"I'm sorry," and then he kissed me.

Cammie's POV

A breeze pushed my hair forward and into my face. Max's jacket was draped over my shoulders and his fingers were laced through mine, my eyes glided through the hall as we entered the school, scanning the faces of all the students. It had been a week sense Zach apologised and he had been ignoring me… well, I mean not your usual avoiding. Every time I saw him he would smile and wave, or smirk and wink or just smirk, but if I tried to say something or get close to him he would turn and walk the other way, or just vanish into a crowd of students.

"Something wrong Cammie?" Max's voice was soft and concerned, I suppose he was still trying to make up for his fight with Zach; people were still whispering about it. I had forgiven him a long time ago though, after all, hadn't I caused it in the first place? I had forgiven Max, but had I really forgiven Zach? Had Max forgiven me? I looked up and saw Max staring down at me. I took in a deep breath and smiled,

"Yeah, fine." I said as I shook my head from my thoughts and started to head to my locker. Max close behind me.

"Cammie," Max said and I waited for him to continue "I wanted you to know that everything is Okay between us." I stopped walking, staring forward, I knew that he had stopped too, he wanted me to turn round and face him, but I couldn't bring myself to. My eyes started to sting and I looked around trying to gather myself together, I didn't want to cry in front of everyone again. I wanted everything to Okay, and I knew that technically things were Okay, I was physically okay, emotionally Okay, mentally Okay, but I wasn't Okay. I couldn't say anything because I was over reacting, I was fine, no one would be able to understand, because wasn't everything Okay? I turned and wrapped arms around his torso, burying my face into his chest sense I was too short to reach the crook of his neck. I felt Max's arms slip around my waist and pull me closer. I didn't cry, I didn't sniff, and I just breathed heavily into his shirt,

"Everything is fine," I whispered to myself, coming to the conclusion that I had been looking for "but everything is not Okay." Max either didn't hear me, or chose not to say anything back and for that I was grateful. So we just stayed there as the bell rang for class, as the halls emptied, he just held me, saying nothing, I breathed deeply as my mind cleared. My thoughts were no longer flicking from page to page, but being read; the pages being turned slowly and methodically.

I scribbled down notes as the teacher spoke, her words coming out quickly and rushed as she tried to finish the lesson on time.

"And this is when Russia became a communist country. The leader of the Bolsheviks, Lenin, seized power in November 1917." The bell rang and she let out a deep breath that she must have been holding for some time. Everyone started to push their things into their bags almost immediately.

"We will continue from here next lesson." She shouted over the crowd of students pushing out of the door and into the already packed hall.

"I didn't catch a word of that." Said Macey as she waited for me to put my books away, I gave out a quick laugh

"Yeah well you were on your phone, texting Nick the whole time so…" I put my bag on my shoulder and started to head for the door.

"I was not!" she said defensively, he voice cracking slightly as I gave her a sideways glance "Well, he started it, I mean like, I don't even like him like that." She said as her phone buzzed and she fought the urge not to break into a wide grin

"I won't judge," I said with a sly smile and she immediately turned the screen on and read the text, I watched her cheeks go slightly pink before she typed a reply and tapped on the X key 5 times.

"Really Macey, five kisses?"

"It was an accident!" she said shoving the phone into her pocket.

"It's cool, Nick is hot." I said nonchalantly, I had had a crush on him freshman year when he came, but it quickly wore off when he had a party and got completely wasted… that was also… freshman year.

"Hey!" Macey grumbled and glared at me before she smiled, her eyes twinkling, "He is isn't he…" I raised my eyebrows at her. Macey McHenry never swooned "Well, he is!" and I just burst into laughter as her face pinched up and her lips formed a un-intentioned pout, when I just kept laughing she broke into a smile and started laughing too.

Zach's POV

"Are guys sure that this is working?" I asked when lunch rolled around like it did every day. I just sat at the table; I wasn't really hungry so I just gazed out the window as the others ate fried chicken and potatoes.

"Trust me…" Shawn mumbled as he shoved a potato into his mouth "Just you wait; I can tell that she is already getting anxious. You basically had a complete change of character and then left her hanging. She'll come to you." I shook my head

"But every time she tries to come to me I walk away… what if I walked away from the right moment?" I winced at the thought of missing my chance with Cammie; I had messed up so much already. I looked around the lunch room and saw her sat with her friends. Max's arm was slung over her shoulder and they were all laughing at something someone at the table had said. Liz and Jonas were sat next to each other and so were Grant and Bex, Nick was smiling at Macey who seemed to be concentrating on her salad. My eyes fell back on Cammie and found her blue eyes staring back at me. I smiled at her and nodded slightly, the corner of her mouth turned up slightly, her eyes reflecting the bright lights of the cafeteria. She turned back to her friends and I felt my heart sink a little.

"Nah, don't worry about it man." Luke said shrugging his shoulders. I nodded and looked back over his shoulder to see Cammie stand up and walk out of the room. I couldn't resist, I excused myself from the guys and followed her out.

"Zach," her voice was soft and cautious. I turned around and saw her standing in the door way of the old music room.

"Hey Cammie," I said coolly stepping towards her and running a hand through my hair.

"What is your problem Zach?" my smile fell and so did my stomach

"What-" I cleared my throat "What do you mean?" I had missed my chance. I had walked away from the right moment and now it was too late.

"I'm talking about your apology and then suddenly you stop talking to me? I'm talking about how you're a jerk and an ass and then all sweet and nice." I tried to come up with something to say

"You think I'm sweet and nice?" Maybe it wasn't too late... I took another step closer to her, but this time she stepped back.

"You know what I mean." She stuttered becoming flustered.

"I said I was sorry Cammie I don't know what's so bad about that."

"Nothing, it's not the apology, I just… you're so… complicated." Her voice was becoming quieter as I keep stepping closer, smirking down at her. I wanted to run my fingers through her dishwater blonde hair and feel my lips on her's again.

"Don't even think about it Zachy." She said, poking her index finger into my chest and pushing me away from her. She was smirking up at me now. I opened my mouth to say something, but she cut me off, "Come on, I was just starting to warm up to you and here you go trying to mess it all up again." My mouth was still hanging open slightly as she slipped passed me and walked back into the lunch room, her hips swaying slowly. The loose blonde curls of her hair bouncing with each step. I couldn't help but smile and shake my head, she was… perfect.
