So a plan was all I needed. It may have sounded simple, but trust me it's not. Cody and I were thinking, yes I was actually thinking. Zack tried to look up all of Camri's past boyfriends, but the internet said that she never had any.
"Dude, can you please just listen to me. Getting to Camri is easy and fast, but getting through London and Mosby is hard and will take a while." Cody said.
"What do you suggest?" I asked sarcastically. Like I was ever gonna listen to him, the only thing he said right was that I needed a plan.
"I heard that when Camri still lived here, she terrorized the hotel" Cody said.
"So, we do that in our sleep" I protested. Cody rolled his eyes.
"Dude, she flooded the hotel"
"Was she ok?" I asked.
"She's here isn't she" Cody said annoyed. "Anyway, I've notice that Mosby was a bit how you say, scared. Convince him that with you going out with Camri, it will distract her from doing any pranks or misfits" I sighed. I guess he was right.
"Fine, I'll try it" I said. "One more thing, why are you helping me?"
Cody shrugged. "Once you get a girlfriend instead of a flavor of a week, you'll probably get out of my hair" Cody said.
"No promises" I smiled. Then my cell phone started ringing. I looked at the caller ID then rolled my eyes.
"Is it Amy?"
"No"
"Sasha?"
"Nope"
"That clingy girl you went out with three weeks ago?"
"Yup, Louise. She's such a loser" I rejected the call and placed my phone back into my pocket.
"You have no heart, especially when it comes to girls. I bet once you have Camri, you're gonna break her little twelve year old heart" Cody said making sad puppy dog faces at me. Great, another loser.
"What can I say, I enjoy the journey but get bored at the destination. Plus Camri's different" Cody rolled his eyes.
"That's what you always say. By next week you'll leave her in tears like the rest of the other girls you dated" I shrugged…will I?
NEW SCENE
Cody and I walked up to Mosby smiling as innocently as possible. He just gave us a suspicious glare.
"Whatever you two broke it will be under your mother's pay" he said angrily.
"Actually…I'm asking for permission" I said weakly. Mosby laughed.
"Asking for my permission! That's new!" he said.
"To ask Camri out" Mosby immediately stopped laughing. He didn't look mad, but was definitely serious.
"Now Zack, you do know that Camri is two years younger than you" Mosby said. I was in shock, I expected him to yell at me for wanting to ask her out in the first place.
"I know, but I really like her…you know"
Mosby sighed. "Zack, you and I both know that you will just leave her in tears by, I don't know next week?" I could tell Cody was smirking. Was he trying to help me or not?
"She's different" I pleaded. Mosby sighed.
"Zack, your mother is always complaining about all the hearts you have broken. I once heard thirteen girls crying for you to come back to them outside the hotel!" I gulped. Mosby sighed though, which meant DING, hope.
"It's actually not my choice…it's London and Camri's" he said. London came walking out her hand pinching a little boy's eat hardly.
"Especially London" Mosby added.
"How dare you try to hit on my sister!" London yelled. I felt sorry for the poor guy, then felt scared.
"I'm just ten! I wasn't even hitting on your sister! Promise!" the boy squirmed.
"Puh-lease! You're really good at swimming! Like that's not hitting on!" London yelled. The boy finally squirmed free and ran crying to his parents. Cody and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Good luck with that" Mosby said to me before he left. Our laughter died down.
"You better do it now or never" Cody said to me. Before I even answered, Cody started pushing me towards an angry London. But when I bumped into her, she greeted us with a smile.
"O hi guys!" she said. I sighed.
"Is that what you would really do if a guy asked Camri out?" I asked.
"Of course not!" she said surprised. Cody and I sighed in relief.
"If someone asked Camri out, they would wake up in a little box under Venus!" I was about to tell London that Venus is a planet, but then maybe she was actually telling the truth. I sighed.
"Never mind then" I said. London looked scared though.
"But if a funny, cute guy asked her out it would…depend" she said. I smiled. I'm funny and I'm hot! "He just can't be a player!" London said angrily then walked away. I could see Maddie rose her eyebrows towards me then she looked down at the counter again. I could try not leaving her…but it's just not my nature.
CAMRI'S POV
I just watched London drag a ten year old by his ear just because he gave me a compliment. She is so overprotected, I mean I'm twelve! It's not like I'm gonna have a baby! I sighed. I remembered yesterday when London, Maddie, and I had our fun sleepover. It's when I told then who I had a…well you'll see.
FLASHBACK
London was wearing her Dior pajamas. I honestly didn't know that Dior even makes clothes. Maddie was wearing red pajamas with white polka dots on them while I was just in Juicy Couture navy sweat pants and white Old Navy shirt. And people say that I don't know about fashion…I don't but at least I know the brands! So anyway we were playing truth or dare at 1:00 in the morning . Drinking eighteen bottles of soda could only make you stay up even more.
"Ok Camri, truth or dare" Maddie asked.
"Truth" I said.
"Is it true you have a crush on somebody, if so name him"
"I will so not! I rather pick dare then!" I said. London and Maddie laughed.
"Fine, I dare you to tell us who you have a crush on" Maddie said. I sighed, she's got me cornered. So I mumbled his name.
"What? We can't hear you!" London said playfully. I mumbled it a little louder.
"Still can't hear!" Maddie said.
"I LIKE ZACK OK!" I looked at Maddie's and London's shocked faces.
"You can't like Zack!" London started. "For starters, he's fourteen and you're twelve. Next, he's a user, player, cheater, a pig!" she said. I rolled my eyes, as if I didn't know. I already saw him make out (as in actual French kissing) with a girl at least eight times. I never fourteen year olds could learn so much at a young age.
"I know" I said. The two looked at me weirdly again.
"Then why do you like him?" Maddie asked confused.
"I don't like him. I have a crush on him" they looked at each other as if they were in another world.
"It means it's temporary. Plus, it's a slight crush. I'm not obsessed or in love" I said.
"I don't know what you see in him, but then again we're not the same person" London said. "I approve your crush…you just can't ask him out or he asks you out" London said. Great, now she has to approve my crushes.
There you have it, last night I opened up to London and Maddie. Like I said though, I'm not obsessed and so not in love. I'm twelve, I don't think I'm suppose to be. I got up from my seat and grabbed my towel to dry myself. It's almost my dinner time and I never miss a meal. I walked in the lobby seeing Maddie looking oddly at Zack and Cody.
"What's up?" I asked her.
"Nothing" Maddie said nonchalantly. Ya right! I didn't bother trying to pry out the news from her, I'm hungry. I opened the elevator and hit the number twenty-five.
As soon as I changed into my jeans and awesomely hot shirt I went downstairs to one of the hotel's restaurants. Zack and Cody were still in the lobby. Cody was kissing Barbara while Zack was kissing another girl. I was surprised that they were still doing this without getting in trouble, then again Mosby wasn't around.
"Hey guys!" I yelled between the four. The girls instantly fell off from the guys' laps. Barbara giggled while the other girl looked mad. Then I noticed who that girl was, Louise or something. I can't believe Zack got back with her. FYI, I'm so not jealous. He just told me that she was desperate, annoying, and clingy.
"Sorry Barbara" I said. She smiled.
"It's ok" she said fixing her glasses. I like her, she's cool…in a nerd way. Anyway, she's perfect for Cody. Louise and Zack, not so much.
"I got over three hundred dollars and an empty stomach. Who wants to join me for dinner?" I asked. Cody and Barbara immediately. Zack looked like he was about to say yes, but what's her face answered for him.
"No, we're busy. So go and run off with your little fourth grade friends" she said. Zack looked mad at her. Can you say, control freak?
"FYI, I am going to the seventh grade! You wouldn't know because you look like the type of person who repeats the third grade often" I said. Louise gasped. Overdramatic much?
"BTW, I didn't invite you" I said taking Zack's arm. "Come on guys" I said to Cody and Barbara. They laughed looking at Louise's angry face. We walked into the restaurant and had a good dinner. It was fun. Then again, what day for me isn't fun?
ZACK'S POV
You're probably wondering why I made out with Louise in the first place. Well the answer is simple, I got bored. Maybe, I shouldn't ask Camri out if this is the way I am. I don't want London sending me into space anyway. Well Barbara came by to meet up with Cody. Then after their nerd nonsense Cody leaned in and started making out with Barbara. First she was shock, and so was I because, hello they're nerds, but Cody just happens to be the only nerd who knows how to act like a normal teenage boy.
Louise came by asking for a second chance even if she didn't do anything. Like I said, I get bored at the destination. I was so bored that while she was saying how much of a better girlfriend she would be, I just started making out with her. I didn't want to, but boredom got into me. When she dissed Camri though, I was about to yell at her and tell her that I would rather be a fly's boyfriend, but Camri insulted her back before I had the chance.
Should I ask her out, or should I not ask her out. The two questions that are bothering my soon to be high school life. Let's name the cons and pros.
PRO: She's the girl of my dreams. She doesn't care about make up and clothes and still looks hot! Uh, I feel sinful for saying that a twelve year old girl is hot.
CON: London will kill me…literally
PRO: We'll have the greatest time ever. It's just like hanging out with her, just including kissing.
CON: She's never had a boyfriend and obviously clueless to kissing. Let alone making out.
PRO: It would be like heaven if I ever kiss her. It already does when I touch her slightly.
CON: My friends and the rest of high school will make fun of me for dating a soon to be seventh grader.
PRO: I'll just keep it a secret. Anyways when I grow up, it will be cool dating a younger woman.
CON: The gossip magazines will expose us so it'll be hard to keep it a secret.
PRO: She makes me really happy.
CON: I might like her too much and I might accidentally make out with her…or worse. It's not like I've never done 'it' before.
PRO: I really like her.
CON: There's a possibility that she won't like me back.
I sighed and played around with my food. Camri stared at me while Cody was trying to get Barbara to kiss her again. I have never been so proud of my brother, but that didn't stop me from being confused. I was sitting next to Camri, and leg was so close to mine. Usually if I was in that situation with another girl, I would of made my move a long time ago, but this girl is like my little sister. This is getting torturing.
"Are you ok?" Camri asked. By now Cody accomplished and he and Barbara and kissing. Her eyes were sparkling and her smile was killing me, in a good way.
"Ya, I'm fine. I'm actually kind of full" I said. Camri took the liberty of eating off my plate. No girl I had ever known had ever done that, except for Camri.
So my plan is still in cession, but I'm having some problems. I'm a little happy that I fixed one of them.
Permission from Mosby: GRANTED
Permission from London: UNKNOWN
An answer from Camri: UNKNOWN.
Well school is starting tomorrow. I hope I'll fall in love there.
