I think those are all the reviews, now onto chapter 10 I believe?
Macey POV
"Ready Bookworm?" I whispered through my comms.
"Ready, Peacock."
Once I got her response I started crawling through the air vent. We had spent the two days planning this out, and Phase One was officially a go. I should've explored the passageways before we started, though, especially in my black cat suit that Liz was wearing a smaller version of.
As I was crawling, I heard a cough. Looking down, all I saw was Tina watching a movie with Courtney. Then, a sound of hands touching the metal echoed through the vent. I rushed to get to the nearest exit I can find.
"Bookworm, we have a problem. Meet me at the crow's nest ASAP," I whispered, opening a panel and jumping off. I landed in Mr. Solomon's office, where he was asleep in front of his computer. I crept out quietly and then climbed into the wall outside of his office. Soon after, Liz's blonde hair appeared.
"Well that went horribly wrong. What happened with you Macey?"
"I was being followed," I stated simply.
"Do you know by who?"
"Nope. What happened with you?"
"I almost got caught by Bex. Following her is really hard."
"Seeing as I found out nothing, what did you learn?"
"Okay, so she was watching a movie with Tina and Courtney in the common room. Zach was there briefly in the back, but from the window I was watching from I could see him. He snuck out after Bex turned to look at him, and I think she winked. So five minutes later, she got up too and exited the common room. At first I followed her by watching through the windows, but soon enough I was able to find an entrance. Anyway, she went to this really discreet area near the library and put her hand against the wall, but before she could do anything she turned to where I was standing. Before she saw me, I hid behind a plant though. But the freaky thing is that when I came out, she was gone," Liz rambled.
"Gone?" Liz nodded.
"Well, we are a pathetic bunch, aren't we Lizzie?"
It was a rhetorical question, but being Liz, she answered anyways, "I agree completely. This is really different than being with Bex and Cammie. Maybe we should take a different approach?"
I shook my head. "It was a great start, but we needed more planning to it. Monday is free of classes and you have the option of going into town. It's the perfect opportunity, so we must start planning right away."
"Okay. But we need to do something before we start."
"And that would be?"
"We need to get rid of these cat suits, and fast!"
Bex POV
There they were. All three of them. Talking and laughing completely oblivious to the world, even to their boyfriends/ crushes. They were there. Without me.
I stared at the group of girls I once called my best friends, but now they're not even my roommates. I made a huge mistake, and I'm regretting every bit of it. I should have told them the truth about me and Zach, about how we're not dating nor are we kissing buddies. And I never should have left them.
It was one thing for me to move out of their room. It was another for me to move out of their lives. My avoiding skills have sky-rocketed, but I can't enjoy the fact that I, Rebecca Baxter, am finally better than Cameron Morgan in something. It seemed as what I had gained to fill the empty part of me was rotten.
But, I kept it in and showed it to nobody, because Bex does not have serious emotion. The only way to make me feel better? Torture others, namely Cammie. Not literally torture, but I have my Bex ways. But even though I'm seeing others in pain, it doesn't entirely make me feel better. There's still a part of me that can't help but feel that I'm slowly rotting from the inside out.
So today when I wore my plaid skirt, a cut off top, add on tie, and ankle boots, receiving the attention of many boys, thank you very much, I felt something off. Everything felt wrong and mysterious, and not even the Friday air washed the feeling away. I brushed it off, though kept it stored in my head for later, because if there's one thing spy school taught me, it's to be prepared when the least expected happens.
"Bex? Are you okay?" Eva asked. I immediately stepped out of my trance.
"E, what makes you think that something's wrong?"
"Well, you seemed out of it, like you were deep in thought," she whispered, almost afraid to talk. As if I would ever hurt her!
"Listen, I gotta go. Trust me, everything is fine. I'll see you later, kay?"
"Where are you going?"
"Up on the rooftop. Don't disturb me, I'm going to be talking to one of my cousins on my phone."
"Okay. Tina, Courtney, and I will be watching a romantic comedy in our dorm."
I nodded and left to the secret passageway near the library. Just two days ago it had seemed that somebody was following me. I had better up my game, so once I saw a group of the junior and senior Gallagher girls, I blended in with them. Once we edged a corner, I went down on my arms and knees, leaned up against the wall, and started to crawl. I finally got to my destination, and sat down on the dark green couch.
"Funny, I'm usually the one that's late. Knowing you, a bunch of boys probably drooled over your outfit and you had to teach them a lesson," Zach said with a wink.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever floats your boat. Hey, hand me something to drink, will ya?"
Zach went up to the mini fridge and pulled out two Pepsis. Then he sat down on the other couch in front of me.
"So, where do you want to start Zach?" I asked, breaking the awkward silence between us.
"We should have told Cammie," he stated simply.
"Zach, I know that we should have. But it's too late now, she'll never believe us."
"It wouldn't hurt to try."
"Wait, so you aren't afraid of your rep?" He looked at me with confusion in his eyes and I smirked.
"Zach, I know that I've only met you at the start of the semester, but when we spend this much time together, of course I would get to know you. And I know how you fear that anybody, especially Cammie, would think of you as a wuss."
After a moment of silence, he asked, "So I shouldn't tell her?"
"Not until the day gets closer."
Yet another awkward silence. God, I'm really starting to hate these.
"I think we should start with the technique you picked up," Zach said out of the blue.
I raised an eyebrow, "Will you be able to handle that?" Zach rolled his eyes.
I got up and went to the safe where we kept all our things here. When I was looking for the item, I saw a black figure flash through the small opening that we come through. I gasped and dropped the gun on my foot.
"Bex? What happened?" Zach asked jumping up.
"N-nothing. Nothing, at all. Everything's fine," I lied, bending down to get the gun. He raised an eyebrow but sat back down. I decided it would be best not to tell him.
I carried through the rest of the night with a calm mask to everybody, but on the inside, I was freaked out.
Liz POV
On Monday morning, Macey dressed us all up in polka dot outfits for our free day. Cammie decided to stay at Blackthorne in our room, but Macey insisted that she still dress up. On the other hand, Bex and Zach were spending the day in town, so Macey and I had to activate the newly improved Phase 1.
"Bookworm, all will be fine. Remember, I'm the inexperienced one here!" Macey was having difficulty reassuring me. I decided to just calm down, after all, it wasn't a test.
"Okay Peacock. So will you trail Duchess or Vulture?"
"You handle them both because they are both together. I'll try to find out the other thing."
"Right, sorry I forgot. Good luck!" With that. Macey disappeared.
I followed them and they were buying a lot of things. At first, I had stayed outside while they shopped in the stores but after I grew very suspicious, I followed them in. The first store was a clothing shop, and Bex was getting this really cute purple sundress. Zach went to the other side of the store. The next shop was a party supply store.
I was just about to follow them in when I heard a shriek in my comms. "Liz, get your butt down to the fountain right now!"
Guessing it was an emergency, I ran as fast as I can. I finally found Macey in a huge crowd near the side of the street.
"Macey, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong is that you just grabbed me out of my spot! I had prime viewing too!"
"Whoa, I don't even know what you're talking about!"
"Oh right. Well see for yourself!" She then dragged me to the middle of the circle and I saw Orlando Bloom with his son Flynn, whom I had a little crush on over the years. "They're filming a movie here, and Flynn's the star!"
I saw Cammie standing near a café, so I pulled Macey over.
"Liz! Stop doing this!" I cocked my head to Cammie and she followed, understanding.
"Girl, what on earth are you doing here?"
"I came to get something to eat," she said. Her face was really pale and breathing uneven, though, so it was kind of obvious to me that she was lying. I decided to let it slip, though.
Macey was about to say something when Flynn came up to us. Well, more like up to Cammie. I saw envious looks of teen girls.
"Hello, dear. I'm Flynn Bloom, may I inquire your name?"
"I-I'm Cameron Morgan," Cammie stuttered.
"I would like to learn a bit about you, Cameron, so why don't we meet up for lunch at this café Saturday, say noon?"
Cammie nodded and he winked at her, heading back to his limo. Macey and I stood gaping that British actor (and hottie) Flynn Bloom had asked out Cammie. As I turned my head to him, I saw Bex and a very angry looking Zach amongst the huge crowd. Boy, the drama around here is going to rise to the roof!
First thing's first, Flynn is 17 in this story, and so sorry for the rushed ending. Who do you think the mysterious figure Bex saw is? Let's just say I'm in a PLL mood, seeing as I just read Ali's Pretty Little Lies right now. (the story does not have a PLL outline, though.)
Here, we got to see a bit of Bex's reasoning and some very big clues about what Zach and Bex are up to. And I just brought up another question: what is the other thing that Macey and Liz are so hush-hush about? Any guesses?
Next chapter is some more Macey and Liz as well as Cammie and Flynn's date. Review please!
*Sorry for any grammar errors!*
