It was too much. I felt too close to a person, and too on the spot. I let him go.
"Cam, outta curiosity, do you like me or not?"
Zach. His name brought me joy. I avoided hugging him, unlike my other guy friends, because it was too awkward. I laughed at all his stupid jokes, and I loved seeing the gleam in his eye whenever he got one of mine. I never knew where I stood with him though, and that scared me. So when the time came, the question asked I didn't know what to say to those serious green eyes.
"No, gosh, why should I have too." Complete. Lie.
"Oh, ok. Just wondering." Why did he ask that? Was he asking me out? He looks so sad. Crap, he was asking me out. Damn, what to do?
One Week Later
I have to do something about this situation. I talked to Bex and Liz, yet I still haven't talked to Macey. I haven't had time, and I don't like spilling my secrets more than twice. I know I need to fix this thing with Zach, because he can't do it twice. You need to talk to him. He's right next to you. You're walking to your dorm. You can do it.
"Zach," the name slipped out of my mouth before I could stop it and I blush.
He gave me a curious look, his eyes taking on a new light, but answers casually,"Yeah Cams?"
This is your chance Cammie, take it or leave it. You can do it, come on! "Your shoes untied."
OMG, I'M SO STUPID!
"Uhhhh, Thanks?" The slightly hopeful spark in his eyes burn out, and his shoulders are slumped the rest of the way home.
4 Weeks Later
I see them, hand in hand, walking on the grass in the fields of Gallagher. They were laughing, and seemed totally oblivious to the lasers that could kill them if it caught even a whiff of hostile activity. Or the fact that I was sitting in the shade of the building, hardly 50 ft from where they were standing.
Macey and Zach.
I should have seen this coming. They were talking more, laughing more, and Zach seemed not to need me so much. I should have told Macey what happened. She would've known how I felt, and known not to fall for those endless green eyes.
I saw him spin her in a circle and pull her to him. I witnessed my Zachary Goode, press his lips to one of my best friends, Macey Mchenry. I watched as she seemed to melt into him after a second, wrapping her fingers around his neck and pulling him closer.
I felt the pain lance through my heart, my stomach drop to the floor.
I knew what happened.
I stood by and did nothing.
I let him go, walk away with the one he loved now.
I was too late
OK, that wasn't exactly what happened, but seriously close. You can hate, or send your heart out. Whatever, I'd just like a review. Thanks 3
