Chapter 11- Zach turns 18- Part 1

Come on get loud loud let it out
Shout it out from the rooftops
Come on get loud 'til they shut us down.
Come on get loud loud let it out
Show me everything that you've got
Come on get loud loud I need you now
Baby let me hear it loud
(R5- Loud.)

It was the day of Zach's birthday and everyone at school was excited. It was Friday last period so everyone was buzzing to get home and get ready for the party.

I had decided to go to the party a bit early and I was going to give him his present then. I was going to give it to him at his party but then it dawned on me that he would be busy. People would be wanting to talk to him, take pictures with him and dance with him so he said it was alright for me to come early with the girls since they guys were already gonna be there.

The girls were coming over to mine tonight before the party (since I lived next to Zach it seemed like a good idea,) to get ready. They were bringing a lot of different outfits so we could choose. I didn't really have any party wear so Macey said I could borrow some of hers since she had loads.

We were meeting the guys at the party because they were helping Zach set the party up.

Finally the bell rang and everyone gathered their stuff together and ran out of the doors. I walked over to my locker and saw all the girls there already waiting for me. I walked over to them. Put my key into my lock and shoved all of my stuff in there. We were walking towards Maceys car when I heard someone shout my name.

"CAMMIE!" I turn around to find that it was Tina (the school's gossip,) shouting my name. Great what did she want know?

"What do you want Tina? We kinda have to be somewhere." I say already annoyed.

"Touchy, I was only gonna ask if you and Zach were gonna get together tonight?" She asked. It took me longer then it should to process this new information. Me and Zach? What? Did people really think that? I mean, if someone asked me if I found him hot I wouldn't say no. That would be lying. But still, that's not the point. He's my best friend. Nothing more, nothing less.

"No he's my best friend. Where the hell did you hear that from?" I ask her even more annoyed then before. If people thought that something was happening between me and Zach I didn't know what I would do at all.

"It's everywhere. Everyone says you two are either secretly dating now or are gonna get together tonight." She tells me simply as if I should know.

"Well we are not. We are just friends. That's it." I tell her bluntly.

"Ok, I was only asking that's all." Tina said walking away flipping her hair.

God was she annoying. She just likes to get under people's skins and it drives me insane. Why did she have to but into everyone's business? I don't care if her mother runs the biggest gossip magazine in the world. She did not need to know about my personal life.

"You took that personal." Bex commented.

"Well she annoyed me." I told them.

"So there is really nothing happening between you and Zach then?" Liz asked.

"No there isn't." I stated.

"But you want there to be. Don't even deny it. It's written all over your face. Only boys can't see it since they can be really dumb sometimes. Kinda like Grant and Bex." Macey said. Was she right? Did I want things to be different between me and Zach? Was I even ready for that? Did he even like me like that? It was all very confusing and I refused to think about it right now.

"Come on or we will never be ready in time for Zach's party. Since I'm giving him his present when we get to mine." I tell them walking towards Macey's car.

(Line Break- Cammie's House)

The ride to mine was funny. Macey put the radio on and R5 came on and we all squealed like little girls and sung along. They played; Loud, Crazy 4 U and Here Come's Forever. It was so fun. We were laughing the whole way to mine.

When we arrived at mine the first question was fired.

"Where's your mum Cammie?" Liz asked looking around.

"Oh she had to work away this week." I say coming up with the best lie I could.

"Oh cool." Was Liz's reply.

We ran up to my room and the girls dumped their things in my room since they were spending the night, it was easier that way and we were meeting the guys tomorrow as well since there was no school, and I grabbed Zach's card and present that was neatly wrapped (it had to be perfect, I hate messy wrapping.)

We all ran back downstairs and out the front door. I was jumping on Zach's front steps after I had knocked waiting for him to open the door. Once he had (finally) opened the door I gave him a massive hug. It caught him off guard and he really fell over but I whispered in his ear, so that only he could hear, "You better not fall Mr. Goode, that wouldn't look very good would it. You wouldn't be able to have your present then."

He managed not to fall and wrapped his hands around my waist (one hand on my waist the other at the bottom of my back, may I just say) while he moved out the way to let the others in. They all looked at him and me with a smug smile plastered on their faces. Zach didn't get why but I did. HE'S JUST A FRIEND! I think.

Once I let go I walked into his front room where everyone had seated. He followed my lead blushing slightly. Weird was all I could think of.

I handed him his card first it was just a plain card with 'Happy 18th Birthday Zach, Love From Cammie xxx' written in it. Everyone was waiting for my gift to Zach. I had told everyone that I had found it really easy and it reminded me of Zach. I handed it to him and waited for him to open it. When he did, the smile on his face was enough to tell me he liked it. I got Zach a surfer's band, it had a metal plack on it and was also made from blue string. On one side of the metal I had engraved 'Happy 18th Birthday Zach' and on the other side I had 'Love From Cammie xxx' engraved. He put it on straight away once he had seen what was engraved. Once he had fashioned it on he came over to me and gave me a huge hug which I returned with a smile on my face.

"Take it you like it?" I say smiling still.

"I love it Cammie. Thanks." He said still smiling himself. Everyone else was smiling as well at us. Like they knew something we didn't. I ignored it and decided to ask the girls later.

We girls then had to say bye and leave because we needed to get ready. I didn't really want to go and there was like 3 hours left until the party. I didn't see how it would take 3 hours to get 4 girls ready but I was about to be shown how.

(Line Break- Back at Cammie's. Getting ready for the party.)

"Guys we look HOT!" Macey tells us once we are all ready. We all have light make- up on. My hair was in loose curls so it fell down just past my shoulders. Bex's hair was straightened the same as Macey's as well. Liz's hair was tied into a side braid and it suited her perfectly. We all had different coloured dresses on but they all looked great on us I must admit.

My dress was the kind of blue that you'd find on some sort of exotic island. Sequins adorned the top of the dress that was separated from the loose tutu type skirt by a band of silver jewels.

Macey's dress was pure white. The short skirt had different layers causing it to flow nicely. There was a criss-cross effect with sequins around the waist followed by two thick sequin straps holding up the bodice.

Bex's dress was strapless and a deep silky purple. The skirt wasn't puffed out like the rest of them but flowed nicely straight down her legs. The bodice part had silver sequins – although there wasn't as many as the others and you could still see the purple underneath. There was the same material ruffled together slightly around her waist separating the skirt from the rest of the dress.

Liz's dress was pale pink – no surprise there! The skirt was basically like a ballerina tutu with pink netting. However the bodice was more fitted and made up of silky material. The very top of the dress had silver sequins on it. It was strapless and complemented Liz's personality brilliantly.

We looked hot. The boys were gonna love us. Wait what did I just say... oh god.

"Hey how come I'm wearing Zach's favourite colour? May I just ask?" I asked the guys but from the sly smiles I got in reply I wasn't going to get an answer and I guess I should have already known the answer. Oh well. These guys were annoying sometimes.

"Never mind." I told them.

We walked down my stairs in our silver heels and made our way over to Zach's place where the party had already started. We walked through the door and just stood shoulder to shoulder. The guys were doing the same. They all turned around and saw us. Their jaws dropped to the floor and it seemed like us girls had done a good job in impressing the boys.

We started to walk towards the boys. The party had only just started.
