Chapter 3
The next couple of days went by the same as usual, well if you call usual your big brother picking on you and teasing you but also being nice to you and spending time with him but nobody knows you are brother and sister and so they think something is going on between you especially the two people that you guys really like and they have made a bunch of plans to make you jealous and they are working so much, then yea it's usual. It is Friday afternoon at 4:35 p.m. and right now I'm walking towards the library to look up information about the group that kidnapped Grant when we were little.
Right as I walked into the room I saw Zach surrounded by a bunch of girls again. I groaned mentally, went to a shelf, picked out a book that named a lot of secret groups, and sat down on the couch. I checked all the names of the groups but most of them were whipped out of existence after a couple of years or haven't been heard of for centuries. While I read, my thoughts kept getting interrupted by a lot of laughing and giggling coming from the group of girls and I could see that they were getting closer to Zach and he seemed to be egging them on which only added to my frustration.
Zach had barely spoken a word to me the past couple of days and when I tried to talk to him he would just ignore me. During this whole time he hadn't even glanced my way to see how I was reacting to this! I read through all the names in the book trying my hardest to block out the sound coming from the group of girls and to concentrate on the book but each laugh I heard and each name I read just made me even angrier! After 30 minutes of this torture I couldn't take it anymore! I groaned, slammed the book shut, went to the shelf, shove it in there, and stomped out of the door, all the while eyes were following me and the room was silent. I have never lost my temper like that before and people were all staring at me in shock. I ran down to the only place that could calm me down right now. Before it used to be my favorite secret passageway but now it was different. I ran down hallways and burst into the room closing the door. Grant looked up from his bed and when he saw the tears on my face he quickly jumped up from it and ran to me.
"Cammie, what happened?" He asked, worried but I just hugged him tightly. He hugged me back and I sobbed into his shoulder. He rubbed my back and started to hum a song that sounded very familiar. I quickly realized it was the song him and dad used to sing to me when I was younger and was really sad. The song, as usual, calmed me down and I soon stopped crying. I stood there hugging him for a while then I pulled away.
"Cammie what happened?" Grant asked.
"Well I was trying to find some information on the group that kidnapped you, to see if I could find out their name or at least narrow down the list but I found nothing and..." I trailed off.
"What?" He asked.
"And it seems like Zach and Bex are actually really taking their plan seriously." I stated simply.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Well I went into the library and Zach was surrounded by girls." I started.
"How many girls?" He asked.
"A lot, around 20 but more kept coming so I couldn't keep count." I stated. He groaned.
"Then what happened?" Grant asked after awhile.
"I was sitting there reading the book and getting frustrated from the little bit of information it was giving me and in the background Zach was saying jokes and making all the girls laugh and giggle and they kept moving closer to him and gathering around him and," I stopped to take a deep breath, I needed to calm down.
"And?" He said, gesturing for me to continue.
"And I sort of exploded from all the frustration." I stated.
"Exploded how?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I groaned really loudly, slammed the book shut, pushed up from the couch, stomped across the room to the bookshelf, shoved the book in there, and stomped out the door." I stated quietly. He stared at me, astonished.
"Who would've thought that two small things would make you explode like that? I wonder what would happen if two big things got to you..." He said, thinking. Ever since he found out he was my brother his intelligence has finally started to show. I realized that it was 6:15 p.m. and dinner would be starting in 15 minutes. I told him and we headed down to dinner. When we walked in a lot of eyes turned to us and it made me very uncomfortable, I am the chameleon after all. We walked down to our table where everybody was sitting. We sat down and everybody returned to their food reluctantly while Bex and Zach kept staring at us suspiciously. We quickly looked down and started to eat our food. We talked with everybody at our table and some people around the room kept shooting glances at me and Grant to see if we were doing anything that would confirm their suspicions but all we did was laugh and talk with our friends. After we were done Jonas and Liz went to go study and fix inventions, Macey went up to our room to read magazines, Nick went to his room to do who knows what, Bex and Zach went off somewhere, probably to make another part of their plan for us, and I just walked around the school with Grant laughing and remembering our childhood memories when I suddenly got an idea.
"Hey race you to my favorite 'secret' passageway!" I said.
"You're on!" Grant yelled and we started to run.
We raced down each hallway as fast as we could we were side by side pushing each other, then suddenly I turned and ran down the hall into a secret passageway that would lead me right to my favorite one. When I got to it I stood in the entrance to see Grant running right up to me. He stopped and I could see he was angry.
"I won!" I said happily.
"You cheated!" He stated, clearly mad. I pretended to be confused.
"What do you mean? I was right next to you the whole time." I stated, lying.
"No you weren't! You used one of your secret passageways!" He complained.
"No I didn't!" I said, defensively.
"Yes you did!"
"No I didn't!"
"Yes you did!"
"No!" I screamed louder.
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"So what if I did?" I said, angry now.
"It's cheating!" He said, exasperated.
"So what if it is!" I said.
"You're not supposed to cheat!" He yelled.
"What are you? My boss?" I said, getting louder.
"No I'm your brother!" He yelled.
"So does that make you the boss of me?" I yelled louder.
"Yes! Because I'm older!" He explained.
"I'm smarter!" I challenged.
"I'm taller!" Grant said.
"I'm a better spy!" I yelled.
"I'm cooler!" He said even louder, as we walked farther into the passageway.
"I'm -" but what I was, was cut off by me tripping over a rock on the ground and falling hard on my face. Immediantly Grant bent down to see if I was okay.
"Cammie!" He said, worriedly, pulling me up, "Are you alright?"
"Yea I'm fine." I snapped.
"Are you sure?" He said. I looked into his eyes and all I saw was worry and immediantly my anger went away. I smiled.
"Yes I'm fine." I said. I looked around and saw an open passageway that I have never seen before.
"Where did this come from?" I asked.
"It must've been the rock. It must be a button or something." Grant suggested. I was impressed that he figured that out. He grinned.
"See I'm smarter than you thought." He said.
"Yes you are." I said, still shocked.
"Come on; let's see where this tunnel leads." He said and I nodded. We started to walk down into it. We walked for 5 minutes and 49 seconds and then we came to a wall. I looked around it and saw an uneven brick sticking out. I pulled on it and a small part of the wall opened up. I looked at it and saw it was a scanner.
"These passageways have been here for decades so why does it have a DNA scanner?" I asked confused, looking at Grant. He shrugged.
"Maybe someone was here and updated it." He offered.
"Oh well. Let's just see what's behind this wall, k?" I asked and he nodded. I put my hand up to the scanner and a voice came out.
"Cameron Ann Morgan, Parents: Matthew Morgan and Rachel Morgan, relationship: unknown, siblings: twin: Grant Morgan." It said in a boring voice. I stepped away.
"Your turn." I said to Grant. He stepped up to it and put his hand on the scanner. It spoke again.
"Grant Joseph Morgan, parents: Matthew Morgan and Rachel Morgan, relationship: unknown, siblings: twin: Cameron Morgan." It said. The scanner went away and the wall opened up to a room. WOW! .Gosh. It couldn't be, could it? I have been searching for this room since I first came to Gallagher!
"Where are we?" Grant asked.
I could hardly believe what I was about to say, "We are in Gillian Gallagher's secret study."
