Chapter Three

"Hey guys." I said, but my eyes were trained on the electric green ones staring back at me...

"Oh my gosh, Cammie! You look great!" My mom exclaimed.

"Cool hair dude." Nick nodded at me.

"Nice outfit." Joe said dryly. (I think he thought I was holding too much of the green eyes boy's attention.)

"Love the jacket." Abby said.

"Wow, Camster." Grant remarked.

"Like the new look." Jonas stated.

"When you said your sister was pretty I didn't know it was the under statement of the century." The green eyed boy said quietly to Grant, who glared at his comment. Clearly I was the only other person that heard the boy's comment. The boy was also smirking.

"Uh, Grant? Who's your friend?" I asked, staring into those green eyes again.

"Oh, yeah. This is Zach. We met in..." He cleared his throat. "...um, Boston. His mom just got a new job so they moved here. He went to Blackthorne High there but he will attend Gallagher High this year with us." When did Grant start speaking in correct grammar?

"Lovely," I stuck out my hand to the boy, Zach. "I'm Cammie."

"I'm well aware, Gallagher Girl." He said, smirking again. "I'm Zach."

The nickname didn't faze me. "Touche, Blackthorne Boy."

Zach held my hand a second longer than neccesary.

"Who wants to go out for the rest of the day?" Mom asked. "My treat?"

There was a chorus of "yeah"s and "sure"s.

"Wait, me too?" Zach asked.

"Well, of course!" Mom told him, though Joe looked a little grim. "If your mom's okay with it."

He glanced at his phone screen, smirked and shrugged. "She's cool if you're cool."

"Great! We can go to Jino's!"

With that we all walked towards Joe's truck. Somehow, Zach found himself jogging to catch up with me.

"What's Jino's?" He asked me.

"Best pizza in town. They even have an arcade along with awesome garlic knots." I told him with a smile, which brought on a smirk from him.

"And who are they?" He pointed to everyone else in front of us. "I just got here so I know no one besides Grant."

"Well there's Grant, my idiot twin brother. Nick, the chill dude bro type. Jonas, the brainy one. Macey, the senator's daughter, the fashionista and the rich and famous. Bex, the dangerous. (Her real name is Rebecca but if you call her that you'll regret it. Seriously.) Liz, the one even smarter than Jonas, even complete with a photographic memory and a clean permanent record. Then there's my Mom, she's great but can be really over protective. Joe, my godfather slash uncle, he's dating my Aunt Abby, she's the cool one. Don't cross Joe by the way. Don't even call him Joe. It's Solomon to anyone but family. Then there's me, the chill, no attention wanted, stick to the shadows, sweat pants and no make-up girl."

The adults hopped into the car while us teens hopped into the trunk.

Zach held his hand out to help me up and I took it. He smirked and his eyes twinkle."Thanks for the info."

"No problem." I smiled at him, though his constant smirk was slightly infuriating, but hot at the same time. He was hot. Did I mention that his long, light brown curls just made you want to run your hands through them? That his clearly strong muscles just made you want him to wrap his arms around you? That his green eyes just drew you in? That the twinkle in them made you just want to smile? That his smirk made you want yell and kiss him at the same time?

Yeah. Not even that can describe how hot he is. And somehow, because of someone, (aka Macey) I ended up wedged between him and Bex in the back the truck. I sent him one last smile before turning to talk to Bex.

Though I could still feel his electrified gaze on me...
