Hey guys! I'm probably going to end this story in about 3-4 chapters, so bear with me! ALSO CHECK OUT MY NEW STORY: First Operative- Based on First Daughter. It's based on the movie First Daughter. Enjoy the chapter!
I wake up the next morning with my head on Zach's chest. There were no excuses for what happened last night, and to be honest I enjoyed it. But I was scared. Zach has the attention span of a nat and if we got together, he would dump me when he got bored. And I mean I am pretty boring. My eyes widened as I remembered Jake, he was such a good boyfriend and we would have a promising future together, but I love Zach. I have always loved Zach.
I get up and brush my teeth, just in case we continue the festivities of last night. I even make us breakfast. Zach wakes up about 5 minutes after I finished making the pancakes.
"Morning Sleepyhead," I smile at Zach.
Zach clears his throat, "About last night..."
My heart sinks as Zach struggles to find the right words.
"I'm with Beth, and your with Jake."
I swallow and nod trying to hold back tears, "Yeah.."
Zach's face brightens, "So we're on the right page?"
I nod, "What even happened last night." I say letting him know I wouldn't talk about it.
"Thanks Gallagher Girl."His eyes dart to the pancakes I made, "Since when can you cook?"
I never cooked in front of Zach because I didn't want to be his slave in the kitchen, "Secret."
Zach smiles as he grabs some pancakes, "You've been holding out on me on these years!"
Zach sits next to me on the counter and we eat our pancakes in silence.
"By the way Cammie," Zach says with his mouth full, "You're an amazing kisser."
I stayed with Zach for a about a half an hour before I left. During that time I was dying inside. I broke down crying as soon as I got into my car. For the rest of the Summer, I didn't really talk to Zach. I hung out with my friends and occasionally Jake. But whenever I was with Jake, I was wishing that I was with Zach. I saw Zach occasionally in passing at the movies and I stalked him on Facebook, he was always with Beth.
But now, it's the first day of school, and I know that I am going to have to face him eventually. Macey, Bex, and I are walking down the hall. Liz is busy giving all of her teachers her resume (don't ask me why). As we turn the corner, we see Zach with Beth.
"Cam, stay strong." Macey says as she links her arm with my arm.
I sigh and bit my lip.
"Just think about Jake." Bex suggests trying to help. But everytime I think about Jake, I think about Zach. I told Jake about what happened between me and Zach and we decided that we wouldn't actually be in a relationship, just dating and hanging out without the title.
"Can you guys just hide me?"
Macey and Bex nod as they move to the side that Zach will be on when we pass him. We almost make it past Zach until Eva shouts, "Hi Cammie!"
Zach's eyes bolt up at the sound of my name. I feel like I'm shrinking inside as I try to make myself invisible. Zach immediately leaves Beth and heads towards me, but just as he reaches me, Tina pulls me into the bathroom.
"Inside sources have told me that Zach Goode has dumped Beth Halosan for you, do you confirm these claims?" Tina says as she corners me in the bathroom.
I clear my throat, "I didn't even know they broke up."
Just then Bex and Macey barge into the bathroom cracking up. I don't even want to know what they did because Bex has a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"That was a close one!" Macey exclaims referring to my almost encounter with Zach.
"Yeah, thanks Tina." I say, but then I realize that I don't want the entire school to know that I'm avoiding Zach, "Um.. Zach and I are playing ultimate hide and seek."
And then Bex, Macey, and I leave before she can ask any questions.
Macey and I head to homeroom and split up with Bex because she has a different homeroom. We get our schedules and my phone buzzes with text messages from Bex and Liz saying their schedules and I send them mine.
We barley have any classes together, but I'm grateful that I have chemistry with Liz, economics and world history with Bex, and journalism with Macey. My phone vibrates with a message from Liz: Cammie, Jonas sent me Zach's schedule and I am going to forward it to you. It looks like you have math, PE, and French with him.
I groan as I double check his schedule. Liz was right and my first period was French, so I get to deal with Zach right off the bat.
Check out First Operative-Based on First Daughter! Here is the summary: Cammie has lived a very sheltered life from society. She was raised by the top agents in the CIA, including the First Agent of the CIA, her father. Even through her life, she has been able to prove that she has a promising future in the spy world and because of that her father will do whatever it takes to protect her. How will her dad protect her when she goes off to spy college?
