Chapter 14

Camerons POV

Zach, thats all her brain could process, and it was starting to frustrate her. He was like a disease that has entered her brain and she can't fight it.

"Cammie?" Her head snapped towards her dorm door to see Macey standing in the small crack she had created for herself. When Macey caught Cammie's eyes she cautiously stepped into there room, "Cammie I-"

"Please Macey, Don't" Cammie said cutting her off not able to hear the apology from her. It wasn't Macey's fault that Cammie had put a little trust into someone, it didn't change the fact that she was still right in the end,she couldn't trust anyone, and it hurt to be right.

Macey looked down at the ground and nodded her head. Turning back to leave, she stopped at the door and turned to face Cammie again.

"It doesn't change that I am sorry, even if you don't want to hear it" There was a glimmer in Macey's eyes that made Cammie feel guilty, but Cammie just looked away because that glimmer was caused by a tear.

When the door shut with a bang from Macey shutting the door she cringed and sank back into her bed. Why did everything have to be hard for her? Did she do something wrong through out these's years that led to this? At the thought her mind went back to Zach.

"AHHH!" She screamed out in frustration. Why can't she just forget him again, why does he have to invade her every thought. She tore the covers off of herself and was hit with the ice cold air. As she stood up she felt so exposed and looked down at herself to realize she was exposed.

Standing in her bra and underwear she quickly made her way to her dresser and put on what looked like a fresh set of her uniform. Racing into the washroom she fixed herself up before head out towards the door. She couldn't stand being in this room anymore, waiting for someone else to barge in on her, she couldn't even stand the thought of seeing Bex, with a smug grin probably place on her face.

Walking along the corridor Cammie took her time to look out each window as she passed by, taking in the rays of sun shin that shone down telling her it was 8 o'clock in the morning. As she starred down at the front door a black van caught her vision as it drove through the gates.

It seem as though hours had passed as she watched the van, waiting for the doors to open, but nothing. No one came out and it didn't seem as though anyone was getting in. She pondered the thought of staying there all day to watch it, but choose differently when her stomach growled at her.

If she could go forever without eating, sleeping, drinking, she would but in reality it's a vital thing to do so. As Cammie made her way down the steps she braced herself for what would happen when she entered the din hall. It seemed as if since the moment she work up, everything seemed a little more frightening, that every step she took was a mile and she wished it would just go back.

Her heart tighten when she reached the oak doors and her unsteady hand moved towards the handle. She could hear her ragged breathing and suddenly the voice in her head spoke, 'breathe' and she did letting herself gain enough courage the force the doors open.

As the doors moved aside, she cleared her head and forced herself to move forward not reacting to the stares of her class mates or her moves eyes watching her from the podium, she just moved.

It was eery quiet as her feet moved along the marble floor. Making it to her seat she sat down to face the front and told herself 'don't break', and she didn't. Turning her gaze to her mother she gave her a sly smile as the twinkle in her mothers eyes dead as her eyes narrowed in on her daughters lips.

"you have 2 minutes to find one of the keys and get to the van," her mothers voice was heard making all her fellow sisters head snap back to the front to face her, "If you don't have one in the next 2 minutes, don't bother looking any more" Cammie's mothers eyes connected with her's with a hard stare and Cammie was the first to move. She didn't know what they were doing, or where they were going, she just knew she had to find a key.

As if her movement sent of a trigger, her sisters around her rushed to they feet, pushing, kicking, as they made there way to the hall. Cammie slide her slim body against the cold brick wall, running her hand along it until it gave away. As the crack appeared she looked around herself to see if anyone was looking when she caught her mothers eye again. Her mother's lips moved and Cammie narrowed her eye's on them, 'Don't be late' her read almost able to hear her mothers voice as she mouthed it.

"Wouldn't dream of it" She muttered to herself before squeezing through and shutting it closed behind her. She raced through the cob webs and dust that flew in her face before crashing into a familiar marble wall the feel it move away allowing her into the pitch black office of her mothers office. Her eyes darted to the desk in her room and smiled to herself as she saw the key that lay on top of it. As she raced to it a slam came from the front doors just as Tina Walters came crashing through with several girls behind her.

Cammie smiled as she stepped backwards into the passage way and push. The girls stood wide eye'd after Cammie to exhausted and stunned to move as Cammie's mouth moved.

"Maybe next time girls" Just as the wall closed she saw Tina's figure lung at the wall, but not fast enough. There was a loud slam as Cammie turned on her heels and made her way back. Slipping back out and into the halls she scanned around her to see the smoke and hear the scream of girls as they ran after one another, attacking each other.

Cammie walked, counting down the seconds in her head as she pushed the front doors to Gallagher aside and stepped out to breath in the clean air. Skipping down the steps she saw Mr. Solomon shaking his head as he leaned next to the black van, that Cammie knew would be there as she continued to count down in her head.

"Miss. Morgan, what a surprise, and here I thought you would be lost" He spoke a little amusement found in his voice.

"Oh, no Mr. Solomon," Her sly words slipped from her mouth with ease as she took a final step to stand in front of him, "I'm never lost" as she said it her mind flashed back to last night remembering laying there in the mud, was she lost then? The answer is no. She knew, maybe not consciously but she knew.

"Maybe next time you could make it a little harder," She said to be received with a chuckle from her teacher. It was put to a stop as and explosion was heard from behind her. She watched as the doors swung open and smoke clouded the way as a figure emerged from the doors. Liz.

She wobbled her way down the stairs a little dazed as she held up the key.

"I-I'm not late, I'm not late" she repeated as she reached us and continued on to climb into the van.

"Bloody fucking hell! who's the little fucker that shot the bottle at me?" Cammie rolled my eyes and climbed into the van not believing her luck.

"Miss. Baxter," she than heard Solomon greet her and Cammie could hear Bex's feet halt.

"I mean-oh fuck it, I got a key" She said as Cammie finally saw her in the tinted glass as she climbed into the van. Mr. Solomon didn't move to stop her or scold her, he just continued to lean against the side of the car.

It was silent as we watched, all counting down as it came to the last ten seconds and all our eye's and ears where trained on the fronts...

9...nothing...

8...Cammie heard the faint screeches from the girls...

7... glass shattered from the second floor...

6...It was as if everything was moving slowly as a few girls emerged from the side of the school...

5... she looked back up to see a piece of rope fly out the window...

4...a girl flew out, grasping the rope...

3...the girls coming around the corner neared the car as they ran, probably hearing the same ticking sound we all heard in our head...

2... looking back to the girl from the window, Cammie watched as she hit the ground and turned to face us for me to recognize her as Macey...

1... Cammie felt like she could almost see her heart beating out of her chest as she ran to the car, hurtling her whole body inside the van landing on Bex and Liz.

Cammie turned to just see as the door shut closed. She blink, starring, waiting for it to open again and for the other girls to slide in but they didn't. The drivers door opened and closed before we felt the jolt of the van as it drove forward.

It was quiet in the van other than the uneven breathing from Macey as she lay across the laps of Bex and Liz. No words were exchanged as Macey finally sat up and made her way into the back not the Cammie. They avoided eye contact as Macey sat down, not sure if there was anything to be said. Thoughts ran through Cammie's mind as she looked down at the key in her hand, it was silver with a number engraved on it, as if it was clue to what it belonged to.

"Mr. Solomon?" Bex's voice broke through the silence as Cammie starred out the window as she listened in, "What school are we actually attending?" Cammie's heart sank as she registered Bex's words knowing the answer.

"Roseville" Her voice broke through catching her room mates off guard.

"Precisely" Mr. Solomon said with a smile heard in his voice. Looking out the window Cammie caught the sight of the school in the distance, knowing maybe, just this once she may have been wrong in entering the van, into not thinking before she did.

It was minutes later before they finally reached the school where Solomon pulled up at the side of the gates. Turning to face his students her scanned there face to take in the ash's in there hair and burnt clothing. Sighing he leaned over into the passengers seat to pull up a small duffle bag that he threw at us.

"Get rid of the uniforms and put on those" He said before starting the car up again. Bex opened the bag to find some shirts and jeans that they rushed to put on, not caring if Mr. Solomon was in the front seat. The feeling that rushed through Cammie as they entered the gates was earth shattering.

This wasn't what she was expecting, why where they here of all places? Somehow she knew she wasn't going to like the answer. When the engine cut Cammie seemed to look at Macey to see her staring back and for a moment all the tension between them didn't exist but as that moment came, it went. They looked away too see Bex open the Van door and step out which we soon all followed not sure what else to do. When we had all managed to climb out of the van and close the door we turned to wait for but he never came out.

The window rolled down and he smiled at us, "Catch" and Cammie did just that as he threw a piece of paper at her.

"Good luck ladies" Was the last thing they heard before the van disappeared.

"What the fuck!" Bex was the first to speak. Cammie turn to give her a cold stare before opening the note and feeling the anger boil inside her as she read it.

One of the greatest challenges in life ladies is to be normal

A little hint, start at the office

Through her anger Cammie took a deep breath and stepped towards the school doors to be pulled back by a hand.

"No, not again," Bex's voice cut threw her as she tightened her hold on Cammie's arm, "we go together" Cammie tugged her arm away from Bex's grasp.

"Fine" She said in her icy tone. Turning back to the school they moved towards the doors.

It took them a while to locate the office but the did the glass door, Cammie caught the eye of the secratary as they opened the door.

"Good morning girls" her cheery voice ringing through there ears making Cammie want to cring but she didn't.

"Good morning" Cammie's voice came out softly. As she continued to look at them her eye's went wide and a wide smile broke across her face.

"Oh! you most be those girls we've been waiting all morning for" she cooed and reached around her desk as the girls looked at one another, "well welcome to Roseville high, I'm Mrs. Berry, the secretary here," She said as she smiled at us again.

She looked down once more before standing and making her way around her desk, "I have your dorm rooms here along with you class schedules and don't worry, your luggage is already in your assigned room, if you have any problem what so ever you know where to find me," She sang as she than asked us our names to hand us our package.

"Oh we were so thrilled to get some exchange student here at our school, where did you guys come from again?" She asked and Macey was the first to speak.

"Well actually we don't really know each other, we just happened to meet in the parking lot" Her voice was calm and steady, not even the slightest off beat. Mrs. Berry smiled and giggle to herself.

"There i go again, we'll you girls have a good time here and I hope you feel welcome" She said as Cammie opened the door to leave.

"We will" Bex assured her just as the door closed behind her. As girls walked they each were to consumed in reading there our package to think of one another until they were outside. they seemed to look at one another and than around them selves as people walked by them and starred as the girls quickly moved out of the way towards a railing.

It was silent until Cammie finally broke it, "I'm in the Eastern Dorms, 211" was all she said to get a response from Bex who shook her head.

"I'm in the Southern Dorms, 114, maybe we're not all together?" She question just as Liz jumped up and down.

"I'm in 114, Southern Dorms!" She exclaimed with a smile over her face. Cammie looked to Macey to see her face drop as she read over hers.

"Good news I'm in the Southern Dorms but I'm not in your guys room, I'm in 203" She said with sad eyes as she looked up to meet there eyes. Cammie rolled her eyes at there mopey looks and turned to look around her to see which way they she should be heading when she spotted a building in the distance that read Eastern on it. Starting towards it she head Macey's voice call after her.

"Hey where are you going?" She said sounding confused. Cammie looked over her shoulder and called back.

"My dorm" before continuing on. Cammie felt a pang inside her that felt like jealously when she watch the girls cheer together and walk in another direction. Apart of her wished she could be with them. Pushing it aside she moved forward until she stood in front of the building.

As she walked towards it she was given odd stares from the people that passed her and she looked down to make sure she was in the right place and she was. Pushing the doors open she quickly rushed back as a ball flew at her and a few boys came out with it. Feeling her heart rate quicken she stepped in side to almost get run over-again as she pressed herself against the wall.

Looking down the hall way filled with boys she stood wide eye'd, where the hell was she. Spotting the stairwell, she ran towards it, avoid boys as the slid down the railing and ran screaming down the stairs. Her breathing was ragged and all she could think was to find 211, just find her room!

Going down the hallway of the second floor, she ducked and turned feeling every so often an eye catching sight of her. Spotting her room and bolted to it twisting the knob and finding it thankfully open. As soon as she opened it, she slammed it shut and turned to lean on it for support with closed eyes. Trying to catch her breath she heard a movement that snapped her eyes open.

Her eye's connected with the broad muscles displayed on the tone chest of the guy that stood in front of her making her eyes trail upwards to his chiseled chin making Cammie bite her lip as she continued to trail her eye's up until her meet eye's of an emerald green and all that could escape of mouth was, "You"

"Actually, I prefer to be call Zach"

I know, I'm so cruel but just look at it this way, Zach being Cammie's roommate means theres not end to not seeing Zach and he can't really disappear forever ;)

Soooo Questions:

Was just having bex, liz and macey a little to cheesy?

Who prefers to have Grant or Jonas?

Or do you just not want them to appear at all?

Should i hook Macey up with someone or not?

What do you think about Cammie's character, do you think I'm getting a little off track with it?

BIG question, do you want Cammie to be hard to get or fall for zach right away?
