Chapter 2
I don't know how long I slept, but eventually I woke up to Zach's comforting voice.
"Cam! Cammie! Gallagher Girl! Will you wake up already!" Zach said, growing more and more annoyed.
"No, I don't wanna!" I mumbled into his chest.
"Cammie come on. I thought you were dead or something. Dinner is going to start soon and you might want to pull yourself together before we see your mom and Mr. Solomon." He said smirking.
"Only five more minutes?" I asked desperately.
"Cam, I'm hungry!"
"Fine." I said getting up. "Give me a minute to look presentable."
I got up and was about to brush my hair until I saw myself in the mirror. My hair was a disaster and I didn't have time to shower.
I threw my hair in a ponytail and pulled my shirt down over my stomach. I also brushed my teeth for good measure.
When I came back Zach was sitting up in bed pouting.
"I liked you better with your messy bed head hair and only part of your shirt." He smirked, but I knew he was joking.
"Come on. Do you want dinner or not?" I said, throwing him his shirt.
He nodded and put on his shirt. I couldn't help but notice how perfectly sculpted his abs were. Literally, he had an 8 pack.
"Cam?" Zach said, trying to get my attention. "Cam?"
"Yeah?" I said, tearing my focus away from his perfect body.
Zach seemed to notice this and smirked, "Are you done staring at me yet?"
I rolled my eyes and started walking out the door. He caught up to me quickly and grabbed my hand, squeezing it tightly for a second.
I smiled to myself and squeezed his hand back.
No one was at dinner besides my mom, Professor Buckingham, and Mr. Solomon. I assumed he they thought it was safe for him to be up and around the school since no gossiping students were here yet.
When dinner was over, Zach and I went to the seniors common room and had a spy movie marathon.
The next couple days were in that same mannor. We would watch movies all day in our pjs, yes Zach only wore flannel jp pants to bed, and I wore my 'sexy' pjs that Macey made me buy during our summer after 10th grade. I never found a time to wear them, but I guess they came in handy.
Tomorrow school starts and all the girls are getting here today.
It was only 9 am when I heard the first girls shouting to each other.
I woke up again 2 hours later to someone nudging me.
"Cammie, oh cammie! Wake up! I'm back!" It was Liz's soft voice and she was tugging on my hair.
"Lizzie!" I said hugging her, "How was your vacation?"
"Hey Cam!" she said hugging me back, "It was good! My sister and I spent a lot of time together. She's decided she wants to be a Gallagher Girl but I don't think its a good idea."
"Why not? Would she not make the grades? She's a Sutton so she must be pretty smart."
"She's as smart as I was when I was her age, but I don't want to talk about this now! How was your vacation? Did you see Zach at all?"
"Well I came back a few days ago and Zach and I were the only ones here, so yeah. I saw Zach." I said, looking away from her and blushing.
"Oh Cammie? Spill!" She said, sitting down on the bed next to me. "Spill!"
"Zach asked me to be his girlfriend!" I blurted out. "Officially."
Liz looked confused. "But I thought you were already dating?"
Despite our studying boys for almost three whole years, Liz still can't understand boys very well, and can only understand what they mean when she uses her boy to english translator thats in its 3rd prototype (the first caught on fire and the second crashed unexpectedly).
Lucky for us, Macey came in just in time. She is our boy and fashion expert.
"What did I hear about Zach's official girlfriend?" She asked, coming over and hugging both of us.
"How was your vacation Macey?" I asked, but Liz interrupted me.
"Zach asked Cam to be his official girlfriend, but I thought they were already dating? Why can't I understand boys?" Liz practically yelled the last part, sound extremely frustrated.
Macey and I both started laughing, but when we saw the expression of Liz's face we both shut up fast.
"Thats a good thing, Liz. Boys are so stupid sometimes. But Zach asked you to be his girlfriend?"
I nodded confirmation, and Macey smiled.
"Cam thats awesome. You could use something good happening to you this semester."
I didn't want to think about last semester, finding my dad's grave, having my best friends be mad at me, snipers trying to shoot at me. I didn't want to think about it, but I also didn't want to think about what Macey needed us to do.
Kidnap Preston Winters.
Macey could see my mind was drifting so she said, "Come on Cammie, lets go get you some breakfast, you must be hungry."
I took a quick shower, threw on my uniform, dried my hair and brushed my teeth. I thought I was ready to go until Macey scrunched up her nose at me.
"What?" I asked, confused.
"Are you really going without any make up on?" she asked, concerned. "To go have breakfast with your incredibly hot new boyfriend?"
I only rolled my eyes. "I've been hanging out with only him for the past four days in only my pjs."
Macey looked horrified.
"Only your pjs? Wait are they the sexy victoria's secret ones?" She asked sounding a bit happier.
I nodded while I let her put eyeliner and mascara on me.
"Hold still!" she scolded.
"Well I'm glad you finally ripped the tags off of them." Liz said as she put her uniform on.
I was all ready to go eat breakfast but Liz and Macey were no where near ready.
I really didn't want to leave them, but I was starving. Liz seemed to notice this.
"Go on ahead, Cam." Liz said. "We'll catch up to you."
"Ok, I'll meet you guys down there."
I was glad they were able to trust me again, since last semester they hand't let me go anywhere on my own because they thought I would run away again.
I was at the entrance to the dining hall when I saw Zach waiting for me.
"Hey Gallagher Girl. I see Macey's back."
"How did you know that? Did you see her when she got here?" I asked, extremely confused.
He smirked before saying, "No, its just your wearing makeup. You would never do that without Macey forcing it on you."
I touched my face self consciously.
"Don't worry. You look gorgeous, as usual."
I knew he was just saying that to make me feel better, but I didn't want to be one of those girls that said they were ugly because they were fishing for compliments. I knew Zach meant it, but I also knew that I was a pavement artist and people didn't really notice me.
Zach held my hand as we walked into the dining hall where several girls had already started eating. Once we sat down, Liz, Macey and Bex all burst into the room.
"Cammie! Cammie!" Bex yelled, running into me and hugging me tightly. "I missed you Cam. How was your break?" she asked, sitting down next to me and pilling her plate with bacon and pancakes.
"I'm good. My break was pretty boring, but I guess that was a good change from the rest of last year."
Zach turned and playfully nudged me. "The whole break?" He whispered to me.
"Well, not the whole break." I said nudging him back.
Unfortunately Tina Walters noticed this and said, "Well Cammie! How was your break?"
"It was good Tina, thanks for asking."
Once we were back in our suite, Macey got down to work. "Look, guys I know we said we would wait to help Preston until after the break, but now the break is over. Cam is feeling better and we need to get down to work. Everyday Preston spends with his father, one of the leaders of the Circle of Caven, the more danger he is in from Zach's mom."
We all knew she was right, of course. But that fact didn't make it any easier.
"Ok," I said, breaking the silence after several minutes. "Where do we start?"
Please Rate and Review! I know this chap was kinda boring but I promise the next one will be awesome if I get a lot of reviews!
