Here is the update that should have come months ago. Sorry life is too busy sometimes. How are you guys? Hows school? How was your Christmas Break? NOT looking forward to school Monday... Hope you are all well! Enjoy :)
Cammie's POV:
I rolled over and hoped to see Zach, there was nothing but an empty bed that looked like it hadn't even been touched. Grant was up too, the rest were asleep.
"Did he come back last night?" I asked Grant.
He shook his head, "He had detention but I don't know where he went after that."
"Wait why'd he have detention?"
Grant's eyes got big for a second before he hid it, "Um I'm not too sure why he had it?"
"Common Grant tell me."
"I've been sworn to secrecy," he said smiling.
I laughed and threw my pillow at him, "You are hopeless."
I got out of bed and decided to go down and get some breakfast, it was a Saturday morning so Grant decided to go back to sleep. I quickly slipped out of my pajamas and tried to quietly open the door. I was too focused on closing the door to hear someone walk up behind me.
"Hey Cammie," Thomas said.
I almost jumped, my spy skills are at an all time low right now, "Hi Thomas."
"So you heading down to breakfast?"
"Umm yeah."
"Cool."
I started walking away but then he decided to walk with me.
"You don't mind me walking with you, do you?"
I really did mind it but it was too early to try and shake him off so I shook my head.
He laughed, "You know I would have walked with you no matter what you said."
I didn't reply to this but picked up the pace a little.
Right before we got to the dining hall he grabbed my arm pulling me towards him. I looked up at him and he was smirking, not my Zach's smirk.
Before I could react he leaned down and kissed me, "Have a good day Cammie."
He walked away before I had time to say anything and I was left feeling dumbfounded. Grant walked up to me a moment later and patted me on the back, "Common Cammie let's get inside."
We walked inside and I could feel everyone's eyes on me. Choosing to ignore it we walked to our normal seats and tried to act as normal as possible, and so the day continued.
I didn't see Zach all day but I also didn't see Thomas so it was okay. After my last class I decided to go and talk to Joe even though I knew I had a lot of homework to do.
As I was approaching the door I could hear yelling and stopped to try and listen but it was too muffled, instead I opened the door and inside I saw a chaotic scene. Zach and Thomas were sitting next to each other angrily glaring at each other and Joe was standing behind his desk yelling into the phone to someone, next to him was my mom.
Joe stopped when he heard the door slam and slowly he and my mom turned around.
…."Mom what are you doing here?"
She looked at me but frowned and looked disapprovingly at me.
Joe quickly spoke into the phone and hung up.
"Cammie I'm glad you came when you did, I was just about to come get you." Joe said.
I began hesitantly, "Joe what's this about?"
"Well after talking to these two young men here," he stopped to point to them, "it has come to my attention that maybe you have become too much of a distraction to them."
I opened my mouth ready to protest but my mother cut me off, "I fully agree with him and you are coming with me and going to go to a spy school for all girls. There will be no distractions, and you will learn to work harder. I will be checking up on you more often and you will give me more respect Cameron."
I turned to Joe giving him a pleading look, he looked sorry but there was nothing he could do.
"Cameron go pack your things, we leave in ten minutes."
I couldn't argue with my mom and gave Zach a desperate look as I walked out of the room.
Luckily there was no one in my room when I got there so I quickly packed up my stuff and wrote a note apologizing for everything and telling Zach I still liked him, not Thomas.
I walked back to Joe's office and then was quickly marched out to the parking lot with my mom before I could even say good bye.
The trip to my new school took a few hours, but then we were back in Roseville. I was about to question what we were doing back when my mom made a couple turns and we were in a part of town I had never seen before. Up in front of us was a large mansion and before I knew it the gates opened and my mom was driving up to the mansion.
She stopped in front of the mansion and turned to look at me, "Cameron Ann Morgan, you will behave yourself here else there will be extreme consequences. If I hear even one complaint I swear-"
My mother was cut off when a group of students walked out of the doors and walked over to the car greeting us. Immediately I recognized a few of them, but was not about to tell her this.
I got out of the car as my mom drove off and ran up to Bex and Macey hugging them.
"I've missed you guys so much!" We were all hugging and crying and I was so happy to be with them again.
After all the excitement had stopped they decided to show me the mansion. I was going to be staying in the same room with them, and taking all of the same classes with them.
When we got to the room I heard a familiar typing and ran inside and hugged Liz, gosh I'd missed these girls.
We all wanted to catch up but had to go to dinner first, the weekend was tomorrow anyways.
Dinner was a blast, everyone was surprised to see a new girl and I knew most of them anyways. I was so excited to tell the girls about my time at Blackthorn though and I knew they were eager to hear about all the boys.
We all layed down on the ground with snacks all around us as I started telling them about what classes were like there and all the training we were doing. Mostly the girls just wanted to know about their crushes but tried to act interested, Bex had it bad for Grant.
Mostly they just wanted to know if they would ever be coming to Gallagher or if we would see them again but I didn't have answers for them. I hoped that we would see them again soon, but there was no telling when.
Zach's POV:
Seeing in that room with Joe and her mom made me feel awful about myself. Thomas' and I let our problems get the best of us and now Cammie is being shipped off to some other school. I can't believe I let her leave without at least saying good bye, now I have no clue how I am going to fix this.
When Cammie and her mom left Mr. Solomon talked to us for a little bit about how we would be getting weeks of detention and then he shooed us out of the room before classes started.
I caught up with Grant as he was walking out of our room and he just nodded at me, I could tell he was pissed.
"So you heard?" I asked.
He nodded.
"Dude I'm sorry but I had no clue he was going to call her mom!"
Grant looked beyond pissed, "Zach you hurt her so much and then going off and getting in trouble with Thomas! Now she is stuck with her hell of a mom just like before! Remember what our mission was for in the first place?"
I didn't say anything, Grant was right I had screwed everything up.
Liz's POV:
Cammie coming to school has been great! Also she gave me Jonas' email address. :)))
Jonas and I have been in contact about everything! He is such a great guy to talk to! But mostly we have been discussing why Cammie left in the first place, he said that he was going over the footage that he had from Mr. Solomon's office but something weird because there were multiple minutes missing from the footage. When he tried to go and retrieve it he said it was completely gone.
Both of us decided this was completely weird and he decided to do more research… I think it has something to do with Cammie's mom but I was not going to say anything, especially to Cammie she is still too confused about Zach.
Cammie's POV:
"So my mom writes a magazine and I was wondering if I could have your opinion on something?"
"Go away Tina."
"Okay how about some info about Zach?"
"Tin-"
"Please Cammie! All of us are dying to know about the boys and their school!"
Suddenly every head in the cafeteria turns towards me. It's been almost a month now and they still won't stop bothering me about this!
I sigh, "It's a school like ours but you know different and they are boys, most of you have met them before."
"Cammie we need more info than that."
"TINA SHUT UP!" Macey comes storming into the cafeteria then, she is as over all these questions as I am. She had to go through all of this when she came to the Gallagher Girl Academy a few years ago after her dad was running for president.
I give her a smile and she sits next to me, Bex and Liz are nowhere to be seen but Liz has been acting weird recently.
"So you excited for today?"
I smile at her and give her a thumbs up.
"Today is going to be awesome."
"What time did Professor Buckingham tell us to meet her outside?"
"10, so that gives me exactly one hour and five minutes to get you dressed and do your makeup."
"Macey!"
"Shut up Cammie, you know you wanna meet someone hot and look good while on this mission."
I sigh, she's right but I don't want to go through Macey's torture.
One hour and three minutes later all four of us are running down the stairs to meet Professor Buckingham in time to get on the plane to go to our mission.
We make it outside to the plane just in time.
"Well isn't it nice to see you all."
We smile shyly, she is not one for tardiness.
When we get on the plane she gives us blindfolds to put on and the plane promptly starts. Bex falls asleep as soon as she sits down and I try and sleep hoping the ride goes fast.
When we get touch down we are led outside and then are told to take off our blindfolds, we are in the middle of the woods.
"Ladies today your goal is to navigate out of the woods, find your partner and then find me by the mall."
All of us look around completely confused and Bex raises her hand.
"Yes Rebecca?"
"Who are our partners?"
Professor Buckingham smiles to herself, "Oh I"m sure you will meet them soon. You have three hours, your time begins…...Now!"
Most of us stand there for a minute trying to decide in which way to go and i just decide to start walking straight ahead, everyone begins to go their own way and no one follows me.
After walking in the woods for about twenty minutes I begin to feel quite lost and then I see something in the tree in front of me. There is a red note taped to the tree
"Look up Gallagher Girl"
I internally groan and look up, in the trees are about a hundred boys all from Blackthorn, they must be our partners but none of them seem to be making a move to come down the tree.
"So which one of you is my partner?" I yell up to the trees.
Still none of them make a move and then all of the sudden I feel a tap on my shoulder.
"Hi Cammie."
"Zach."
We stand staring at each other for a minute or two. Zach has his hands in his pocket, digging his shoes into the dirt looking nervous.
He starts awkwardly motioning in front of him, "I think we should keep going right?"
"Uh yeah."
We walk in silence for awhile and then it hits me, why is he not doing anything and why were they hiding in the trees?
"Are you going to tell me why you are here or do I have to guess."
He opened his mouth like he wanted to say something and then closed it again.
"Zach?"
"I uh can't, it's part of our mission."
I have no clue what his mission could possibly be. We continue walking though and then all of the sudden I see a break in the trees, "Zach we are in D.C."
He smirks, "I know."
As we are walking into D.C. I suddenly realize why we are going to the mall, not an actual mall but the National Mall.
Zach still hasn't said much but we find the mall, but no sign of Professor Buckingham.
We walk around a few times and there is nothing, but there is a strange man following us. As he makes his rounds I stop him to talk and realize it's Joe!
"Joe what are we doing here?"
He smiles, "I am here for Professor Buckingham to tell you congratulations you made it this far now your next challenge is to make it to the ruby slippers without making a scene and it looks like you have one hour left, but you are the first one here."
I'm about to say something and then he disappears again.
I turn to Zach and he has a smirk on his face, "Zach what are you?"
Zach doesn't say anything and instead he picks me up and starts spinning and singing like a drunken man.
I look down about to yell at him when he winks at me and runs carrying me into a hotel. He runs over to the sitting behing the counter.
"Mam I need to book a room right now" he practically yells with a goofy grin on his face.
She starts booking a room and Zach keeps talking.
"My lady and I here," he points at me still over his shoulder, "we need a room because I love her so so so much and I need to show her that."
He winks at me and I want to yell at him so bad but he puts me down and starts kissing. He grabs the key from the lady and picks me up and kisses me while running down the hall.
We make it to the room and he throws me down on the bed and kisses me hungrily.
I know I have a mission but being here with Zach is just so nice and I miss him.
He begins kissing my neck and I try and push him off, "Zach I-"
"Cammie I'm so sorry for everything and I just want to make it up to you." He looks at me with his puppy dog eyes and I want to say yes but I know it's so wrong.
"Zach I have to finish this mission."
"Cams please."
"Common Zach I have to do this."
I begin walking towards the door and then all of the sudden he is in front of me.
"You are not walking out of this room."
"Zach."
He tries to kiss me and I duck.
"Zach I have less than ten minutes to make it to the shoes."
He smirks at me, "I know but would you rather be here with me or there?"
I look up at him and all of the sudden I know exactly what he's been doing, he wants me to not make it! "You asshole!"
I kick him hard in his place and sprint out of the room hoping to make it just in time to the slippers.
Grant's POV:
When Bex finds me she is more than happy to walk in the woods with me, and with less than an hour left well let's just say we never made it out of the woods. ;)
Liz's POV:
I knew what this mission was, Jonas and I planned it. So before we left I made myself a map, avoided where the boys were hiding and made it into the city. The twist with Mr. Solomon was something I hadn't planned though and unfortunately Jonas was waiting for me there.
I miss Jonas but I still wanted to win the mission and Jonas was going to be very distracting.
"Hey Liz you wanna sit and chat for a bit?"
I smiled, we had been talking a lot online and I did want to talk to him plus I still had about an hour left.
With five minutes left of the mission though I suddenly looked at my watch and realized I had lost….
Nick's POV:
Macey along with most of the girls got extremely lost in the woods and we ending up going to look for them after the mission had finished. We ended up being extra late to our meeting point after "catching up."
Cammie's POV:
Two minutes left….
Come on Cammie you can do it.
I am running as fast as I can and I can feel someone running next to me.
"What the hell! Zach how did you get there?"
Zach looks awful, I can tell I hurt him.
"Cammie I just wanted to tell you I am so so sorry for everything I did. I mean it, I want you to finish the mission and I'm going to help you."
"What about earlier?"
His eyes look so sad, "That was our mission, I'm so sorry I should have ignored it but I really wanted to kiss you and I took this as my chance."
I smiled at him and Professor Buckingham, we had made it.
Professor Buckingham gave me an approving look, "Congratulations Cammie to be the only one to make it here. I see you have met Zachary," she paused to look at him and nodded, "I hope you two become very good friends. You two will be seeing quite a bit of each other especially with the Gallagher and Blackthorne Exchange."
Zach and I look at each other excitedly and before I know it Zach has me against the wall kissing me. What a great rest of the year it's going to be.
Please write a review...thoughts? inspiring words to motivate me to write the next chapter?
Anything?
