Halloween was over. The morning light of November 19th shown in through Cammie's bed room window. Cammie rolled away from the light and moaned. Her head was pounding and she felt like she could just sleep forever, but of course all good things have to end. She slowly peeled one eye lid open and glanced at her alarm clock. 11:30 am. The numbers made her heart skip a beat. Cammie hated sleeping in. It made her feel like she was missing out, life was short and she didn't like to miss more than she had to. She sighed and snuggled deeper into the blankets and the warmth that they held. She felt sleep tugging at her and dragging her back into its embrace. There was a knock at the door but she ignored it.

"Cammie," the voice was soft and distant as she willed herself to fall back into darkness

"Cammie, Cammie…" Cammie lifted her head off the pillow and stuffed it underneath

"Camster!" she jumped and sat bolt upright in her bed, her eyes popped open and alert.

"What's wrong!?" she asked looking at her brother. He was fully dressed, his hair was damp from a shower and he was smirking.

"Victory!" he shouted raising an arm in the air. Cammie scowled and threw her pillow at his head. Grant laughed and dodged it easily. Cammie usually had a good aim, but she was still half asleep.

"What was that for?" Grant stopped smiling and crossed his arms.

"There is someone at the door for you." She shook her head and flopped back onto the bed.

"Tell them to go away, I have a head ache." Grant shrugged and turned to go.

"Fine, I'll tell Zach that you hate his guts." Grant loved teasing his sister, although he wouldn't mind telling Zach that if it meant he would leave his little sister alone. Yeah Zach was an okay guy, better at football than Grant wanted to admit, but when it came to girls; Zach was a 'one night stand' sort of guy and Cammie wasn't his usual choice. She was too sweet, too good.

"Grant!" Cammie jumped out of bed, her bare feet landing on the cold hardwood floor. She hopped over her pillow that was lying in the door way and thudded down the stairs in a very unladylike manner. She threw open the front door. He turned around and smirked when he saw her beaming smile. Her hair was messy and her face was clean of makeup, with dark circles under her eyes from last night. She was wearing a night shirt that finished at her knees. It was clear she was unaware of her appearance. Behind her blue eyes he could see a layer of sleep, but Zach was surprised to realise he didn't care what she looked like; she had a beauty about her that never seemed to fade.

"Zach!" Cammie tried to get control of her grin. His hands were shoved deep into the pockets of his jeans. His dark hair was tossed in all directions and she wanted to jump into his arms.

"Hey there Gallagher Girl," Cammie blushed at the nickname, giving the Zach the reaction he wanted. She looked down at her feet and then back up. Zach was pulling his jacket tight around himself as he tried not to shiver.

"You going to let me in?" She bit her lip and glanced down at what she was wearing,

"I don't know if that is," she looked back up at him, her face was innocent and pure "appropriate…" she whispered then bit her lip and a playful glint grew in her eyes. Zach chuckled as she opened the door wider and stepped out of the way so he could come in. Cammie watched as Zach looked around and up the stairs like he wanted to go explore. She smiled and shut the front door before she let all the heat out of the house.

"So this is where you live then…?" he asked turning around and facing her, a puzzled expression crept onto her face,

"Zach, you've been to my house before."

"Yeah well I wasn't looking at the house then," he stepped closer "was I?" Cammie felt her cheeks heating up so she hurried away and into the kitchen.

"Mom, Zach is here," Rachel smiled as Zach followed her daughter into the kitchen. He was handsome and sweet she liked him, he might be good for Cammie, he seemed good for Cammie, it was about time she got a new boyfriend, it broke her heart when Josh cheated on her daughter, and he had seemed so nice… but Cammie was happy when Zach was around, the past two weeks it was like they had gotten the old Cammie back.

"Zach! Good to see you again." she opened her arms wide like she was about to hug him, and then suddenly closed them again. Cammie watched her mother carefully and silently begged her not to be any more embarrassing than necessary.

"It's good to see you again too Mrs Morgan."

"Oh! Please call me Rachel!" Zach nodded and gave his most charming smile.

"Sure," Rachel placed a hand on her heart as the smiled at her, she had to hand it to him he was charming. Cammie gaged at the sight and gave her mom the go-away-you-are-being-embarrassing look.

"Well I have some stuff to do so I'll leave you two alone," she glanced at Cammie before adding "again," and scurrying out of the kitchen and upstairs to her room. Cammie and Zach were left in silence

"She drives me crazy," Cammie managed to say as she gave out a nervous laugh,

"Well she means well at least." Zach said with a smile

"Yeah, she does." Cammie replied looking down at her feet. There was an awkward silence which was broken when Zach spoke again.

"Cammie there is something that I have to tell you," she looked up again, her eyes wide and expectant. He stomach did a little flip at the intense look in his eyes.

"Yes?" she nodded

"I know that this might seem a little fast but I want you to know that I... I want us to be official. You know like your mine and I'm yours type of thing." Cammie took in a deep breath.

"You mean like boyfriend and girlfriend?" she asked hesitantly. The last boyfriend she had was Josh and that relationship didn't end well. Zach laughed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Well if you're going to make me say it, yes, like boyfriend and girlfriend." The two stood there staring at each other for a moment.

"I guess it's not all that sudden, it's been like two weeks or something right?" Cammie mumbled to herself. She wanted to say yes but at the same time she wasn't sure if she was ready, but then she also didn't want to ruin her chances with Zach. She was totally head over heels for him and seeing him stood there waiting for her answer made her feelings intensify. But feelings are fragile; do you want your heart broken again? Do you want to be hurt the way you were before? Zach is a player isn't he, what makes you think you are any different to any f the others?

She turned around to she would have to look at him anymore.

"I want to Zach, but don't if I can trust you." the hurt on Zach's was so blind and he was glad she wasn't looking. He hadn't even considered her actually sating no. It never happened to him and he didn't that Cammie, his Cammie would not want him.

"Why?" he asked he throat suddenly dry. She was silent

"What is wrong?" he asked harshly not knowing what else to say. He wasn't made at her more at the situation. This could be happening. Something inside of her shifted, 'We've all been played by Zach… that smirk that laugh, that kid knows he is hot stuff…' Ashley's words echoed around her mind as she tried to come up with a reason to put the blame on him, to get rid of the pain and guilt she was already feeling in her chest. She turned to face him again

"Nothing. I ... I just, what about Ashley?" his face went slack, and a look of surprise flashed across his face "Yeah, that's right, I talked to her," she paused, she didn't want to hurt him, she just wanted to justify her fear "I didn't believe her at first, but she's right isn't she? You are a player? I can't fall for some who will hurt me Zach." Cammie shook her head and laughed dryly to herself. If she really thought about it, it was kinda funny, she didn't have a very good judge of character, she always fell for guys who were destined to break her heart,

"Cammie, this isn't fair, you don't even know-"

"I don't need to know, Zach, I always fall for the bad guys." Zach opened his mouth ready to fight back, to defend himself, but he couldn't not when those words left her mouth. He didn't want her to let them go before they even started, but then, despite everything, he smiled yes actual smileage. Cammie stared at him; her eyes were glassy from trying not to cry,

"Why are you looking at me like that?" she snapped, she didn't understand what he had to be so happy about, unless he had been waiting for her to say no to him. Maybe he thought this was a joke. Maybe he was joking?

"You fell for me?" he asked, Cammie was taken aback, she hadn't meant for that to slip out, and really was that all he had gotten from the conversation? She blushed and tried not to get an annoyed look on her face,

"Were you not listening?" she asked coldly, he smirked at her

"You didn't answer the question," God he was impossible! She ran a hand through her hair,

"I don't even know you for goodness sake!" which wasn't true, she felt like she knew him better than anyone. He took a step closer to her,

"You still haven't answered the question," she pressed her lips into a firm line, she was avoiding the question, yes, because she was afraid of what her answer might be, she had only known him for a few weeks, how could she be in love?

"That's because I don't want to." She stated crossing her arms and not meeting his gaze. This was a silly conversation and she was not going to be baited into it. Suddenly she felt his breath on her face, it was minty and fresh like it always was, she hadn't even heard him approach her.

"I want you to." He said, his voice much harsher than she expected, it was like a demand and made her shiver. She still didn't say anything, refusing to even look to him. She knew what she would do if she did. She would love him forever if she wasn't careful.

"Cammie, look at me." she bit her lip to stop it from quivering, he was going to make her say it; he was going to make vulnerable again. He was going to take her heart and she couldn't stop it.

"Don't you care about anything I said?" she asked turning to look him in the eye,

"No, I want you to answer my question." Her face softened as she looked up at him, he was begging her to speak,

"I- I," his heart started to pound as she stuttered, "I can't." she pulled free of his arms that had somehow wrapped around her waist.

"Okay. I guess this is good bye Cammie." His voice was so cold it brought tears to her eyes, he couldn't mean that. He couldn't. But that's not what she wanted; she didn't want Zach to walk away.

"Zach, you don't understand, it's not you, it's just I can't-"

"I hope you find some way to be happy, you deserve to be happy Cammie." He said ignoring her last remark, she let out a quick sob; he turned to head out the door, not wanting to see her break down and know that he was the one breaking her. It wasn't meant to go like this.

"Zach-" she croaked, desperate to make him stay, yet not having the courage to move from her position.

"And Cammie, not everyone will leave you, not everyone has an ulterior motive. Some people may just want to love you because you ought to be loved."

"You're right," she whispered, but he heard her, "You're right," she repeated her hand came to cover her mouth as she let out another sob, "I-I do love you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry and I love you." Once she said it, she couldn't dream about taking it back, whether he returned the feeling or not it felt like she was being lifted out of a storm, the fog was clearing. Cammie's breath caught in her throat as he turned around to look at her. His face was an emotionless mask, it was impossible to know what he was thinking. He walked over to her again, there was hardly any distance between them. Zach hesitated for a moment before his lips hit hers. They were warm and slightly salty from her tears. He pulled his hands from his pockets and cupped her face. Her eyes were red and beginning to puff up. The tears didn't stop falling as he continued to kiss her, in fact they grew heavier, yet somehow he managed to taste the cinnamon like he had on their first kiss, maybe it was his imagination. Zach was the first to pull back, Cammie looked up with her big Bambi eyes.

"I love you," she whispered and closed her eyes waiting for him to say it back, surly he had too, considering he had practically forced it out of her.

"You are so different from any other girl I have ever met," he said, his voice was so full of emotion but she daren't open her eyes, she may see something she didn't want to "I have never felt anything for anyone, so why should you be any different?" her heart cracked, if he said anything else she would fall apart. She knew he would break her heart, why had she let herself hope. Cammie was so relieved that she still had her eyes closed, she was so shocked when he spoke again "I don't know why you are different, Cammie, but you are. I love you Cammie and I don't care we haven't know each other that long, to me it feels like I know all I need to know." Her eyes popped open. Had she heard him right?

He kissed her and that cinnamon taste came through again…

Cammie Morgan writes letters, I know cliché, but she does. Not just any letters, love letters. In freshman year Cammie had crush after crush, each one she could do nothing about, so she wrote love letters instead, letter she never sent, but she kept them, they helped her say good bye. She would list all the things that made her like that person then turn them into reasons to hate them, and then she wouldn't get her heart broken. But it's junior year now and Cammie doesn't write love letters anymore. This is a serious year, Cammie needs to grow up, but freshman year wasn't that long ago and the letters are still in a box under her bed.

Locker 323. Locker 323. Someone's hand slammed into the locker next to Cammie's head. She jumped back only to bump into someone's chest.

"Gallagher Girl!" her heart skipped a beat for a moment as she turned around to Zachary Goode, the Zachary Goodie looking back at her. His green eyes held a playful glint that Cammie had seen often, but it was never directed at her.

XXX

She felt sick at the sight of them so close. She smiled back though because Macey couldn't know that Cammie didn't like them together. They came over and sat down at the desks in front of Cammie, not next to her.

XXX

This should be made clear: Cameron Ann Morgan did not love Peter Knight. Peter Knight did not love Cameron Ann Morgan.

"Haven't seen you in ages," He said with a smile as she stood up and gave him a hug, her and Josh had become friends freshman year. He didn't hesitate to hug her back.

"Well, it has been two months I think." She pulled back,

"Yeah, well," she looked him up and down "You have changed over the past two months."

"So have you,"

"Figures you're a dunker," she said with distaste as he picked up an Oreo and dipped it into a glass of milk.

"And what are you? A twister?" she smirked and twisted the cookie into two licking the cream off. He gagged "That is wrong in so many ways." He said. She just laughed and finished off the Oreo.

A/N- SO THAT ISN'T IN ANY REAL ORDER, WELL IT IS, IT'S LITTLE SCENES THAT ARE GOING TO BE IN THE STORY, LITTLE TASTERS IF YOU WANT. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT OU THINK.
