When I looked up I realized what room I had chosen and felt extremely stupid for it.
I had chosen the room that Zach had stayed in when he did the Blackthorn exchange. I was still crying when I realized I had to meet my mother for dinner. I quickly went into the adjoining bathroom and applied concealer to hide my red puffy eyes. Zach I thought that name almost every day since I had left Gallagher Academy. I wished I had called those first few months, but I had missions if I had contacted him I could have put him in danger. But between missions there were almost always a few weeks off and I had no excuse for not calling him other than the fact he didn't call me.
As I came around the corner I was hit with the smell of my mother's infamous goulash and I pushed Zach Goode out of my mind.
I entered my mother's office to find it not filled with smoke. That was very strange for Saturday night dinners with my mother. When my mother saw my confused look she looked concerned. "What Cammie, did I do something wrong?"
"Oh its nothing Mom, I was just wondering where all the smoke was." My mother looked down sheepishly and then pointed to the ceiling "I had a vent installed." I laughed and soon she joined in until we heard the ding that signaled the food was ready. When she set the plate down in front of me I was once again shocked.
In front of me sat a plate where all the food was placed perfectly making it look like it had just come out of a five star kitchen. Once again my mother looked embarrassed. "I've been taking lessons from the chef." We laughed, but when I took my first bite I knew she had only been taking lessons on how the food looked not how it tasted.
We talked about our lives and what differences the school now had. I found out that Solomon was on leave for a month and a half and the new substitute teacher was quite I was tired so I bid my mother good night and headed off to bed. As I entered the room that used to be Zach's I groaned internally again. Why did everything lately remind me of him? I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth, I heard a noise behind me and when I turned around I finally got to know who the substitute teacher was.
(A/N) First of all sorry it is so short! I was having a bit of a writers block but now I know exactly what I am going to write next but I need just a bit of your help. Vote on who the teacher should be: Bex, Zach, Grant (and Zach will come and visit) or someone else that I can't think of right now. Pease Review!!
