-The Run Away
I moved the stones behind the gazebo back in place. That secret passage I just found this year, under the grand stair case. The rain was pouring hard and I didn't bring an umbrella. So instead I ran into the nearest place I could find which happen to be the 24 hour pharmacy.
I know what you're thinking, a pharmacy: what's so special about that? But the thing is this was Josh's family's pharmacy and….. Wait! I was already in disguise! A black wig, freckles (make up), and green contacts should hide me or that's what I thought. But I'd forgotten Josh always saw me.
Although I had Josh on the mind, I was thinking about if I did the right thing. What was I doing? Where was I going to go next?
"Do I know you?" Josh said, looking at me weirdly. Josh! Oh my gosh, it's Josh. Why was he looking at me like that? Oh wait, I was just standing there looking like an idiot staring into space. Great.
"Sorry!" I blurted out dumbly. "I just- It was raining and- and-"
He laughed. "It's fine"
"What's your name? Are you new here?" He smiled.
Oh, great. Yeah, I wasn't smart enough, not ready enough, to already have my cover legend ready which sucks. So instead I did what spies did best. I lied.
"Daisy Thomas, actually I'm just visiting my uncle," I lied with a fake smile on my face. "My uncle Byron. What would your name be? Wait! What are you doing up it's like 2am, right?"
"Uh, well I offered the night shift for my Dad; he'll be in here at five. My names Josh," He held out his hand as I shook it. "It's nice to meet you, Daisy."
"So where do you live, exactly?"
My phone saved me from telling another lie. "Buzz" At first I was as happy as could be; I just pretend it was my uncle. Then, I realized it was a real phone call and who could be calling me at 2am?
Author's note: Longer? Better? Honestly, I'm all for Zammie (Zach & Cammie) but I just had to include Josh(: I really like writing this.
