Zach's POV

After a long run around the campus, I head straight to the dorm shower room. I accidentally (okay, not accidentally) ran into the sprinklers on my run, so now I feel all sticky. Zachary Goode is never sticky. I didn't even bother going to my room before, knowing that some idiot would have left there shampoo and soap in the showers and I left my towel on the bench last night. If somebody stole it, I'd just steal somebody else's. I'm kind of a towel stealing ninja now.

The only issue is that there is only one towel in the deserted bathroom and it looks like it's a kid towel. It has Ariel on it and it has the word's "Kiss the Girl" written in bubbles. I groan as I wrap the kid's sized towel around my torso. There is no way that I'm putting back on my running clothes.

I quickly trot down to my dorm room. I jiggle the door, realizing that it is locked, "Austin, baby let me in." I say in a seductive voice. Hey, don't judge me, I just released endorphins so I'm a little hyper. After about 5 seconds I use my seductive voice again imitating girls that come to our door at 2 o'clock in the morning, "Austin, I want you so much."

"Zach?" A girl that sounds like Cammie giggles behind me.

Shit. I turn around, "Oh hey Cammie, what are you doing here?" I open my arms to give her a hug. She looks at me awkwardly, "I'm hurt Cameron, really. It's not like you haven't hugged me in a towel before Cammie!"

She giggles again and hugs me. I love when she giggles. When she giggles I feel like things are back to how they were before and that she's still my best friend. Cammie hasn't really giggled this much around me since what happened between us. I guess I never really tried to make her laugh, I was always too wrapped up in the deeper feelings, but maybe the only way to heal the deep feelings of hatred is through little spurs of happiness that comes from making Cammie laugh.

"So what are you doing here?" I ask after the awkward silence.

"I'm here to work on a project with Austin. And some other guys."

"Bad idea Cammie, your going to have to do all the work." They were all really lazy.

She groans, "That's what Connor told me! And my professor. And my roommate."

"Where is Austin by the way?" I shift my towel.

"I don't know! He told me he was going to staples to get supplies but that was 3 hours ago."

"Want to go do something?"

"Zach, you're only in a towel..."

Just my luck. "We could just chill out here." I sit down against the door, "So how are you Cammie?"

"Good...except for the fact that I have the worst group for my first project in college."

I laugh. We sit in silence. "Would you rather eat 30 pounds of cheese or 15 pounds of pickles dipped in tabasco sauce?"

Cammie gives me a weird look.

"What? I'm hungry!" And for some reason that combination sounds delicious.

"I'd go for the cheese."

I nod. Cammie hates spicy food. And pickles. "I'd go for the pickles."

"That's disgusting." Cammie wrinkles her nose, "Would you rather get trapped on an elevator for 13 hours with no cell phone or get stranded on a deserted island for a week."

Images of kickin back on the island enter my head, "Island."

"Elevator."

"But that's boring!"

"You'd die on an island."

"I'm a man of the land. I wouldn't die!"

"Really? So if I dropped you off on a deserted island with NO FOOD, you'd be able to survive?"

"Shut up." I fake pout, "You ruined my day dream."

"It's called reality Zach."

"God," I look at my cellphone, "It's already been an hour. I'm cold. Cuddle with me Cammie?"

"Ew no!"

I scoot closer to her. She darts up. "I will blow my rape whistle!"

I burst out laughing, "You have a rape whistle?"

"Yeah! God where is Austin?" Cammie returns to her unfriendly ways.

"Have you called him?" I ask.

"Yeah, his phones off."

"What about the other guys?"

"I think there names were Brad and Riley."

I chuckle thinking about how wasted they were getting last night, "Good luck with that."

We sit in silence for another ten minutes.

"I miss you Zach," Cammie says quietly.

"I'm right here Cammie." I know exactly what she means.

"It's not the same though."

Her words make me frustrated, "Things aren't the same because you won't let them be. I've been working my ass off trying to prove to you that I'm a good friend but all you do is pull away. If you miss me so freaking much why don't you actually try in this? Because I am actually getting a little sick of being turned down from a girl who is supposed to be my best friend everytime I see her."

Cammie mouth drops, "Is that really-"

"Woah, what'd I walk in on Princess Ariel?" Austin says as he approaches.

"Just let me in to get some clothes." I just want to get out of here. I was so close with making a break through with Cammie, but then I had that outburst. I quickly change, "I'm going out. Later."

I close the door to our dorm as I walk out, hoping that I didn't close the door on Cammie and my friendship.

Corny last sentence I know... This actually took me three hours to write. I just couldn't focus. But anyways I'd really appreciate some reviews! Boy oh Boy...what I would give to have Zachary Goode sitting in my dorm hall with only a towel.
