Chapter 8
AN: Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I will try and do it as regularly as I can. These next few chapters will hopefully be a bit more interesting than they have been. Thank you! :)
Macey pulled her tank top over her head, so that she was just in her bra, pants and underwear. I saw Zach and Grant staring at her in surprise. After all, Macey's cup size wasn't exactly small. Bex slapped Grant's arm and he stopped staring. I glare at Zach. He blushes and looks down. Zach never shows much emotion, let alone blushing. I feel a sinking feeling in my stomach. Maybe Zach likes Macey, she's beautiful, funny and down to earth. I guess my dare from earlier meant nothing.
I can sense Zach looking at me. I keep looking at my hands. I really can't trust him. I'm pretty sure he's just a player; he wanted to kiss me for longer than we needed to and was staring at Macey in her underwear, he hasn't actually tried to establish an actual relationship between us. I decide to ignore him and give him the silent treatment.
"Bex, truth or dare?" Macey asks with an evil look on her face. "Dare, you don't scare me McHenry," she replies. She was in deep trouble. "Hmm… not scared of me are you? Hopefully we can do something about that," Macey says. Bex was really screwed.
"I dare you to make out with Grant," Bex raises her eyebrows, "Get going, you have 5 minutes!" I laugh but stop when Bex pulls herself onto Grants lap and starts kissing him passionately. They aren't dating but they're kissing as if they had been for years. As far as I was aware, Bex had never even got to first base with any of her former boyfriends. They are starting to get slightly handsy and are kissing very aggressively. On second thought, they are probably fighting for dominance since they are both extremely competitive. Everyone is just looking down at their laps, apart from Zach, who keeps on glancing at me.
"I'm not sure if you've noticed, but it has been over 5 minutes," Macey points out. Bex climbs off of Grant, quite reluctantly though. Grant, Zach and Jonas share a smug look and Macey raises her eyebrows at Bex. Bex smirks at her, "You're just annoyed you're not getting any action," she says. Macey glares at her.
"Zach, truth or dare?" Zach thinks for a moment before turning to Bex and saying, "I think I would like a truth please Bex," with a posh British accent, mocking her. Wimp. Although I am glad he chose truth because a dare probably would have involved me in some way, shape or form.
"Who have you liked most recently?" Zach seems to think for a moment before pulling his t-shirt over his head. I hated this game. Firstly, he probably skipped because he liked Macey and that would be inappropriate, and he has an extremely toned body and is hard to not look at, giving Zach a reason to raise his eyebrows and smirk at me. I just roll my eyes and look somewhere else.
"Liz, truth or dare?" Liz has a brave expression on her face. "I would like a dare!" Zach only seems surprised for a few seconds before saying, "Have you ever gotten below 80% on a test?" That was a dumb question. "Of course I haven't," Liz replied, with a bored expression on her face.
"Jonas, truth or dare?" Jonas doesn't hesitate to say, "truth!" Liz takes a deep breath in before saying, "Jonas, would you like to go on a date with me?" They both blush furiously and look down a their laps. "I would love to," Jonas says finally.
Just great. Not to sound like a bad friend or anything, because I am totally supportive of their relationships and all. But why does theirs actually seem to be so straight forward? Liz has Jonas, Bex has Grant (though she refuses to say she likes him and also points out that she doesn't need a man, I totally agree because neither do I). Macey has Preston (and as it seems, Zach). I don't know about myself. I don't need a boyfriend, I can 100% take care of myself, I am a black belt in karate after all. But it's nice having one, someone you can love and can make you feel loved. I thought that Zach was trying to be that person. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe i'm a bad judge of character.
I catch Zach staring at me. I glare at him. He probably likes Macey and is using me to get closer to her. He looks surprised. He mouths at me, "What's wrong?" I pretend to find the view out of the window interesting and ignore him.
"Cameron, truth or dare?" I want to scream into a pillow. Why of all people, did Jonas have to pick me. "Dare," there is a familiar sinking feeling of instant regret. But on the positive side, Jonas isn't the most scary person ever so I doubt he could think of anything bad. "I dare you to let Zach give you a hickey!" Oh my gosh.
"Is there no other option you could have chosen?" I complain. Jonas pretends to think for a moment before looking at me and saying, "Well, you can do that…. or you can strip instead!" I guess i'm not getting out of this one. "I would rather die!" I say. Zach looks hurt. I don't really care. He's hurt me too much to care and think too deep about his feelings.
I guess I'll just have to strip instead. I pull my t-shirt over my head so I am only in my pants, underwear and bra. Zach and Grant stare at me. I clap my hands at them, "Eyes up here boys," I snap. "Have you never seen a bra on an actual person before today?" Macey laughed.
I am not in a good mood. I'm kind of pissed at Zach so i'm going to choose him next. He is going to go through living hell. "Zachary, truth or dare?" He cringes at my use of his full name. "Dare," he replies. Bingo. Obviously I knew he was going to pick dare, so I already had it planned.
"I dare you to tell Mr Solomon that you got me pregnant," I say. The boys just laugh but the girls eyes widen, knowing how scary Mr Solomon can be. He is pretty protective over me since I am his best friends daughter. Zach was really in for it.
"Gallagher Girl, we aren't even dating, he is never going to believe that we had sex," Zach points out. I smirk (sadly a trait I have picked up from Zach). "You see, the thing is Zach, Mr Solomon knows that I wouldn't have sex until I was 100% ready, and he also knows that I am not 100% ready, so think about where his mind will go…"
Zach's eyes widen, realising what I was saying. Mr Solomon knows that I am not ready to lose my virgintiy, therefore he will assume that Zach forced me to have sex with him. Rape. There's also the added factor that he got me 'pregnant'. Zach was going to die.
Zach seemed to have forgotten that stripping was an option, and in this case, a much better option. He stood up and was about to walk out the door before turning around to glare at me for a few seconds. It felt good to hold so much power.
I 'forgot' to mention that I secretly planted a bug on Zach while we were kissing in the bathroom just in case anything like this happened. I knew I was going to make him talk to a member of staff and embarrass himself at some point, I just didn't know this would be it. I tell Liz and she connects the sound to the speakers in our room.
I hear Zach's footsteps and him muttering under his breath. I couldn't make out much but I heard little bits like "why….. Cammie…..this…me…why," and "rip myself….Joe…..dead…"
Zach knocks at Mr Solomon's door. "Hello Zach, what do you want?" Zach takes a deep breath. "I got Cammie pregnant," he says quietly. "Cameron told Rachel that she didn't want to lose her virginity until she was at least eighteen!" Mr Solomon says. He clearly hadn't figured it out yet. "I know," Zach says. It was at this moment that Joe Solomon, one of the best spies in the world, FINALLY figured out what Zach was implying.
"Zachary Goode, you are dead man," Mr Solomon shouts, "I can't believe you would be so irresponsible!" Zach looks down at the ground. "You made a promise to never hurt Cameron, and you forced her to have sex with you? You are a horrible person!" Mr Solomon shouts.
I felt that it had gone far enough so I quickly pull on my T-shirt and run down to Mr Solomon's office. Mr Solomon looks furious and Zach looks really scared but also sad. They turn to look at me. "It was a prank," I say nervously while doing Jazz hands. Mr Solomon looks between me and Zach before finally deciding I am telling the truth. He looks slightly less tense now.
"You're lucky you came when you did Cammie, I might have killed Zach," Mr Solomon say finally. Zach mutters something under his breath. "We'll go now, um, have a nice day?" I say.
Zach is already walking towards my room so I jog to catch up with him. "I'm sorry," I say, because what else was thee to say. "Why did I get such a bad dare?" He asks. I smile. "I have my reasons, ones I can't tell you though," I reply. "If that was an attempt at flirting, you are really bad at it, trying to get me killed," Zach says grumpily. "I wasn't flirting," I tell him.
We arrive back at my room. I sit on my bed and Zach sits on the floor on the opposite side of the room. He glares at me so I glare back at him. I could practically see him planning my murder in his head. I was definitely going to be targeted in future rounds. I hate this game.
AN: So sorry, I haven't posted in AGES so I am a little rusty. Please review and tell me what I can do better because I know there are things that need improving. I won't be posting as often but I promise they will come. I won't just abandon the story for years like I have seen other people do. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed!
