A/N: Yes I know I've been gone for forever. There's really no excuse. I just hope you guys are still up to read this. Like I said in my other story What The? I will try to post every week. I'm going to try alternating between the stories, so just be patient. Please review, it honestly let's me know you are still interested in this story. Thank you guys, and I hope you enjoy!
Zach's Point of View:
But I'm going to take what I can get, because I will get Cammie to fall in love with me.
Cammie's POV:
I spent the rest of the time in my room.
Dinner was awkward, since I had to be across from Zach. I spoke only when necessary, and then excused myself.
Our parents were planning on going hiking tomorrow. When we were younger, Zach and I would race around our parents and then try to go to the top of a hill without our parents. When it was time to go back down, we would always end up getting piggy back rides from our parents.
I was feeling less and less confident about confronting Zach, there was no way I could do it.
I was pacing back and forth in my room, trying to think of a way to get out of spending time with them, there had to be a way. Then, it came to me, I would say that I wasn't feeling well. I could say that I was feeling dizzy and just wanted to lay down. They would believe it of course, since I never used that excuse.
I felt much better knowing that I had an excuse to avoid Zach tomorrow. I changed into my pajamas, and laid down on my bed.
I picked up my iPhone and put my headphones in. I hit the play button and allowed the music to transport me to a different place.
I must have fallen asleep, because the next thing I knew, the lights in my room were off, my phone was on the bedside table, and my blanket was covering me. Light was pouring in from the window, and I felt extremely peaceful staring out the window.
My mom came into my room a few minutes later, "Aren't you going to come down for breakfast, kiddo?"
Time to put my plan into action, "I'm not feeling too well mom. I kind of just want to lay down."
"Oh, well I'll just tell Zach to bring up your breakfast sweetie, so you don't have to go downstairs."
"No!" After a puzzled look from my mom, "I mean, I don't want to interrupt his breakfast just to bring me mine. I can go get some later, when I feel better."
She looked at me weirdly but dropped the subject. She then walked out.
I went to sit down by the window and continued to stare out the window.
A few minutes later, I heard a knock on my door.
I didn't bother to turn around, my dad always did this.
"Dad, I'm fine. I'm just not feeling all that well, I have a headache and feel a little dizzy. I think I'll sit out hiking today."
"Well I think breakfast usually helps get rid of fainting spells, and I've heard food helps with headaches too." I tensed as soon as I heard that voice. I did not think Zach would be in my room.
I turned around and saw him holding a plate of food. I felt blood rise up to my cheeks as I realized that I was in my pajamas in front of Zach, who looked especially good in his khaki shorts and maroon t shirt.
"Oh, uhh yeah. I've heard that too."
He came into my room and set the plate of food on my bedside table.
"Well, I hope you feel better."
"Thanks."
He opened his mouth to say something, but then he closed it abruptly and walked out of my room.
I went and grabbed the plate of food, and proceeded to eat.
My dad then came in to check on me, and told me they were heading out.
I heard everyone walk out and the door close behind them.
I finished my breakfast and then went downstairs to watch some tv.
After a few hours, I decided to take a shower.
I couldn't get him out of my head.
I knew that I had to talk to him, but how could I when each time we did talk, I turned into a puddle.
I knew that tomorrow, we would go swimming and fishing.
There was no way to get out of that.
Zach POV:
Dinner was awkward and tense.
I wondered how the adults didn't realize that something was wrong between Cammie and I.
I guess they always were a bit oblivious, and too engrossed in catching up with each other.
Cammie excused herself early and went up to her room.
I stayed downstairs and talked with the adults, it was always the same questions.
After dinner, they wanted to watch a movie, and I joined them for it.
Then Mr. Morgan asked me to check up on Cam and see if she wanted to join us.
I went up, and knocked on her door, but there was no response. Her door was open, so I stepped in to see that she was lying on her bed.
"Cam?"
No response.
I walked up to her, and poked her shoulder, "Cam?"
No response again. She was sleeping.
I took out her headphones and stopped the song. I placed her phone on her bedside table and then got her blanket from the foot of her bed and placed it over her.
She looked so peaceful in that moment. An Angel.
Of course she always looked beautiful, but at that moment she looked entirely at peace, there was no crease between her eyebrows or any frown on her face.
I couldn't help myself.
I kissed her forehead.
She shifted a bit, and I was afraid that I had woken her up, but instead she sighed deeply. Relief flooded through me and I decided that I should leave before she really woke up.
Just as I was about to step out the door, I heard her say my name.
I tensed, afraid that I was really caught this time. I turned around and found that she was still sound asleep.
A smile broke across my face as I realized she was dreaming of me.
I turned off her light and went back to the living room.
"Where's Cam?"
"She's asleep."
"Oh, that's surprising. She's usually always up at this time."
We continued to watch the movie, and I couldn't keep the grin off my face.
That night I dreamt of Cammie.
I woke up feeling better than I had in a while.
I had been looking forward to going hiking with Cam and her family. I thought it would be helpful in getting to be friends again.
I quickly got ready and went down to breakfast.
I was eating when Cam's mom came down and told us that Cammie wasn't feeling well.
My heart sunk a bit, as I realized that she was just avoiding me. She seemed fine last night, so she was probably lying.
"Zach, honey, why don't you go take Cammie some breakfast?"
"Yeah, sure mom." Perfect excuse to see her myself. To know if she really was feeling unwell or just didn't want to see me.
"Oh no, it's fine Zach. I'll do it, you sit down and enjoy your breakfast." Mrs. Morgan said.
"No, it's fine. It's no problem at all."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
My mom handed me the plate she had fixed for Cam and I headed upstairs.
I knocked on her door, even though I could see her sitting in front of me.
She had her back to me, which is why she probably thought I was her dad.
I saw her tense up when I spoke, and she slowly turned around to face me.
She didn't seem sick, especially not when she started to blush.
I was going to tell her that I hoped she wasn't going to skip out on hiking because of me, but then I thought better of it. I didn't want an argument.
I walked out, and went back to eating my breakfast downstairs.
We headed out a bit after that, and had an amazing time hiking.
When we used to go camping together, we would always go fishing and swimming the second day, so I knew that tomorrow Cammie would have to go with us. She didn't really have a way to get out of spending time with us, because she could just lay down at the beach.
I knew that tomorrow I would be able to show off just how much I had changed since we were kids.
I wasn't the little fat boy anymore. I felt comfortable in my own skin, and in just swimming trunks.
