Chapter 9- Having doubts (sorry this might be short)
I woke up late the next morning and had to rush to get to school. I pulled on my jeans, the first t-shirt I found in my closet, which turned out to be a my Hogwarts short. I pulled on my black converse and a black sweater. I skipped breakfast and ran to Bex's house. I made it just as she was backing out of the driveway.
"BEX!"I yelled over her loud engine. She saw me and unlocked the door. "Get in" I didn't hesitate to comply. She was late as well so we were speeding in order to get to class on time. We were at the parking lot with 2 minutes before the bell, she quickly parked and we ran as fast as out legs could take us. Lucky for me my class was close. I came in literally a second before the bell.
I walked quickly to my seat next to Tina Walters, she is the gossip queen of Gallagher high.
"Hi Cammie" she said as soon as say down. I pulled out my notebook and said hi back. "Hey Tina" She leaned closer and I knew what was coming. "So is it true you and Zach are dating." The while class was silent including the teacher. All eyes were on me in anticipation. This is unbelievable. I looked at her incredulously. "What?" Tina repeated her question "Are you and Zach dating?" I glanced at the teacher pleading for her to start the lesson but she just motioned for me to answer. I glared at her. "We went to a couple of dates." I mumbled hoping no one heard me. There were a lot of gasps mostly from the girls. I hid my face in my hair wishing the bell would ring.
Eventually the bell rang. I was the first one out of the class. I ran into the hallway towards math. I looked down trying to avoid the stares and looks I got from everyone when I was in the hallways, I wasn't paying attention and bumped into someone. "Cammie?" it was Macey. I looked up and saw she was concerned. "What happened" And that was all that it took for me to blurt out everything that happened. Luckily for us, we had the same class. I felt a lot better yelling someone about what happened.
Soon it was the end of the day and Zach and I were driving home together. We had a lot of fun, even though we were just talking. He walked me to my doorstep as usual and gave me a goodbye kiss. I was a little dazed after that, just like every other time we kiss.
1 month later...
One month has passed and it was now November. Zach and i are still dating in fact during the last month we went on numerous dates. Each was was always creative and left me on cloud nine. We went on a romantic stroll, the movies to watch catching fire, dinner dates and stuff like that. All of them were fun and mostly ended with us making out not that I was complaining.
Right now I was bored out of my mind in English. Tina threw a paper ball at me when the teacher wasn't looking. She was asking why Zach and I were still dating. I rolled my eyes, this would happen everyday including the looks. Eventually I learned to ignore them. "Tina we're into each other let I be" I wrote back. She smiled sheepishly at me. Now I knew something was up. What could be wrong, I was into Zach and he's into me right?
And now onto chapter 10 aka the big reveal :))
Chapter 10- The Truth comes out
There's a party tonight at one of Zach's friends house, I think it was Grant but I can't be sure. Anyway the girls and I were at Maceys house getting ready. Did I mention how big her house is? No matter how many times I go there I always end up lost.
On an another note I'm kind of suspicious about Zach. What was everyone trying to warn me about? I thought straightening my long hair. Whatever it was I was going to confront him about it tonight.
"Cammie hurry up and put your dress on! we have to be there in half an hour" Macey yelled from her walk-in closet. "Comming!" i yelled back from the bathroom. I sighed but put on my green dress. It was knee-length and flowed out towards the bottom. The dress had little black floral designs going from the neckline to the sleeves and smaller ones at the waist. I wore plain black heels and my fathers necklace, along with black earrings and a black ring Zach gave me. My makeup was simple, lip gloss and a black smokey eye. I took one last look at myself in the mirror and walked out of the room. Bex, Liz and Macey were already dressed. Bex was in a purple dressed that showed off her muscles. Liz was wearing a light pink dress that gave her an innocent look. Macey was in a black sequence dress that showed off her curves. "Ready?" I asked. They nodded and we walked down the stairs (slowly so no one could trip over their heels, which has happened before.)We used Macey's dads limo to get to the party, perks of being the senators daughter and her friends.
The limo ride was fun, we kept messing around with the driver, it was so funny. But soon enough we were at the party. You could hear the music from half a mile away.
We got out of the car and I spotted Zach immediately. He was talking to Grant and Nick. I looked at me friend silently begging them to let me go. Macey sighed but gestured for me to go. I smiled in gratitude and ran fast towards Zach, well as fast as you can run in heels. When I was a few steps behind him, I could hear his conversation.
"...Going to tell her?" I heard Grant say. This only made me want to hear more. I had a feeling deep down that this was involved with what Macey, Bex and Liz were hiding from me. I walked closer trying to hear more about this conversation. "I'm going to tell Cammie tonight." Grant laughed and punched Zach's arm playfully. "Good luck man." I froze, I had a bad feeling this wouldn't be a good night. I knew Zach, if he had something to tell me, he'll say it right away.
I walked towards Zach and Grant. "Hey guys." I kissed Zach's cheek and then smiled at Grant. He smiled back but gave a look to Zach. I looked at them questionably, even though I partly knew a bit about it. "Do I want to know?" I asked them with a raised eyebrow. They shook their heads at the same time. "...Ok then, I'm just going to go find Bex." With that said, I walked away.
It didn't take me long to find Bex, she and everyone else was in the same spot I left them. They seemed to be deep in conversation but when Macey saw me, they all stopped. I am so sick and tired of everyone keeping secrets from me, especially when they involve me. "What are you guys hiding?" I asked straight-forwardly. "It's more complicated than that." Liz sighed. I looked at Bex and Macey to give me more of an explanation. "We don't want to hurt you but Zach-" Bex stopped talking suddenly, then I felt like someone was behind me. "Zach what? Rebecca" I heard the voice sneer behind me. I didn't have to turn around to know it was Zach. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him. "Hi Zach" I say nervously. He smiles at me but glares at Bex. "Leave her alone Goode." She said coldly. Macey and Liz stood next to her, glaring at him, well Macey was, Liz was trying to get me to come to them. I looked between the two of them confused. "Cammie come here." Bex commanded still glaring at Zach. I looked at Zach confused. "Don't listen to them Gallagher girl." I was torn between them and I didn't know who to side with. This was on the hardest choice I had to make, my best friends or my boyfriend.
They stood there glaring at each other waiting for me to make a decision. "I...I...I choose... Zach?" The girls looked disappointed, and gave me sad looks. "Just remember we're always here for you." Before I could respond Zach pulled me inside. He had a tight grip on my wrist. "Zach." he ignored me as kept walking, dragging me inside. "Zach stop your hurting me." As soon as he heard me say this he let go. "Sorry Cammie." He looked sad like someone took away his puppy.
"Zach, are you ok?" I brushed away a few strands of his hair from his face. He nodded and kissed my cheek. "I'm fine, lets dance."He smiled brightly at me. Then we headed towards the dance floor (a.k.a the living room) where all the other couples were. When we were at the center, he put his hands on my waist and I around his neck. The music was blaring and the room was hot and smelled like sweat, but none of that mattered, I was with Zach and we in love. This felt like the best night ever despite my bad premonition a while ago. Just then the song ended. Zach and I stepped out, and so did everyone else. Grant came out with a microphone. Where did he get that? But before I could wonder how, he began talking.
"Heyyyy!" he said, his voice echoing across the house. "Before the party stats again,my friend Zach has something to say." I looked at his questionably but he shrugged and walked up to Grant taking the microphone. "This is for my Gallagher girl." I blushed as people started to stare at me. Out of the comer of my eye I could see Macey, Bex and Liz. I tried to smile at them but Zach chose that moment to start talking again. I turned to face him, as did the people around me. "I just wanted to tell you that.." my heart started racing, what was he going to say. Is he going to tell me he loves me? "..That our whole relationship was a joke." WHAT?!
