Thanks for all the reviews! You have no idea how happy they made me! Here's chapter two. :D Also, in case your wondering where Liz and Jonas are, they were categorized as 'Geeks' by the school. Seance Zach and Grant are popular, Jonas doesn't fit into their 'crowd' and likewise for Liz with Bex and Macey. Let's just say their school has a lot of this kind of thing going on, and as Zach faintly mentioned in this chapter, everyone has a label or rank that basically states how they fit in, or in some cases, Bex and Grant for example, what kind of relationship their in. I am planning on bringing Liz and Jonas into the story eventually, if not the next chapter, and hopefully we'll get a little Jiz into the story too. ;)
ZACH'S POV
"Hey Zach," Grant, my best friend, said as I joined our group of friends, which consisted of us and four other guys named Josh, Dylan, Hunter, and Shane.
"Hey, where's Bex?" I asked him, Bex and him have been dating for almost two years now. You'd think they'd be together at a dance.
"She's with New Girl," He told me, pointing across the gym. I followed his finger to see Bex and another girl, probably "New Girl", picking their way through the crowds. Something about her, New Girl, seemed familiar. She had light brown hair, but that was all I really had time to process before she and Bex disappeared behind a group of Sophomores. Though, I couldn't help but notice how New Girl was kinda cute too.
Immediately I pushed away the thought, Zachary Goode doesn't date. "Ah, okay. What's New Girl's name?"
"Donno, don't care," Grant shrugged, and then he looked at me and a grin spread across his face, "Unless you where thinking of finally getting a girlfriend. In which case, I would definitely care enough to get her name for ya."
I actually had to force myself into my usual smirk, "No thanks, I'm good being the Bachelor."
Grant rolled his eyes, "Suit yourself, dude, but you don't know what your missin' here."
"What could I possibly be missing?" I asked, trademark smirk included.
He thought about it for a minute, but I guess that was thinking too much more then he's used to, "Whatever, but really, why are you so against it?"
"No reason," Lie, "I'm gonna get something to drink."
"Fine, grab me something too, kay?" He said, turning around to find a conversation with someone else. I watched him approach Josh Abrams, who seemed to be watching something from the crowd of people dancing. Following his gaze, I noticed that Josh had been looking at three girls. Bex, Macey, and New Girl(again, what is it about her that I feel like I've seen before?). Everyone knew that Bex and Grant where an 'exclusive' and Macey was 'untouchable', as our peers have ranked them, but New Girl didn't have her set place in the school food chain yet. So more then likely, Josh had been watching her. And it really shouldn't have made a difference, but that bothered me.
Wait a minute..
I headed over to the concession table, but only the last thing on my mind had anything to do with actually getting punch. Why? Because I think I just figured out what seemed so familiar about New Girl. She reminded me of someone. Someone that I've laughed with, cried with, humiliated myself with, and even almost.. almost shared my heart with. The one and only girl who had ever almost been an exception to my never-dating-again-rule was living all the way in Nebraska and had no idea that I had ever wanted anything more from her then friendship, and her name was Cammie.
And then she hit me. No, not Cammie, New Girl backed up right into me.
"Oops! Sorry!" She turned around, though when she saw who she had run into, her face exchanged to an awkward expression.
"Its okay, I'm not hurt that easily," I smirked at her. I saw her bite her lip, and couldn't help but notice her eyes where blue. Just like Cammie's. Except Cammie is in Nebraska. Still, I needed to get out of here, the déjà vu was killing me, "Uh, I better go, I'm supposed to be getting drinks." I said.
"Oh, okay," Did she look disappointed? This is awkward.
"Yeah, seeya," I said and continued to make my way over to the concessions.
CAMMIE'S POV
Well, at least he finally talked to me, even if it was only because I'm clumsy, and he still doesn't know who I am.
I felt so stupid, I could have introduced myself. Maybe he would have remembered me if I had. But no, I had to be all tongue tied in front of him. I wanted to hit my head on my bedroom wall, but of course, the noise would have woken up my parents. Plus, I didn't know what I was doing tomorrow yet, er later today(my alarm clock says 1:13 AM), so I probably didn't want any bruises.
I sat down on the edge of my bed, still thinking about the night that had passed by in what had seemed like minutes instead of hours. Apart from the awkward encounter with Zach, the night really hadn't been that bad, I guess. Bex and Macey had actually gotten me to dance (eventually), and it had actually been fun. I had even been asked to slow dance, but not by Zach, who I noticed had casually slipped out of the gym right when the music had gotten slow. Still not over Holly, huh? The bitch, but at least I don't have to watch him be in a relationship with some other girl, again.
I was going to follow him, introduce myself, and see what happened. If nothing, I would have just acted like I was originally just getting a drink of water anyway and gone back into the gym. Before I could make it all the way over to the exit though, I felt a tap in my shoulder from behind me. When I turned around I was staring at a cute, blushing, blue-eyed boy with brown wavy hair. He told me his name was Josh (and of course I told him my name too), and then he asked me to dance. I remember that my face felt hot as he led me back to the middle of the gym, and then we danced..
Yeah, this night really hadn't been that bad at all.
I hope you liked it! One question: Should I just keep with POV's of Zach and Cammie only, or would you like me to mix it up a little and get a few other POV's in there throughout the story, like, say Tina Walters? The queen of gossip(Tina) may have a big role in this story, but I am still a little undecided about that. If anyone has some idea of a character they'd like to have a POV, please tell me and why you want that charter's. I cannot promise anything to be included in the story for sure. Opinions! Ideas! Please share!
