Chapter 7

Cameron Morgan sighed as she reached the library. She went all the way to the back and sat at the sofa located there. She took out her iPod from her right jean pocket and listened to music, then opened the book that she was holding, and began to read from the page that she stopped.

It was dinner time, and Cammie wanted to have some time alone to herself and she did not want to be hounded by Tina Walters with questions about Josh because it was still a sore subject for her.

She would have gone to one of her hiding places, but everything was blocked by either bricks, or a huge stone.

Cammie suspected that her mother put those, so that she would not be able to sneak out of Gallagher anymore after confessing to her about Josh the previous night.

Suddenly, Cammie sensed someone coming inside the library. She abruptly stood up and hid behind a curtain; it was the only hiding place she could find at such a short notice.

"Gallagher girl, I know you're here. I'm not stupid."

Cammie rolled her eyes. Her theory was proven correct; Zach was always there to disturb her whenever she wanted to be alone.

She emerged out of the curtain and walked to where Zach was. She waved at him and returned to the sofa she was sitting on before.

"Why aren't you eating with the rest of us?" Zach asked, curiously and with concern.

"I'm not hungry," she lied smoothly. All of a sudden, a flashback of her slamming the door on Zach's face appeared on her mind.

"Oh yeah, Zach?"

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry about last night. About slamming the door on your face. I was just taken aback," she said sheepishly, her cheeks bright crimson.

Zach smirked and replied, "It's alright, Gallagher girl. No worries."

Cammie sighed in relief and continued reading her book. Her stomach growled.

Zach arched his eyebrows at Cammie and asked, "I thought you weren't hungry, Gallagher girl?"

Cammie pursed her lips and shrugged.

"Here," Zach said, throwing a bunch of chocolate bars on her lap. Cammie looked at him gratefully and hungrily opened a Kit Kat bar.

Zach chuckled and sat down on the sofa next to her. He watched her scarf down the ten chocolate bars he gave her, amused at how fast she could eat everything in two minutes and twenty-seven seconds.

When Cammie threw the discarded chocolate bar wrappers and sat down next to Zach, he asked, while absentmindedly brushing away a strand of brown hair on her forehead, "So Gallagher girl, why are you really here?"

"I guess I just wanted to be alone," she answered and shrugged her shoulders at the same time.

"What's your favorite movie, Zach?" Cammie asked, wanting to change the subject.

"Twilight," he replied. Cammie's eyes widened and her mouth formed an O.

Seeing the look on Cammie's face, Zach laughed hard. The hardest he has ever laughed before.

His eyes were full of tears from laughing when he finally recovered. "Kidding, Gallagher girl. I was just kidding."

Cammie laughed and rolled her eyes. "Seriously, what's your favorite movie?"

"James Bond? I don't know. I have a lot of favorite movies and one of them is James Bond. But honestly, I don't think he's as good as me," he said cockily. "What's your favorite movie?"

"Um, I guess I also have a lot of favorite movies, but my most favorite one is Easy A," Cammie answered quietly. She remembered that she watched this movie with Josh at the local cinema. A wave of sadness engulfed her and she frowned.

Noticing Cammie's change of mood, Zach put his arms around Cammie's shoulder and whispered, "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just remembered that Josh and I watched that movie together."

"Forget about Jimmy. He's an asshole for letting someone like you go. You deserve so much better. You deserve someone who can protect you, not some weak civilian who doesn't even know how to throw a punch."

Cammie smiled and gazed at Zach. His words cheered her up. He was right, she should just forget about Josh.

Zach smirked at her and stood up. "Well, Gallagher girl, I need to go. I don't want my roommates to think I disappeared or something." He waved goodbye at her and headed to his dorm room.

Cammie grinned at Zach's retreating back. She liked the sweet side of him. She hoped that he was always like that, but knew it was too much to ask for.
