I had mistakes in the first chapters:( My apologies.
I had a couple mistakes in the first chapter… here is Cammie's schedule with who is in her classes. Do not worry about the first chapter; some of the statements are wrong. Here is the official chart. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The corrections were: Liz is in all Cammie's classes but first.
Chase is also in her 6th period.
Grant has second and sixth with her.
I figured I should clear that up to everyone.
I sat in the bathroom thinking. Josh was going to ask me out! I didn't know how I was going to respond. I mean obviously, he was a great guy! He was nice, caring, sweet, and cute! He was virtually perfect. He just had one flaw. He wasn't Zach... Oh wait! Did I just say that?
Oh my gosh! I like Zach! I like Zach Goode! There is no way.
"Cammie, are you okay?" Bex asked through the door.
"Never better." I responded unconvincingly. I opened the door to find Bex and Liz standing there with disbelieving faces. My lie was clearly fake; I revealed to them what had just happened, and they gasped. Apparently, you are not supposed to tell someone you have to pee while they are asking you out. No one ever shared this tid-bit with me!
"No wonder why he left." Liz said. Bex nodded her head along.
"Wait, what?" I questioned. Did they just say that he left?
"Josh left. He said he had to go work help his dad at the store." I had learned that Josh's dad owned the local pharmacy. However, none of us believed that was his true reason for leaving.
"I'll worry about him on Monday." I said waving his departure aside. They nodded, and we headed back out to join the boys.
It turns out that without us being at the pool, they got bored. No surprise there. All they had accomplished while we were there was either staring at us or drooling. They're such guys!
Once they dried off, they had sat down to watch Radio. (A.N That movie was made at my high school! I know and love Radio, so if you would like to know more about him, PM me!) Football movies never get old. We watched the second half of the movie when I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and Macey stood there smiling at me. "Macey!" I said as I engulfed her in a hug.
"Hey Cams. What's going on here? Cute outfit by the way. I'm proud." She said.
"Grant and I had some friends over."I said as she walked inside. "Oh and thanks."
She surveyed the room. "The brunettes cute. Go for him!" She whispered as she wiggled her eyebrows at me and I chuckled.
"There are many words to describe Zach with but I'm not sure cute is the right one." She too laughed. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to get a few things; Jake and I are going to go have a picnic in the park." She said. She continued to survey the room. "What kind of party is this? Ya'll need to do something fun: spin the bottle, truth or dare, seven minutes in heaven," She rattled off numerous games loud enough for everyone to hear. Gee. Thanks Macey.
"Oh lets play truth or dare!" Bex suggested. Macey grabbed a 12 pack of coke and was off. Something tells me she had found out about our night and had just wanted to check in.
"My work here is done." She muttered. I shot Macey a glare as she left; this only caused her to giggle. We both knew I HATED this game! Lets just say, the last time we played, it involved kissing a hot guy I hated in front of my crush! It was not a good night.
By the time I had turned around, they were all in a circle. "Thanks guys. No need to ask for my opinion or anything." I muttered more to myself than anyone. I knew they wouldn't be able to hear me, but I knew they could tell I didn't want to play from the look on my face.
There was only one spot left; it was between Bex and Zach, so I reluctantly sat down. Grant was beside Bex, Jonas was beside Grant, Liz was beside Jonas, Zach was beside Liz and myself.
"So." Liz questioned nervously. "Who wants to go first?"
"I'll go." Bex said fearlessly. "Truth or dare Goode."
Zach smirked at her. I'm pretty sure that that smirk is officially here forever. "What do you think Baxter?" He retorted. She glared at him, so he continued, "Dare."
"I dare you to call Whitney and tell her you love her and want to be with her for the rest of your life." You may not know, but Whitney is the one person here in Roseville that I can not stand. She's orange, fake, and she barely wears any clothes, but the worst thing about her is her personality. She's horrible, irritable, and an awful person. I'm sure all of you know a girl like her.
Zach looked repulsed about the idea, but he continued on. He pulled out his phone and began to dial.
It rung for a few times, and Zach put the phone on speaker.
"Hey baby." Zach said seductively into this phone. I had to admit, his voice was drawing ME in, and he wasn't even talking to me. I must admit, he is Goode; yes, there was a pun intended.
"Who is this?" Her snotty voice screeched over the phone. Typical.
"The name is Goode. Zach Goode." There he goes trying to be all James Bond.
I heard her gasp. "Oh well in that case, hey Zachy poo." She purred. I felt like throwing up.
"I-I had to- to tell you..." He fake stuttered. Then he quickly said, "I love you and I want to be with you for the rest of my life!" It was completely convincing! This boy has some mad acting skills!
"Well that's a relief! It was rumored that you like that Morgan girl! Ugh! I can't stand her." I silently chuckled. I didn't mind her comment about me; I wasn't a fan of her either. "Oh, and I love you too!" She said.
"Don't you have a boyfriend thought?" He asked in what sounded like a sad tone.
"Yeah, but he doesn't have to know." She said, trying to sound seductive. It was a failed attempt.
"Um. Okay this is getting weird. It was a dare Whitney. I don't like you or your horrible personality." He said. We heard a screech as he hung up!
By the time the call was over, we were all cracking up. The desperation in her voice amused me. I knew it was kind of mean, but every last word he said was true.
"Gallagher Girl, truth or dare." It was now that I knew this name was never leaving. Bex looked at me and winked.
"Truth." I responded. I didn't want the game to repeat itself like the last time I played.
"What did you think about Whitney's statement about me liking you?" He questioned.
I was unsure how to answer this, "I don't really think it matters. It's not true." I said as I waved the question off my mind. He almost looked sad for a split second, but he composed himself. "Grant truth or dare." I asked.
"Dare." He responded confidently!
"I dare you to choose truth." I responded in the same manner. He groaned. It was a slightly cheap move I made, but it had to be done.
He shot me a glare; he knew where this was going. We had this twin-telepathy thing going on. "Fine. Truth."
"Do you like Bex?" Both Bex and Grant's faces reflected shock. However, since I knew that they both liked each other, I had to clear this up!
He pulled himself together and responded with just as much confidence as before. "Of course." I think Bex almost fainted.
"Truth or Dare Bex." He asked. She smiled as she subtly flicked her hair. I don't know how she does it!
"Truth." She said. Now I know you are all thinking, Bex never picks truth, but she wanted her chance to say she liked him, too!
"Do you like me back?" He questioned.
"Of course I do." She said as she hugged him! Major Aww!
"I'm not done with my truth. Will you go on a date with me tomorrow night?" In all my years living with him, I never knew Grant to be so romantic.
"Yes!" She replied! I smiled. This was such a love story. If they got married, this would be the cutest story to tell to their kids.
"Liz truth or dare." She asked.
"Truth." Liz responded. No one was surprised.
"Do you like Jonas?"
"Yes!" I had never heard her speak with such confidence in her answer! I smiled. They would be precious. "Jonas truth or dare."
"Truth." He said with a smile.
"Who do you like?" She asked.
"You." He responded without hesitation. Okay, that was officially too cute! Liz blushed a deep red, and Jonas just smiled. They too hugged and were basically a couple. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked. Liz nodded. Yep, they are a couple officially!
Jonas asked Zach next. "Truth or dare."
"Well, since I am the only one who didn't do truth last time, I will do truth, too." He said.
"What is your most embarrassing moment?" Zach pondered the question.
"Zachary Goode doesn't get embarrassed," was his smartass reply.
"You have to have something." Jonas urged, but even he seemed to believe Zach's comment.
"Nope." He responded.
"Oh come on." Jonas said!
He seemed to think for awhile. "Well there was this one time when I liked this girl named Sarah, and my mom knew. We saw Sarah and her mom at the grocery store one day. My mom walked up to them and started to chat with them. She asked Sarah how her basketball was going. A look of shock stood on Sarah's face and she asked how she knew she played. My mom responded that she was the only thing I ever talked about. She found it sweet, and we ended up going out" He said. It went dead silent. Zach truly had nothing embarrassing about him.
"And then you found ten dollars." Grant said. (for those of you who don't know that joke here it is: When someone starts off telling a story that they think is extremely interesting but in fact is actually very boring, this phrase can be thrown in after the speaker has finished to make it slightly better.) Grant's comment got us all laughing. Zach just smirked.
He turned and look at me. "Cammie truth or dare."
"Dare." I responded eagerly.
"I dare you to kiss me." I was taken-a-back. Zach Goode could not like me. Not plain jane Cammie. He had to go for someone beautiful like my sister Macey, or someone muscular like Bex, or even someone smart like Liz. I didn't have anything special to offer him.
"And what if I don't." I challenged with fake confidence.
"Then you'd be a sore loser." He smirked.
"Well in that case-" I said as I was cut off by our lips meeting! Fireworks exploded! I had never felt anything like this! It was extraordinary! His lips were soft and as he put his arms around me I couldn't help but feel safe.
I broke off the kiss, for I knew my brother was sitting there. Talk about awkward.
I think I had the biggest smile ever on my face! I looked over at Zach to find a smile on his face! He was gorgeous with a smile instead of a smirk. He reached for my hand and held it.
I could see Grant sending silent messages to Grant: don't screw with my sister, if you hurt her I'll hurt you, and all sorts of things like that!
We all stayed and talked. Let me recap for those whose heads just overloaded tonight. Jonas and Liz are officially a couple, Bex and Grant are going on a date tomorrow, and Zach kissed me! KISSED ME!
At 3 am, someone got the sense to go to bed, so we all did. We said goodnight to the boys, and I received a hug from Zach. I think it was safe to say that we were talking. At least, I hope we were! Bex, Liz, and myself all headed to my room as the boys headed to Grant's.
At 11, I woke up. I went downstairs to find Liz and Bex making pancakes for me. They're the best best friends!
"Where are the guys?" I asked.
"What you really mean is, where is Zach?" Bex retorted. She knew me to well.
I blushed but continued nonetheless for she was right. "Whatever. Where are they?"
"They went over to hang out with Drew, Ben, Chase, and Logan." She said. I was somewhat sad. Zach didn't even say goodbye.
Bex set a plate of warm pancakes down in front of me. I graciously thanked her. My spirits were lifted again.
They left at 12; Bex had her date with Grant at 1:30 so she had to go get ready, and Liz was going to go to Jonas to see some astronaut convention. I guess you could call that a date. Either way, I would be hearing all the details from them when they got back. Realization hit me; I had no plans on a Saturday! I felt lame. Oh well. I just contended with the fact and sat downstairs watching TV. Sweet Home Alabama (the TV show... if you're not familiar with it, it's the best) was on. Just when it was getting good, the doorbell rung. I reluctantly turned off the television and walked to the door. I opened it; Josh was standing there with a bouquet of red roses.
Crap. Clearly, he didn't get the signs I sent him last night.
"Cammie. I really like you, will you go out with me?" I mentally rolled my eyes! He couldn't take a clue!
"I'm sorry. I like someone else." I responded.
"Just one date? Maybe you will change your mind!" He was not taking no for an answer. I was almost annoyed!
"No. Now if you will excuse me, I have things to do. I really am sorry." I said. He nodded. He turned around and walked down the steps as I shut the door. I didn't want it to be awkward; I didn't want to be mean, but he just doesn't understand that I don't like him!
I went back to my show. It was just getting good again when the doorbell decided it had to ring again! I opened the door slightly annoyed to find Logan standing there. Great... Now I was more than annoyed.
"What do you want?" I questioned skeptically.
"Can't you just say hi for once?" He responded in a slightly sad voice. I realized I had sounded bitchy, and I felt bad.
"Hi." I said. There was an awkward silence that lasted for ages. It continued on and on and on until finally I had enough! "What did you come for?"
"I just wanted to start fresh. I was a jerk when I first met you, and I am sorry. Please accept my apology." I happen to be a very excepting person, so when he apologized, I completely believed him. He seemed sincere, and I wasn't ready to hate anyone.
"Apology accepted." I said with a smile.
"Okay good. It had been on my mind for awhile." He said as he walked down the steps. He turned around and waved, "Bye friend!"
"Bye!" I said.
By the time I returned to the TV, my show was off, and I was more than disappointed. I love that show! Oh well! I changed the channel and began to watch Ghost Adventures. This show has added proof that any guy named Zach is hot! Right now, I'm pretty sure it's true!
I looked at my watch. It was 1:45. No point in calling Bex, for she was on her date. That means I couldn't play Blackops with Grant. Liz and Jonas were still on their date thing, and so I sat back to watch TV. I was sad. I hadn't talked to Zach much since we kissed!
The doorbell rung for the third time today! I was getting slightly frustrated. When I opened the door, Mr. Goode stood there. I couldn't help but smile.
"Oh hey Gallagher Girl."
"What's up Goode?" I said nonchalantly.
"I'm bored. Hang out with me?" He asked. He didn't give me much chance to answer, for he stepped into my house. "I wanted to talk about last night." He said.
And there is chapter 4! My infamous cliffhanger:) Many people responded well to getting the sneak peak, so I think I will do that again! Also, if you are confused on which classes Cammie has please check the authors note at the top! All of my authors notes are ALWAYS important!
