Hey, Guys! Sorry for keeping you waiting but...ya know, it's the end of the school year and I'm nearly DROWNING (not literally, thank the Good Lord) in work.
Thank you SOOOOOOOO MUCHHHH for the reviews! Everytime I get one I almost literally light up! (ugh...stress on almost...)
Anyway, here you go!
"I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU LOOK LIKE A PIECE OF-" Here, Liz cleared her throat, stopping Macey at the last second from saying something that Liz considered inappropriate, "-DOGGY POO WHEN THERE ARE HOT GUYS AROUND! ...Especially a certain somebody," She added, looking pointedly at me. I rolled my eyes saying, "He's a civilian, Mace. You know we can't get involved with civilians."
"Then why'd you invite him?" She asked, cocking her head to the left with a smug look on her face. Ugh. She had me there.
"Fine," I groaned, reaching for the sapphire blue bikini Macey handed me.
"Oh, and don't forget your cover-ups!" She exclaimed, shoving torn jean shorts and a lacey off-white off the shoulders sweater into my arms. She was way too excited about this whole beach/Zach thing. I groaned again and headed into the bathroom to shower and change.
30 minutes later, Bex, Macey, Liz, and I were heading out of my apartment - showered, changed, and "Macey-Make-overed," as she proudly called it.
"C'mon," Macey exclaimed, throwing an arm over my shoulders, "Lets go get your boy." I rolled my eyes before replying, "Maybe you guys should go with Grant, Jonas, and Nick…."
"Ha!" Bex snorted, "You're not getting away from us that easily!" Oh great. Well, this is gonna be fun. (Note the sarcasm). Poor Zach. I know, I know, it's surprising, but I actually feel bad for him. Ohh… Maybe that'll get the smirk off his face! I smiled, proud of myself for thinking of a way to get Zach to stop smirking. Ahh, Zach…
"Cammie? Cammie? CAMERON ANN MORGAN!" - "Huh?" I snapped out of it.. "Oh, sorry guys. I was just…" I trailed off.
"...thinking about Zach?" I blushed and Macey smirked triumphantly. She had nothing on Zach's sexy one. Wait- no, no, NO! I shouted to myself in my head, He's a CIVILIAN! You canNOT fall for him! I really regretted asking him to go with us. This is gonna be a disaster. I sighed, and my three best friends looked at me curiously.
"You okay, Cam?" Liz asked timidly.
"Yeah, I'm just-" "She's just thinking about how much she can't wait to see what Zach looks like without his shirt on," Macey cut in.
"Sure I was, Macey..."
"Soo... if you weren't thinking about how smokin' HOT he is, what were you thinking about?" Bex asked. She actually sounded genuinely curious. And not in the 'gimme-as-much-info-as-you-can-cuz-i-wanna-whip-his-butt' way.
"I'm just... I don't know, having second thoughts about inviting him, I guess."
"Trust me, you won't regret it," Macey said confidently. "Besides," Liz cut in, "We'll be here for you no matter what."
"I'll kill him for you if he breaks your heart!" Bex said, a little too cheerily. I smiled weakly. "Thanks guys, but I never even said that I like like him..."
"Psshhhh," Macey scoffed. "Deniaaalllll!" Bex sang and Liz just laughed.
"Whatever," I said, dismissing the subject before they started interrogating me, "but seriously Bex, try to control your whole 'killing' thing." She pouted and told me to unlock my car already. I laughed and complied.
We got into my white Ford and buckled up. After all, I am the one driving. I plugged my iPhone into my speakers and blasted Coldplay (A/N: LOVE THEM!). Zach was waiting outside on the steps of his apartment building when I pulled up. He walked to the passenger side and opened the door. I looked at him, shocked. Did he not see the goddess-looking girl sitting there, glaring at him?
"Ha, nice try," Macey said, sticking her head between the two front seats, "Bex isn't gonna let you get away with sitting in the front. Get back 'ere!" Zach smirked and reached for the back door.
"Macey McHenry." Macey said bluntly, looking him over. Obviously Zach saw because his smirk grew.
"Sorry, Goode, but you're not my type." Macey said. Her spy skills must've been on full alert to notice that. "Anyway, Cam's told me a lot about you," She added, exaggerating 'a lot.'
"Oh she has, has she?" Zach said, you guessed it, smirking.
"No!" I said, attempting to not blush furiously and failing miserably, "I haven't! ..There's nothing to tell anyway!" I glared at her.
"Uh huh." Macey said, clearly not believing me.
"Anyway, my name's Rebecca but you won't live to see tomorrow if you call me that, so call me Bex."
"And I'm Liz," She said, cutting in softly with her Southern accent. "It's nice to meet you,"
"Likewise," Zach said, lazily waving his hand in the air, "So are we actually gonna go somewhere or are we gonna sit here telling each other our names?" Everyone looked at me after he said that.
"I'm goin', I'm goin'," I grumbled, putting my car in reverse.
"Thank God, we're here!" Bex exclaimed, tumbling out of the car.
"Come on, my driving isn't that bad!" Silence. Then, "Umm… Yeah, Cam!" "Suuure!" "Whatever you say!" *Smirk* *Roll of the eyes*
"Hey! It's better than you, Bex!"
"Yeah, she does have a point there," Both Macey and Liz agreed. Bex glared at them, her pride obviously wounded. We just laughed. Just then, a black SUV pulled up next to us. I tensed up, ready for a fight, before I realized that it was just my like-brothers-friends, Grant, Jonas, and Nick.
"Hey there, Cammie-bear!" Grant called out, coming to give me a bear hug. I glared at him before hugging him back.
"So," Nick said, turning to me, "Are you gonna attempt to prove you can surf or what?"
"Psshhhh.. Damn right I can!" I said, tossing my head.
"Uh huh. We'll believe it when we see it, right guys?" Nick turned to the others to back him up.
"WE already know how good she is." Macey said smugly.
"She's bloody amazing!" Bex cut it excitedly.
"Yeah, she is. I recorded it if you want to see it," Liz added softly. (Leave it to Lizzie to record something like that.) Her offer was sweet and all but I wanted to show them the real deal. Nick seemed to agree.
"How do we know its not just some random girl that looks like Cammie? I mean, we all know how good..amazing..Liz is with computers, right, Jonas?" Jonas blushed bright red and stammered,
"Uhh...yeah she is! She-she's great! Even better than me, which is saying something!" It was Liz's turn to blush.
"Nerd love!" I sighed. I ignored the surfing remarks; I would take care of that later. It was getting awkward having Zach just standing there, not knowing anyone. I turned to Zach, grabbed his arm and yanked him forward.
"Guys, this is Zach Goode. Zach, this is Grant, Nick, and Jonas," I said, turning to point each of them out in turn. The boys just studied him, not saying anything. Before the silence got too awkward, Zach stepped in saying,
"So what were you saying about Cammie and surfing?" He smirked, looking amused.
"She said we should go to the beach and watch her surf, maybe even join her on a few waves. We don't believe she can even kneel on a board without falling in, let alone stand and surf." "Hey!" I said, smacking Grant's arm. "I can too!"
"Yeah, right," Zach muttered. Obviously he had sided with the other boys.
"Oh, yeah?" I asked, leaning in. "Yeah," He and Nick said at the same time.
"Fine. I'll bet you $20 each that I can catch and surf five waves in 10 minutes or less."
"You have yourself a deal," Nick said, and Zach agreed. They were probably already thinking about what they want to do with my twenty dollars that they aren't gonna get.
"Ooohh, that was a bad idea," Macey said. "I'm gonna enjoy this," Bex said, smiling excitedly. Liz tsked them, saying "We warned you..."
I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they realize that not only can I surf - but I'm pretty damn badass if I do say so myself. Now it's my turn to smirk. This is gonna be fu-un.
