"Cammie is that you?"
I turned and saw Bex and Grant standing there, I then remembered how they liked to go to the park sometimes in the evening, apparently it's a good 'couplely' place to hang out sometimes. I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealously towards Grant and Bex, they were both so happy together, and I know Grant would never do what Josh did to me, to Bex. Any fool can clearly see how much he loves her!
"Cam, have you been crying? It looks like you've been crying, is it josh? If it is I'm going to kill that…" She angrily said as she sat down beside me, Grant in tow.
"Bex! No one's going to kill anyone" I interrupted, Bex did not look at all happy!
"Bex is right Cam, She told me what he did, and I think he deserves to be beaten up! No one treats me lil sis like that!" Grant said all defensively. I love Grant, and he and I have always had this little sister, big brother relationship. Though I don't think him going and beating up Josh would solve anything.
"Thanks guys, but killing or beating up Josh is probably not the way to go. I just don't know what to do guys; I mean should I stay with him and work through it? Or should I break up with him, I've been with him for a year and a half now; I've never gone out with anyone else. And for all I know there might not be anyone else at school who would even want to go out with me"
"Cammie, there are plenty of fish in the sea!" Grant said grinning widely, always one for the cheesey lines he is...
"Grant is right! Even if he did put it in such a cheesy way. What about that Zach guy, the guy you introduced to us today, he seemed pretty hot" Bex replied
"Hey!" said Grant in a whiny voice.
"But obviously not as hot as my boyfriend right here" Bex replied with a fake smile. I knew though that Bex did in fact think Grant was beyond hot.
"Wait, you meant smirk's a lot guy?" I asked
"Yeah! Zach, I think he might be interested!" Bex replied, Grant nodded in agreement.
"Zach's a player, the only thing he wants is to get in as many girls pants as he can, I'm sure the last thing he wants is to go out with me".
Though thinking about it now, Zach was really good looking, but no! There's no point thinking that like that Cammie, you know he's a player and the last thing you want is someone cheating on you again. Plus I doubt he's even into me anyway. And actually I shouldn't even be thinking about him! What am I doing, me and josh literally just broke up, well at least I think we did. Oh.. I don't know. I decided it was time to go home and said my goodbyes to Grant and Bex, and started walking home.
About half way back though it suddenly started to pour with rain, I hadn't brought an umbrella and didn't drive here in my car because it had been sunny earlier, and I wanted the fresh air. But now I definitely regretted my decision! As I walked along the path on the side of the road a car suddenly slowed down next to me and the window came down to reveal Zach. Just great I thought, exactly how I wanted to top of this already bad evening that I'm having.
"You look freezing, where you going? Get in, I don't mind driving you there" Zach asked
"What? No hey beautiful, anyway I'm fine" I replied
"Oh just get in Cammie, stop being so stubborn, it's not going to kill you getting in a car with me" Zach said
"That's debatable Goode" I replied, but did as he said because I was in fact very cold and wet. So I opened up the passenger door and got in.
"So, where to?" Zach asked the expectantly
"Just down the end of this road, then turn left and it's the first street to your right called "Gallagher road" I replied, and slumped back in my seat, today had been a long day and all I wanted now was to go home, curl up in bed and go to sleep. My thoughts where suddenly interrupted,
"Gallagher road, I literally live on the road just after that 'Blackthorne road', guess we are going to be close neighbours then" Zach said while smirking. That damn smirk! Why can't he just smile once in a.. Wait a second! Did he just say he lives on Blackthorne road, am I never going to escape this guy! He'd become friends with my friends, and now it turns out he also lives on the street right next to my house. Just great I thought.
After the longest most awkward couple of minutes passed, we then arrived at my house.
"Well, thanks for the ride Goode" I replied getting out the car, finally home! Bring on the bed.
"Anytime, see you around Gallagher girl" he replied.
Wait what? Gallagher girl? Hmm, two can play at that game!
"See you around Blackthorne boy" I replied as I walked into my house.
The rest of the week went by pretty quickly, somehow I'd managed to avoid Josh, luckily we didn't have any classes together. I was kind of relieved to be honest because right now I don't think I could deal with him, and I'm not sure how I would react around him. I hadn't actually seen much of Zach either, thank god. Just sometimes in classes but normally he would be sitting at the other side of the classroom. And then at lunch he would sit with us but we didn't really talk just us.
The bell went signalling the end of school, it was finally the weekend! The girls were coming over for the night, their way of cheering me up. Lots of chick flick movies and a tonne of food. We walked out to our cars and it was then that I noticed Zach leaning against my car as if waiting for me.
"For what reason do I owe the pleasure of your company Goode" I asked sarcastically
"Gallagher girl, you know you like seeing me" he replied in his usual cocky tone
"Gallagher girl?" Asked a puzzled Bex. Oh, I forgot they didn't know about his new found nickname for me.
"Zach here decided to nickname me that when he found out I lived on Gallagher road when he drove me home the other night" I replied, but then I realised I have actually told the girls about mine and Zach's little encounter on the street. I could tell they all were thinking the same thing as they were all giving me questionable looks and Macey was staring at me as if to say, later you are explaining everything!
"You really are full of yourself aren't you? Is that all? Because if so then we have to go"
"Just wondered if you want a lift home, clearly lot, see you later Gallagher girl" Zach replied, and with that he walked away. How peculiar, why was he asking if I wanted a lift when he was standing right by my car...? I really don't understand boys sometimes!
"Am I the only one that found that weird?" I asked the girls,
"Why would he ask me for a lift when my car is right here..."
"It's simple" Macey replied nonchalantly. "He just wanted an excuse to talk to you, probably wasn't expecting us to be with you, my guess is he likes you". I know Maceys the boy expert but that can't be right, can it?
"Mace, I really doubt that that's it, why on earth would someone like Zach like me?" I asked, though it was more of a statement and before she or Bex and Liz could answer I stated
"Let's go" and I got in my car, girls in tow, and we drove to my house.
