A/N- HI! I'M REALLY EXCITED TO WRITE THIS CHAPTER AND I REALLY HOPE YOU ENJOY READING IT!
DISCLIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE GALLAGHER CHARACTERS OR THE BOOKS BECAUSE I AM NOT ALLY CARTER. I DO OWN THE PLOT OF THIS STORY MAX AND ZACH'S GROUP OF FRIENDS.
Zach's POV
I saw her approach the vending machine and I felt like my breath caught in my throat, I mean if I was a girl that's what would have happened... Her dishwater blond hair was down around her face, she wore an expression of worry, but it looked cute. She had little creases between her eyebrows and her nose was scrunched up slightly. I must have been staring more openly than I thought because the guys noticed me and started laughing. I tore my eyes away from the small blonde
"What?" I asked innocently. 'What?' they mocked in a high pitch voices and I rolled my eyes.
"Zach's got googly eyes for Cameron Morgan." They teased. I tested the name out
"Cameron Morgan." and then nodded in approval as the name rolled off my tongue easily.
"Well lover boy, afraid she is off the market." This time I laughed, no one was off the market to Zach Goode. I could get any girl I wanted they would line up and fall at my feet I had already had five girls ask to either, date me, kiss me or to come over to their house this weekend. The boys looked at each other raising their eyebrows.
"I bet she would choose me over whoever her boyfriend is any day." I didn't doubt myself, but I wouldn't admit how much I would die if she didn't. A tiny voice in the back of my mind said I think I'm in love. I risked a quick glance back in her direction to see if she was still there
"Well go on then. We want to see you try to get Cammie to kiss you." I smirked at the challenge... that was an easy one
"Fine." I turned away from them and started heading over to Cammie. I tried not to let my mind wonder to what I would do if she did refuse. She turned around and looked from my friends before her eyes settled on me, they were a grey blue but as I got closer they turned more crystal blue. She seemed entranced.
I know I feel that way too.
When I reached her she looked up at me.
Stay calm Goode.
I said what any girl loves to hear,
"Hey beautiful" I leaned up against the vending machine, blocking her in. I saw her blush, surely though this wasn't the first time she had been called that, the guys had acted like they she was way out of anyone's league, although innocence is really attractive in a girl, maybe that's why she seemed different even from afar.
"Can I help you?" she asked. Her large eyes looked up into mine and my heart skipped a beat. Her cheeks were still a little pink, I couldn't tell if she was wearing blush or if it was left over embarrassment.
"Marry me?" but that's not what I said even though that may have been what originally popped into my mind. Instead I responded,
"Um, well my buddies over there don't think I can get you to kiss me." I jerked my head in the direction of my friends. She raised her eyebrows. It was so CUTE. She seemed a bit angry at my forwardness, but I continued
"Do you think you could prove them wrong?" I tried not to sound like a jerk. It was surprising that she wasn't wrapped around my finger yet
"Sorry, I have a boyfriend." She went to turn, but I continued. I knew that she had a boyfriend because Luke had told me, but I wasn't going to lose my nerve soon and I didn't want to go back to the boys without a kiss, not after I had seemed so confident.
"Well, I won't tell. I promise they won't either." I said as innocently as I could.
"What's the matter Zach?! Can't get Cammie to kiss you?!" shouted Luke who was shaping up to be my best friend, well he had been at least, I wasn't sure anymore since that seemed to make Cammie's little face turn red with anger.
You're not helping me guys
I thought as I tried to ignore them all as they continued to laugh.
"Not in your dreams." She spat at me and I tried to shake off the hurt by putting my hands up to cover my face. I didn't want her to see me go red, no one saw Zachary Goode blush. Not even Zachary Goode! I decided that I would just play along with the others and the stupid joke they had turned this into.
No, you did that to yourself
"Sorry," I said to her, then turned to Luke and the others. "You were right. She is too shy!" they all started laughing and I forced myself to as well. When I saw her face again she was filled with rage and I regretted my decision to be cruel, it wasn't really fair although 'fare' never stopped me before.
"Really?" said Cammie angrily.
"Well, I tried to prove them wrong, but you just wouldn't-" I was stunned as she grabbed my shirt and pulled me down to her. I didn't have any time to think before I felt her lips press against mine hard. They were soft and sweet. I was about to relax into it when she pulled away. I was totally shocked that I had managed to get her to kiss me like that; I couldn't help, but grin.
That's right pull yourself together
"Gotcha." I said acting like it had been my plan all along, before turning around self-contentedly.
"See you later Gallagher Girl."
When I reached my friends again, unlike me they hadn't bothered to try and hid their shock.
"Oh my God." said Luke. He had a mixed an expression on his face, annoyance, envy and respect all mixed together.
"Cammie just kissed you." Mathew muttered under his breath and we all looked at him.
"Yeah, she did." I said in awe, the kiss till lingering on my lips. All were back on me again,
"Who is she dating anyway?" I asked trying to make it sound casual.
"Max, Max Townsend." Shawn said looking from and back to the place where Cammie had kissed me. My blood ran cold, this had to be some kind of sick joke that life was playing on me.
