When Cam entered the school, Zack and Spence immediately joined him.
- And?, Zack asked excitedly.
- What?, Cam asked.
- With Gwen?, Spence asked at his turn.
- Nothing!, Cam sighed.
- WHAT?, Zack and Spence exclaimed.
- I told her about how I feel, and she didn't even reply. I knew that she didn't feel the same!
Suddenly, Zack had an idea that what had happened.
- Cam, where was Gwen when you told her?, he asked.
- At the table where we ate, he answered. Why?
- I'll be right back, Zack only replied.
Then he left the two stunned boys.
- I hope that he's not going to hurt her or something like that, Cam said.
- I don't think so. Zack is too kind to do a such thing, Spence replied.
He was beginning to understand what Zack was thinking.
- Come on, Cam, come with me. Class is starting in 5 minutes and Math class is at the other side of the school. We have to pick up our things now if we don't want to be late.
- Fine, Cam sighed.
He was totally heartbroken. He was thinking that if Gwen doesn't feel the same it'd be easy to get over it, but he was wrong. He was feeling a huge pain inside him. It reminded him a song he had hear few times:
"Sun is shining, the rain comes in
And I don't know what to do, Oh…
I don't know where I'm going or where I've been cos my mind is hooked on you
Words escape me and tears come down and day slowly turns to night
And I think of all we could have been,
I gave up the fight
And you don't (You don't),
Understand (Understand),
Girl you make me all I am,
But I'm starting to see, just how hard it can be, on my own
And I'm sorry baby won't you come home?
You said that we'd been defeated,
But oh I am so addicted,
Your love is all I need to get by
You told me that you and I would always be true,
But you lied
And your'e not in love and I don't know why.
No, I don't know why
The days around me and years roll on
And I still don't think it's right (Don't think it's right)
And I have so much love to give,
But I gave up the fight
Now you don't (You don't),
Understand (Understand),
Girl you made me all I am,
Now I started to see, just how hard it could be, on my own
And I'm sorry baby won't you come home?
You said that we'd been defeated,
But oh I am so addicted,
Your love is all I need to get by
You told me that you and I would always be true,
But you lied
And you're not in love and I don't know why
No I can't make it alone (I don't know why)
And I can't be here without you in my life
And so I ask you, why, you still deny?
And you don't,
Understand,
Girl you made me all I am
But I'm starting to see, just how hard it can be, on my own
And I'm sorry baby won't you come home?
You said that we'd been defeated,
But oh I am so addicted,
Your love is all I need to get by
You told me that you and I would always be true,
But you lied
And you're not in love and I don't know why
No, I don't know why,
Just tell me why,
Please tell me why"
("You're not in love", by a1)
The bell rang. Cam entered the Math class with Spence and sat at his desk in the back of the room. He tried to pay attention at the teacher and didn't remark that Zack and Gwen weren't in the class like they were supposed to be.
@@@
~At the same moment, outside the school~
Zack walked rapidly to the table he had share with his friends few moments earlier. He saw Gwen, still sitting on her chair, her head in her arms. He sat next to her.
- Gwen, what happened?, he asked softly.
Gwen looked up. Her eyes were all red and puffy of crying.
- I have all ruined!
She started to cry again. Zack put an arm around her shoulders.
- What do you mean?
- I love Cam too, but when he told me his love, I couldn't talk! He took it bad. But it wasn't my fault! I wanted to tell him!
Zack sighed. It seemed that he had to do something. He stood up.
- Where are you going?, Gwen asked.
- Back to the school. And you're coming with me.
- But I can't! Have you seen my eyes?
- Yeah. You have to wash them before go to class.
He took Gwen's arm and they entered the school. Zack guided her to the washroom. Since Gwen was the only girl in the school, she had to use the boys' washroom. She washed her face.
- Is it better?, she asked Zack, who was still standing next to her.
Zack nodded.
- Now, we're going to class. I'll try to arrange things with Cam after the course, he added.
- Thanks, Zack, Gwen said.
She hugged him. He returned the hug. And they left the room.

In the English class, Cam was sleeping, like about half of the students. Suddenly, the voice of the teacher, who had stopped his speech, awoke him.
- Where were you?
Cam looked up, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Gwen and Zack were standing in front of the class.
- We were at the other side of the town. I had to feed my rabbit, Zack lied. But it took more time than I thought.
- It's ok for today, but next time, you'll get detention.
- Ok, sir!
They both sat at their desks, Gwen avoiding Cam's look. He fixed her back few minutes, then drifted off to sleep again.
Spence passed a message to Zack, who was sit next to him.
"You were outside with Gwen, huh?"
Zack replied immediately.
"Yes. I wanted to know really what happened between them both"
"And what do she said?"
Zack took a piece of paper in his binder and explained briefly.
"Gwen's in love with Cam. Earlier, if she didn't reply, it's because she couldn't talk. She's very sad. When I came to see her, she was crying and her eyes were all puffy and red."
"Oh. We have to do something!"
"Sure! We'll talk about it after the period."
"Ok!"
Zack took Spence's latest reply, read it and put it in his pocket. Then he reported his attention to the teacher.
Gwen was trying to listen to the teacher, but she was totally in another place. All she could think about was Cam. "I've really all ruined", she thought. "Maybe not", a voice in her head said. "Maybe you can have another chance". Suddenly, an idea grew in her head. She smiled inwardly. "Yeah", she thought, "that's a great plan".
@@@
Cam awoke with a start. The bell had just ring. Zack and Spence laughed. Cam wiped the sleep out of his eyes. Then he got up, took his books and followed his friends outside the room.
- Cam, can I talk to you?, Gwen asked, coming behind them.
- Sure, he said.
Zack and Spence left them alone, but hid behind a locker to observe and hear them.
- I have one thing to say to you, Cam, Gwen said.
- And what is it?, Cam asked, having no clue of she wanted to tell him.
- I'm sorry for what I'm going to do, she said to a confuse Cam.
And she kissed him. Zack and Spence, behind their locker, shared a stunned look.
- Why did you do that?, Cam asked when Gwen pulled away.
- Because I wanted to do that. Earlier, I didn't say a word because I couldn't speak. When you told me that you were in love with me, it just stunned me! But if I had talked, you'll knew that I shared your feelings…
- Are you talking seriously?
- I'll never been so serious that now.
Cam didn't reply. He just kissed her again, in front of everyone. Zack and Spence exited their hiding place.
- Yeah! Everything's fine now!, Zack exclaimed.
- Err… Cam? Gwen? Do you know that everyone's staring at you?, Spence said.
They pulled away, embarrassed. Then they smiled to each other.
- Hey, the lovers! Are you coming?, Zack asked.
- Yeah!, Cam replied, taking Gwen's hand.
- And?, Zack asked excitedly.
- What?, Cam asked.
