A/N: HEY GUYS! Haven't written for a while! I'm so sorry for that. I keep forgetting to post this! School isn't fun, if anyone has said otherwise, THEY ARE LYING. Hope you like this chappie! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS FLUFF FLUFF FLUFFY MARsHMALLOWS
"Oh my god, pull it off already!" I yelled, pain coursing through my veins
"Breathe Cammie" Bex said beside me
"Ughhhh, I just want it to end" I groaned
"Oh my gosh, it's out!" Macey said in victory
"That was hell" I said, wiping sweat that tricked down my body
"Don't be such a drama queen" Bex said, rolling her eyes
"I'm sorry! I don't always wax my legs you know!" I said
They spent most of after class waxing my legs. The moment I told Macey that I usually shave, she was eager enough to force me into something I didn't want to do. At least my legs were all smoothy smooth now. I walked out of our bathroom in my pjs. I was exhausted. I threw myself on my bed and covered my face with a pillow. I fell asleep with the sound of Macey and Bex forcing to put false eyelashes on Liz.
I woke up as the rays of light escaped through the small spaces in the curtains, hitting my eyes. It was 4 in the morning, just three hours before we had to get up. I took a quick bath, changed to my uniform and left without making a sound, literally. I walked around the grounds, some students –from both Gallagher and Blackthorne- were jogging and wandering around. I walked to the library, the embers were fading red, I walked to the softest couch where I usually sat on cold nights. The crackle of the wood in the fireplace filled my ears. After a few minutes I dozed off to light slumber. I felt the seat beside me grow heavy as someone occupied it. Even with my eyes closed I felt him give a smirk. I tried to lift my arms in a weak attempt to hit him but he just dodged it and held it in his own hand. He shook me gently and threw a pillow to my face while he snickered softly
"Zaaaaaach, leave me alone" I whined, weakly throwing the pillow back
"Come on, Gallagher girl, classes are starting" He said softly. I stood up abruptly and my knees gave in, making me fall back onto Zach's lap. I felt him smile through the back of my head as he wrapped his arms around me. "Not getting enough sleep?" he asked
"Just get me to class" I said, panicking
"Nope, off to the nurse with you" He said as he lifted my body with both his arms. He put an arm under my knees and the other on my back for support. Or bridal style for those who are having a hard time visualizing it.
"Zach! Bring me to class!" I yelled, my voice ringing in the empty corridor
"Sure Gallagher girl, I'll carry you like this and barge in class and pronounce us newlywed" He joked
"Ugh, fine, but we better be back in time for second period" I groaned. He carried me in silence as we –or rather, he- walked to the clinic.
"So, why are you so sickly today, GG?" Zach said
"Don't ask. GG?" I replied
"Short for Gallagher girl"
"Why not just call me Cammie like every other normal person would?"
"Well, you're not just every other normal person to me"
"Gallagher girl could be any girl who are and have studied in this school"
"So? Who else do you know who's named Gallagher girl?"
"No one"
"Precisely" He said with a smile of victor. He pushed the clinic doors opened and laid me down on the nearest bed.
"What seems to be the problem, dear?" the head nurse turned said as she turned to me
"Fatigue" Zach replied, leaning on a nearby chair
"And so close to the ball too. Just sleep up, take these vitamins every 3 hours and here's a slip to excuse you from major projects" she said sweetly. She gave me a slip of paper and a bottle of multivitamins
"I don't think that's necessary, ma'am. I don't need the excuse slip" I hurriedly said and pushed back the arm extended towards me holding the slip.
"Oh, please, you're no good a spy to us dead." She said handing the slip to Zach "Make sure her teachers see this"
"Yes, ma'am" Zach saluted to her. She chuckled softly
"You make a nice couple" she said
"Oh, we're not a couple" I said, looking at Zach
"Not yet at least" She mumbled softly and returned to her desk
Zach helped me out of the bad and made me drink my vitamins. He walked me to language class where everyone was brushing up on their German. Zach went to the teacher and handed him the pass. He nodded with agreement and Zach went to sit beside me on the table.
"What'd he say?" I said, not bothering to speak German
"He excused both of us for the day" he said
"Both of us?'
"Yup"
We didn't talk a few minutes after that. My gaze directed to him as I spaced out, imagining what the ball would be like. I may be a spy, but I'm also a teenager.
"Can't get enough of me, huh?" he smirked
"You flatter yourself too much" I said, rolling my eyes
"So, has anyone asked you to the ball?" he joked
"Yeah, there's this guy, older than us, he came from Blackthorne too. He's really tall, a great spy, and he is one gorgeous guy"
"Wow, I didn't expect that Gallagher girl. What'd you say?" he muttered, his cockiness was gone and replaced with gloom
"Yes, of course, he was practically forcing me to go!"
"Maybe I should do a background check on that guy, just to be safe. What's his name?"
"Solomon, Joe Solomon" I smirked at him
"You had me there for a second, GG" He said as he breathed a breath of relief. The teacher dismissed us and let us leave for lunch.
"I know" I smiled as I stood up and walked out the door before he could regain his composure
