Hey guys! I am SO sorry about not updating this book for a while! School was a bit busy, and then I added a couple chapters to my other book.

But guess what!

It is the summer holidays for me! WHHOOOO! Plenty of time to write. (:

It is kind of creepy that we are having aftershocks still, because the big quake happened a couple months ago. They're fun though, so I don't know why I am complaining.

Mr. Solomon wasn't happy.

And that must have been one of the biggest understatements of the century.

After ordering us to clean everything up and get to bed, he told us we had a surprise for Co-Ops tomorrow, and we had to get lots of sleep. I'm sure that even if we were dead tired, we would still do our best in whatever he had planned, but I thought it might be best not talking back to the man who had found a quarter of our school in our room having a pillow fight.

Quick as they came when they heard about the pillow fight, all our sisters were quick to leave when they found they had to clean up. Trying to act casual, Grant, Zach and Jonas were trying to sneak out too, until Bex spotted them and marched over.

"Oh no you don't! I don't care if everyone else bailed; you are helping us clean up. Some of this is your fault." Bex told them firmly as she grabbed the back of Grant's shirt.

Grumbling with annoyance, they all slowly turned around and start helping us sweep up all the feathers on the ground. Ever so slowly, I saw Bex sneak closer to Grant. I raised an eyebrow, watching her but not commenting. At one point, Bex was right next to him; I saw her reach down, grab a handful of feathers and shove them all down the back of his top.

I burst out laughing as we watched Grant hopping around in some sort of weird dance as he tried to get rid of feathers, while cursing Bex. I abruptly stopped laughing as I felt something soft

I turned to see Zach smirking at me. "You are going to pay!" I cried, scooping up a heap of feathers and leaping after him.

One hour and six more handfuls of feathers shoved down my shirt, we finally all lay on the floor laughing. Well, Liz and Jonas had gone back to hiding under her desk. I think Liz was showing him something on her computer.

"Come on, if we don't get this cleaned up and send Grant, Zach and Jonas back to their room, Mr. S will throw a fit." Macey got up, pushing herself to her feet.

.

"Alright," Mr. Solomon called, and at once we all stopped talking. You do not want to get on his bad side. "Your mission is this; I will choose someone walking around, and I want to follow them and find out their first and last names, favorite drink and food, all without talking to them."

We were all currently in a van travelling somewhere. By we, I meant my class and the two of the three Blackthorne Boys who Bex swears are stalking us. I'm starting to agree with her.

"Are we doing this by our selves, or with a partner?" Tina asked.

"With a partner." Mr. S confirmed. "Pick someone now."

I immediately started to turn to Bex so we could be partners.

"Miss Morgan, you already have a partner." I heard my teacher call.

I turned slowly to see him gesture at someone across the bus. Zach smirked at me and for a second I wished I was dreaming.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I cannotbe partnered with him.

I sent a pleading look to Mr. S, but he had already turned away and was talking to another student. I turned and gave an apologetic look to Bex who just shrugged. She scanned the room for a few seconds then grinned. Grant was walking over to her.

I rolled my eyes and twisted around, only to find Zach smirking at my right behind me.

"Looks like it's you and me, Gallagher girl.'

I groaned and turned my back on him, going back to my set at the edge of the van.

"Really, is the idea of being partners with me that horrible?" Zach asked with a raised eyebrow.

I was silent for a few seconds. "That was a rhetorical question, right?"

Zach just rolled his eyes and smirked at me.

You know you've been around someone too much when you start to know just when they're going to do something.

The again, Zach seems to take any excuse to smirk.

Stupid smirking spy.

.

"Right, Miss Baxter, you and your partner are going to follow the man in the blue baseball cap with the black pants and blue tee-shirt." Solomon announced.

I watched as one of my best friends grinned at me, then jumped out of the van, Grant following her eagerly.

As much as I disliked the Blackthorne boys being here, I knew Grant and Bex had to get together. She helped me with Josh; I should help her with Grant. Besides, they went quite well together. Grant seemed to be one of the only boys who didn't mind the fact she could start beating him up in a slit second.

One of others was Zach.

But no, he wasn't interested in her at all. No, he had to spend all his time annoying the hell out of me instead.

"Miss Morgan, Mr. Goode." Mr. S called. "You will be following that woman there, the one with the grey pants, green top and brown hair. She is standing by the water fountain."

I glanced outside and looked around. I spotted the woman almost at once. She as busy texting on her cellphone, tapping her foot on the ground impatiently.

I hopped out of the van, Zach on my heels, and turned the comms unit on and started walking. I heard Bex's voice though it at once.

"Thos is Duchess speaking, who can hear me?"

"Hello Duchess, Chameleon speaking." I told her formally, grinning.

"Chameleon! How is your objective?"

"She is currently…" I subtly glanced in the woman direction. "Currently texting on her phone by the fountain. How is yours?"

"Our stalking is going very well, thank you."

"Bex," I heard Grant mutter. "We are not stalking them."

"We are following them to find out their first and last name, and what their favorite food and drink is. How could that not be stalking them?"

"It's just… an assignment." Grant argued.

"Yes, it's an assignment where we stalk someone."

"Bex…"

"We're on the comms, you idiot."

"Sorry, Duchess."

"Thank you."

"Guys." Zach spoke for the first time. "Please, save you lover's quarrel for later. You have a mission."

"LOVERS?" Bex demanded, furious. "We…! I…! It's not… I mean… We are NOT lovers!"

"What ever you say, Baxter." Zach smirked, even though Bex couldn't see him.

"I mean it, Goode. Doubt me and you won't be able to sleep safely for a while." Bex told him.

"Hmm. Oh, look at that, our target is moving." Zach announced.

I had been watching the woman, and true enough she was dialling someone on her cellphone as she got up and started heading down the road.

Without even having to look at Zach, we both started to follow her slowly down the road, using everything we had learned to keep ourselves hidden and attract no attention.

If the person you are ever following turns back around quickly, do not stop and quickly try to hide, or freeze. Just keep moving forward like nothing ad happened.

Wear something that will let you blend in with everyone. Not something fancy and stylish like half the girls in my class wore.

Zach and I were going to need to listen to what she was saying to be able to figure out her name and favorite food and drink. We stepped up our pace a tiny bit and quickly ended up walking near enough to her what she was saying, without her thinking we were looking suspicious.

Zach swung an arm around my shoulders and I turned to glare at him. "What do you think you are doing?" I hissed, ignoring the feeling my stomach felt because of his arm around me.

"Blending in," He replied at once. "To everyone else, we're just a couple on a stroll."

I continued to glare to him. "Do anything else and I'll kill you."

"Don't pretend you don't like it."

"I don't."

"Mmmhmm."

"I'm serious."

"I believe you."

I shot him a wry look. It was easy to see he didn't believe me one tiny bit at all.

"Look," Zach very slightly moved his head, pointing toward a place across the square. "The person we are 'stalking', according to Bex, seems to be moving toward that alley."

I turned to look and sure enough, for some reason she was walking towards an alley that was off to the side.

I hate it when he's right about something, or sees something first.

As we walked over to the alley that the woman had just reached, Zach let his arm slip down from around my shoulders and grab my hand.

I very slowly stared threateningly at him, then down at my hand. Zach's only response was to laugh and spin me around in a circle.

He grinned at me. "Don't look so mad, Gallagher Girl. People might think we aren't a couple if you keep glaring at me like that."

"We're not a couple." I pointed out.

Zach smirked. "They don't know that, do they?" He nodded toward the crowds around us.

I gritted my teeth together and decided I was getting no where with this argument. We had reached the alleyway, anyway. I carefully peered down it using the corner of my eye. The woman we were following had just turned the corner at the end.

Zach and I slipped into the passageway and followed her. He finally shut up too. Good to know the word 'silence' is in his vocabulary.

Being the gentleman he isn't, Zach went first. Just in case there was any hint of danger. Like I couldn't handle myself.

My foot hit a u-even stone and I stumbled, cursing. Zach turned back from a few meters in front of me to see what the problem was. Suddenly, his eyes opened wide and fearful and he started toward me. For what must have been a few milliseconds I wondered why Zach would be so concerned about me stumbling.

And that's when the wall next to me came crashing down on top of me.

Gallagherfan97 – Yes! It's so cool! But it sucks because where I live we only get an inch or two of snow every like, three years.

READ! READ! READ! Alright guys! I have been getting reviews on both stories that amusingly say; forget the other story, keep working on this one! So, this is what I have decided. I add this chapter to Never Saw You, then I'm going put up a few chapters to Falcon Flight, until both stories have the same amount of chapters. After that, I will update each story so that they have the same amount of chapters, and everyone can be happy. I hope.

.

I am really sorry about the wait. I've been going on these different camping trip things. I'm back now, though. (:

Please review!
