Chapter Two: Getting Settled In & Laying Out By The Pool

After my little meet and greet with Zach, I walked inside to check out the rest of the house. When I took my first step through the deck door, I was impressed immediately. My mom already had everything unpacked except for Grant and my rooms. She thought we should do that ourselves and she was right. Anyways the living room had deep red colored walls and the carpet was a creamed color. The plasma screen hung on the wall, directly in the middle with the surround sound underneath it. The sectional couch was pushed against a wall underneath the bay window. There pictures hanging up all over the place. Some of family and some that I took (I liked photography a lot). Next I checked out the kitchen. I'm pretty sure there wasn't much too see there, but you never know. I walked into the large kitchen and the huge fridge. I bet Grant was happy to see that. The guy loves his food. Then I saw that we had a breakfast nook with two black bar stools tucked underneath. Lastly I checked out the computer room or my mom's office. It was usually both. I saw a huge dark oak wood desk with a Dell computer already set up. I saw bookshelves on two walls, filled with books or picture frames. I noticed my mom got more filing cabinets than she had before.

After seeing some of the house, I decided to finally check out my bedroom. It was on the third floor of the house. I might not like that, but oh well at least I'll get some exercise from it. I slowly turned the knob on my door and when I opened my door completely, I almost fainted. My room was amazing. The walls painted light blue. My carpet was a creamed color. I had two huge windows and a door that lead to a balcony (Awesome!). I pushed the doors open and stepped out into the hot, beautiful August day. I didn't have much of a view because my bedroom faced our neighbors house. I was kinda sad about that, but then I noticed the room across from mine. It was definitely a guys room. All of a sudden the door opened and Zach walked in. My bedroom was right by his! He started to take off his shirt and I turned around, blushing.

"Well hey there." Zach opened his window more. "Looks like you're also my bedroom neighbor." I blushed and giggled a little bit. "Yeah I guess so."

He smirked. "I hope you're not a peeping Tom."

My mouth fell open a little bit. "I am no such thing." I wish I had something to throw at him.

"Relax." Zach said. "I was just joking with you."

"I know that." I started to narrow my eyes at him.

He started to smirk again. "I'll just let you know that I may or may not be a peeping Tom." He winked then closed his window, grabbing his Ipod and walking out of his room.

Ugh! How rude is he? That's the second time he just walked away from me. Also he was starting to act like a real smart ass and that damn smirk of his was starting to get on my nerves big time! Zachary Goode seemed like a jack ass, but I couldn't help thinking that he was the most hottest boy on earth.

I walked back into my empty room, waiting for my things to get here. All of a sudden I heard a truck outside my window. The moving truck was finally here!

"Cam!" I heard Grant yell. "Our stuff is here. Time to get unpacking."

No really? I didn't hear the truck outside. "Okay. I'll be down in a minute."

A few hours later, my room was all set up and ready to be lived in. I really liked the way it was set up. My queen sized bed was pushed into one of the left corners of my room. My desk was underneath one of my windows and my laptop sat on top with a Facebook page popped up. My small dresser was placed between my bedroom door and closet door. I scattered all my pictures over my walls. I hung up all the photos I've tried to professional take(a lot of them actually turned out really cool!). Then I put all my clothes away in my closet. After that I shoved all my books and movies onto there shelves. The last thing I did was go put all my bathroom things away in my very own bathroom (I was happy that I didn't have to share with Grant anymore!).

When my room was all done, I decided to go lay out by the pool for a little bit. I changed into a pair of dark jean shorts and yellow tank top. I grabbed the current book I was reading, my sunglasses and my Ipod in case I wanted to listen to my music later.

I walked down into the kitchen to find Grant with a bag of potato chips in one hand and a couple Swiss rolls in the other. How in the world could guys eat whatever they wanted to and not gain a damn pound?

"Where are you going?" Grant asked with his mouth full of food.

"Out by the pool." I grabbed a water from the fridge. "So if you really need me, I'll be out there." I slide the glass door open and guess what I saw? Zach was in his backyard with some of his friends. Oh joy.

I walked to the lounge chair and sat down. I set my Ipod and water onto the table that was next to me. I put my aviator sunglasses and opened my book to the page where I left off from. As I started to really concentrate on my book, I heard voice behind me. It was obviously Zach and his friend. I listened to their conversation.

"Dude who's the hottie next door?" some guy asked.

"Oh that's Cameron Morgan." Zach answered. I was going to get him back later for calling me that.

"She's hot!" another guy shouted, making me look back over at them. I saw the boy blush when he saw me staring.

I looked at the three guys that were with Zach. The first one seemed pretty tall. Probably six foot two, with black hair and the most gorgeous blue eyes I'd ever seen. The next guy was kinda shorter and skinnier compared to the other guys. He was cute though. The last guy was probably about six foot even with blonde hair and brown eyes that reminded me of chocolate chip cookies.

"Hi Cammie." Zach smiled instead of smirked. "Whatcha up too?"

Wasn't it kind of obvious? I was reading, but whatever. I'll play along to their little game. "Just laying outside and reading. You guys?" I smiled a big smile at them. I saw the black haired boy blush at me again. Messing with them was going to be fun.

"Oh sounds fun?" Zach said almost like a question.

I ignored him. "So who are you guys?"

The black haired boy answered first. "I'm Josh Abrams. My family owns the pharmacy in town if you need anything there." He was sort of rambling. Cute.

"Thanks." I winked at him. He blushed again. It was going to be easy to get that boy to blush.

Then the blonde haired boy answered. "I'm Preston Winters. Yeah my dad is the governor, but I don't really like to tell people." I wanted to roll my eyes, but I held back.

The last guy finally answered. "I'm Jonas Anderson. Nice to meet you." He seemed really sweet.

"Nice to meet you guys too." I smiled at them all.

"Well guys let's, let Cammie get back to her reading and tanning." Zach glared at them.

"Bye boys." I opened my book and went back to reading while they went back to playing soccer in Zach's backyard.

"You are one lucky bastard." Josh said.

I smirked. Living here is going to be really fun.

After sitting outside for awhile, I decided to go take a cold shower, then lay in bed and finish my book. I got into my room and I saw that Zach's window was open. He was sitting on his bed, listening to his Ipod and just looking at the wall. He must be really thinking about something to be staring at the wall like that. I was about to say something when he got up and left. I went back to what I was going to do before. I grabbed a pair of maroon short shorts, a black tank top and a gold racerback to wear over it. I headed to the bathroom and turned on the water to cold.

Ten minutes later, I stepped out of the shower, got dressed, brushed my hair and then went to lay in my bed. I stared up at the ceiling for a few minutes and thought about what it was going to be like at my new school. Would I make any new friends the first day or would it be like at my old school and I make tons of enemies the first day? Would Grant be by my side when I need him or is he going to ditch me for some new girl he meets? I shook those thoughts out of my head. The first day would be fine.

I grabbed my book, flipped to the page I was at and finished the book until I heard something outside my window. I got up and looked out the window. It was Zach. He was sitting on tapping his pencil to the beat of the music that was playing from his Ipod. He must have been doing his homework. Great. Now was thinking about the first day of school again. I quickly shook the thought of school out of my head and started to concentrate on my book again. I read the book until I fell asleep.

What do you think? Review!
