Yay! I finished another chapter! I made this chapter extra long to make up for my absence in it. Well I hope you like it I kind of wrote most of it through writer's block so it may be bad but I really tried to make it great!
Disclaimer: I don't own anybody in this story(unless I add some characters later on)!
Chapter 6
We walked into mom's office and closed the door.
"Hey Mom!" We said happily as we smelled burned burgers.
"Hey guys!" Mom said, smiling. She put three burgers on some plates and gave them to us.
"Thanks." We said, sitting down and starting to eat.
"So how your day going?" Mom asked us.
"Great!" We said, and it was true. Mom smiled.
"I hear that everybody is suspicious of why you guys are hanging out so much is that true?" She asked us.
"Yea everybody thinks we're dating, including our friends!" Grant said laughing with me.
"Really that could be a problem." Mom said.
"We're ok if they think that we know it's not true." I stated after Grant and I stopped laughing. Suddenly the door burst open and our friends came into the room, looking mad.
"Then what is going on!" Bex exclaimed.
"Yea, ever since school started you guys have been nothing but inseparable and you barely hang out with us!" Zach stated.
"Yea Cammie and you barely even talk to us anymore. You are quiet in all your classes, are always with Grant or doing homework after them, and you are totally quiet before bed." Liz said sadly and Macey and Bex nodded in agreement.
"Same with you Grant but instead all you ever do after classes is read, do homework, and hang out with Cammie." Jonas stated and Zach nodded. I looked at Grant, raising an eyebrow.
"You've been reading and doing homework most of the time after school?" I asked, shocked and amused. Grant smiled sheepishly. I turned back to everybody and smiled.
"That must've freaked you guys out." I exclaimed, still amused.
"Yea it did!" Jonas said.
"That's not the point of this conversation though, what is going on between you two?" Zach asked.
"Nothing." Grant stated.
"Oh don't tell us that! Something is definitely going on between you two because if there is one thing that I know about Cam it is that she would never, ever bring a boy with her to her Sunday dinner's unless something was going on between them." Bex stated angrily.
"Wait you think something like that is going on with Cammie and me?" Grant asked, astonished. Bex nodded and I doubt anybody saw the next part coming, not even mom or me. Grant stood up, strode forward, and kissed Bex on the lips, hard. Everybody stared at Grant shocked while mom and I smiled. Bex pretty much fell into him with shock but after awhile she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. Mom cleared her throat in a way that only a mother could do and they pulled away from each other, embarrassed, while we all smiled at them. I turned to everybody and spoke up.
"Well we'd love to stay and chat but we must get going!" I exclaimed to them then I turned to mom and hugged her, "Bye mom dinner was great see you later!" I said. I turned around, grabbed onto Grant's hand, headed out the door past my frozen friend's figures, and walked down the hall.
Zach's P.O.V.
I stood there in Headmistress Morgan's office totally confused on what was going on. Suddenly Cammie turned to us and started to speak.
"Well we'd love to stay and chat but we must get going!" She exclaimed. She turned to her mom and hugged her, "Bye mom, dinner was great see you later!" She stated turning around, grabbing onto Grant's hand, walking past our confused and frozen figures, going through the door, and down the hallway. After awhile I finally came back to reality and looked at Ms. Morgan confused. She stared back at me and seemed to know what I was asking. She sighed.
"I'm sorry Zach, but if they aren't telling you then it's not my right to tell you what's going on." She answered.
"Then just answer this one question." I started and she nodded, "Does it involve them dating or something like that?" She smiled and shook her head.
"It's nothing of that sort." She stated and I smiled.
"Thanks for answering the question, bye Ms. Morgan." I said, turning to my friends, walking past them, and out the door with them following right behind me. We walked up and down stairways until we reached the girls dorm. I opened the door without another thought, walked inside, and sat down on Cammie's bed.
"So what are we going to do now?" Bex asked when we all got in the room and sat down. Everybody started to think of what we should do but came up with nothing. I sighed.
"So I guess we just wait and see if Grant or Cammie will tell us what's going on or just accept that they don't want to tel-" Liz started but Bex interrupted her before she could finish.
"Guys I have something to tell you." she announced and everyone groaned.
"Not another thing we don't know!" Macey complained.
"Wait it's nothing like what's going on with Cammie and Grant, well it involves them but still it's not-" Bex explained before Macey interrupted her.
"Get on with it Bex!" She exclaimed. Bex glared at her but sighed.
"When we first started to get suspicious of Grant and Cammie me and Zach got...jealous and we...formed a plan to make them just as jealous as us." She stated, embarrassed.
"Make them jealous...how?" Macey questioned.
"Well you know how we'd always be surrounded by boys and girls?" I asked and they all nodded while Macey gasped, figuring it out.
"You made them jealous by flirting with other people!" She exclaimed and Bex and I nodded while looked down, embarrassed.
"Did you get them jealous?" Nick asked and we nodded.
"What happened when you did?" Liz asked.
"Well whenever I did it to Grant he just walked out angrily, muttering to himself." Bex stated. Everybody nodded and looked at me.
"Whenever I did it to Cammie she would stay in the room for a half hour to an hour and then stand up and leave the room, sometimes angry sometimes calm and then sad and tearful." I stated sadly. They started to nod but stopped and looked at me shocked and confused.
"How many times did you try?" Jonas asked.
"About three times." I stated.
"Well what happened each time?" Liz asked.
"Well the first time she sat on the couch reading a book seeming to get frustrated and angry each second. After acouple minutes Grant came in, made some comment about her, she yelled at him, played a trick on him, and ran out of the room while Grant chased after her. Another time was today when I was in the library she was on the couch thinking to herself and after awhile she got up from the couch and started to walk out the door but stopped when a girl in the crowd around me couldn't take it anymore...and kissed me on the lips. Cammie ran out, I followed her to the secret passageway apologized to her and you guys know the rest." I explained and they nodded but Nick stopped immediantly.
"Wait you said you did it three times but you only explained two times, what was the other one?" He pushed. I scratched my head nervously.
"Well the last time I didn't explain it because...I really don't know what happened." I answered. They stared at me as if expecting me to go on so I did, "Well it was right in between the two other times. I was in the library as usual and she was reading a book. Awhile later she got very aggravated, slammed the book shut, pushed up from the couch, stopped across the room, shoved the book in the bookcase, and stopped out the door to some unknown place to me." I stated.
"Did you check the passageway or this room?" Liz asked and I nodded.
"I checked everywhere she would be and I couldn't find her." I explained.
"Which direction was she heading when she left the room?" Jonas asked.
"Left." I stated. We sat there for a while.
"So what's left?" Macey asked absentmindedly. Everybody started to think for a while when suddenly Jonas sat up in his chair, spun around, and started typing on his laptop furiously, just like Liz did.
"What are you guys doing?" Nick asked them. They didn't answer him for acouple seconds but then they did.
"Well what is one other place that Cammie would go other than those first options?" Jonas asked while typing and we all shrugged.
"Who's the person she has been hanging out with the most for the past couple of weeks?" He asked instead.
"Grant why?" Macey asked.
"So don't you think she would go to Grant if she was mad?" Jonas asked and we nodded.
"So where would Grant right now?" Jonas pushed.
"Facing Bex's side of the plan?" Macey guessed but Jonas shook his head. Suddenly Bex shot up.
"His room! He'd be in your room!" She exclaimed and Jonas nodded.
"So? What has that got to do with finding out why?" I asked.
"Well the academy has a bunch of hidden cameras in each room so I'm tapping into them to see if I can get the video from that day." He stated, "Zach what was the date and time of that part of the plan?" He asked. I told him and he turned back to the computer.
"Got it!" Liz exclaimed. We looked over at her questioningly.
"I tapped into the library cameras to see if I can here their conversation from the first time. Here it is." She said. We crowded around the laptop except for Jonas who was madly typing on his laptop. A video popped up and Liz pressed play.
~~~~First part of plan~~~~
It was after dinner and Cammie was in the library taking a break, but that wasn't going to happen. As soon as she walked in I saw a bunch of girls crowded around me laughing and smiling. She went to the bookshelf and picked out a book and sat down at the couch. She was trying to read but I knew she couldn't concentrate because of all the laughter coming from the group of girls surrounding me. She gripped the book tighter, and it looked like she was half ready to come into this group and walk out, pulling me out with her. She started to glare at the book and take deep breaths. Grant walked up to her and sat on the couch.
"You look like you could take a bull head on and win." Grant commented.
"Do you not see the way those girls are drooling over him!" She said, my voice dripping with anger and jealousy. Yes she was jealous, really jealous, I thought happily.
"Awww, is little Cammie Wammie jealous?" Grant asked in a baby voice. I smiled same old Grant. Cammie glared at him.
"Of course I am!" She exclaimed, still glaring at him. Suddenly an idea crossed her face but disappeared in a second.
"Aren't you jealous of all those guys surrounding Bex?" She asked, pretending to be angry which wasn't hard since she already was. Grant sat up shocked and wide-eyed.
"What! Where is she?" He asked, clearly angry and jealous. All of us burst out laughing along with Cammie and some people looked over at her, including me, because she never laugh this loud. Grant looked at Cammie confused.
"You...should have...seen...your...face!" She exclaimed between laughter, he scowled.
"Ha ha very funny! Now stop." He said but she didn't stop and neither did we, his face was priceless! Good thing we have it on video so we can watch his reaction again.
"That's it you're getting it!" Grant exclaimed angrily. Cammie stopped laughing and stared at him wide-eyed and we did to, staring at the laptop screen confused, what did he mean by that? I thought. Cammie looked really scared and I was immediantly worried and concerned on what was going to happen.
"You wouldn't." She stated hesitantly.
"Yes I will." He answered. Suddenly Cammie stood up and bolted out of the room yelling, "Not if you can't catch me!" She ran out the door and ran down the hallway with Grant following right after her and Liz stopped the video.
~~~~End of first plan~~~~
"Welp that revealed absolutely nothing!" Nick exclaimed and Liz glared at him.
"Well maybe this will." Jonas added and we turned to him. We saw a video screen on his laptop and we surrounded him he pressed play.
~~~~Boy's room right after second part of plan~~~~
Grant was sitting on his bed reading a book when suddenly the door burst open to reveal a crying Cammie and I felt like my heart was being torn in half. Grant looked up from his bed and when he saw the tears on her face he quickly jumped up from it and ran to her.
"Cammie, what happened?" He asked, worried but she just hugged him tightly and I hate to admit it but jealousy overcame me. Grant hugged her back and she sobbed into his shoulder and because of that my jealousy evaporated quickly to be replaced by worry for her. Grant rubbed her back and started to hum a song to her. Wow he's actually singing to her, he must really care about her, I thought. The song seemed to calm Cammie down and she soon stopped crying. They stood there hugging each other for a while before Cammie pulled away.
"Cammie what happened?" Grant asked.
"Well I was trying to find some information on the group that kidnapped you," Kidnapped him? When? Who? Why? How? "To see if I could find out their name or at least narrow down the list but I found nothing and..." She trailed off.
"What?" He asked.
"And it seems like Zach and Bex are actually really taking their plan seriously." Cammie stated simply. Wait they know about the plan? How? We never told anybody about it! Ohhh, they must have overheard us talking about it!
"What happened?" He asked.
"Well I went into the library and Zach was surrounded by girls." She started.
"How many girls?" Grant asked.
"A lot, around 20 but more kept coming so I couldn't keep count." She answered and Grant groaned. Why is he angry because of that? Is he really that close to Cam?
"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," She stopped to take a deep breath, this hurt and effected her more than I thought it would.
"And?" He said, gesturing for her to continue.
"And I sort of exploded from all the frustration." She stated. Yes she was really angry.
"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." Cammie explained quietly. Grant stared at her, 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.
"Grant, it's 6:15, we should head down to dinner now so we won't be late." She told him and they headed down to dinner.
~~~~End of boy's room video from the second part of the plan~~~~
"Did you see how close they were?" Bex seethed and we all nodded.
"What I'm wondering is what Cammie meant by Grant getting kidnapped." I stated and everybody nodded.
"Yea what did she mean by that? As far as I know Grant's never been kidnapped for as long as I have known him." Jonas stated.
"They act as if they've known each other their whole life." Liz noted.
"Yea they are so close and I'm starting to feel left out of Cammie's life." Macey stated sadly.
"Yea and I'm feeling left out of Grant's life too." Nick added and we all agreed with them silently, we all felt like that. They've been hanging out a lot and the more they hang out together the less they hang out with us. And what about her bringing Grant to her Sunday dinner? Did Cammie and Mrs. Morgan lie to me about her not liking Grant? Did she really love me like she said? Grant's been acting a lot more like Cammie and he's gotten really protective of her the past couple of weeks they have been hanging out, does that mean he likes her? No he couldn't, he likes Bex he told me that and he wasn't lying because his body stayed the same throughout it. Did he really tell me the truth or is he that experienced in lying? He wouldn't lie to me about that, would he?
He knows how much I love Cammie and he would tell me if he liked Cammie. At least I think he will, the past couple of weeks I have felt like I barely know him and that Cammie, Mrs. Morgan, and Grant are keeping a lot of things from me. Is it something so secretive that only they can know? Or do they just not trust me since they barely know anything about me? I don't tell anybody about me or my life because I want them to know me right now and not judge me because of my life and everything that I have seen or done.
Also I'm…afraid that once they find out they will stop being with me and won't trust me anymore -if they don't already- because of it. That's why I hide behind a cover, because I'm scared that I'll be all alone in the world and be trusted by no one because of it and all I'll have is everything involving my past and that thought terrifies me. Cammie's the only one who's really seen the really me that scared, helpless, sensitive, and sad me, the non-spy me. That's why I am trying to protect Cammie because she is the only person who knows the real me and knows that my past was terrifying and scary but she still acts the same and is there for me when I need someone.
If it weren't for Cammie I would have probably given myself up to my past and just died. Cammie is my life I love her too much to let her go, but if I have to for her to be happy than I will, because she deserves to be happy and to take that away from her would kill me. If she wants to be with Grant, no matter how much it will hurt me, I will let her go and never bother them again.
"So what are we going to do now?" Liz asked after acouple minutes but nobody answered we were too lost in thought to. What are we going to do now? It's a good question but it's one I can't answer. We sat still for acouple minutes more. That was until we heard the scream.
Cliffy! Don't kill me because of it I had to I just couldn't resist! Here how's this, if you kill me then I can't finish this story! Good excuse? Ok, whew I was scared for a second there! By the way the next chapter will be in Grant and Cammie's P.O.V. starting from when Cammie dragged Grant out of their mom's office. Welp bye I'll write another chapter as soon as I can!
