Chapter 10

"Hey," I heard a familiar voice say. "Hey! Cammie, wake up!" the voice screamed.

"Mmm, what do you want Bex," I mumbled. "There isn't any school today, remember?"

"That's not what this is about. Geez Cammie, do you think that I would be up this early on a Saturday if something weren't going on?"

I shot up. "What is it? Did something happen at Gallagher? Is everyone alright?" I gasped as something suddenly occurred to me. "What about my mom, Bex?"

"Relax, Cammie," Liz soothed me. Apparently something was going on, just not something life threatening. "It's not anything like that, but it is very, very important." She had this look on her face so i knew that it was serious.

"Okay Liz, what is it?" I asked with a serious tone.

She sighed and answered, " We need to find you a perfect outfit for tonight."

What!!! I internally screamed. That was the very important thing that she woke me up at 8:23 for? I chuckled as i told her, " Ohh man, you guys are sooo melodramatic." I pulled the satin cover back on and punched my pillow gently.

Just as I was drifting back to Zach, Bex pulled me up and shook me.

"Cammie, do you not understand how important this could be?" Liz basically screamed, trying to make me understand. " This is the first time you and Zach are going out when there is no problem whatsoever." Really? Do we really fight all the time?

I sighed, "Ok, I get it, but-" I just realized something. " Wait, what are Zach and I doing tonight and how do you guys know about it when I clearly don't?"

"Cammie, did you really think that we would just wait for Zach to ask you out?" Bex asked.

"We've been planning this for a couple of days now," Liz added.

I asked, semi-angrily, "And you felt no need to let me in on this little plan of yours?"

"Well now if we did that, then how would you and Zach work out your issues yourselves?" they both asked at the same time, wearing that same annoying smile.

"Well you're lucky that Zach and I are really good right now," I replied, not knowing what else to say.

"Okay, so is she onboard?" a voice came from the doorway. I looked at the direction from which the voice was coming to find Macey standing there, makeup bag in hand.

I sighed, bracing myself and answered, "Yup."

All three of my sisters said, "Good," at the same time. Whoa, creepy I thought.

Before they could strip me of my PJ's, I held up my hand and said, "I can handle this." I started to strip off my pants and button up top, letting the girls work their magic. They only clothed me variously, trying to find something that would make Zach's eyes bug out when he saw me.

"Makeup?" I questioned.

Macey told me, "Not now. First, we have to decide on your outfit, and then we'll work on makeup."

Nodding my head, I replied, "Oh."

Macey kept talking to me, trying to keep me awake probably. "I already know the perfect evening look, so we aren't going to have to worry about your makeup for your date later tonight, but the daytime look I'm going to have to work on." Then she started to mumble to herself, "It has to coordinate with her eyes, but then it also has to coordinate with her clothes. And we can't forget skin tone, now can we?" I made a prediction just then. All of the world's females will go crazy someday, worrying about their appearance.

After trying on multiple tank tops, mini's, and flats, we finally found something that worked.

"Voila!" Macey shouted. Soon, Bex and Liz reentered the room, after scavenging the suite for bug-infested accessories.

"Bellissima(dont think i spelled that right. sry)!" Bex said, blowing kisses to me. Liz just stood there, silent, speechless.

I looked in the mirror and said in disbelief, "Macey, you never cease to amaze me."

Macey was filing her nails and answered, "I know. I'm incredible."

Bex, suddenly impatient, asked, "So can we go now or what? Grant just texted me, telling me to meet him and the guys at the Town Square. And you know he's not one to be patient."

"Ohhh, so that's why I'm all dressed up right now." I felt so foolish, not wondering why Macey was spending so much time getting me ready for right now instead of worrying about what I'm going to do tonight.

Bex's eyes hardened when she heard me come to this realization. "You aren't going to be difficult now, are you? Because, Cammie I will drag you down there if you don't-"

"Relax, Bex. Why would I not want to go?" I sighed as I thought to myself, Zach will be there.

She looked befuddled (such a cool word!) as she answered, "Well, usually you're sort of against this sort of thing."

I was feeling unusually happy today, so, smiling, I replied, " Well today is different."

She returned the smile and said, "Then what are we waiting for? To the Town Square!" She threw her arm in front of her, as if she were a Roman general.

"Huzzah!" we all screamed as we ran out of our hotel room and into the lobby.

"Shhh!" the maid hushed us as soon as we entered the hall. "People are still asleep!" she whisper-shouted.

"Sorry," we whispered back, shoving each other into the elevator. We burst into a fit of giggles as soon as the elevator doors closed. We basically sprinted the entire way to Roseville, but slowed down when the boys came into sight. We each questioned each other on how we looked, if our hair was messed up, you know, the usual. We were testing a new formula Liz made, which was supposed to keep your hair, makeup and clothes perfect, no matter what you did. I liked to refer to it as "The Bubble of Perfection" (clever, I know), since it was basically a giant bubble that kept you looking perfect.

"It worked, Liz!" I cried.

"You are a genius!" Bex shouted, giving Liz a high five.

As she slapped Bex's palm she said, "Duh." She looked calm but I knew that her insides were jumping up and down.

Bex started to pull on my arm, begging, "Come on, guys. Let's go!"

"Uh-uh-uh," Macey sang. "We don't want to look too desperate, do we?"

I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one that felt like slapping their forehead and saying, "Of course," at the moment. I sighed as I told Macey, "You should totally write a book on this stuff. It'd sell and make millions! Not that you need it of course." I added. So with that, we all strode slowly towards the guys, slightly shaking our hips with each step. When we finally reached the boys, Grant was the first to speak.

"Took you long enough."

Bex sighed and said, "I tried telling them," shaking her head.

Grant chuckled as he said, "Obviously you didn't try very hard. If you did, you'd all be here 2 seconds after I sent the text."

She punched him in the gut gently( well, as gentle as Bex can get) and said, "Shut up." After their little exchange, we all began to pair up; Bex and Grant, Liz and Jonas, Me and Zach. Macey decided to use this free time to "shop", but I knew she was using that as an excuse to go beat some sorry kid's butt.

As soon as the others had left, I turned to Zach, only to find his face just inches away from mine. "Hey," he whispered.

"Hey," I tried to whisper back, but it was so soft that I could barely here myself.

He smiled as he bent down to kiss me, not even pulling away when he began to ask me questions. "So how was your morning, Gallagher Girl?" he whispered softly against my lips. I couldn't find it in me to answer, so Zach just nodded slightly and said, "I'll take that as a ' Great Zach, how about yours?'"

I chuckled shakily as I said, "Great Zach, how about yours?"

He smiled slightly and said, "It was okay. It would have been better if you were there though." As I heard a chorus of Awww!'s, I gasped, realizing that I had completely forgetting the bug that was in my pin. I nudged Zach, and when he looked at me, I put my finger to my lips. I took out the pin, and dropped it in Zach's hand. I decided that he could do whatever he wanted with it. He smiled, and with his index finger and thumb, crushed the tiny bug. He laughed softly and said, " You have very nosy friends, you know that?", pulling his face back to mine.

I giggled and said, "They're just trying to help, in case you screw up again."

He kissed me softly and said, "That hurts, Gallagher Girl. I'm not always the one that messes up."

I was left in such a state from that one kiss that I answered dizzily, "Nevertheless, they've got my back."

"Mmm, it's good to have friends like that," he said, as his mouth slid down my neck.

"Mhmm," was all I could say. I was afraid that if I opened my mouth at this point, the only thing that would escape my mouth would be a moan.

"So," he whispered, sliding his mouth back up to my cheek, " What do you want to do today," he whispered in my ear. All I really wanted to do was sit there and kiss Zach for the rest of the afternoon, but I could hardly say that. Well, I could, but I wanted him to. When I didn't answer, he suggested, "We could go to the gazebo again." I began to reminisce at the memory, and then Zach added, "I hope we don't get interrupted again."

"Me too," I whispered.

"C'mon," he said as he took my hand and pulled me toward the direction of the gazebo. "I'll race ya."

I laughed as I said, "You're on." We both ran as fast as we could to the gazebo, talking to each other a bit.

"So, how are you doing?" What? That was sort of random.

I laughed as I answered, "Um, I'm good. You?"

"Oh, you know, just barely able to stop myself from going over there and kissing you." I looked at him with wide eyes, and he came towards me, still jogging. "It's pure torture, really," he whispered. I could feel his lips on my cheek, slowly going up and down. I felt myself succumbing to him and his irresistible charms. He was aware of this, teasing me. Just as I turned my head to meet his lips, Zach shot off.

"Hey!" I gasped, part in the fact that he cheated, and part in how he had led me on. "Cheater!" I yelled as I increased my speed as well. I could hear him laughing as I gained on him.

"Mad, Gallagher Girl?" he taunted. Not for the reasons you think I thought to myself. "You know, that's not good for your health. You'll get wrinkles from frowning so much."

I didn't answer. All I was focusing on was getting ahead of him, and as karma has it, I did. Unlike Zach though, I didn't slow myself down by teasing him. When my palm slapped the pillar of smooth wood, I allowed myself to taunt him.

"Ha!" I said as he neared the gazebo. "Even with cheating, you still lost." He looked at me in sheer shock, anger framing his features. I smirked as I asked, "Mad, Blackthorne Boy? You know, that's not good for your health. You'll get wrinkles from frowning so much." It was so fun using someone's words against them.

"Not mad really, because now you get your prize," he replied, giving me a sense of deja vu. I smiled at the memory as I tilted my head to the right and raised it slightly. I didn't need to raise it though, because soon Zach was kissing me so fiercely that I stumbled backwards, and onto the floor of the gazebo. I lost track of the time, but it never felt like we had enough time.

Zach sighed, "I gotta go. I'll see you tonight," he said, giving me a quick kiss good-bye. Aw man! How did he know about Bex's and Liz's little plan when I didn't? Oh wait, spy. He lifted himself off of me and gave me his hand; I graciously took it (that was for you, Madame Dabney).

"Bye," I said, clutching him closer and kissing him.

He chuckled as he tried to break my grasp. " You know, you kind of have to let me go now, " he said on my lips.

"Mmm," I protested. "I don't want to."

"I know," he sighed. "Believe me, Cammie, I know." I finally loosened my hold on him enough for him to escape. He smiled as he reminded me, "I love you."

"I love you, too, Zach," I replied, also smiling. He gave me one final kiss before he left, making it last until I saw him again later tonight.

I suddenly saw a figure emerge from the shade.
