Chapter 6
"The Circle Of Cavan?" I asked.
So they're not done with me…
"(Sigh) yeah." Zach replied and started twiddling his thumbs.
"What about them?" I asked.
I am playing dumb here…
"I think they wanted to kill you." He said.
Um… that was something I didn't want to hear him say…
"I pretty much figured that out already." I said flatly.
Yep, everyone figures that.
"Did Grant and Jonas tell you that much?" Zach exclaimed.
To Bex and Liz… (Shh…)
"No…" I sighed. "The Circle always tried to kill me."
Nothing new huh…
"Oh." He said as if it was a 'I should've known answer.'
I feel bad for him…
"But what does it have to do with you?" I asked.
What's wrong with me? Asking that type of question.
"What do you mean?" Zach looked out of the window.
Oh look pretty bird.
"Why are you at the Gallagher Academy?" I replied.
"I just want you to be safe that's all." He said and sat on my bed.
Awe…
Not exactly my bed, probably in the nurse's office or something.
This bed is soft!
"I am safe." I said. "We have good fighters here."
"Yeah, but…" He touched the cut on my head and I blushed. (Hey, wouldn't you feel all blush-y like when a guy touches your head?) "It's just not the same."
"I know you care about me, but don't worry so much Zach." I said softly.
This is so his sweet side!
"I don't want the Circle to ever hurt you again, or I will…" He stopped.
"If that does happen, then I will run away, to keep everyone from danger." I stated. And that was the truth.
"No." He said. "I don't want you to run away. I know you want to do it for everyone's safety, but you will still be in danger."
"That's the chance I'll have to take." I climbed out of my bed and started walking towards the door.
"Gallagher Girl."
I stopped.
"If you ever do run away," He stepped closer. "At least take me with you."
"Zach…"
I knew protesting would make it worse. He smirked and I knew it meant that he won the 'supposed to be argument.' Fighting with him was pointless so I leaned towards him and kissed him.
