A/N Sorry for the late updates, but I've been busy with school. I know, lame excuse, but it's true. And a general comment some people pointed out was that I shouldn't use modern words. I'll try, but it is a bit hard. I'll do the words I know, but you'll have to excuse the other ones. Thanks to: GoodetoKnow, Nisa12, Who'sThatChick, and for reviewing.
By the way, , Zach told them he was a Goodeman, yes. Cammie, though, assumed that it was a relative.
Thank you to all who read, and finally….. DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GG BOOKS OR CHARACTERS; only plot and Isaac and Carolina.
Now I present Chapter 4!
Colonial Differences
Recap:
Cammie POV
I walked into the cemetery and immediately went to my father's tomb. I knelt and cried as I remember all the good times I had with my father before he passed away. I saw him singing to me as I went to sleep. I saw us laughing at my mom's terrible cooking. I saw us dancing at a local ball. I saw him telling me he loved me right before he left us. I opened my eyes when I felt a presence in front of me and saw a beautiful red rose, like the ones dad had always brought me and mom. I took it and placed it on the tombstone and cried some more into the strong arms that had taken me in, that reminded me of my dad and put my arms around their neck. After a while Carolina whispered we had o get going and I looked up to see Zach holding me. He got a weird look on his face that showed a mix of shock and despair. He asked what today's date was and, as if in a Trance he went to another tombstone and he just knelt there. I walked over and read the name Samantha Jean Goode. It must have been a relative because he was crying, but didn't seem to notice. I hugged him and brushed away his tears, like he had done to me not moments before.
Present time:
After Zach stopped crying, he got up and went to talk to Carolina.
Zach POV
I walked over to Carolina and whispered, "I think we should tell them about me. Please, I need to tell them before the lie gets out of hand."
"Okay," she replied. "If that's what you want. Isaac, Cammie, let's go gather everyone else."
Cammie looked confused, as did Isaac, but Carolina went to him and whispered to him what we were doing. We all started walking to the Irish Rock. Carolina and Isaac went inside to get everyone, leaving Cammie and me outside, waiting for them.
"Who was she?" Cammie asked, breaking the silence.
"Who?"
"The girl you were crying for in the cemetery."
"Oh. Um, I would rather not talk about it," I said, tearing up a little.
"My dad," Cammie said.
"What about him?"
"He was who I was mourning over just now," she whispered.
"I'd say I was sorry, but I know you don't want to hear it. I know I didn't like it," I said.
She chuckled at that and said, "Yeah, I know what you mean. I didn't like people coming up to me to say they were sorry. I don't know, but I felt like why should they be sorry. He is in a better place now and I can't do anything about it but remember him and talk to him in my mind."
At that moment, all our friends came out and said, "Hello, Cammie and Zach." And we replied the same way. We all walked to Carolina's house and stayed in her backyard so her parents would not notice us there. We sat in a circle and we were silent.
"So, why are we here?" Grant asked, not being able to take the silence any more.
I looked over at Carolina who was next to me and she nudged my arm in encouragement.
"Guys, I have not been completely honest with you," I started.
"What do you mean?" Jonas asked me.
"I am not who you think I am," I continued.
"Get to the point, Zach!" Macey yelled.
"Myrealnameis-"
"Slow down," Carolina and Isaac said. Only Cammie was silent through this.
"I am Zachary Jared Goode," I said, not looking anyone in the eyes.
Macey, Jonas, and Grant start laughing.
"Yeah, right!" Jonas replied laughing.
"He's serious," Carolina says. That shut them right up. "Zach, go change."
I do as she says then come back out.
"No way is that possible," Macey says in awe.
"Sir Zachary," Jonas stumbles kneeling. Everyone follows his lead except for Cammie, Isaac, and Carolina. Instead Cammie gets up and slaps me!
"You liar!" she yells, running home.
"Sir, please forgive her. She's upset and she gets very upset when people lie to her," Grant says quietly.
"Don't worry. I deserved it."
Carolina POV
I knew she would react this way. I should have warned him, but I didn't find the time to. Cammie was unique. She despised liars, and for Zach to get her to forgive him would take a lot and a lot of help from Isaac and me. I get up and tell Isaac, "Take him back. Make sure he doesn't come for a week. It will be better that way. She's going to come tonight, se always does when she gets hurt, and you know that."
"We'll leave right now," he replies loudly.
"Thank you," I say, then, as a last minute thought, I peck his cheek, and then walk away as they leave with Blackjack.
Cammie POV
He lied to us. He said his name was Zach Goodeman. He should have told us his real name the first time. I hate liars, especially after what happened with Josh. After that, well it will take Zach a long time to be on my good side.
I run home, straight up to my room and stay there all night, only coming down for dinner.
Zach POV
I knew I should have told them, but I didn't, but better now than never. I get home, put Blackjack in the stables, and go to my room. I don't want to talk, but Isaac comes in anyway.
"Zach, why did you lie to them in the first place?"
"I didn't want them to know who I really was. I wanted to be treated like a regular commoner. I feel terrible and I know I did the wrong thing when Cammie slapped me. I have to get on her good side. I sac, I think I may like her."
"I know what you mean, Zach, but it will be hard," Isaac admits sheepishly.
"Well maybe you could help seeing as you're so good with the ladies. I saw Carolina kiss your cheek. So, "I tease, "Are you going to court her any time soon?"
"I don't know and back to our topic of discussion, what are you going to do to get her back?"
"I have an idea,' I say a plan forming in my head. "So, when does Cammie sing again?"
A/N What is his plan? You'll have to read to find out. Sorry if you think it is short, but I have a small writer's block. By the way, I wrote the sad parts when I was thinking of my Tia Mela. She died about almost a year ago and well I wanted to get the part about not wanting sorry's because no one should be sorry; she's with God now and that is way better than being here. So, please review and I hope you all liked it! I'll try to update soon~
Anyways, bye!
