I'm so sorry if the last chapter was kind of boring and short. :(
Anyway, I hope this makes up for it!

Zach's POV-
I stretched as I left the theater with Grant and Jonas. The movie was such a rip-off. I can't believe we actually sat through the whole thing. Grant caught sight of a 'hot' girl and left to go talk to her. I rolled my eyes and followed.
"Yeah we should totally hang out sometimes." Grant was practically drooling over the girl. And I'm not that surprised. She was really hot. Someone walked up behind her and the girls turned around.
"Hey Cammie! You done?"
"Yeah, let's go." Cammie looked at me. "Oh, hey Zach." she said brightly. The girl looked from me to Cammie, grinning.
"You two know each other?"
"Not really. Just met him while unpacking."
"Oh. Shit! It's pouring!" I glanced outside and sure enough, it was thundering and raining. Cammie groaned.
"I'll go get the car, Bex. Wait here." Bex nodded and Cammie walked swiftly through the doors and into the rain. I glanced back at Bex and Grant who seemed to be throughly engrossed in their conversation.
"And I'll go with her." I stalked out after Cammie. "Cammie? Where are you?" I saw Cammie turn around in surprise.
"Jeez, you're soaking wet! Don't you have an umbrella?" I shook my head. She gestured for me to go under hers. I slipped under the cover and pulled back my hood.
"Where's your car?" she asked.
"Oh, it's over that- hey what the heck?" She took off running, dragging me by the arm until we were hiding in the alley. A group of grown men passed us silently. Cammie exhaled and waved back at me.
"I should go now. Sorry about..that. Bye." and with that, she left towards her car. I saw her get into a blue Lexus and drive off towards the entrance of the movie theater to pick up Bex. Then she drove off into the rain. I stared after her, until Grant came running up to me.
"What the hell man? I thought you were going to get the car?" I kept quiet as we drove, Grant rambling on about how Bex looked TOTALLY interested in him and blah blah blah. I pulled up outside his house and he hopped out of the car and went in. I parked in my driveway and sat there, contemplating about what just happened. She was obviously not going to tell me why she acted..IDK...scared? The phone rang, making me flinch.
"Hello?"
"Hey, is this Zach?" A familiar voice called out from the phone. Cammie. When I didn't answer, she sighed.
"I'm sorry, okay? I just didn't think that.." she trailed off.
"Why?" was the only word that would come out of my mouth.
"I can't explain. Just, please don't tell anyone." Now I exploded.
"YOU JUST DRAG ME INTO AN ALLEY AND DON'T EXPLAIN ANYTHING AND I'M PRETTY SURE THOSE GUYS WERE LOOKING FOR YOU AND YOU JUST EXPECT ME TO NOT TELL ANYONE?"
"I'm sorry. I mean, REALLY. I didn't want to drag anyone else into this mess that I'm in." By now I had calmed down.
"Can you at least tell me why those people were after you?"
"No, sorry, again. I can't. It's just- never mind. And thank you."
"For what?"
"For not giving me away. I gotta go." "Bye Zach."
"Bye." I dropped the phone and leaned back into my seat. It was already 9:00 so I got out of the car and flipped my hood up. Through the drizzle, I saw Cammie get out of her own car and walk into her house. I shook my head. This girls was my newest mystery so far. I ran into my room, flopped onto my bed and stared out the window. I saw a figure moving in Cammie's house. When I looked closer, I realized that room was Cammie's room! Her shades were open. I had a telescope in my closet so I pulled that out and set it up in the window. I peered through it and saw Cammie practicing her karate. The thing was, that she was crying while pulling out the best moves I've ever seen. Was what I said too much for her? Girls can be so emotional sometimes. She suddenly stopped and ran out of her room. I saw her climb up onto her roof and stare off into space. A car came outside and honked and without looking where she was going, she stepped forward and jumped off the roof!
"Holy shit!" I yelled. But when she landed on the ground, she walked up to the car, got in, and drove off. Who the heck was this girl? Or better yet, WHAT was she? She was obviously different than the other snobby girls around here. And I was determined to find out why.
I walked into school the next morning and saw Cammie talking with Bex and another tiny girl with blonde hair. She saw me and quickly walked away into her first class. Was it just me or did she just blush? Weird. I walked to History and saw Cammie sitting in the seat that was next to mine! Then I realized that I didn't know what classes she had since it was her first day. I walked up to her and smirked. She looked up with astonishment in her eyes.
"You have History first too?" she asked meekly. I nodded, smirking.
"We have a quiz today you know."
"Great." She shook her head and asked me what chapter we were doing because in her old school, she had the same textbook.
"Chapter 6." Cammie rolled her eyes and stared towards the front of the room at the teacher. She groaned quietly and put her head on her desk. Curious, I looked up.
"Hello class. Your teacher will not be here for the rest of the year due to some problems so I will be teaching you for the rest of the year." "My name is Mr. Solomon." "Now I understand that you have a quiz today so I will be passing it out and you will have the remainder of the period to finish it." He handed out the papers but skipped Cammie for some reason. Then he walked to his desk and pulled out a packet of approximately ten pages in it and gave it to her! What the heck? But Cammie didn't look surprised at all. She just rolled her eyes again and started in on the quiz. I shook my head and looked at my own paper. This was so easy! I figured I'd be done before anyone else, but right before I got up, Cammie slipped out of her seat and turned in the packet! Now I think she's like some really freakishly smart nerdy person or she's so dumb that they had to give her a bunch of easy questions.
Even more, she got the test that we were taking and finished it in two minutes flat! That's just weird. I really need to figure out what's going on with this girl. After History, I cornered her.
"What was that packet that gave you?" She fidgeted nervously before sighing.
"It was just some extra stuff since I joined school late." She muttered something under her breath that sounded like," So not fair."
"What do you have next?" I asked, secretly hoping that it would be English with Mr. Drafes.
"Um, let's see," she started, pulling out her schedule and scanning over it. "English with Mr. Drafes." I smirked and she raised her eyebrows.
"What's with the smirk?" She sounded annoyed.
"Oh just let me take you to your next class." She looked confused but didn't refuse. (i just realized... it rhymes! :D) When we got to our class, I made a big show of saying high to Grant and sitting down next to him. Cammie's eyes widened.
"Your second period class is..english?" I smirked and nodded.
"Got a problem with it sweetheart?" She groaned and plopped down in the only empty seat which was next to me. :)
"Just asking, but can I see your schedule?" Why? I handed her my crumpled schedule and she compared hers and mine, eyes growing wider by the second. At last, she crumpled up her own schedule and stuffed it in her bag.
"So?"
"We have the EXACT same schedule." She groaned again. I laughed quietly. This was going to be fun.
Well, how was it?
I hope it made up for the short chapter last time. :) Review and tell me if you like it!
