Disclaimer: I sadly own nothing
**A/N** PLEASE READ: ok so first I'm going to say this: part of this story is my take on the scene from GG1, where Dillon's threatening Anna and Cammie's at the pharmacy watching. But since this story has different facts from the series please read this very carefully: please just pretend Anna is a year younger, I wanted three representative for certain grades like how Bex, Liz, and Macey game from Gallagher. So just image Anna a year below, thank you. And I'm not going to have direct quote from the book I'm just going to put most of what I remember and add a few. But one other thing right now I'm going to say Cammie and everyone are juniors but if I have to ever change it I'll make note of it.
Cammie's P. O.V
It's been a couple weeks since Gallagher girls have arrived me, Bex, Liz, and Macey have grown much closer. Ryan and I talked about our little fight and he forgave me, and vise versa. He understood my reasoning for not telling him about my parents, I didn't want anyone to know honestly. We all talked about what Grant, Jonas, and Ryan heard on the bug though, they turned it off right after they heard about Joe being my god father. I think they're still scared of him though. Speaking of Joe I haven't seen him in a while, last time we talked he said he had a lot of work to do. But then I asked him about the proposal, and he got all quiet. Something wrong with him and I intend to find out, the second he gets back. "Welcome students, I have an announcement to make" Dr. Steve's voice blew through, pulling my out of my thoughts. He gave us a big smile. "Today will be a town day, you my roam around and do as you please, but remember stick to your covers. That is all, enjoy your day" I smiled and looked back at our table. "You guys thinking what I'm thinking?" everyone looked around at each other. "Umm" Liz started "No" Grant finished looking at me weirdly. I sighed and looked at Ryan. "I say we show them around" everyone huffed out except for me and Ryan. "Cam we know Roseville we've lived here for how long?" Bex asked I rolled my eyes. "Technically, my friend you live across the pound" Everyone laughed (A/N anyone ever heard of that saying?) "Seriously guys" I turned to Ryan "Let's show them the best of our town" he smiled. "Hey we go to the café and see a movie" I nodded "yea see" Come on it's not like y'all know anything better to do" Zach scoffed. "First off did you just say Y'all?" we all laughed "Second were the ones who had to study every inch of this town, I think we'd be just fine" I crossed my arms and cocked an eyebrow. "Oh really? Where's the best place to run away to?" He glared at me. I smirked
"See you know direction, we know the best places for everything"
"and everyone" Ryan perked up.
"Exactly" Zach rolled his eyes at us. "Fine lets go" and with that we were off.
~later~
"Could you believe the part when he shot the bad guy" everyone burst out laughing. "I know I thought I might die of laughter" we continued to laugh from the movie we had just currently scene. I glanced over at the pharmacy remembering what I needed. "Hey lets head to the Café" Ryan pointed over.
"You guys go ahead I need to stop at the pharmacy for a quick sec" I said and ran over to the familiar sign that said: ABRAMS AND SON PHARMACY FAMILY OWNED SINCE 1938. I walked through the doors as the bell gave off a little ring. I went down the ale and quickly found the ibuprofen and grabbed a couple of bottles. I walked up to the counter and was gladly surprised to see someone there. "Hi Shirley!" I said warmly placing the bottles on the counter. She smiled "hey Cam haven't seen you in a while, well really no one's seen you were you been?" see when I was younger me and Ryan would always come here and see Shirley and have some ice cream because we always had to pick up prescriptions for Ryan's dad. "Oh I got a scholarship to Gallagher Academy, thought it might look good on my collage application" I lied. She looked surprised "wow that's great honey!" she looked down at the bottles and gave a knowing look "studying a bit too hard?" I nodded, she knew too well. She rang up my order and gave me my receipt and bag. I was about to leave when she asked.
"How about a sundae on the house?"
"You don't need to do that?
She waved it away "Don't worry about it, you deserve it. With all that hard work you do all by yourself? Shirley in a way was always like a second mom to me. She knew about my parents and often watched over me when I was little and Abby was gone. I smiled "Thanks" I walked over to the counter as she put on her apron and made me a sundae. She walked away towards the back to grab something when I heard the bell ring. I looked over to see Anna, a girl a grade lower from Gallagher. She came to Blackthorn on the exchange too. But then a little to the right I noticed something, or rather someone and my expression grimed. Great I thought Dillon he looked over at Anna along with his buddies and walked up to her. (A/N I'm pretty sure some of this stuff was directly from the book but I didn't look back so it might be like it) "Don't I know you?" she took a step back as she noticed the guys surrounding her. "You don't go to my school" Anna gulped as she saw she had no way out of this. Dillon gave her, from the looks of it the "Gallagher glare" the girls told me about. "Nice purse, did your daddy buy it for you?" He mocked. His friends laughed and I rolled my eyes and stood up. "I-I just need" Anna stuttered trying to go but they wouldn't let her. "What was that?" Dillon asked sarcastically. I walked up and pushed one of the guys away. "Buzz off Dillon" He laughed, "now look who we have here, the shy nobody, no one cares about" I crossed my arms. "And look who we have here, the cocky idiot who can't hold down a burger without barfing on Santa" I smirked recalling our third grade play when he barfed all over Santa in the middle of the stage. He looked slightly dumbfounded by my reply; whenever he made fun of me I never said anything. He scoffed. "Didn't your father even teach you any manners?" I glared "My dad's dead you idiot" He smiled "good riddance" I was a second away from knocking him out cold when someone called. "Dillon!" We all looked over at the counter to see of course! Josh. Here's the thing, me and Josh used to date and then we called it quits because…well I rather not say. He walked over to in front of Dillon "Dillon just go" Dillon was about to protest but Josh shook his head. "Now" Dillon and all his buddies left reluctantly. Once they were all out Josh turned to me and Anna.
"Sorry about that"
"No problem? I said.
He gave me a soft look "yea but sorry about Dillon" now that's what I love about Josh. He was sweet even if we didn't talk anymore. He smirked though "I knew you were about one second away from beating the crap out of him" We all laughed including Anna. Josh turned to Anna "sorry is there anything you need?" She nodded. "Yea I'm here to pick up my inhaler" He gave her a small nod and headed towards the back. I went back too, to eat the last of my ice cream. By the time I was done Josh had handed Anna her prescription and she left. As I was walking I accidentally knocked over a display of band-aids. "Ops" I said trying to pick them up as Josh came over to help. Once we were done we stood up. "So where have you been? I haven't seen you around school in a while" I shrugged and was about to answer when the bell rang again. I looked over to see Zach, I saw Josh tense up. Of course Josh knew the second he saw him-like me- he was from Blackthorne. Which meant he knew their cover, thugs and thieves, great. Zach spotted me and walked over. "Cam we need to go now" he grabbed my hand urgently dragging me out I looked back at Josh. "Bye!" I called over my shoulder but all he did was stand there frozen. And I swear I heard him whisper "Blackthorne?"
**A/N** Okay so I hope you like this chapter I did, I know I said a while ago that this chapter or the last there would be a big shocker but I lied Sorry but I realized I needed certain relations to develop more or it would seem to fast or brought on. And again I am always sorry for mistakes but please I'm going to make note of this. See sometimes I'll be typing on my sis's laptop because I can't get on the one down stairs where I have this document and everything (plus no one in my family knows I actually write it's a… secret) so I post it on a comment on this one of the websites I made then just go back and delete it. But when I make quotations ( " , or !) It makes them question marks for some reason so if you see a question mark for some reason instead of one of those I apologize. Please R and R!
