United we Stand

First Day

CAMMIE POV

Oh my God. We are teaching today.....

I look over at the clock 4:59 breakfast is at 7:30 sharp. I bolt out of bed and shake Zachs shoulders.

He looks at me and sits straight up and looks around quickly ready to bolt at any moment. Shoot I worried him.

"Zach Calm down no one is in any danger" I say and he relaxes Immediately.

"Then what's wrong?" He says rubbing his eyes

"We're teaching today Zach" he looks at me like I just said the most obvious thing in the world. Honestly he looks bored. I sigh loudly.

"What are we going to teach" I say hoping he will get my point soon

"Covert Ops" he says in a 'duh' tone.

"No Zach 'what' are we going to teach them ABOUT cov ops?" I ask and he looks at me for a minute and it's hard to read his expression because it's still dark. But eventually he runs his hands over his face and whispers something almost un-audible is Farsi. God he likes cursing in Farsi way to much.

"Uhhhhh" he mumbles and turns on a light "what was your fist cov ops lesson" he asks

"Well Joe came in five minutes and forty six seconds late and walked over to his desk and said two words" I say and he looks at me expectantly "notice things"

He nods

"Then he asked questions about the almost unnoticeable stuff he had done since entering the room, then he left. Class dismissed"

"well let's do that" he says "and go back to bed"

I sigh and turn off the light, and head back to my bed only to be caught by the wrist. And guess what my wrist is caught by. Zachs hand.

"Where do you think your going" he asks

"My bed" I say turning to him

"I don't think so, your staying right here"

"Am I now?" I ask climbing into his bed.

I hear a faint mmmhhmm as his arms wrap around me. I fall asleep in seconds.

-page break-

We walk into breakfast at 7:29 but everyone is always early so as soon as we open the doors it's silent. Like there wasn't hundreds of teenage girls sitting in the same room. All heads towards us.

Zach and me walk over to the teachers table, but before we can get half way there my mom comes over and jumps on me.

"Cammie! I couldn't find you last night" she says and I know everyone in the room is listening

"We didn't stay..... To much extra attention...." I say and she nods

"Sorry mom, but aparently..." I look at Abby "your stuck with us for a semester"

Zach groans "and we could've gotten the Hindu mission!" He complains "but somehow we end back up in this god forsaken high school"

I hit him

"Could be worse we could be teaching assumption and assimilation"

He laughs and bows and hold out his hand he looks at me.

"May I have this dance?"

I laugh and shake my head no

"Now Cameron, what was it you told me?" He asks taking my hand pulling me into him.

"Life and Death remember?"

I shove him away "shut up" I say and he laughs

"What's so funny?" Mom asks

"When blackthorne came, I was Zachs guide..... We were headed to A and A when he started making fun of it and I got mad so I started saying that blending in in any culture could mean life or death.... We walk into the class and Mrs.Buckingham has decided since the boys were here that we would be dancing...., well you get it" I say and Zach laughs again

"You know dancing with you was fun Gallagher girl" he says

"Whatever" I mumble

"We should do it again sometime." He says to make it worse... If I didn't love him.....

"Would you two stop flirting and come give your best friends some hugs?" Bex yells from the other side of the room

"We don't flirt. We assume!" Zach calls back with his signature smirk

"No." I say " we do neither" I push him out of the way and hug Bex, then Macy, Then Liz

Bex puts an arm around my shoulders "now tell me, are you and Mr.Smirksalot over here together yet or not?"

Joe, Mom, And Abby come over suddenly interested in the conversation. And may I point out the whole school is still listening.

Me and Zach look at eachother

"Well....." He starts and grabs my hand pulling me to him again

"How could I be around her all the time without doing this?" He asks and dips me and kisses me like he did the day he left. Infront of the whole school.

When I am upright again he shove him, smiling.

"Thought you said Joe would kill you if we told em" I say laughing and he suddenly looks at Joe, who looks like he could murder someone. And looks back at me nervously.

He grabs my arm (again) and puts me infront of him

"Human Sheild!" He shouts and his friends laugh... I am laughing to.

I walk away "sorry your on your own!" I say and he runs as Joe stalks after him.

I'm on the ground laughing...

God I missed these guys
