Chapter Three: Make War, Not Love

Today was Sunday. Sunday meant that tomorrow was Monday. Monday meant that it was the first day back to school with my new look which also meant that I need to put my plan into motion.

I was so nervous to go back to school tomorrow and have everyone see the new me. Well more like temporary me.

"I still don't see why you have to do this Cam." Devon said to me as I was picking out my outfit for tomorrow.

"If you knew all the things that Zach actually did then you would understand, but you don't." I put the phone down and put it on speaker so both of my hands would be free. "He's done more to me than anyone can imagine."

"What has he done to you that is so bad, Cam?" Devon asked. "I mean my sister is Sam for god sakes. I'm sure I know how you feel.""Was Sam ever your best friend?" I questioned.

"No." Devon said coldly. "And thank god too.""Well Zach was mine." I blurted out.

"Wait, you were friends with that thing?" Devon sounded disgusted.

"Yeah." I answered.

"Wow." was all he said.

All of a sudden, I heard a huge noise coming from my backyard. "Devon I have to go. Talk to you later." I hung up before he could even say goodbye.

I set my phone down on my nightstand and headed down to my backyard to see it full of a bunch of the preppy people who went to my school. Great, I thought.

"Well, well, well if it isn't the ugly duckling of the Morgan family." Grant, one of my brother's boneheaded friends, laughed.

I glared at him.

"Although it looks like you finally started to take care of yourself." Grant grinned.

I rolled my eyes. "Shut up, Grant." And then I walked over to Jonas. "What the hell are your idiotic friends doing here?" I demanded to know.

"None of your busi.." Zach turned around and his mouth literally dropped to the ground. "Cammie?"

"Who else?" I snapped. "Keep it down or I'll call mom and tell her what you're up too, Jonas.""Quit being a tattletale." Jonas groaned. "You're sixteen, not two."

"Well then tell your friends to shut it." I practically yelled.

"Calm down, Morgan." Zach put a hand on my shoulder. "We'll be quiet, but what happened to you? Finally decide to clean yourself up a bit?"

Everyone laughed.

I rolled my eyes and walked into the house.

I ran back of the stairs and started going through my clothes again. Tomorrow Zach and his little friends wouldn't know what hit them.

Then next morning I woke up at 5:30. The sun wasn't even out yet. I hated that trying to be really pretty and fit in with a group you hated had a price of waking up early to be paid.

I grabbed my outfit then headed to the bathroom to hop into the school to try to wake me up a little bit. I turned the water onto hot and waited a few minutes to let it warm up.

As soon as it was warm, I stepped in and just stood in the warm water for a few minutes, hoping to wake up.

After twenty minutes in the shower, I finally got out, dried myself off then started to get dressed.

I chose to wear a black off-the-shoulder shirt with a pair of skinny jeans and my black boots. I took a quick glance in the mirror and saw the reflection of the new me.

After getting dressed, I walked into the bathroom, grabbed my blow drier and started to dry my medium length brown hair off. When it was completely dry, I started to straighten it. It took a little longer then I had plan on it, but when I looked in the mirror it was all worth it.

Lastly I applied my make up. Now I was ready to eat breakfast and head out the door.

I walked down the stairs into the kitchen to see my brother making his breakfast. "Good morning, Jonas." I smiled.

Jonas looked a little confused. "Did you just say something nice to me?"

"Yeah I did." I laughed. "Can't I be nice to my wonderful older brother?"

"Okay what are you up too?" Jonas demanded to know.

"Nothing." I smiled and poured myself a bowl of cereal.

"You are. You're not the type of person to start acting like the way you are." Jonas said. "Cammie if you're trying to get Zach back. Don't. He'll find out and then you'll be really hurt."

"Yeah whatever. I'm sure you'll enjoy letting it happen anyways, seeing how I ruined your life when I was born." I spat.

"Cammie, I'm serious. I don't want to see Zach do anything to extreme to you." Jonas said.

"Like you actually care." I spat again, leaving, grabbing a banana and just leaving my bowl of cereal on the counter.

I grabbed my car keys and backpack, headed out to my car and drove off to Caribou Coffee to get a smoothie before school started.

Why does Jonas have to pretend like he cares? I mean honestly if he did care then he wouldn't let his stupid friends do anything to me. Right?, I thought.

I pulled into the parking lot of Caribou and saw Sam's Porsche sitting in the parking lot. This was going to be a fun morning.

I grabbed my purse and walked into Caribou getting a ton of looks from all the popular kids who hang out here before school starts.

"Who is that?" I heard a male voice.

"I don't know, but she is hot!" his friend said.

I turned around to see that it was just Jonas's friends, Josh Abrams and Preston Winters.

"Well, well if it isn't the little ugly duckling who turned into a swan." Sam laughed along with her clueless drones, Jenna and Macy.

"Is that the best the cold, hearted bitch of Blackthorne Senior High can come up with?" I shot back.

Sam narrowed her eyes. "Watch it. Just because you're pretty now doesn't mean we're going to accept you now.""I didn't change to be accepted by you. I changed because I needed too. I needed change so I can start over." I explained.

"Oh." was all she said.

"Now if you'll move out of my way, I would like to get something to drink." I pushed passed her.

When I reached the counter I heard Jenna say to Sam. "Sam we need to get Cammie to hang out with us. One she is extremely pretty and two we could get her back on the hockey team. I mean we sucked after she left. We stopped winning."

"No." Sam practically yelled. "She will never be one of us again. She left to hang out with her new friends. She stopped playing because she thought she was too good for us."I turned around. "I didn't stop playing hockey because I thought I was to good. I stopped playing because you turned into a real bitch and I didn't want to be on a team who had teammates like you."

Sam's jaw dropped. "How dare you say that.""Well Sam its true." Jenna's hand shot to her mouth quickly after she said that. "I'm sorry Sam.""Whatever." Sam marched angrily out of Caribou to her car.

"Wait, Sam!" Jenna and Macy called after her.

Boy this was a great way to start the morning.

I got my mocha latte then headed to school to see all the reactions I would get from all the students on my new look.

I walked into the school to show the rest of the school my new look.

As I was walking through the hallways, I heard people talking. Some girls were saying that I must have paid a lot of money to have stuff done to me and the guys were whistling and saying comments like "What a hottie" or "Damn Cammie Morgan is a hottie", and a few others I was getting bad looks from. I just ignored them.

I opened my locker and put my things away when all of a sudden, I felt someone's presence by me. I stepped away from my locker to see Zach.

"You need something?" I cocked an eyebrow.

"Hmm the rumors are true." Zach's eyes scanned my body which gave me a chill. "You really are a hottie. I just thought you were just making fun of the hot people yesterday, but wow."

"Wow what?" I asked.

"Wow that you're actually hot." Zach laughed.

"Thanks?" I said like a question.

"But I can't get the feeling that you changed for a reason." Zach started to walk circles around me.

"I changed because I needed too. I needed a fresh start. Got a problem with that?" I cocked an eyebrow.

"No, but I still think you're up to something and I plan to find out." Zach said.

"Good luck." I shut my locker door then walked off to History class.

I walked through the doors of my History class, to find everyone staring at me like I was an alien or something.

"Cammie sit here!" Jake tapped the seat next to him.

"Sorry Jakey, but she is sitting next to me." Lauren Collins said out of nowhere, "Right?"

"Yeah I am." I smiled and took the seat next to her which was also the seat next to Zach, "Sorry Jake. Maybe next time."

Jack grunted, "Never any good girls around here."

I turned to face him, "Just because I don't want to sit next to you doesn't mean I'm not a good girl."

"Lay off, Jake." Zach butted in, "She can sit where she wants too."

I cocked an eyebrow at him. He just shrugged his shoulders and opened his textbook to the current chapter we were on.

I shook my head. What was that about?

"You look so pretty Cammie!" Lauren squealed, making me turned to face her.

"Thanks." I smiled.

"You definitely have to start hanging out with the girls and I." Lauren smiled.

"I don't think Sam will be okay with that." I sighed.

"Forget Sam. The rest of the girls want you too. We out rule Sam." Lauren grinned. "So you must sit with us at lunch."

"Okay." I smiled.

Classes went by faster than I had expected. Now it was time for lunch which meant I would be sitting with Lauren and her friends.

I went up to grab a tray then went in line and started to get food when I was stopped by Zach, "Do you need something?" I tried to push past him, but he wouldn't let me go.

"Are you sure you're not up to something?" Zach narrowed both eyes at me.

"No for the millionth time." I answered maybe a little to quickly.

"I'll find out if you out are." Zach snatched an apple off of my tray and took a bite then left.

"Ugh!" I put another apple on my plate and grabbed the rest of my food.

I entered the cafeteria and spotted Lauren, who was waving her hand to come join her and the rest of the group. I smiled and emerged through the aisles between the tables of kids who were giving me looks like I was an idiot who was just getting to get hurt from hanging out with these guys. I just kept walking with my head held up high and a smile on my face. There was no way they were going to get me. It was me who was going to get them.

"Hey Cam!" Lauren shrieked.

"Hi Cammie." Brooke smiled. "How are you?""Hey guys." I replied. "I'm good you?"

"Just fine." Sam interrupted. "What are you doing here?""She is sitting with us now." Lauren said.

"So deal with it." Brooke added.

"Yeah Sam." Jenna blushed, can't believing she just told off Sam.

"Fine. Whatever. She can sit with us, but if she screws us over, I'm going to get her back." Sam spat.

"Chill out, Sam." I said. "I'm not going to anything to you. Relax.""So now that you're hanging out with us you have to drop your loser friends kay?" Sam cocked an eyebrow.

"Got it. I mean I look like this now. I don't need to hang out with them." I smirked.

"Also you need to rejoin hockey and soccer." Sam practically ordered.

"Okay." I said.

"Good." Anna joined in the conversation. "Has anyone seen Zach?"

"Right here." I looked up to see Zach sliding into the sit next to Anna.

All of a sudden the rest of the guys joined in.

"Cam?" Jonas looked a little confused. "What are you doing here?"

"She's sitting with us now." Brooke smiled. "Who knew your sister was hot!"

Jonas cocked an eyebrow. "All the guys here at this table leave her alone. She's not a piece of meat. Got it?"

All the guys shook their heads. "Thanks Jonas." I rolled my eyes.

"So Cam." Grant began. "Now that you're hanging out with us, I'm sure the girls told you what you need to do to be apart of the group."

"No they didn't." I frowned.

"Well if you go to Brooke's this weekend you'll find out." Sam smirked that evil smirk that Zach does every now and then.

"Okay?" I said like a question.

"And if you pass you'll fit right in." Sam laughed.

"Bring it on." I grinned.

Sam frowned and I just kept grinning.

This plan was going to be a fun one and I couldn't wait to get them all back for all the crap that they put other people through.
