Disclaimer: Ally Carter is pretty lucky. she owns the Gallagher Girls. and Zach :(.
When I woke up, Zach wasn't back yet. My internal clock told me I had only slept for about 3 hours (I fell asleep around 9:13 am and when I woke up it was 12:24 pm) but I
felt refreshed and a lot more awake after my nap. I wasn't sure where Zach was or when he would be back but I knew that leaving this room would be a bad idea considering
as far as I knew Macey, Bex, Liz, mom, or any other person who would either be really, really pissed at me or turn me over to someone who would be could be anywhere in
the mansion and I still wasn't ready to see anybody else. Seeing Zach had already taken an emotional toll on me and I knew not everybody would be as forgiving about me
running away as he was. But even though I knew I couldn't leave, I didn't know when Zach would be back and I was getting pretty bored in there. So I did something I'm not
really proud of. I decided to snoop through his stuff. The first thing I did was go over to the closet and open it up. I saw a box on the floor so I picked it up and pulled off the
lid very carefully. Inside I found 8 black T-shirts that look like the ones we use for gym class here at Gallagher except for you could tell these were made for boys. On the
front of the T-shirts there was plain white writing that said "Blackthorne Institute For Boys" I figure that these were what they wore at Blackthorne to work out and stuff when
they werent wearing the ugly orange jumpsuits I had seen on my trip to Blackthorne. I noticed that all the shirts said "Goode" on the back and smiled. I didn't know why
Zach kept them but I was glad he did. It was nice to know that he owned personal things as well as what he needed. I wondered if Blackthorne was home to Zach like
Gallagher was to me but I figured that it probably wasn't. Zach didn't like what they stood for and I knew his mother had probably sent him there for reasons I didn't want to
know. But I did want to know. I wanted to know everything about Zach, even if I didn't exactly like what I found I knew my feelings wouldn't change because even if I didn't
know about the things he'd done in the past I knew who he was in the present and that's really all that mattered to me. I packed the shirts back up and kept looking but all
that was left in the closet were a few pairs of shoes so I closed the closet door and moved my search to the desk in the corner of the room. I saw a file folder on the desk
but figured I would ask him about it when he got back instead of opening it without him. There's just something about file folders that makes me not want to open them
without permission. There were also some photos spread out over the desk and I picked one up and realized they were taken from some sort of security camera in an
airport and they were of a girl. I stared at her and stripped away her disguise piece by piece, take off the fake nose, the coloured contacts and the wig. Get rid of the
expensive clothes and the mole over her right eye and I saw that it was me. The time stamp said it was taken about 4 weeks ago, another thing for me to talk to Zach
about. I shook my head and set the photos back down, moving from the desk to the dresser. The first thing I noticed was the picture sitting propped up against the mirror. I
reached for it and once I realized what it was I had a big smile on my face. I walked over to the bed and layed down on my stomach just staring at it. The picture was of me
and Zach, I knew exactly where and when it was taken but I had never seen the actual photo until now. It was on the night of the ball at Gallagher when Madame Dabney
had stopped us on the stairs and taken a picture with her brooch. In the picture I was smiling but I could also see in my face that I was annoyed and nervous but that's not
what my eyes were drawn to. They werent drawn to my face, they werent drawn to my arm wrapped around Zachs, they werent even drawn to the fact that you could see
Bex giving Grant a flirtatious smile in the background. They were drawn to Zachs face. He was smirking slightly (as usual), but he wasn't looking at the camera. He was
looking at me (the me in the picture not the me who was looking at the picture). Just sort of staring. The thing was though, I could see so much in the way he was slightly
rotated towards me and in the way his eyes held so many emotions. The picture took my breath away and made me go back to that night, made me think of how
everything had changed since then. Back then, I didn't trust Zach at all. I thought he was cocky and arrogant and annoying (which he still could be sometimes) and I hadn't
yet broken through his perfectly sculpted mask but even back then I had been drawn to him in a way that I couldn't quite understand. I was still staring at the picture when I
felt the side of the bed dip and a hand find it's way to the middle of my back, rubbing circles there. I turned my head to look at him and saw that he was smirking at me.
"You didn't even hear me come in. Are you ok?" He asked with a smirk on his face. When he saw what I was looking at the smirk got bigger. "Madame Dabney gave me
that 2 weeks after you left. She said she was looking through some old photos on her computer and found it and she thought I might want it. I think she made another copy
for you if you like it. She also had one of you with Bex, Mace and Liz that they have hung up in your old room." I smiled.
"I'll ask her for both when I see her. Hows Mr. Solo- Mr. S?" I asked, correcting myself at the last minute. Mr. Solomon died in the tombs. The man lying in the infirmary
right now was Mr. S.
"He's good. He's excited that you're home and relieved that you're ok. He also asked me to tell to you not to keep your mother waiting too long. She's been through
enough. Gallagher Girl I hate to admit it but, he's right. You can't keep you mom or your friends in the dark about this for long. Sometime, either today or tomorrow, you
need to see them and let them know that your ok. The longer you make them wait the more pissed off at both of us they're going to be. And I've beene hit by Bex plenty of
times already I'm not looing forward to it happening again." I smiled at the thought of bex and my othere friends and knew that he was right. My mom and my sisters were 4
of the people I loved most in the world. It wasn't fair for me to let them be upset. But before I could agree with him aloud there was a furious pounding on the door.
"Zachary Goode! Open this door right now!" Macey...
"Cammie we know you're in there!" Liz...
"I'm going to KILL you Cameron! Zach, you're next!" Bex...
Zach and I looked at eachother with wide eyes. Crap.
