Cammie

"Cammie?" A voice asked, a very familiar voice, a voice that I had fallen in love with said. I spun around, at first irritated before I realized that it was Zach, my eyebrows raising in surprise. Then I was irritated again because Puhlease- he was wearing that smirk again (Which was actually very Zechsy) and I had forgotten how annoying he was.

"Zach... What the?" I asked glaring at him.

"Can I tell you something?" I kept my angry gaze, but I nodded.

"I like your Pajamas." He said and I couldn't help but blush, hiding my cheeks with my hair.

"Told ya so!" Bex sang. I rolled my eyes and looked at Zach quizzically.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Oh nothing... It's just Macey invited us... Behind your back..." What? Why didn't I notice? Ugh. I guess I was off guard.

"Maceyyyy! This was supposed to be a girls only summer."

"Oh come on Cam, I didn't think you'd mind as long as Goode was here." He nodded, watching me closely. No point in arguing now, I thought with a sigh.

"Well this'll be relaxing..."

"It actually wasn't supposed to be. I planned a whole bunch of challenges, trips and op's." Macey said, smiling.

"Aww, thank you Macey!" I watched Zach watched me and I winked at him. He looked surprised that I noticed and I laughed.

"I'm gonna go to bed, now. That flight gave me a headache..." I lied, pretending to yawn. Everyone else seemed to agree, so I padded up to my bedroom. Macey knew exactly what I like, because when I walked in, the wallpaper was turquoise, and the walls were lined with red-painted wood. The floor was white and silver carpet and across from the silky gold bed was a walk in closet with red oak doors. I had a balcony looking over the gulf and my ceiling had tiny lights that twinkled like the stars when the lights were off.

I thought I might as well unpack, pushing my folded shirts into a giant red chest of drawers with gold handles. I hummed 'Sparks Fly' (Taylor Swift - It reminds me of Zammie and my crush.) as I worked finally finishing and jumping back onto my bed. I hardly noticed Zach until I heard him chuckle.

"Hey there Gallagher girl." He rapped his hand on the door smiling and leaning against the frame. Yes. Actual smileage! Like how often does Zachary Goode smile?! Had I made Zach smile? I thought that would be amazing and I smiled. And then I realized that he'd probably heard me singing and I blushed.

"Hey there Blackthorne boy. What brings you to my beautiful room?" I asked, standing up and twirling with my hands out. He merely raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, just came to say goodnight..." he said, smirking. Maybe he knows what I plan to do tonight? Maybe he'll follow me out? I asked myself, kind of worried but hopeful. Then I realized that this was Zach and he was always smirking

"Oh well, Goodnight..." I said, and he rolled his eyes like take a hint. What hint?! Omigawds. Since when can any boy make me doubt myself. Not even Josh. It got awkward in like 3 seconds.

"Alright, well, bye." I said pushing him out.

"Bye?" He said, seeming surprised. "Bye."

I closed the door and shut off the lights, sighing and leaning against the door like a normal teenage girl would do after having met and swooned over a hot guy.

"I heard that." Zach's deep voice cut through the door.

"Shut-up." I yelled back, blushing red in the dark.

I threw open the balcony doors and looked out over the private McHenry beachfront property. 'It's gorgeous - Like Zach,' I thought to myself, then realizing it and giving up. I couldn't wait to clear my mind out on the beach later tonight.

Three hours later, at 12:30 am, I tied my blankets over the balcony, climbing down and landing on the beach in my black converse. I looked around, hoping that no one saw me and sat down in the sand to pull my shoes off. I carried them with me as I walked in the water, letting my bare feet get lapped by the warm water. I could have sworn I saw a thick grey fin but tried to ignore it and kept walking. A few minutes later I heard Zach's voice and jumped behind a tall dune of sand. Peeking out I could see Zach walking. So he had the same idea as me?

"Like... Cam... Ugh..." He mumbled and I strained to hear his sentence. I quickly raced past a couple of dunes and came out ahead of him when he wasn't looking. I could feel his eyes on me and a second later his voice saying my name rung in my ears.

"Oh, Um hey Zach." I said, brushing a strand of hair out of my eyes. He smirked at me and then blinked like he was internally shaking his head and smiled.

"I- I thought you wanted to go to sleep," he said.

"I guess I just wanted to think...?" I said and he laughed.

"Think? What about?" He asked. About You, Idiot. I thought but just shook my head. "Oh, I don't know?" I said and he went back to smirking.

"Well, M'lady, since we are both out here, would you care to take a midnight stroll?" He asked, bowing. Aww, he's a sweetheart, too, The fangirl in me thought.

"Oh, I would love to." I said, curtsying like we had learned in C&A class. His emerald eyes sparkled as we started to walk. His hand brushed casually against mine as we walked in comfortable silence. Yes. Actual brushage.

"Cammie, if I admit something to you, promise you won't laugh?" He asked tentatively and I nodded.

"Sure. You can tell me anything." I said, smiling at him.

"When I went to your bedroom earlier I was gonna ask you if you wanted to go on a walk with me..." He said and my smile widened. "Except that I chickened out." He said.

"Oohh. Poor baby! Was Zach too scared to ask his friend Cammie to the beach?" I asked smirking. He scowled but I could see he was trying to hold back a smile.

"Your laughing. Your not making this easy for me..." He said.

"Oh Zach, when will you learn that I will never make anything easy for you?" I said wittily. (There's a book couple reference here... Anyone know what it is?)

When the stroll ended, he walked me to my room. It was the most perfect night ever.

Okay guys! Just a little Zammie chapter. The next update will have the first game and it'll be couple's paired together! Yasss. I hope you liked it, but I'm not putting Zach and Cammie together for another 3 or 4 chapters. Thank you for all the really great reviews! I love you all.

Ugh is it just me or does grammar/spelling check on this website really suck?
