Chapter 2:

"Cammie Morgan. I can't say it is a pleasure to meet you."

After I said those words, he had the most confused expression on his face. His eyebrows are knitted together and a small frown is placed on his lips. I turn around and walk swiftly away from the green-eyed danger.

Zach's POV:

She is a cute girl, beautiful even. Her flowing blond hair and flawless skin tone. The feature that intrigues me the most are her crystal blue eyes. It looks so deep and it looks like she has witnessed things that she shouldn't be or have to. She could easily be mistaken for an angel. When Cammie said those words to me, I was terribly confused and sad. I have just met her and have already developed a crush on her. She is breathtakingly beautiful in so many ways. I just want to hold her in my arms. The only problem is that she is angry at me. I haven't even seen her before and she is angry at me?! Most girls love me and my charm but how come she didn't fall for it? What did I do? The loud shrill of the bell jolted me from my thoughts. I navigate around the school trying to find my first class. I could feel the burning stares of the girls around me. I ignore them and rush to my class. I scan around to see if I have anyone in this class that I know. The only person is Cammie.

"Well Mr. Goode, are you going to sit down or daydream the whole day?" Mr. Smith says.

I take the last unoccupied seat which happened to be next to Cammie. She groans and scooted far away from me as possible. A frown is graced upon my lips but is quickly replaced with a smirk.

Cammie's POV:

Of all my luck! Zach freaking Goode takes a seat right beside me with a smirk on his face. The nerve of this guy. I shoot daggers at him and he leans toward me.

"You are a very lucky girl you know! Most girls would die to just sit next to me." I could feel his breath on my face.

I snort. "Well, I am not like most girls." I say with an edge.

"Ooooh feisty." He says with an even bigger smirk.

I am annoyed. "Why don't you just shoot your-"

"Mr. Goode, Ms. Morgan. If you would stop flirting and start paying attention to my lesson that would be great." Mr. Smith cuts in.

All eyes turn to us and I am positive that I look like a bright red tomato. I glare at Zach only to see that he still has a smirk on his face. I glare daggers at him. When the bell rings for lunch. I jump up from my seat and sprint to the cafeteria. I find my friends sitting at our usual table. I walk as fast I can without running and sit down with an irritable sigh. Liz pushes a salad in my direction.

"So…. Cammie, a little birdy told me you were flirting with a certain Goode today." Macey says.

"Ughhhh. Tina is going to get hurt today." I say with a glare.

"So it's true." Bex exclaims.

"NO! He is annoying and horrible." I scowl.

I start stabbing my salad while muttering "Dumb Zach with his dumb smirk with his annoying but cute face that makes girls swoon over him and his annoyingly perfect body."

"Whoa Cams! No need to murder your salad." Bex covers her mouth to disguise her laughing.

"Cammie, are you trying to hurt something again?" A deep voice from behind me rumbles. I look up to see Zach with a smirk. Oh what a surprise. I scowl

My eyes start to narrow "What are you doing here?"

"My buddies and I were looking for a place to sit." He motions to the three attractive boys behind him.

I start to open my mouth.

"Of course you can sit here!" Bex announces with a sly grin.

I glare at her murderously.

"Thanks. I'm Jonas." A geeky but cute boy says.

"I'm Nick, the hottest one." The blond-headed boy winks.

"Please ignore him. I'm obviously the hottest one." A Greek god says

"Please Grant. Every girl in this room already knows that I'm the hottest and sexiest man alive. Just so you know, my name is Zach and you beautiful ladies are…"

We introduce ourselves and my friends blush at Zach's comment. I just roll and eyes. Zach is staring at me like he is trying to figure out a puzzle. My friends already burst into conversation with the guys but I eat silently. Zach is talking to my friends but his gorgeous green eyes are fixated on me. I courageously meet his gaze and he doesn't blush or look away, he just stares.

"Cams, Cam…. CAMMIE!" Macey screams in my ear.

"What!" I yell back.

"I have been trying to get your attention for ages."

I blush while Zach smirks. "Is that all you do, smirk?

His smirk and possibly his ego have grown even bigger. "Why? Is it distracting you?"

"No! It is annoying and unattractive." I scowl.

He puts a hand over his heart. "That hurts Gallagher Girl. My smirk is loved by everyone."

"Oh! Boo hoo hoo! And Gallagher Girl? Seriously?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Well you are a girl right?" I nod. "And you go to Gallagher?" I nod again.

"Therefore, you are a Gallagher Girl. Geez, I thought you girls were supposed to be smart." He says in a duh voice.

His friends snicker. "Hey!" All of us girls simultaneously slap them on the back of their head.

"OW!" they say.

"That wasn't very nice Gallagher Girl." Zach pouts.

"Well, neither are you and stop with the nicknames." I sound exasperated.

"Could you two maybe get a room? It is nauseating." Macey says.

"As if you aren't flirting with Nick." I shoot back.

She blushes and goes back to talking with Nick. I roll my eyes and stand up to throw my lunch away. I start to walk toward one of my favourite passageways but I hear the footsteps of someone behind me.

I turn around. "Are you following me?"

"I was thinking you can show me around." Zach was leaning against the wall a couple steps in front of me.

"How 'bout no!" I turn around and start to walk away.

He grabs my wrist to stop me and turns me around onto his hard chest. I shove him away from me and he tries to put his hands on my shoulder but I flinch away from his touch.

He sighs, "What have I done to you? What was that thing this morning with the 'I can't say it is a pleasure to meet you' I haven't seen you once in my life and yet you are treating me like an enemy. What's up with that?" Zach rambles on with a confused expression and he sounds tired.

"I just want to be your friend." He says in a weak voice like a hurt child.

He reminds me of a kicked puppy. There is not one ounce of the cocky Zach I say before.

"I… I… I am sorry. We are friends aren't we?"

He locks eyes with me and hope fills his eyes. "Really?"

I smile. "Yup!"

We fall into an awkward silence. Then the bells rings. Thank you bell! You are a lifesaver! We walk side by side to our next class. I stop abruptly which causing Zach to stop as well.

"Wait. You have the same class as me?"

He smirks. "I have every class with you Gallagher Girl." I groan.

"Who was the dim-witted person who put us together for very freaking class?"

"Words hurt Gallagher Girl." Zach pouts.

"So does the truth Blackthorne Boy." We laugh as we arrive at the gym.

"Today in P&E, we will see how good the Blackthorne Boys really are." Coach Amar announces. "Boys on the right, girls on the left."

We do the traditional one-to-one sparring. The boys are tied with us with the amount of games we won. There is one match left and that is Zach and I's match. We take our position on the mats. I roll up my sleeves.

"I hope you are ready to loose Gallagher Girl."

"In your dreams, Goode."

We get into our stances and wait for the go ahead signal. Then, the whistle blows. We circle around each other once, twice, then three times. On the sidelines, I could hear our friends cheer us on. He attacks first with a lazy punch. I sidestep and shake my head.

"Not even trying Zach. Try." I challenge.

"You want me to try? Fine then."

He comes at me again with a series of kicks and punches. I block all of them and flip him over my shoulder. I was going to place my foot on his chest but he pulled my foot and now we are both on the ground next to each other. I climb on top of him and punch him but he rolls us over. We keep rolling until I shove him off and that gives me enough time to stand up. Before he can do anything, I hit him hard in the place where the sun doesn't shine. He groans in pain and clutches his private region. I could hear the "Ow." and "That's got to hurt" from our spectators. Zach is still on the floor groaning.

"Hey crybaby! Why don't you stand up? It can't hurt that much."

"Do you want to be hit in that part?" he cries.

He gets up anyway while whining. Coach Amar walks up to me and holds my hand. He then put it up in the air like in a boxing match and says "I declare the winner, the girls' team!"

All the boys groan while the girls cheer and I walk up to Zach.

"Good game."

"You too." I smile wickedly. He groans.

I start jumping up and down. "We won! The girls won! The girls are better than boys. Suck it."

He rolls his eyes at my childishness and I just stick my tongue out. We laugh and join our friends. The boys walk us to our doors while we talk to them about anything and everything.

"Good night ladies. If you need anything or have nightmares, just scream and we'll be there." Grant winks.

"Hey knucklehead! Remember who beat you in P&E?" Bex retorts.

"Goodnight guys." I slam the door in their faces.

"AHHHHHH! THEY ARE SOOO CUTE!" Macey and Bex squeal.

"Not sure if you care, but thank you for damaging my ear drums." I shout.

They grin. "You're welcome."

"Zach totally likes you!" Macey says.

"No he doesn't and I don't want to hear your obsessions about Blackthorne Boys. Goodnight." I crawl into my bed.

They continue babbling about boys while I drift off to sleep. My sleep wasn't filled with dreams about sunshine, rainbows and lollipops. No, the nightmares came back and are worse than usual. The green eyed boy is still haunting my nightmares.

A/N: OH MY BLOODY DAMN GOODNES! I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN A COUPLE MONTHS! I have been a beta reader and I am trying to improve my English by reading a lot of books. Since I have been gone for a long time, I decided to give you a really long chapter (to me at least). It is 1867 words without this author's note. I am not sure if I did my disclaimer yet, so I am going to do it now.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters or story. Ally Carter owns everything.
