Chapter 1
"Cammie! Cameroon! Camster! Camerilia! Cameron! Chameleon! Came-"
I poked my head through my bedroom door, hoping that it wasn't actually 3:00 in the morning on a school night, and that this was a dream.
Unluckily, it was 3:00 in the morning, on a school night, and my best friend was standing on my door.
I rubbed lazily at my eyes. "Ugnh. What do you want, Zach?"
I looked at him, drawing my eyes over him.
"How are you not sleepy?"
"I'm just that goode."
I rolled my eyes. "Well, you better hurry up. I need my sleep."
"Right. Okay, so Tina's flight just arrived, and she's expecting me at the airport."
He said this as if Tina was some demon. "Uh… Zach? The last time I checked, Tina was your girlfriend."
Zach laughed a humorless laugh. "Yeah… I kind of left that part out last time…"
Don't get me wrong, Tina is not a bad person. She's a gorgeous model (Well, as gorgeous as you can be with layers of makeup on your face), as well as an actress who debuted on the 2012 film Wreck-It-Ralph.
Of course it had to be animated. They couldn't afford to let her face appear thousands of times on a multi-million dollar film.
That'd be suicide in the movie industry.
Seriously, she's not a bad person. I just don't think she's the right kind of girl for Zach.
"Okay… I'm still not getting it. Why don't you want to-"
"We broke up, okay! I caught her…working up a guy at a club two weeks ago."
My mouth snapped open.
"Are you going to start crying yet? You didn't, like, punch the guy in the face, right? Are the cops after you again? Did you smash your head against your steering wheel? Do I need to get the ice cream? I don't have any beer, so if you want any, I'm going to have to call Macey. Are you-"
"Cammie, please be quiet."
I raised my eyebrows. "So… are you upset?"
Zach shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"As far as I know, I'm not."
"So what are you going to do?"
Zach laughed, a mischievous spark shooting through his eyes.
"I need you to be my girlfriend."
::
"Is that your 'discreet' way of confessing your undying love for me?"
"Ha. You wish."
"Whatever. You love me whether you like it or not."
Zach rolled his eyes. "Sure, sure. I love you, Cams."
"Okay. So… you woke me up at three in the morning to tell me about your two-timing girlfriend and confess your love to me?" Cammie paused, and then broke into a huge smile. "Ohmigod. Best friend EVER!"
Zach laughed, his low rumble merging with Cammie tinkling giggle.
A hooded figure watched from afar (or rather, a large green shrub) as the two best friends laughed together.
The figure narrowed his eyes.
The next morning, Bex watched as Tina Walters, break-out model, strutted through the doors of Gallagher High School, scanning the crowd for her 'boyfriend'.
Bex laughed at the thought of Tina being a model. More like an anorexic chimpanzee with bright red blush on its cheeks.
Cammie seemed to be a more natural fit for a model, with her golden sheet of blonde hair, deep sapphire eyes, and athletic figure.
Zach had just appeared in the school parking lot, Cammie stepping out the passenger seat of his bright red Ferrari, a gift from his dad on his seventeenth birthday.
They hooked arms, and Zach wrapped his arm protectively around her slim waist.
Bex rolled her eyes, walking away with a tall, blonde boy.
Zach's arm was still wrapped tightly around her.
Cammie's eye widened, surprised by his gesture, glancing at Zach when she saw Tina.
Zach risked a glance at his girlfriend, shrugging indifferently as he led Cammie to the far side of the school, hoping to seek another way in.
Bex shared a look with the tall boy standing behind her, winding his arms around her waist.
She smiled, turning around to place a chaste kiss on the boy's lips.
"Hey, babe. Good morning."
The pair leaned in to kiss again, but a fellow friend began calling for the boy.
"Yo! Abrams! Coach wants you!"
Zach waited as Cammie stopped by her locker to grab her Advanced Physics book.
"Why can't you be like normal people and ditch Fibbs' class?" Zach whined.
Cammie cocked a hip, raising an eyebrow, daring him to keep speaking.
"And I'm not normal? Is that what you're saying?" Cammie said, her voice accusing but teasing.
Zach smiled. "You're never normal, Morgan. Do I have to constantly remind you?"
Cammie glanced down the hall, Tina and her clique coming towards Zach.
She nudged his shoulder, and he nodded, his smirk appearing on his face.
As Tina approached, Zach noticed the unusually slutty sway of her hips, as well as her revealing, thin, sheer lace top. He nearly threw up.
Cammie noticed as well, but she couldn't keep her throw-up in as well, so she excused herself to the bathroom.
Zach couldn't stand the chance of staying alone with her, so he grabbed her hand, and pulled her back.
"Breath in and out slowly. It'll help. I used it all the time when we… you know", Zach advised.
"The throw-up, right?"
"What else would it be?" Zach said cheekily.
Cammie breathed in, surprised that Zach's advice was actually working. That was a first.
"So, Zachy. I noticed that you weren't there to pick me up at the airport yesterday. Were you planning something special for me?" Tina said, seductiveness lacing her voice.
Zach didn't seem fazed at all by her tone of voice, or her suggestiveness. He shrugged.
"Nope." Wow, Zach. Way to let a girl know that you love her. "We broke up. I'm not going to pick up my ex-girlfriend at the airport and waste my time."
Tina's clique gasped simultaneously. Tina's eyes narrowed. "What, so you can sleep with the Morgan bitch?"
"The 'Morgan Bitch' is right here, Tina the Slut-Face."
"Oh, sorry. I didn't see you there. Seems like there's a cloud of ugly surrounding you," Tina said, a wicked smile on her face.
" For your information, 'ugly' is an adjective. You, know, Tina. An adjective. A-d-j-e-c-t-i-v-e. A word that describes a noun. Do you know what a noun is? A noun is a person, place, or-"
"I know what a noun is. I'm not an idiot".
Cammie laughed. "Oh, I beg to differ."
Zach interrupted. "Look, Tina. Cammie's my girlfriend now, so-"
"Oh yeah? Prove it, then."
Cammie drew in a sharp breath. "If he said we're dating then we're dat-"
Zach pressed his lips to mine, pulling away for a brief second.
"Just go along with it."
He pressed his lips to mine again, and I heard the sobs coming from Tina and her group.
The kiss was weird, I had to admit. It wasn't like kissing all the past boyfriends I had. This felt a bit different.
Yeah, it felt good kissing him, but there wasn't any spark that I had felt with… Well, it was just different.
Zach pulled away. "You okay? Sorry I had to do that. Tina wouldn't go away, and I needed a way to shut her up."
I scoffed. "Yeah. Sure, but next time- Do you think you could opt for a different option?"
A/N: Yeah, I know. I should be putting my full focus on my other two stories. But, I really felt that this was a good idea for a story.
Did you guys like it?
If I don't get too much review or feedback, I probably won't continue it.
