A/N: hey guys! Haven't updated in a month! HAPPY 4th OF JULY! Sorry for not updating sooner but school and stuff have been in the way. ENJOY!
"Hi Macey, Bex, Liz" I nodded calmly to each person as I said their name.
"Sorry, josh, but Cammie has to come with us now" Macey said in a honeyed voice
"Uh, sure. Bye, Cammie" Josh said before my friends pulled me out of the store and dragged me to school.
"Care to explain what that was all about?" Bex said, her arm placed on my shoulder
"I was just having a chat with Josh" I said nonchalantly, I had nothing to hide, so I didn't bother to be defensive or even try lying.
"Where's Zach now?" Liz said, somehow disappointed
"I don't know" I said, my head hung low
"Oh" she sighed as her face fell
"It's alright, Cammie. He really likes you, what I don't understand is why he'd do that" Macey said, patting my back
"I really don't want to talk about it guys" I said, I was tired and not in the mood to talk about it. For all I knew, Zach could be on a hot air balloon going to china, but I couldn't care less- was what I repeated myself, I knew it was a lie.
"But Cammie-" Liz started but Bex waved her off. We walked to Gallagher academy, each of us tired and filled with gloom. We walked past the gates and nodded to bubble gum guard. The halls were empty and quiet. The orange sunset created shadows on the grounds. We walked straight to our suite, not a single word exchanged between any of us. It was just simple sister instinct. I went straight to the bathroom, removed my clothes then stepped underneath the hot water falling. I let my worries and sadness wash through my hair into the drain. I walked out of the bathroom wearing my oldest and most comfortable pajamas.
"Are you ready to talk now, Cam?" Bex asked as nice as possible. She, Macey and Liz were huddled together in a circle, each sitting on a bean bag.
"Might as well get it over with" I said with a shrug as I sat on my own bean bag in the circle
"So, what happened after you threw your coms?" Liz said
"I went to the carnival" I said
"Tell us the whole story, Cam" Macey said, almost annoyed at my attempt to stall
I sighed before telling them the whole story. I was tired of repeating it to myself; I repeated it over and over in my mind, not letting myself forget any detail of it.
"Where is he?" Bex said as I finished telling them the story, she abruptly stood up and headed for the door. Her voice was thick and full of anger and hatred.
"Calm down, Bex" Macey said, pulling her down with a single tug.
"Why? I trusted him. I thought he wasn't just like any other guy, I thought he wasn't like Josh" Bex spat at us.
"What does Josh have anything to do with this?" Liz said, finally breaking the tension between all of us.
"He ran, Liz. He ran. He wasn't man enough to accept Cammie for who she is. Cammie's barely over her break up and another jerk dares to hurt her" Bex said, calming down and taking her seat.
"Maybe it was just a misunderstanding?" Liz said, innocently. I wish I could be like her sometimes, ignorant of the truth and its consequences.
"Don't be so naïve, Lizzie, Zach was in a dark alley. With Tina, no less" Macey said. We stared at each other for a long time, no one dared to say a word. We were left in the dark to think of the day's events as the sun finally set and the moon appeared with millions of twinkling stars right beside it. I went to my bed, nothing else seemed better than that. It was like pure bliss wrapped in one comfy cushion.
Bex's POV
As soon as we were sure that Cammie was asleep, we snuck out. We skipped dinner, but no one seemed hungry or even aware of anything else except our destination: the pigeon tower.
We entered the dust filled secret passage, cob webs were cleaned out with our recent use. Liz took out her laptop and started typing rapidly; her eyes were wide as the screen reflected on it. She looked like she was an evil computer genius, hacking into yet another super computer to retrieve data. With Liz, we might as well have been doing just that.
"It's active" Liz muttered, on command the tower was filled with the sound of deep voices and chuckling. Liz typed more codes and pressed enter. Three voices blared over the speakers on the laptop.
"Dude, what the hell were you doing with Tina?" Grant said
"We weren't doing anything" Zach said
"That's not what I heard" Jonas joined in
"She was freaking black mailing me, man!" Zach snapped
"Calm down, Goode, explain everything."
"It was during breakfast, I went ahead as usual, since you guys wanted to sleep in this morning. Tina came up to me. She showed me a picture of me dipping Cammie in the barn, when we were practicing for the C&A test. She told me that if I didn't want that picture to leak around, I had to go on a date with her. I didn't want anyone to know about my relationship with Cammie, I didn't want others to ridicule us, and I just wanted it low key. I went to the carnival with Tina; she dragged me around like a rag doll, and showed me off to people. When we got off the Ferris wheel I told her that I had to go to Cammie. She threatened to tell everyone about me and Cammie if I left. I got so mad that I cornered her in an alley, and then I saw Cammie with Jimmy. Cammie ran away and I threw Tina into a dunk tank. I went back here after that" Zach said with a sigh. He was speaking 10 words per second. Of course, as trained spies, we easily processed the words normally.
"That explains why Tina was soaking wet" Jonas said
"Then why do you have a filthy stuffed dolphin with you?" Grant asked
"Cammie dropped it" Zach said with a sigh
"That's messed up, bro" Grant said as we heard him pat Zach's back "dolphins should be handled with care"
"What are you planning to do now?" Jonas inquired. We leaned forward, wondering ourselves what his next move was.
"You'll see" Zach said. The sound of bed sheets crinkle and a switch being pressed signaled our spying was over.
"Are we going to tell Cammie?" Liz offered
"No, I want to see how Zach will fix things" Bex said, still infuriated
Liz closed the laptop. Each of us took in what we had just heard, in deadly silence
