Hey everyone,

Life story of the week: I opened my locker this morning and found a scroll tied in red ribbon; it was an acceptance letter from Hogwarts! Along with a ticket to platform nine and three quarters. Isn't my friend the cutest? She knows how obsessed I am with HP so she got me those and a deathly hallows necklace cause she knew how stressed I have been lately. Xx

Disclaimer: I don't own Gallagher Girls or any of the characters.

Later, once we had gotten back to Gallagher Academy Bex had told me that she hadn't just kissed Grant for the fun of it, well it was mostly for fun, but she had grabbed something out of his back pocket during the kiss, his phone.

We were now all sitting in our secret room looking at the phone Bex had secured. "The idiot has all his friends' numbers on here." Commented Macey from the wooden crate she was sitting on.

"Why would he take his phone on a mission with him?" Even Liz knew how stupid it was to bring your phone out in the field.

"Pass it here Bex," I told her, "I have an idea."

Bex threw me the phone and I began to scroll through Grant's contacts, my finger landing on one of the names. Nick. Seemed good enough, let's just hope he answers.

I put my finger on my lips and winked at the girls, the three of them falling silent. The phone began to ring and then someone picked up the phone.

"Grant?" The voice asked, confused.

"Hello," I replied in Russian, "This is Viviana, is Mr Goode available?"

"Zach! Phone!" the boy yelled. Hmm so they understood Russian.

There was the sound of the phone being handed over and then Zach's amused voice answered in fluent Russian, "So we're talking in other languages now, and I still don't know your real name. What do you want Viviana?"

"I want," I began, "to invite you to a gala, in Russia that is."

"Russia?" Zach's voice didn't hold a note of surprise, "Gallagher Girl, that's a bit fancy for our first date don't you think?" I could practically hear his smirk.

"Oh Goode, you know this is going to be much more fun than a date, there might even be fireworks. You see, a Russian mobster is throwing a party for his new employee so I thought I would go and give them a congratulations present."

I could hear Zach ordering a boy called Jonas to look up the name of every mobster in Russia, God he was predictable.

"Don't worry I'll be there." He told me.

It was my turn to smirk, "Oh and Zach."

"Yeah Gallagher Girl?"

"I hear the girls in Russia are awfully pretty, don't forget to bring a plus one."

I hung up and my friends and I burst into laughter, of course they had heard both sides of the conversation.

I walked down the street, sipping the latte I had just bought from MacDonald's. To the few people walking around down town this morning I looked just like an innocent teenage girl listening to music as I sipped from the steaming cardboard cup.

The earphones in my ears played nothing but the sound of Liz's panicked voice. She was on a field opp. and I had gone with her to do nothing but make sure she did well.

"Cammie I'm not sure I can do this."

I bopped my head in time to imaginary music and pretended that I was whispering along to lyrics, "Lizzy, just walk straight inside. No one will suspect a thing."

I looked across the street at Liz and nodded slightly; she looked just the part in her knitted blue and white stripped jumper, jeans and ballet flats.

Liz pushed her fake glasses up her nose and hugged the three Harry Potter books to her chest more tightly, before stepping through the building door and into the Library.

"What do I do now?" I heard her whisper.

I rolled my eyes, Liz had been to the library so many times it wasn't funny yet as soon as she gets an opp. that positions her at the library of Georgia she freezes up.

"Liz put your books in the return shoot and go upstairs."

I kept walking around the block.

The couple in front of me had two kids the oldest, a girl no more than the age of three was skipping ahead and every so often would turn around to blow a raspberry at her little two year old brother as he toddled after her. I smiled to myself as I took in the sight of them.

"Cammie I'm upstairs, now what do I do?"

I laughed slightly, "Lizzy, pretend you're looking through the shelves for a book to borrow, then after about five minutes go to the bathroom."

"But I don't need to go to the bathroom!" Liz exclaimed.

I let out a sigh, "Liz, it doesn't matter if you need to go to the bathroom, you just have to go into the room itself."

A few minutes later Liz told me she was in the bathroom and had a clear view out the window of the office building across the street.

I stopped in front of the building and pretended to look for something inside my bag. "Okay, now go into one of the cubicles and lock yourself in."

Liz did as she was told. "Welcome to your new office." I told her.

Lizzy was supposed to hack into the data base of the office building I was now standing in front of, it had some information that Gallagher Academy wanted to retrieve and Liz was the best hacker the Academy has to offer.

I decided that it would be weird for me to keep walking around the block so I walked straight in through the library door and went upstairs to finish my COW homework.

Half an hour later Liz found me bent over an atlas. "Done!" She told me proudly, rocking back and forth on her heels.

I grinned up at her, "Good job, now let's get back to school."

We were walking to the park where we were supposed to meet Mr S, when I saw him; a boy with light blonde hair walking a few steps ahead of us. I remembered what my dad had once told me, the best way to follow someone without them noticing was to walk in front of them.

"Did you get the book you wanted Laura?" I asked; using the name Liz had picked as a cover if anything went wrong.

Liz caught on pretty fast, thank God. "They didn't have it, you doing anything next weekend Jet? Cause the two of us could drive to another Library and see if they have it."

Jet was my fake name for the day. "I'll have to check with dad, I'm staying at his house next week and I'm not sure if he has anything planned. What book did you want to get again? Cause maybe the school library has it."

"The Friday Society, I already checked the school library; it doesn't have many fiction books." That last part was true; our library didn't have any fiction books.

The boy turned the corner and I got a glimpse of his face, just as I suspected, Zach Goode. As we turned the same corner and continued our walk I started a new conversation with Liz. "Laura, I'm kinda scared, I think someone has been stalking me." I tell her nervously.

"Maybe you should call the police." Liz doesn't need to fake her panic.

"But Laura, he's our age and kinda hot. I'm not sure if I should mace him or kiss him."

Zach's shoulder's which had stiffened at the mention of a stalker took on a position of confidence at the mention of how attractive I found him.

Liz finally got the hint when I nodded forwards at Zach. Liz's eyes went wide and she looked like she was going to run up to Zach. Neither Liz nor Macey had seen Zach in person yet, only on the video from the camera I had had on me when him and I first met.

"I think you should mace him and then call the cops; you don't know anything about him Jet."

I laughed at Liz, "Maybe I should tell him my name and then I could talk to him on Facebook."

That of course was a lie; I didn't have Facebook, what was the point when all my friends lived with me?

Zach on the other hand turned his head slightly towards me; he really must want to know my real name. Liz was the perfect actress when she blurted out, "Hadley! Why would you?"

Liz then squeaked and covered her hands with her mouth as she looked around to make sure no one had heard her. It had the desired effect; Zach grinned and turned off into another street, away from us.

He bought it; he actually thought my name was Hadley. Once we were far enough away and I was sure we weren't being tailed anymore I grinned at Liz. "You were brilliant! Even I believed you."

Liz blushed bright pink at the compliment, "I remember once when you were trying to choose a fake name and Bex had said that Hadley suited you, and I knew you haven't ever used it so I thought it was a good choice."

"I don't think even Bex would have been able to make Zach believe her but somehow you did."

Liz of course had been perfect, her sense of innocence made it believable and Liz was always slipping up or falling over which meant she had perfected the art of mistakes. So of course when she pretended to let my name slip out it sounded true.

The two of us raced towards Mr S waiting car and told him the good news, even he was proud that Little Lizzy had gotten the better of a Blackthorne boy.

How did you like this chapter?

I'm sorry if you guys don't like the author notes, you don't have to read them if you don't want, it's just that I find that when someone puts up author notes they stop being some stranger and start being a person that loves say Gallagher Girls, they become someone I can relate to. So yeah sorry if I annoy you with these…

And get ready cause next chapter is the gala! Yayyy.

Please review and read my other stories xx
