Oh no Grant has a crush on Cammie!? Nope :) I like the idea of them thinking alike and thinking of each other like a brother or sister, not boyfriend and girlfriend. So that's what I'm going to do. :D

Thanks for reviewing!
Sunday Morning
Jonas's POV
When Liz walked through that door, she looked beautiful! The waviness in her hair really brought out her smile just like the eyeliner brought out her eyes.
Wait... what are you thinking Jonas? Of course you of all people would want to work on an extra curricular project with her but would you really want to fall in love with her?
I shook my head and stared at my food to make it look like I was thinking of something important. I didn't want anyone thinking that I liked Liz because I don't want to like her in that way. I want to think of her as a friend that would work beside me in an office one day. I want to think of her as that one person you can count on if something goes wrong. I want to her to be that person I would hug me when I ask her to marry me. I just want Liz to hug me and...
Oh no... This can't be happening. I, Jonas Anderson has officially fallen in love with Elizabeth Sutton.
I've only known her for what, half a semester... 2 years ago. I only talked with her yesterday so that isn't really possible. To like someone you have to like them for who they really are inside. You have to take the time to talk to them and get to know them better than most people. You have to find those traits you look for in the girl of your dreams. You can't just like them for their physical appearance otherwise you would be attracted to them for the wrong reason. That's not what love is really about. It's not like those sappy chick flicks where they say 'love at first sight'. No, they're giving you the wrong picture to love people in that way, they're...
"Jonas are you okay?" I look up to look into Liz's big wide eyes. It took me a moment to realized that I just had my head down on the table and my hand clutching my stomach. Man am I glad that that I'm a spy. "I'm fine..." I say as I straighten myself. I blush from 45% of embarrassment and 55% because of her.
"Are you sure?" she asks and for a moment there I could feel what Zach felt when he was with Cammie. Loving someone right in front of you felt like you were the only two people in the world. My heart felt so warm as it was beating faster than it's ever beaten before. (by 64%) Right when the moment felt just right, I was snapped back into reality when Grant said "You sure you're okay, Jonas?"
Just like before, It took me a moment to realize what I was doing. This time I was on the floor clutching my stomach as I rocked back and forth. It would have been hilarious if it wasn't me.
"Yeah I'm fine, I think I'm just going to go to my room for a little bit. I'm not feeling so great." I said as Liz helped me back up. Her hands were warm and soft. I started blushing from her and from what had just happened.
"Ya think?" Zach said as his face scrunched up in to a playful 'surprised' look. Everyone from our table laughed except Liz who whispered "Want me to walk you there?" "Okay." I replied and we walked out of the Grand Hall together with our hands inches apart from each other.
Bex's POV
After Liz left with Jonas, Macey decided that she wanted more Crème brûlée.
This is very unusual behavior for Macey I thought. Both Cammie and I exchange a glance. "Bex, save my seat for me will you." said Macey in a British accent even though today we were to speak "American English".
I give her a strange look because:
a) Cammie is the one that loves Crème brûlée, not her.
b) Macey doesn't just decide she wants more. No, she tries not to 'over eat' because otherwise she claims she'll get 'fat' (Even though she could easily burn it off in P&E.)
c) No one really 'saves seats' anymore, we all have our 'usual' spots where we sit.
d) Everyone knows that if Bex saves your seat, she's going to sit on it claiming that she was doing you a favor by 'warming it up'.
I shrug as move to the seat next mine which was Macey's. I didn't complain when an arm went around mine with it's owner saying "So Rebecca, since when do you curl your hair?" I replied "First of all, call me Bex unless you want to be in the hospital. Secondly, my hair isn't curled, it's scrunched." After I said that my hair wasn't curled, Grant raised his eyebrows at me. I said "Believe it or not Grant, there's a difference."
"Sorry it just looks so different on you." Grant kept staring from my eye's to my hair as if he couldn't believe that that was me. That's when I saw it, just a bit of dislike in his eyes. That's also when an idea popped into my head.
"Yeah I lost a bet with Macey yesterday just before you guys came. The bet was to guess who would make a bigger dent in new steel doors to the P&E Barn. In bare hands." Again his eyebrows went up as if he was surprised at the type of things spy-girls-in training-do. "I guessed myself because I was planning on making the biggest dent anyways. We had Cam and Liz for judges on this one. Macey guessed it would be someone unexpected. I doubted her and punched the door claiming my victory. We waited 3 days and no one else made a bigger dent on the door." I smiled at him because it was true. Of all Gallagher students, my punch on that door was bigger. The only lie I told him was the fact that we did a bet on it. "Liz said that we should give Macey one more week to prove herself so we did. The week ended yester-" "Then you won the bet ri-" "LET ME FINISH!" I yelled.
The Grand hall went silent. Even the teachers stopped talking to look at me. "I'm sorry." I said "Please continue eating your food or I'll shove it down your throat." A few people giggled when I said that. I needed to prove my point so I added "Literally." After that, everyone resumed eating their food.
"As I was saying Grant," He looked at me as if he wanted to finish hearing my story but wasn't sure if he should since people were talking about us now. "Yesterday, the unexpected happened. We had a pop quiz that J- Mr. Soloman set up during P&E. We were attacked by 24 men in black suits. One of those 'men' revealed themselves. It just so happened to be Cammie's Aunt Abby. She said we did a great job and because of that, she was going to punch the steel door to mark our victory. She outdid my dent therefore I lost the bet. Now I have to have my hair like this until tomorrow and pretend I love it."
Now if Grants eyebrows could go any higher on his forehead, they did. "I had you convinced didn't I?" I asked with a smile on my face. "Yeah you sure did. I thought you changed..." He trailed off and that's when I realized he hasn't said much since I started talking with him.
Was it possible for him to like a girl like me?
"Hey Bex, walk outside with me will ya?" Grant asked in a timid voice. It's not like him to do that I thought. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Macey wink at me as she left the Grand Hall. "Sure." I said. We get up and almost instantly my shoulders felt cold where his arms just were. As if he was feeling the same thing, he puts his arm around me again. And just like that, we start to make our way outside.
Authors Note
Ok so I feel as if I finally got the type of character I want Bex to be! To be honest with you, I never really liked doing Bex's POV in the previous chapters because what I wrote didn't feel like it was right. Personally, I prefer this chapter's Bex so maybe in the near future I'll take the time to re-write all of Bex's POV adding in more details! I'll let you guys know if I do that though.
Nope this wasn't a Zammie chapter. This was a Liz & Jonas and Grant & Bex chapter. For those of you that are taking taking the time to read this, Next chapter WILL be a Zammie chapter :)
Also I think I'm going to have this sort of layout for every chapter. I'll thank reviewers from the previous chapter AND answer any questions at the very top. Then I'll do an author note or something here at the bottom.
Oh sorry if you think I do too many line breaks. (like below) I like keeping what I write 'organized' and this is my way of doing it.
Reviews? I don't mind answering questions too you know!
