Time for more GG everyone! Since this isn't 1st person, no split POV's since you'll be able to look into both their thoughts. Enjoy reading!

Cammie had already planned what she was going to do. It was simple, and probably been done so many times before, no one knows where it could possibly be started. But the plan, however unoriginal and simple as it is, was going to work as easy as counting to 3.
God, this works every time! There's no way that any boy wouldn't help a crying girl, especially one they think is hot.
Just at the thought Cammie rolled her eyes. She then walked into the bathroom, waited a couple minutes, and walked back out. Except coming back out, she was hunched a little and her eyes looked red and slightly puffy from 'crying'. She made sure to pass Zach, giving him the idea that she was helpless and would get comforting from anybody, and sat down at a bench not too far away.
Zach saw the dirty blonde hair girl walk out of the bathroom, but couldn't get a look at her face. When she walked pass though, he could see her baby blue eyes were slightly red and puffy.
I wonder why she's crying... well I've got 7 minutes before having to get to Abercrombie and Fitch, I'm sure I could get her to cheer up at least. I hope.
Zach isn't the kind of guy to be chivalrous, but he always had a weakness for girls crying, he always hated to see a young woman with tears running down her face. But he was really bad at how to go about cheering them up.
Plus, it was always a challenge for him to do so, and he would never willingly pass a challenge up.
Zach strode over to Cammie, and just sat next to her, all while thinking about how to go about this.
Cammie, playing the 'just lost her boyfriend over to her best friend' girl, pretended not to want anything to do with him. Unknown to Zach, she was playing him like a fine tuned instrument. Giving him a challenge he was sure to lose, but Zach is stubborn and took the bait with ease.
"Can you please go away?" Cammie asked with a sniffle and some bite in her voice.
Zach looked over surprised, thinking that she would be leaning on him by now and babbling on about what happened.
"I don't have to move if I don't want to. And I don't. But, if you don't mind me asking, what happened? Why are you crying?" Zach brought up sympathy for the girl, but knowing it's probably something utterly ridiculous, couldn't bring up much, even if she was crying.
There it is, the question.
To boys everywhere, when you ask a girl 'Why are you crying?', don't. It's a trap, and it could go on forever. But that's exactly what Cammie wanted to happen.
"I'm sure you don't care what happened. You just want to comfort the crying girl, whom you're sure would be easy." Cammie added a glare to her sentence.
Not the Morgan Glare that she has perfected though, a normal one, because if he got the Morgan Glare he would be running for the hills.
"Look that's not what I think. I think that a pretty girl is crying her eyes out, and shouldn't be." Zach laid on his charm and he saw, or thought he saw, her gain more confidence in him to trust him.
No one can resist the Goode Charm.
Ugh, if that's his charm, he needs some improvement. Though, I'm sure it would work on any normal girl, even some of those Gallagher girls. Thank God I'm neither.
Cammie put her head on Zach's shoulder and began to tell him what 'happened'.
"I'm sure it's really stupid to you, but please keep in mind that I never was the brightest person."
Cammie then made sure to eat up 5 more minutes, adding up to the other 4 Zach wasted to try and talk to her. She went on about her boyfriend who ended up cheating on her with her best friend inside one of the school's closets, and that she was walking down the hall because she was late and heard them. Zach actually dug up some more pity for the now-angry girl. I mean, who wouldn't if they found out about a cheating boyfriend with your own eyes with your best friend.
"I'm sorry about everything that happened, I'm not the best a guys, I'll admit that. But for someone to do that, that is just wrong." Zach spoke with certainty while looking down into Cammie's eyes, thinking it was him who made her look so happy. But no, it had something to do with Zach missing his deadline.
HA! Take that Blackthorne Boy!
Unknown to Cammie though, she actually produced small feelings for the boy, for even though it was just to make him late, he didn't try and comfort her.
"Thank you so much for listening, I'm sure most boys would just awkwardly sit there." Cammie stood up, "Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to get that cheating bastard a good slap in the face. Again." Cammie smirked and walked off, knowing that Joe and Abby were laughing so hard that they were most likely leaning on something to keep up right.
"SHIT!"
Cammie heard the loud curse word ring through the air and knew that he finally realized he wasted a good 10 minutes on a girl whom he couldn't see anymore. She went as fast as she came, and as though she was a ghost, and disappeared into thin air. And then, "Mr. Goode you have been compromised and lost the package."
Well, that added icing on top of the pissed off birthday cake.
Abby was waiting in her Ferrari for Cammie, as predicted, laughing until she was crying. "Way to go Squirt!" Abby could only choke out that much, but after a moment or two, she calmed down.
"Oh, man, how I wished to see his face when he realized he was out." Abby gave Cammie the comms unit to talk to Joe. He got over laughing just a bit before Abby, and could talk to Cammie normally.
"Good job Cams, you made him look like a fool."
"Well, Joe, aren't you happy it's not you anymore?"
"...Very."
It's true that when Cammie was younger she would trick and tease her uncle countless times. He was looking towards the day when she would no longer do that to him... or at least, just him.
The comms was back to Abby, and she also had to hear the lecture to all the girls on how they could do better.
The boys were getting the same treatment, but Cammie was happy with her imagination on that one.
On comms in the Gallagher's Headmistress office, Rachel and Matthew were on comms with their head hanged low. Rachel was sure that her girls were going to win, but when the last name was called she dropped in her chair while having to look at her smirking husband.
Then Zach's name was called, causing Rachel to smirk while Matthew dropped into the chair on the other side of her desk.
Then they both realized that Cammie was the only one that could get everyone out. They silently looked at each other and shared the same thought:
Now we have to pay both Joe and Abby 200 dollars. Next time we'll make sure to bet on Cammie.
