. Zach didn't hesitate to kiss me right back.I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and pulled him down to me. His arms went to my waist, crushing our bodies together. His lips were just as soft and warm as I remember. Out tongues fought for dominance, neither winning or backing down. Finally, I lost all my air supply and had to break away. We were both gasping for breath. Zach was smirking like an idiot.

"What was that for?" He asked.

"I haven't got a clue," I whispered leaning my head on his shoulder, taking comfort in his warmth. We just sat there like that. Not knowing what to do next. Finally, the voices outside told me that we had to go to school.

"How do you think they will react to us walking out of a closet right now?" He said. I could hear the smirk on his lips. Typical Zach.

Very sucky ending, but I wanted to get done with it so I could start on the next chapter. REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!
