Cammie POV

The game of seduction is tricky. You have to play it just right to get the results you want. You don't want to drive the subject too far. Madame Dabney taught us one class how to use a sort of "seduction" or "flirting" with a subject to get what you want. I'm going to use that- just amped up. My roommates and I were working hard on this- it's a good thing it's Christmas break.

Here's the plan- you can never be to careful. We know that Grant and Jonas are going to give Zach a pep talk on not loosing his mind if he sees me in some "different" clothing than usual. Apparently, if Zach looses his cool, they'll disown him as a friend. It was quite funny listening to it. They were so interested in their conversation they didn't notice Bex and I just around the corner listening to them…or did they?

They're going to try to make me jealous, which will probably work, but I have to keep my cool. It's of the utmost importance. Our plan was to pay an eighth grader to hit on me around Zach, but not too close, so that he thinks it's a real scenario. Unfortunately, Bex picked the perviest kid here, Pervy Dan. Hopefully things don't go too far. The plan was set for tomorrow- before Zach's plan was going to be set into action so that he would be so distraught that he would forget about it.

~Next Morning~

Macey, Bex, and Liz dressed me up in clothes that should have been worn by sluts!

Eye shadow, mascara, tank top, and a short denim skirt. Okay- so it wasn't really slut clothes but I so was not used to it. On my way downstairs I faintly heard Bex calling Pervy Dan,

"Plan in action."

I brushed past Zach on my way to the library- the secluded corner I had spent last night in with Zach. I knew Zach was following me- he was a predictable puppy dog following his master, always willing. I walked up to the fireplace, and grabbed a book from the mantelpiece.

"Hey, Gorgeous." I heard Dan say from behind me. I shut the book with a snap and turned to face him.

"What do you want?" I emphasized, placing my right hand on my hip.

"What do you think I want?" he said, and took a couple steps towards me. I slowly started stepping away towards the wall.

"Stay away from me, we both know I could easily kill you."

"Yes, but we both know, you don't have the guts." He grabbed my arms.

"Let me GO!" I tried to pull my arms away, oh no, he held on- this was for real.

"DAN! LET GOOO!" I screamed. I tried to kick him, and he started to move his face closer to mine. "STOP!" I yelled, thrashing around violently. He spun me around so that my arms were crossed with his over my chest, and my but was against his crotch.

"Come on, Cammie. You know you want it." He purred.

"NOT from you, perv." I said, and stomped on his foot. Where was Zach? He growled and tackled me.

That's when he was lifted off of me, but, not by Zach.

Bex round-house-kicked him in the neck, and he fell over panting. I looked at her, worriedly.

"Are you alright, Cam? Zach left, he totally thought it was a set-up. Even though it was, I had no idea things would go this far. Do you want to go tell your, Mom?" I shook my head no.

"No, Bex. Let's just get back to the dorm. Please." I gave her the puppy-dog face, and she smiled at me, but it wasn't a real one. My right arm hurt, along with my leg. With one of my arms draped over her shoulder, she helped me limp out of the library and towards the stairs. Zach was standing at the bottom with a blonde girl I recognized. I forget her name, but I had seen her around in the halls. I glared at him as Bex and I ascended the stairs.

"OW! Bex, that hurts!" I whimpered as we started up the steps.

Zach frowned, yeah, pretty boy, I really am hurt. Bex laid me gently on the steps and pulled of my sock.

"Oh Cam, it's swollen, I think it might be sprained." She started cursing under her breath. Zach finally came over.

"What took you so long?" I asked, angrily, with my eyes still closed.

"What happened, did you trip over something? What's wrong with your arm?" he asked, jokingly.

I opened my eyes to glare at him. "Well, one of your fellow Blackthorne Boys decided he liked me and apparently wanted to sexually harass me!" I yelled too loud.

"BEX! That freakin' HURTS!" I yelled as she pushed on it.

"Okay, relax Cammie. Here, let's go upstairs." Zach held his hand out for Bex to stop, and in one swooping motion, I was in his arms. I groaned, he smelled really really good. Bex smiled, she knew it wasn't because of my ankle or arm. When we got to the room, I was relieved to find Macey and Liz gone. He laid me gently on my bed and kissed my forehead.

"Who did this to you?" he said through clenched teeth.

Bex told him quietly. He growled- yeah, he literally, growled. It was pretty hott. Bex patted him on the shoulder, and he left. Ha! He didn't realize Bex just put an audio comms one-way unit on him! We would be able to hear whatever he said to Pervy Dan, and his next plan for our little game…

I love Bex.

Just as he was about to leave he turned around, "Cammie, I'm really sorry I wasn't there to protect you. I feel really guilty, I saw him in there with you, and I thought it was just a ploy in our game. I'm really and truly sorry, and I'm going to make him pay. No one hurts the people I love and gets away with it." He said sincerely and left.

Bex turned to me, "He told you he loves you!" she squealed. I was speechless, Zach Goode loved me?

"Bex, turn on the comms unit- I want to hear every word." I said, quietly. She turned it on, and laid down next to me on my bed. I scooted over, and she rested the machine on her stomach. After a couple of minutes, I could hear Zach talking to Pervy Dan. I could hear Jonas and Grant were with him, and by the sounds of it, they were still in the library.

"Dude, what do expect of me? She's hott, and sexy, and…" said Pervy Dan.

"And she's mine." Said Zach. I smiled, I was his, and would always be his.

"Stay away from her." Said Grant. "And Bex." He added, I felt Bex jump in surprise, and saw a smile appear on her face.

"Yeah, and stay away from Liz too," Said a confident Jonas, "and Macey." Bex and I were looking at each other, smiling. These were our boys, standing up for us. I felt it bad now, my heart was pounding, and my palms were sweating.

It could never be denied, I was truly and irrevocably in love with Zach. I sighed.

"Hey, did you guys hear something?" asked Grant.

"Zach, what's on your shirt?" asked Jonas. I heard the loud footsteps of an escaping Pervy Dan.

"Cammie! It's not one-way!" whispered/yelled Bex.

"Oopsie-daisy." I quoted Liz.

"They tagged me!" yelled Zach. "You guys can hear me, right?" we didn't say anything.

"Alright, well then, bye!" I heard a smash, and then static- they destroyed the bug. In a matter of a minute, they would be up here in the dorm.

Bex and I exchanged nervous glances and she handed a Cosmo girl magazine, and started pretending to read a Seventeen magazine. Uh-oh. This was going to be a problem. Problem number 2 from playing the game. Hopefully it would get better from here…
