Chapter 12

I ran to my room and went through a drawer of my things, and found my Ipod. I checked to see if it was charged and it was. I put it in the pocket of my skirt and still had the headphones out to put them in my ears. I pulled on Zach's sweater because it is big on me, my sweaters aren't. I put the hood up and jogged my way to class. I got there and noticed Zach sitting where he sat yesterday with one open seat next to him. Just great, I put my headphones in my ears and hit play. It started playing "Tell Me Why" by Taylor Swift. I pulled the hood down more and went to the open seat.

"Hey." Zach said. I turned up my music and went looking through the songs on my Ipod. "What are you listening to?" Zach asked. Couldn't he take a hint at all. Macey said don't do anything so I won't but he is so freaking annoying. "OK It is either 1.) You are ignoring me or 2.) Your music is too loud." Zach said smirking. I sooo wanted to whack that smirk off his face. Macey did allow me to say one thing though but I am not going to say it over and over again after everything he says. So when class started I was happy, but not all that happy I had to turn off my Ipod and pull down my hood. Ugh! I tuned out the teacher and started doodling in my notebook when a piece of paper landed on it in front of me. I looked up and at Zach. He pointed to the paper then me. He could of just said so the teacher was busy talking on the phone. I was afraid to open it and see whats inside. Macey never said that I couldn't pass notes so I did. I opened it and here is what it said-

-Gallagher Girl your ignoring me on purpose. (well Duh.)Tell me what is wrong because you won't talk to me, write back. -Zach. I sighed. Should I write back, I don't see what it would hurt it is not like I am going to tell him anyway. I grabbed my pencil and wrote-

-Zach I am not ignoring you honestly my music was up too loud.- Cammie.I closed it and slid it to Zach. He opened it and I saw him reading it. The two things I saw that passed through his face was anger and amusement. Jonas is right there are weird emotion combinations with Zach. He wrote something down and gave it back.

-Liar. Don't lie to me Cameron I know when you are lieing even through a note. What did I do, was it beause of our argument in first period? I see you still have my sweater on. ; ) - Zach. I can imagine him smirking on the last part. I looked up at the clock and saw we have two minutes left. I decided I was going to answer it verbally. "Yeah speaking of your sweater, here you go." I took it off and put it on the desk. His face turned into shock. HAHA. The bell rang and I got up, I heard a few whistles and everything and I blushed. I reminded myself to breathe and took deep even ones. When I was about to the double doors I ran into my 'date' from before. "Oh hey." I said.

"I forgot you didn't know my name, Erick Daniels and I already know your name." Erik said.

"Yeah about that really sorry for not knowing your name and the whole leaving thing, and the using part, I totally didn't mean anything by it I am sorry." I said.

"I understand Cammie, Bex and Liz told me everything." Erik said.

"So you know everything." I said. I was going to kill them for that.

"Well not everything, I wanted to know if I can be your friend though." Erik said.

"Sure, I would like being your friend and I am sure Bex, Liz, and Macey would love to be your friend to." I said, Not escaping my notice that Erik got really happy when I mentioned Maceys name. Hmm."Erik do you like Macey." I asked.

"What gave you that idea." Erik said. I gave him a look and he said "OK I do what gave it away."

"When I said her name you got really happy." I said simpley.

"Oh I did, my bad." Erik said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Erik if you try to become her boyfriend and she likes you don't ever hurt her or I will hurt you ten times as bad. Bex and Liz would to." I told him.

"I get it Cammie I won't even try to hurt her on purpose, that is if I even become her boyfriend, and Cammie you are a good friend." Erik said.

"It is not just me Bex, Liz, and Macey, we would do anything for each other, to me they are my sisters even if we aren't blood related." I said the truth."I don't know what I would do without them,they are the best."

"I like what you just said Cammie, I am very touched." I was shocked when I heard that voice. I turned around to see Liz, Bex, and Macey who said that.

"How long have you three been standing there?" I asked for Erik's sake not mine.

"Since you two ran into each other." Bex said looking at Erik, who might I say blushed. I felt sorry for him now.

"Ok don't give Erik a hard time, he is my friend now." I said talking to mostly Bex and Liz.

"But Cam remember he is ourfriend too!" Liz said. Bex and Liz ran over to him and pulled him through the double doors. But before that I heard Bex talking.

"You are eating with us today and we get to talk." Bex said. Now I felt really sorry for him. I shook my head and turned to Macey wha was looking at the way Erik, Bex and Liz went.

"So Macey what do you think?" I asked her.

"About Erik?" Macey asked.

"Uh yeah." I said and playfully hit her head. "Remember the guy that said he liked you."

"I don't know yet, he is cute and seems nice that is why I got him to go with you, but I need to get to know him better." Macey said.

"Yeah he does seem nice and is cute, but like you told Liz, Bex, and me with our guys you two look cute together." I said. And they did too.

"We do, don't we, oh well talk about that later lets go inside I got some questions for you about Zach." Macey said. We walked in and got our food. We found Bex and Liz but with no Erik.

"What did you two do with Erik did he runaway?" I asked.

"No he did not runaway we are not that bad!" Bex said.

"Actually he went somewhere with his guy friends he said he was to embarrassed to see Macey." Liz said. Macey just shrugged her shoulders.

"Yeah Macey what do you think about him anyway." Bex asked.

"Like I told Cammie he is cute, seems nice, but I got to get to know him better." Macey said with a sigh. Bet she was getting tired of asking that question.

"Fine I understand, soooo Cameron how did it go with Zach today." Bex asked.

"Zach kept on trying to talk to me, it was so annoying." I said.

"Wait you didn't talk to him right." Macey said.

"No and Yes he wrote me a note," I started but got cut off.

"He did. Did you write back?" Macey asked.

"Yeah if you want to read it, I got it hang on...(felt around pocket) here you go." I said. They read it.

"You didn't answer back to the last one." Liz stated.

"Yeah I did this is were I talked to him, don't get mad Macey, I took off his sweater gave it to him said something like 'Speaking of, here you go" then I heard people whistling thats when I ran into Erik then you guys, Oh! And Zach had a shocked expression when I gave it to him." I said

"I'm not mad. I loved what you did good job." Macey said.

"Thanks."

"So what is the plan, because here they come right now." Bex said. I turned around and saw all three of them coming this way. I turned back to my friends.

"Well I guess it is question and answer time." I said with a smile. They nodded in agreement. This time is not going to be like before I am talking first. I am going to do it in front of everyone. They got to our table and stood across from us.

"Hey girls." Jonas said giving Liz a kiss on the cheek before sitting down.

"Yeah hey girls, hi favourites toy." Grant said.

"Grant I am not your toy!" I said trying to sound angry but laughed.

"Yeah Cammie isn't your toy, Jonas and Zach are." Bex said.

"My boyfriend is not your boyfriend's toy!" Liz yelled.

"Yeah what she said but Zach is definitely Grant's toy." Jonas said.

"No actually its the other way around, Grant is my toy." Zach said. I felt him staring at me so I looked at him. This time I wasn't afraid to look at him in the eyes. I was going to say something but Grant beat me to it.

"Zach I want you to give us answers especially to Cammie about where exactly you were you went today with whats her name." Grant said. I looked at Grant. Was he actually being serious. He looked at me and said "Cam you are like a little sister to me and Jonas."

"AWW! Thank you guys I think about you two as my brother in laws you get it because Bex and Liz." I said. I went around and gave them a hug and sat back down.

"Alright Zach give us answers, where did you go with Tina that took the whole first period." Jonas said.

'That is her name!" Grant smacked his head while yelling it out.

"Yes jeez Grant pay attention you have a attention span worse than a new born baby. Why were you gone Zach." Jonas said.

"You guys I can handle this you know." I said but they waved me off. I sighed this was going to be a long lunch. I looked back at Zach who wasn't looking at anyone. Bad sign. Maybe we shouldn't do this in front of everyone. I took even breathes and tried to calm down. Yeah it kinda, ok didn't work at all. It never works with me so why try. I burst out yelling "I don't care any more what happened between Tina and Zach, it seems it is a secret he doesn't want to tell so just leave it alone!" I said. I looked at my friends and they looked sad. I felt tears coming down and I whipped them away so no one could see but who am I going to kid everyonealready saw it coming. "I cried enough over you Zach and I don't know why I am crying right now, I should let you explain everything to me but I just can't, I can't handle it." I started to get up and my friends did too I motioned them to sit down "I'm ok guys or I will be, I am going to take the rest of my classes off today tell them I am sick or something, I need to calm down."

I looked back at Zach and he opened his mouth to say something but I stopped him "Zach I know I am being mean and call me anything you want, but I don't want to hear any excuses, I thought I could do this listen to you but I can't. I don't know if I ever will be but when I am I will tell you or someone else will. As for me and you I think we should take a... a... break for awhile." I felt myself starting to cry more when I said the thing about taking a break. I didn't want one I want to be with him, but the idea of something or anything Tina did with him I couldn't handle it. And If they didn't do anything then I don't deserve him for having insecurities. After what I said Zach looked angry and sad. He slammed his hands on the table and walked out without a word to anyone. I felt guilty like really really guilty, but I couldn't take back what I said. I hugged my friends and ran to my room. I got my Ipod out and tried to listen to music to calm me down, but the songs reminded me of Zach and I cried even more.
