Chapter 10: Bowling and the Bet

Cammie POV

I hadn't realized before that Zach had never seen me dressed up. On our date to the carnival, I was wearing all black, and before I had on my uniform. Neither of those are in any way figure flattering. I'd obviously surprised him, but I didn't think I looked that different. Okay, so this shirt shows off my boobs while my uniform makes it look like I have none, but at the same time, they still aren't that big. Or maybe it's the makeup. I may never know, because he got himself under control and managed to shut his mouth.

"Wow Cammie" he stammered "you look amazing."His eyes were still a little wide, and that made my inner self do a happy dance entirely inappropriate to do in front of people. No need to embarrass myself.

"Thanks, I try" I said, teasing, and he grinned and held out a hand.

"Your carriage awaits" he bowed and then took my hand, all but dragging me outside. These wedges may look cute, but they make it hard to walk on grass.

I turned on the radio in his car and heard his voice coming from the speakers. I sat up straight, looking at him with wide eyes.

"What?" he said, looking at me and blushing.

I smiled "I've never heard your music before. OOOO! Sing along!"

He just kept blushing "Really?"

"Yes! It would be like double Zach music! I'd be like the only person ever to hear it! PLEASE!"

He just laughed, then started softly singing along with the song. His voice was deep and soft, and really nice. It was the first time I ever really connected my Zach with rock star Zach. It made me think of uncomfortable thoughts.

I interrupted him mid-song "When do you have another concert?"

He looked at me from the corner of his eye "In two weeks we are in New York City"

"Oh" that was soon. I decided to save any more questions, I didn't want to get into the deep stuff and then have tension during bowling. "Keep singing" I scolded, and smiled when he hid his grin and sang again.

Soon we were at the bowling alley, a little run down place with really dim lights. We went inside and I texted Bex, Liz, and Macey to let them know we were here. We went up to the guy at the counter who was about our age. We got our shoes and set up in lane 8. Zach was muttering to himself and frowning.

"What's up?" I smiled, he was so cute when he was talking to himself.

He just frowned at me "He was flirting with you when you were obviously with me." He said.

I just laughed "No he was not, he was just selling us shoes!"

"He talked the entire time to you, and you really don't see it?"

"No, you're being ridiculous." Guys didn't notice me, I was plain. Not beautiful, not ugly, just somewhere in between.

He just shot me a look and set up the scoreboard. Right then three guys came over, one was huge, the other a little skinnier with glasses, and the third somewhere in between the two. All of them were ridiculously hot, just like Zach.

"God is there some hot factor in the water where you're from?" I muttered to Zach, who shot me a smirk.

"Hey guys" he said "this is Cammie. Cammie this is Grant, Jonas, and Preston."

They all smiled at me. Then Grant, the huge one, took my hand, but instead of shaking it, he leaned over and kissed it. "A pleasure to meet you Cammie. So, now that you've seen me, are you ready to dump this idiot and run off with me instead?"

I just grinned at him while Zach muttered something about "never getting laid again", mixed with "Grant."

"I don't know yet Grant, I might need some more persuasion, Zach is pretty great." I said

Grant started to speak again when Zach broke in between us, pulling my hand out of Grant's and putting his arm around my waist.

"Alright, alright she gets it, now back up dude." I smiled at his possessive tone, it shouldn't make me happy, but it does.

Then Preston came up and just shook my hand. "I apologize for him, he just learned to walk upright last year" he said, smiling.

After that I was passed to Jonas, who also shook my hand and smiled "Nice to meet you, good job handling him, I've never seen him rejected so easily."

Grant spoke up "I was not rejected!"

"Yes you were" said Zach, glaring at him.

Right then I heard the very British voice of Bex break in, "Wait, who got rejected? Damn, I missed it!"

I turned around and smiled. "Hey guys! This is Zach, Jonas, Preston, and Grant, who got rejected by yours truly. Guys, this is Bex, Macey, and Liz."

Macey and Liz smiled and waved but Bex started laughing. "You got rejected?" she asked Grant "and I missed it? Cam you know you're supposed to wait to reject anyone until I'm around to laugh at them." Everyone was laughing except for Grant, who looked a little shocked. He was staring at Bex like he'd never seen anyone like her. They would be so perfect!

Eventually we all settled down and got down to bowling. It was so much fun. Zach and his friends were hilarious. Bex and Grant were so competitive and they were trash talking and ridiculously good at bowling. The rest of us were sitting in a group talking around the controls. Liz looked a little nervous around Jonas, but when she reverted to her panic action and blurted out a little fact about the inventor of bowling, he looked amazed, and then they veered off into a conversation about the physics of bowling. Well there goes Liz. We'll never get her back from physics.

Zach leaned over to whisper in my ear "I've never seen anyone able to keep up with him when he goes off like that."

I turned my head to whisper back "Ditto over here, usually the guy says some form of 'Ummm' and backs away slowly."

He grins "Yea Jonas has had to learn to hide his inner geek, it doesn't really fit the rock star image."

"Yea I can see that, Liz is pretty good at blending but whenever she gets nervous, especially around new people, she just tends to blurt the most relevant fact whirring through her mind. The fact usually happens to be about 10 times over the head of the person hearing said fact. Like the inventor of bowling."

"Yea one time Jonas asked me if I knew that in Greece blond hair was associated with prostitution. I didn't by the way." He chuckled, "we all like him anyways, and I'm a lot smarter since he became my friend."

"That's the truth. The funniest part is when she repeats a fact so we actually know the answer and she just looks so shocked and then remembers that she told us before and we did not magically become smarter through osmosis. Which I so wish was possible because I would be genius level by now" smiling at the memories of Liz's quirks.

I continued "I mean we all have our quirks. Liz is wicked smart, Macey loves to dress everyone up like dolls, and Bex…"

Right then Bex broke in, "I am totally kicking your ass!"

I look up to see her pointing in Grant's face.

He smirked at her. Damn what is it about these boys and their cocky smirking. Zach does it better though.

"I bet you I can beat you." Grant said, goading the beast.

Bex narrowed her eyes. "No way! What's the bet?"

Grant looked thoughtful, then his face morphed into mischievous. He pointed at the guy who sold us our shoes, "The bet is to go make out with that guy for at least 30 seconds."

"Fine" Bex said, "but I'm not losing."

With that she grabbed her ball and rolled it, hitting a strike, again. Grant's smirk wavered a little, but to his credit he brought it back up before she turned around. He went next, and missed a strike by one pin, making Bex's grin wider. In the end he fought bravely, but Bex was just too good. He lost gracefully-ish, which I respect because Bex is not a good winner.

"HA! SUCK IT LOSER!" she said, doing her happy dance.

"Wait" Jonas cut in "you never set a bet for him. What does he have to do?"

Bex just smiled evilly, "The bet's the same, we didn't differentiate."
