Chapter Twelve: Date With Josh & Camping Out Underneath The Stars With Zach

I pulled up into the parking lot of Hal's Diner, the place that were eating at tonight. I turned my car off, grabbed my clutch and headed into the diner with Amber. When I first stepped foot in there I felt way over dressed. I felt like people would think I was some little rich kid who was stuck in this town for awhile with nothing better to do than go hang out at places below me and complain about it.

"Don't you think we might be a little to overdressed?" I nudged Amber in the arm before we found Josh and Connor at a table in the way back.

"No." Amber said. "You look fine. You're just nervous."

"Okay." I sighed. She was probably right. I was just nervous that it was my first date and I didn't want to feel out of place.

Josh and Connor were waving at us to come join them. We did.

"Hey guys." Amber slid in next to Connor which meant I was sitting next to Josh. "What's good to eat here?" She asked. Connor was talking and pointing to good things that he liked and Josh was just staring at me.

"So how to like being up here in DC?" Josh asked.

"It's nice." I said. "I come up here a lot with my friend to his cabin."

"Fun, fun." Josh said, sound bored.

"So what do you like to do for fun?" I cocked an eyebrow.

"Um skateboard, snowboard, wakeboard, play lacrosse, hockey and run track." he said. "How about you?"

"Playing soccer, hocking and more soccer along with listening to music, writing, reading, taking photos and sometime I like to paint." I explained.

"Sounds like fun." Josh said sounding bored still.

"So what do you want to talk about?" I asked.

"You." he smiled. "I want to talk and get to know you."I blushed a little. "So what do you want to know?"

"Everything." Josh said. "Like who's your best friends, where do you go to school, if you drink or not, stuff like I guess.""Zach Goode is my best frie-" I began.

"Really?" Josh said before I could finish the rest of my sentence.

"Yeah since birth pretty much." I said.

"Did you know that he made out with my ex-girlfriend a couple years ago?" Josh asked.

"He said something about it, but that was it." I tried to make it sound like Zach hadn't told me about his little plan.

"Good." Josh said. "I wouldn't want him to try to convince you not to go out with me. I know that he hates me so I figured he may have said something else, but I guess not!" Josh smiled a smile that looked fake and right there I knew that he didn't actually want to go on a date with me. He just wanted to use me so he can get back at Zach.

"I have to go." I started to get up, but Josh grabbed my arm.

"We haven't even eaten though." Josh pointed out.

"I'm not feeling well all of a sudden." I wasn't lying. I did feel like I wanted to puke. I felt my stomach turning into knots. "Besides you're only using me to get back at Zach."

Josh's mouth dropped a little. "So it is true." I shook my head. "Amber are you going to stay with them?"

Amber looked down at the table and I knew that was my answer. "Fine. Whatever. Stay here with them." I started to walk away when I turned around to give her one last look to just come with me.

Thank god she got up, "Come on." She latched her arm around mine. "Lets head back to the cabin. I think we just hang out with our other boys tonight."

I chuckled. "Sounds like a good night to me." Amber smiled as we walked back to my car.

"I can't believe we did that!" Amber said as she opened the car door. "It actually felt like the right thing to do!"

"It was." I agreed, getting into the drivers seat of the car.

I turned the car on and headed back to the cabin. When I pulled into the gravel driveway, I could see that Zach and Luke were sitting on the dock just chilling.

Zach must have heard my car pulling up because he turned around and smiled. I don't think I've ever seen him smile like that before. It seemed like that he wasn't the happiest person alive. I wondered what was making him smile like that? (A/N Yes I am aware that Cammie is kinda clueless)

"Well hey there ladies!" Luke shouted and waved at us.

"Hey boys!" Amber waved back. "Should we go over by them or go get changed first?"

"Let's go over by them." I smiled.

"Hey." Zach smirked as we approached them.

"Hey yourself." I smirked back. I took a seat next to Zach. "So you were right about him."

Zach smirk widen and he looked pretty satisfied that he was right and I was wrong. I shoved him a little bit, "Wipe that smirk off of your face."

Zach smiled, "Hey I told you I may not always be right, but I'm never wrong."

I rolled my eyes again, "You're delusional."

Zach grinned, "Let's camp out underneath the stars tonight."

"Okay." I agreed. "Only if you tell me what you were earlier?"

"What I was going to say to earlier is that you really need to start liking better boys." Zach put his hand on mine. "I just don't want you to be with a jerk.""Well next time I'll get your approval." I joked.

"I'm serious, Cam." Zach snapped. "A lot of the guys at school are thinking about making a bet to see who can get laid by you first."

My mouth literally dropped to the ground, "Ugh! Guys suck!" I got up to storm off, but Zach grabbed my arm and stopped me.

"Not all guys." His face was getting closer to mine. I was sure this time that he was going to kiss me, but I was wrong once again. He lifted me and then jumped in the lake with me in his arms.

"Zachary Michael Goode!" I heard Amber yell when we came up for a breath. "I worked really hard to make Cammie look and you ruined it!"

I burst out laughing, "Yeah Zach!" I splashed some water at him. "And why do you always have to drag me into the lake with you?" I asked.

"Because I'm afraid of the water." he said sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes, "I'm going inside to shower and put on a nice pair of warm clothes." I started to swim to shore. "Hurry your ass up!" Zach shouted. "We're camping out still!"

I smirked. "Okay!"

Twenty minutes later, I was out of the shower and in a nice pair of warm sweatpants and soccer t-shirt. I slipped my contacts off and put on my glasses, grabbed my cell phone and sleeping bag and headed back outside to find Zach, Luke and Amber already laying down.

"'Bout time." Zach laughed.

"Shut up!" I said. I laid my sleeping bag down next to Zach and joined them in looking at the gorgeous night sky above us.

"Oh shooting star!" Amber exclaimed. "Make a wish everyone!"I closed my eyes and made a wish. I kept my eyes closed and fell into a deep sleep, hoping that my wish would come true.

Well what do you guys think? Review and let me know! :)
