Chapter 7
Cammie POV
I heard the doorbell ring and looked outside the window to see my cousin, Jonas dragging bags out of his trunk. I squealed and ran downstairs to greet my cousin. The last time I saw him had been three years ago. I threw my arms around my cousin.
I led him to the guest room and waited until Jonas unpacked. Once he was finished, I dragged him to my room for him to help me with my homework. Even though I had been at home for the whole week, Bex still gave me the homework. We laid out my homework on the bed and sat.
"Okay Cammie. So what do you need help with?" I waved my hand around the whole page. "I'm not going to do it for you if that's what you're asking for." I put on a pouty face and he sighed. "Fine." I threw my arms around him right as the door burst open.
Zach was standing there with a hurt look on his face. Without a word, he walked out the door and slammed the door. Uh oh. Zach must have gotten the wrong idea. I muttered an apology to Jonas and raced out the door after him.
"Zach, wait up!" I screamed when I saw him walking to his house next to mine. He stopped but didn't turn around.
"What do you want? Aren't you busy with that guy in your room?" he sneered in a tone so bitter that I winced. Okay, now I was getting a little bit mad. He didn't even wait for an explanation. Besides, I hated when people used that tone on me.
"Why do you even care? You're with Katie now right? It's not like we're together or anything. You hate me and I hate you. End of story," I said and walked back into my house slamming the door on my way in.
"Cammie, is everything alright?" my mom hollered from the kitchen.
"Everything's fine," I shouted back. I heard the doorbell ring again and I shouted to my mom not to answer it. She reluctantly agreed and I headed back to my room where Jonas was helping me with (doing) my homework.
Zach POV
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Cammie hugging another guy. I couldn't believe her. First, she acts all upset when I use Plan Jealousy and a week later, she's hugging some guy. See, this is what I've learned. You should never trust girls. (AN: Ok this is Zach's opinion, not mine. I am a girl. So please don't take any offense.) I walked out to go to my house and heard Cammie chasing after me. I didn't stop because I didn't want her to see how upset I was.
"Zach, wait up!" she screamed. I stopped but I didn't turn around because of the tears that were gathering in my eyes. You can call me a crybaby or whatever but I wasn't going to let anyone see me like this.
"What do you want? Aren't you busy with that guy in your room?" I sneered at her. I heard her start breathing heavily. She was getting mad. At me.
"Why do you even care? You're with Katie now right? It's not like we're together or anything. You hate me and I hate you. End of story," she said. That stung like a thousand bee stings. Of course she hates me, I annoy her. She stormed back to her house and I stood there, stunned. Chase after her, stupid, a voice in my head commanded. I ran to her door and rang the doorbell. I heard her call to her mom not to answer the door and I slumped, defeated.
I walked over to my house and slammed the door to my room. I turned on the radio to some random station and jumped onto my bed. I slowly began to relax and almost screamed when my phone buzzed with a text. I checked it to see it was from Cammie. I stared at my phone for a while trying to figure out if I should open it or not.
I pressed "Read message".
"The guy in my room was my cousin. Maybe you would've figured that out if you had given me a chance to explain. But that's just what Zach Goode does. He assumes things and he runs and hides from things that upset him. Speaking of, how's Katie?" Ouch. That felt like a punch in the stomach.
I finally got over it like a real man and went to sleep.
Cammie POV
After Jonas finished my homework for me, he went to sleep in the guest room as I prepared myself for a nice weekend tomorrow. I wasn't mad at Zach anymore. I felt a little guilty for that angry text I sent him. I went out to my balcony and threw rocks at his window. Before you ask, I got the rocks from my balcony from when he threw rocks at my window.
After I threw the first rock, he opened up his window. His hair was slightly messed up from sleep and he looked good. Really good. No, stop Cammie, focus.
"Hey Zach. Sorry about earlier. Maybe we should stop hating each other and actually become best friends," I said. His eyes sort of lit up.
"Yeah, sure. I'm sorry, too. I should have let you explain. So best friends?" he asked. I nodded.
"Best friends." I finally went back to bed and fell asleep.
Zach POV
Best friends. I was happy that she didn't hate me anymore but I didn't want to become just her best friend. I wanted to become more than friends. I guess I could settle with that for now. My only problem was getting Katie away from me.
AN: Okay guys. Get ready for a super long AN but please bear with me. I am so so so sorry for the long no-update period so I made this one longer than my other ones for you. Hope it's good enough. Do you guys want me to explain why I haven't been updating?
If yes, then read on. If no, then skip over the next paragraph.
So I have summer school. No it's not like that. It's just a math class that I have to take so I can get ahead on my math. They assign homework. A lot of homework.
