Hi! So sorry for the late update. My computer...uggg. Anyway here ya go. It's kinda short I know. Sorry. BUT PLEASE REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! 3 you!

After my reunion with Zach, things were pretty much back to normal. I mean, he was still a little jumpy, and I think I had freaked him out with bringing up cheating, but other than that, we were all good. I had not asked the girls for help on that one, it needed to be from me. And I think it worked out pretty well.

"Pass the gravy." Said Bex. I handed her the bowl and went back to devouring my own mashed potatoes.

"Pig." Zach exclaimed, pointing to me.

"Shut up." I added acknowledging the fact he was reaching for his fourth serving of rice. "So we have today off."

"Why?" Everybody asked.

"Mom said something about gasses in the science lab and they need to go through the AC. So we get today off."

"Awesome. What should we do?" Liz asked us.

"We should all go see a movie." Macey suggested.

"I doubt we are able to leave the school grounds." Liz mentioned with a concerned face.

"Since when has that stopped us." Bex said with a smile that would scare anybody. Just as I was about to say something. There was a loud bang of the door. And I heard Liz scream.

"Jonas!" She and Bex both bolted from their bench sets and ran into the arms of there favorite boys in the world. Everyone was staring, but the didn't care. Particularly Bex didn't care, she smashed he face into Grant.

"Bex!" I hissed after a few minutes. "Get a room!" I heard somebody yell from across the room. It didn't have ugh affect, but we finally got them to stop spit-swapping for now. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked Jonas, Nick, and Grant.

"We came to finish the school year up with you guys. They needed more guys here for Zachy. He's all by himself poor guy." Grant said with a totally fake sad expression.

"And I was fine that way." Zach responded, rolling his eyes.

"We aren't the only ones. There are about five others. Random guys." Noah said.

"So are we still up for that movie?" Macey asked, changing the subject. I smiled.

Next thing we knew, we had somehow managed to sneak eight of us out through a secret passage way I haven't used in forever into town. We all laughed when we got out because of how gross and dirty we were then. I led us into the theater and we all took our seats. There was a reason we picked the back. After watching 21 Jump Street, we all decided to get some ice cream. Typical, I know, but it sounded good to all of us.

As we walked around to square, I realized that I had promised a long time ago not to do this anymore. And I had kept the promise for a while. But my brain was not focusing on the subject enough to do anything about it.

Jonas picked a flower and put it behind Liz's ear. She giggled and kissed him. It was adorable, watching them. It was more innocent than Bex and Grant, or even Macey and Noah, who can be now be called a couple. Probably because Lizzie pretty much will never have to do with anything dirty. She's more of those movie romances like in the Notebook. We were at a park, and I was swinging. I felt a rush as Zach pushed me from behind. He shoved me again and again until I was afraid of flying off.

"Stop it!" I tried to say through laughing so hard it hurt. So he slowed the swing down and wrapped his arms around it. "I meant stop pushing me so hard, not stop the swing." I said in a spoiled, bratty voice.

"Fine, Jeez." He thought I was being serious.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding." I quickly added. He sighed with relief and pulled me off the swing.

"Hey," Jonas said, "do you smell smoke?" I sniffed the air and yes, I totally did.

All of a sudden, there were sirens blasting louder then I had ever heard. It sounded super close, and part of me started to panic. It all hit us at the same time where we knew it was coming from. Without even exchanging glances, everyone started off into a sprint. I ran so that I literally was not breathing. The smoke smell was so strong though I had had to slow down to cough. It was getting harder to see, which meant we are really close. When we arrived back at the mansion, I almost instantly burst into tears. One part of the side was completely gone, like a bomb when off, which was a possibility. It was hard to get through the sea of students, but I pushed my way up to the front. Every girl was coughing her guts out an trying to get far enough away from the building. I was doing to opposite.

"Mom?!" I called out, trying to see over all the heads, "mom!?"

"Cammie, wait!" Zach tried to catch up to me but I just kept going. I called her name over and over but never got anything. I couldn't find anyone who would know where she was. Zach was still trying to catch me, and finally he caught my hand. "Cammie, stop! Hold on." He stopped to cough. There were fire engines parked all over the streets and ambulances waiting for injuries. There was not much actual flame left, but they were still trying to get it all out. Fire fighters in tin foil-looking suits were running through the crown and into the academy. What happened? Did it just…blow up? And more importantly, where the hell was my mom? Zach still had my hand and was moving with me against the traffic. But something made him stop all of a sudden.

"Zach, come on. We need to keep moving." I pulled him, but he didn't move a muscle.

"Cam. Um….look where the hole in the building is."

"Wha…" I murmured, staring at him blankly, but then I understood. I slowly turned my head of I was looking directly at the blown up part of the Gallagher Academy. And I froze. I stopped breathing completely. I think Zach squeezed my hand, but I didn't respond. I don't even think I was thinking at all. I heard my friends calling my name in the background, but it was only an echo. Girls left and right ran into me and bumped my sides, but I didn't move a step. I just stared at my school. And stared directly at my mom's office. Where the explosion was where my mom's office was. Which meant…..crap. No, no, no, no, no. Hell no. I went from no air in my lungs to hyperventilating in a second. I started turning in all directions. I couldn't decide where I wanted to go.

"Mr. Solomon!" I called, he was on a stretcher, but I chased after him. "Where the heck is my mom?" I asked. Mr. Solomon just looked deeply into my eyes, and then quickly glanced at Zach who looked at the ground. "No….no she can't…" I started to mutter things that were not even words. I put my hands o the back of my head and just fell to the ground. I just sat there muttering. I could't even cry because everything was so fuzzy, I didn't know what was real or not. I saw my friends come and stand around me. Liz started balling and Bex and Macey even had tears coming down their faces. They knew to let me sit there for a little. I couldn't hear what they were saying, and I didn't know if it was because of the sirens or the cotton balls that someone put in my ears.

I lay back so I was laying in the street in front of the mansion. I still was not crying, or talking. I just lay there and stared blankly at the sky. I heard vague conversation about how they found her body, and I lost all hearing after that. I was in shock. After about 20 minutes of a haze that I can't even really remember in that street, I bolted up into a sitting position. Everyone was staring at me. That was when the the tears started to flow and stream down my cheeks. I was screaming the word 'no' at the top of my lungs. I jumped up and just ran. I ran balling my eyes out. I just ran. People were following and running after me, so I ran faster. People were screaming my name, so I ran faster. I just kept running. But I didn't know where I was going.
