The Gallagher Selection; A Zammie Fanfic

Chapter One

Cammie's POV ~

It was just a normal day for me in Allens, my hometown. I was just an average looking dirty blond-haired (well, it was more of a light brown) girl with brown eyes, nothing special about me. I snuck out of my house, even with my super protective mom who was always watching me like a hawk, after supper to meet up with my secret boyfriend, Josh.

We decided to keep our relationship a secret from others. The first time I had met him, I came up with a random lie- that I owned a cat named Suzie. Eventually, he found out that I really didn't have a cat named Suzie, but that didn't really matter to us.

My mother Rachel, read aloud the letter that was sent to us for about the millionth time today. It was only me and her in this small and lonely household of ours. I really did not want to attend the Selection, but my mother insisted me to go.

"Oh why wouldn't Prince Zachary love a girl like you?" She started. "You are so beautiful, anyone would be lucky to hold your hand in marriage!"

"Mommmm," I whined, "I'm just an average and plain girl, certainly the prince wouldn't want me." Honestly, I just wanted to find my way to Josh right now. I really wasn't in the mood to talk about that arrogant prince who was at the center of attention of basically every living girl in Illéa, except for me. The girls at school would usually swoon over Josh and his Goode looks, not knowing that him and I are actually a thing, but as the Selection was about to begin, they all talked about Prince Zachary and how 'hot and handsome' he was. Looking at his picture, I didn't feel attracted to him at all, I knew that I would never fall in love with him. I mean, I already had my own, precious Joshua Abrams. (A/N: Little does Cammie even know ;D)

"Cameron Ann Morgan." The middle name card, every parent I know has used it on their child at least once. "Please, just fill in the form today."

"Ugh fine, I'll do it later today. Can I just please go for a walk now?" I pleaded. The truth was that I wanted to go see Josh.

"Just make sure you fill it out right when you come back home!" She said as she hugged me tightly and finally let me go.

"Thanks! Bye now!" I yelled out as I slipped on my shoes and headed out the door.

About five minutes later, I found myself near Josh's house. He saw me through his window almost instantly and comes out to meet me. 

It has been just a few months since we have been secretly dating, away from everybody else. Together we talked about the Selection, but I was surprised when he said this to me.

"Enter the Selection. I think you should do it."

Immediately I jolted up, slightly glaring at him like he just insulted me or something, "Are you out of your mind?"

"Cam, maybe you would like him."

"Out of thousands of girls, I won't even get picked. I don't even know him."

"Nobody does, but you have the chance to even meet him if you entered."

"Please, Josh, just stop. I love you, doesn't that matter?"

He slowly kissed me sweetly on my lips, "I love you too, but you should enter. For my sake, just enter."

I was about to reject, but he started stroking my hair and kissing me along my neck and ears. He whispered quietly in my ear, "Please. For me."

"Fine," I told him, vulnerably falling into his trap, "You and my mom are just nagging me to enter."

 "I love you, Cameron Morgan. As long as I live, I'll love you." He told me before I headed home.

  "I love you, Josh. You'll always be my prince." 

We shared our last kiss of the day, and I headed back to my house where I knew my mother would force me to fill out the form.

Rachel's POV ~

Once Cammie arrived back home, after a suspicious 32 minutes and 4 seconds, I eagerly jumped out of the chair with the form in my hand, "Kiddo! You're finally home!" waiting this whole time?" She said, looking kind of shocked.

"Of course! Now hurry up and fill this thing up."

All I wanted was for my own daughter to find her love of her life. Matthew Morgan was mine. I wanted Cammie to know the feeling of this unconditional love, but hopefully will not end up with a sad mishap. History will not repeat its self. I will not allow the burden of death to settle upon her shoulders once again.

Thinking of Matthew always hurt me on the inside, but thinking of the Goode times, I pushed away all of the bad memories. Being my daughter, she instantly noticed, "Mom, are you okay?"

"Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?"

Without the castes, we had the choice to choose the profession we wanted. Matthew and I just had one of the most dangerous jobs ever, living as spies. I never had the heart to tell my own daughter our real jobs, or the truth behind her father's death. All that Cammie knew was that I, Rachel Morgan, was the headmistress of the Gallagher Academy, a normal high school that she attends, but that was just one of my many covers.

Cammie's POV ~

With the look in my mother's eyes, I knew she wasn't okay, but I nodded and went along with it. Judging from the pained look, she was thinking about him again. 

Trying to keep my mother content, I filled in the form, obeying what she told me. Even though I knew I wouldn't be chosen, I did it for her and Josh.

Author's Note:

Disclaimer: A few lines spoken between Cammie and Josh are from The Selection, written by Kiera Cass.

So basically this is my first actual chapter, I guess... This felt weird to write because I 210% ship Zammie, and not Josh and Cammie, whatever their ship name is, if they even have one, which in my head they really don't.

I wanted the Gallagher Academy to be a hidden spy school for girls, like in the books, but I decided to let it be just a junior high school for girls.

Originally Cammie was going to live in Carolina (since America is from Carolina), but I think Roseville, Virginia looks more like it lands in Allens.

I'll try my best to update, but I am probably going to be busy with school as I go back in a few days. I love the Gallagher Girls and The Selection <3 Two of my favorite series.

P.S. I am way too lazy to read through and edit, so sorry for my mistakes.
