"Cammie.. Cammie wake up.." was all i heard as i felt hands shake me awake, shattering my Zach-filled dreams.
"What?" i asked groggily, opening my eyes, not fully awake yet. I expected to find my mother waking me up, but only saw three very mad looking roommates.
"What do you mean what?" screamed Bex. Yeah i know, she screamed at me. Not said gently, but screamed.
"The annual Christmas Eve's feast is in an hour, and we need you to look really really good." said Macey. "I heard Dr. Solomon talking to Dr. Fibs, about special guests coming for winter break."
You see, every year we have two feasts in two nights. One on Christmas Eve morning, and one on Christmas day. This is so people can talk and spend time with their friends. I just find it a good time to double up on the pudding and pie.
"Looking for something?" Macey asked, holding up a clothes bag. I realized the whole time I have been talking in my head, i had walked into the bathroom with absolutely nothing to put on.
"Here," she said, take the most beautiful dress i have ever seen out of the bag, and handing it to me. "You're giving this to me?" I asked. "But didn't you buy this is Milan, for like $1,000?" I questioned her.
"Yeah, but I've already worn it once, and that would be disgusting to wear it again. People expect more from me." she replied, bored.
"Thank you!" I practically shrieked in her face, and ran inside the bathroom to change. Trying to change quickly, I put it on, and walked out, acting like a model. Macey gasped. "Go look in the mirror!" she yelled at me. Listening to her, I cautiously walked to the mirror, and stood in front of it. I gasped like I had been shocked. I looked stunning! And for my low self-esteem, that's saying something! The dress was a rich purple, and it went all the way down to the floor. It hugged my body, showing of all the right places, and accenting my curves and small waist. There were small rhinestones going along the neckline, which was a V-neck. Macey was staring wide-eyed at me. "Do you not realize how stunning you look!" she screamed at me. "If Zach was here he would be speechless Cammie!"
I giggled because everything was just so funny. I'm not supposed to look like this, and when I do, it's usually accidentally. Plus I could care less what Zach thought. "Ok Cam, lemme do your hair and make-up, grab your shoes, and we will be all set!" she told me. I walked to her chair and sat down while she did the make-up and the hair. The make-up was simple, just mascara, eyeshadow, blush, and lipgloss. Then she straightened my hair, and added a spritzer to make it shinier. When she finished, she looked at me one more time, nodded, and pulled me out the door. Arriving at the dining hall, we walked through and saw everyone dressed up all fancy. We sat at our usual table with Liz and Bex, and talked for a while. But my mom started talking, so i shushed everybody,
"Today, we will be celebrating our annual Christmas Eve feast. But today is not special just because it's annual. We have a little surprise for you girls, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we hope you do. No me and Dr. Steve have been talking about getting the Blackthorne Boys and you girls together for another meetup. But it was his brilliant idea that the Blackthorne Boys come and stay Christmas vacation with us!" Most of the girls in the dining hall gasped loudly. I was shocked that this was being told to me. "And the best part is, they will be here for the rest of the year! Come on in boys!" She yelled, smiling. Now is when all of the girls started screaming and whooping loudly, while i couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. I was stunned. How could she do this to me? She knew Zach hadn't contacted me at all since last year, and that he probably found another spy girl to love, and I was left in the dust. "Cammie! I get to see Grant!" Bex yelled across the table.
"Cam, Jonas is going to be here!" Liz shrieked, going red just thinking about her nerdy boyfriend. I looked across at Macey, and caught her eye. She knew how i felt, without a boyfriend. But she chose not to have one. She mouthed "sorry" to me, knowing Zach was 99.9% going to be here. I sighed but pasted a happy smile on my face, hoping Bex and Liz didn't notice. They didn't. The doors slowly creaked open, and the BlackThorne Boys strolled in in perfect unison. Half the girls died, while the other half screamed and giggled like children! But one boy caught my eye. One boy with dark hair, green eyes, and of course-the smirk.
