Disclaimer- Ally Carter owns all. Any characters not mentioned in the series are part of my imagination. The events of GG4 have not happened but the events of GG1, 2, & 3 have.
This is a longer chapter than usual. I hope you like it! I will update before Saturday. I am going to Sleep away camp for two weeks so I will not update from July 18 until August 3. Sorry, but there are no computers allowed.
Cammie's POV
I really didn't want to leave Zach but I had to. I took his hat with me. That night I fell asleep wearing Zach's shirt. That morning I woke up at 5 o'clock to get ready for the day. I was really tired but dragged myself into the shower and put on short jean shorts and light blue tank that was really tight. I just put on light makeup and straightened my hair. Then I made my way to the entrance of the school. I saw Zach standing there in a navy blue muscle shirt like the black one I took from him.
"Hey Gallagher girl, come to give my hat back?" He asked hopefully.
"Nope. I just wanted to say goodbye to my boyfriend." I said with a smile.
"Bye Gallagher Girl. See you around." Zach replied with a smirk.
"No you won't Mr. Goode." Mr. Soloman cut in.
"Come here blackthorn boy. I am going to kiss you now." I whispered as I pulled him into a secret passage way. We kissed for 2 minutes and 23 seconds until we were interrupted by Sarah's voice.
"Zachy? Are you still here?" It was 5:56. Of course he was still here. We slipped out of the wall and Zach's sister ran to give him a hug.
"Where did you come from?" She asked him. All he did was smirk.
"Well, I better get going."
"Bye Zachy, I'll miss you."
"Goodbye Blackthorn boy."
"Bye Sarah, Gallagher Girl." He smirked on last time before getting into the helicopter and leaving. Then an idea popped into my head.
"Sarah, wait up." I yelled.
"Hey Cammie, what's up?" She asked.
"Well I was wondering if you knew where blackthorn was." if she knows she would tell me, right?
"Why should I tell you." Smart girl.
"Because I can get rid of all the bugs and cameras that Zach planted in your room." This is an offer she can never resist.
"I will tell you but first you have to get rid of the bugs." Very smart girl.
"Deal." Then I shook her hand.
- in Sarah's room -
"Okay, all the bugs and cameras are gone but this one." I stated.
"What are you going to do with that?" I was holding up a camera.
"Nothing, I think that I might want to have some fun." I said with a smile on my face.
"Whatever. Just so you know, Blackthorn is in Malibu, CA (random city that popped into my head) on a hill. People think that it is a mansion belonging to a C.E.O. of a big company in Asia. Don't try and sneak in there. I'm warning you." California, that's far. I won't try but it is good information to have nonetheless. Information that Zach doesn't know I have because I disabled the listening device on the camera for a while.
"Thanks, and I won't try to sneak into Blackthorn. See you later." Now back to my room to send a little message to Zach. I went into my room and closed the door. I looked into the camera after turning the listening device back on and said,
"I know where blackthorn is. This is the last bug from Sarah's room. I won't try to sneak into blackthorn and I won't tell my roommates where it is but all I can say is that it must take a long time for you to get all the way to Malibu from Gallagher. I'll call you tonight. Love you Zach bye!" With that I turned off the camera and spent the rest of the day looking for more secret passageways. I did find one, and it led to a secret room. That will be our room this year.
Zach's POV
When I got to blackthorn I was greeted by Grant, Jonas, and Sam. My roommates and I (Sam is Zach's roommate) went into my room.
"Hey guys, I've told you that my little brother starts Blackthorn this year right." Grant asked.
"Ya, and you all know about Sarah." I said. Then I pulled out my macbook pro and looked at the bugs.
"WTF, how did she find all the bugs already? She hasn't had any training." I said mostly to myself.
"Zach dude, calm down. There is probally one bug left." Jonas responded. Then I saw that one of my cameras had some video feed on it. I saw Cammie talking to Sarah but there was no audio and then there was only Cammie with a smirk on her face saying, "I know where blackthorn is. This is the last bug from Sarah's room. I won't try to sneak into blackthorn and I won't tell my roommates where it is but all I can say is that it must take a long time for you to get all the way to Malibu from Gallagher. I'll call you tonight. Love you Zach bye!" Wow. How did she find out where Blackthorn was. I guess my roommates saw too because they were all frozen in shock. Sam was the first to speak.
"Who was that hottie on the screen?" Sam asked. He has never seen Cammie before, but he has heard me talking about her. I just punched him in the face giving him a black eye.
"Never lay a hand on my Gallagher Girl!" I said between my clenched teeth, and then I stormed out the door dragging Jonas with me. I needed him to hack into something for me.
"Jonas, can you tell me when we are going to Gallagher for the exchange?" I asked wanting to get to the bottom of this. He was on the computer for 5 minutes before giving me my answer.
"Next Monday night. Late, like midnight. We leave Blackthorn at 8 next Monday night." He said reading it off of the screen. I will have to wait a week to see my Gallagher Girl. That is not so bad. I'm afraid of what Soloman would do to me if I tried to sneak into the school. Just then Grant and Sam came down the hallway. I was not ready to see that boy so I just talked to Grant acting like Sam wasn't there.
"So Grant, see your 'British bombshell' during break?" I teased. He frowned.
"No, but we talked on the phone all the time and we texted. She was away on some mission with her parents." I could tell that he was disappointed.
"What about you Jonas, see Liz over the summer?" Again, teasing. He blushed.
"Yes, we went to the same science sleep away camp." He said nervously. Cough stocker cough.
"Let's go down to eat, I'm sooooooo hungry!" Grant moaned. Good, back to classic Grant. We headed down to the dinning room and started to eat.
- the next Monday 1:00 pm -
Cammie's POV
"Cammie!" Bex, Liz and Macey said in unison while running up to hug me. I hugged them back. They were the first upper-classmen that have been here ever since Zach left. Speaking of Zach, he sent me an e-mail yesterday explaining why he hasn't been answering his phone, or e-mail the last few days. Ever since Wednesday actually.
- flashback-
I put my phone away. It was the 28th time that I checked it today. Zach hasn't texted me or called since Wednesday. Uggggghhhh! I checked my e-mail for any new messages. There was one, from... Zach? I hope it was him.

Gallagher Girl-
I'm really sorry that I haven't been answering my phone. Grant threw it at the wall on Wednesday after I texted you that morning. I am trying to get a new one soon. I love you. See you soon.

- end flashback -
We all stepped apart. Macey looked at my outfit and frowned.
"What are you wearing?" She asked, clearly disappointed.
"Grey leggings and Zach's black shirt. Why." I answered with confidence. I really wanted to keep wearing his shirt because it smelled just like him.
"Why do you have Zach's shirt?" Liz and Bex said together.
"I also have his favorite hat." I said with a small smile.
"Spill." They all said at the same time. I told them the story. And we talked about our summers. Apparently Liz went to the same camp as Jonas, Macey met someone named Sam who she really likes, and Bex went on a super cool mission with her parents but could only talk on the phone and text with him. By the time it was dinner, we were all unpacked, caught up, and planning on how to see if this Sam was a spy because Macey was a little suspicious. We headed down to dinner and after the pledge, my mom welcomed us back and we started to plan our movie marathon.
"So everyone, I have m and m s, skittles, and sour patch kids. And we are going to have a Harry Potter Marathon. Is that correct." I restated.
"Don't forget popcorn!" Mick reminded us.
"Why would we?" I laughed. Then we headed up to the juniors' "living room" and set up the movie. Then we went into our separate rooms and changed into our pjs. I wore really pj shorts from last year (I didn't have any other clean ones) that were really short, but oh well, and a tank top. My roommates wore similar pjs and we dragged our beanbags and blankets into our movie room. Liz set an alarm just in case we all fell asleep during the movies and started our movie marathon.
Zach's POV
We were leaving to go to Gallagher in one hour. I packed up all my things, put on a muscle shirt (Cammie said I should wear them more often) and went to the helicopter pad with Grant. Like me, he really wanted to go to Gallagher. There were 16 of us coming this year, the original 15 and Sam who decided to not sneak out last year so he could go to Gallagher with us this semester. 60 minutes later we left for Gallagher listening to Grant snore. That boy can sleep anywhere. When we get to Gallagher I am going to find Cammie, pull her into that passageway behind the tapestry and kiss her. In my head it was perfect. 2 hours later, we landed and got our instructions.
"Only one Gallagher Girl knows that we are coming. If any of the other students see you, you will be sent back to Blackthorn." Dr. Steve stated. Cammie is the one Gallagher Girl that knows. I just know it. Soloman approached us.
"Ok, all of you go to the rooms that you stayed in last semester. Mr. Johnson (Sam) you will be rooming with your regular roommates. I'm sure Mr. Newman can show you to where you will be staying. Everyone you are dismissed, but Mr. Goode please stay here." Uh oh. What does Soloman want? Everyone left and Soloman approached me. He was about to speak but I cut him off.
"I didn't try to get in here." I smirked trying to lighten the mood.
"Listen Zach, and listen good. If you break Cammie's heart you will face the wrath of me, Abby, Mrs. Morgan, and all of her roommates. Be good to her or else. I'm warning you." With that he left me on the roof dumfounded. I walked into the building and went straight to Cammie's room. She wasn't there, but her roommates weren't either. That comforted me a little bit, so I searched for all the Secret Passageways that I knew. She wasn't in any of them. I checked all the other Juniors' rooms and my little sister's when I finally I checked the Junior "living room" where all the Juniors were asleep on the floor. I quietly picked Cammie up off her beanbag and carried her into a secret passageway bridal style. I laid her down gently with her blanket still wrapped around her and kissed her gently on the lips. She woke up right away and pulled me in for another kiss that was longer and deeper. We pulled away for air after 3 minutes and 32 seconds.
Cammie's POV
I woke up to Zach's lips against mine. I would know those lips anywhere. I pulled him in for more and we pulled away for more after 3minutes and 32 seconds.
"Zach." Was all I could say.
"I missed you too Gallagher girl." He said sweetly.
"When did you get here?" I asked him.
"About 15 minutes ago. I had to look everywhere for you. Why was the whole Junior class passed out on the floor in that room?" He asked.
"Movie Night." I replied.
"Can I ask you a few questions?" hmm, what did he want.
"Sure." I said.
"Okay, so. 1. How did you find out where Blackthorn is? 2. Why did you remove all the bugs in Sarah's room? 3. When will you give me my hat back?" I could tell he really wanted to know the answers to question number 1.
"Just so you know, I am a spy. I have my own way of making deals. I took the bugs out of Sarah's room because a teenage girl needs to have her privacy. I took the cameras out because that is really perverted. And you may never get your hat back. It depends when you want to give my thong back to me. " I said all this with the most confidence I could muster.
Zach's POV
I know that she will not tell me any more, but I did get what I needed.
"Gallagher Girl, I am never giving you that thong back." I whispered. Two can play at her game. I was about to leave when she pulled me back down for a kiss.
"Can you carry me back to my room?" she whispered against my lips. Yes.
"With pleasure." I said with a smirk. We made our way back to her room without any trouble. I laid her down on her bed and saw my hat out of the corner of my eye, right on top of my shirt. I kissed her lightly on the lips, and made my way over to my hat.
"Thanks for giving me back my hat." I took my hat and ran down the hall smirking.
"I will get you back Zachary Goode." I heard her call down the hall so only I could hear. I made my way into my room and fell asleep thinking about my Gallagher Girl.
Cammie's POV
I will get him back. What to do, what to do? Maybe do something during P&E? Act flirty towards other guys? Whatever it is, Zachary Goode will regret coming to Gallagher. I set my alarm clock to 6:00 and fell asleep thinking of ways to make him pay. No one messes with this Gallagher Girl.
