T(ina) POV
I guess you could say I'm observant. That's one of my skills, like Rebecca can fight, Elizabeth is a computer genius, Mick is great with disguises and how Cameron is great pavement artist. It's my skill.
I guess that's how I knew there was something wrong with Cammie. After she came back from Switzerland, it was obvious something was off. About a month later though, it was different.
She flinched whenever she came near her old friends, she no longer looked people in the eye. Once or twice, I saw her crying in class. Not openly sobbing, just the quiet trying to stop the tears from falling.
You see, I can tell these kinds of things. I am also quite good at reading body language. I'm not bragging or anything, I'm just being honest and confident in my skills.
Back to Cammie though. Slowly, day by day, she seemed to pull more into herself. On hot days she kept her sleeves down and her blazer on. She stopped wearing shorts outside of class. She no longer interacted with people.
Whenever she looked at Bex, Liz, Macey and Zach she looked so broken. I knew they were icing her out of their circle. I heard that she had stopped sleeping in her room. Then she stopped showing up to dinner. Then she stopped being seen in the halls between classes. Then finally, she stopped showing up to class.
I knew that she needed help. That much was obvious. But why Zach, right?
Because Zach loved her, really, really, loved her. He seemed down recently, since Cammie started disappearing. I knew he would listen to me, as long as it was about Cammie, I mean.
I knew he would try to help her. I knew that if anyone could, it would be him. Not just because he loves her, but because she loves him too.
