It's been nearly a year and I miss Zach. Without him, I have nothing to think about, without him, my world has gone black. I wish he was here with me, his arms around me, holding me, rocking my back and forth, telling me that he would be with me no matter what…
"CAMMIE!" Liz's voice interrupted my wonderful day dream. I glared at her, annoyed.
"What?" I said, "What could possible be so important that you had to come crashing in, nearly breaking the door, shouting my name and disturbing the silence?"
"Well someone's in a cheery mood today," Macey came in and sat down on her bed.
"Yeah, geez, woman, I could hear you all the way down the stairs, why don't you try calming down? You've been acting like this ever since the boys left. Take a chill pill will you?" Bex said in her British accent.
I took a deep breath and glanced at Liz, even though she tried to hide it I could tell she's hurt.
"You're right," I said calmly. "I'm sorry I yelled at you, Liz, but I just miss Zach so much." Everyone was shocked. I think I said something I shouldn't have.
"Uh… so, what were you about to tell us, Liz?" I was desperate to try and change the subject. I didn't know what made me blurt out that I missed him but since it's out, there's no taking it back.
"Right, I forgot to tell you! The Blackthorne Boys are back!" Liz exclaimed quickly.
Every one of us practically flew down the stairs towards the huge metal-disguised-as-wood double front doors that leads to the parking lot to see if it was true. Are the boys really back? Will Zach be with them? Does he like me the way I like him? Did he miss me as much as I missed him? Did that kiss actually mean anything? A hundred million questions exploded in my head as I ran past the dining hall. When we reached the front doors, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, I crossed my fingers and slowly, I opened the doors.
There, parked on a reserved parking spot was a huge black van that said 'B.I.B' in white writing. Dr. Steve was just stepping out and opening the back doors of the van. About 20 boys were piling out of it. In the crowd, I spotted Grant, Jonas and finally – Zach. He was looking at me, our eyes met for exactly 4 seconds (I've been counting) and then he turned away. I walked into the crowd and found Grand and Jonas
"Hey guys, long time no see." I surprised them.
"Whoa, how'd you get over here so fast?" Grant's eyes travelled over to Bex, and he sighed. Jonas went up to Liz and gave her a hug. Her whole face went tomato red. But one thing's missing from this picture: where's Zach?
"Hey, Gallagher Girl," A familiar voice came from behind me, "Did you miss me?" Knowing who was behind me and what he was doing, I stood still.
"Zach Goode, wipe that smirk off your face right now!" Suddenly, my excitement to see him disappeared. I turned around.
"You gave me a kiss and you left. You haven't contacted me all year and you expect me to miss you?!" I let out my fury.
He stood there wit ha perfect poker face. Then his famous 'I know something you don't' smirk came back on his face. "I'll take that as a yes." He said and he put his arms around my waist, twirled me around, dipped me and gave me and amazingly long kiss.
"I missed you too, Cammie." He smiled.
"Welcome back, Blackthorne Boy." I whispered, smiling back.
