~Next day at school~

I walked into history and caught the eyes of Mr Solomon at the front of the class, staring intently at me. I couldn't help but think about the hushed encounter in the kitchen last night, something was definitely up and I was going to make it my mission to find out. Someone trying to get my attention next to me pulled me away from my thoughts, however.

"Beautiful? Helloo, anyone there?" I looked up to see someone waggling his or her hand in front of me, and turned to see Zach sitting in the chair next to me.

"What do you want?" I asked harshly. I stared coldly at him, but couldn't help but soften when our eyes met; those electric green eyes were just so hypnotizing.

"Wow Gallagher girl, harsh much, is that anyway to treat your favourite person" he said pouting at me, batting these puppy dog eyes at me.

"Goode, as much as I enjoy these little encounters of ours, I'm really not in the mood today, anyway class is about to start" I said dismissively, turning away to face the front of class again.

"Okay Gallagher girl, then how about about we carry this on later, go on a date with me?" Zach asked abruptly.

"Alright class, quiet down now" Mr Solomon said from the front.

"Not going to happen Goode", I whispered, though admittedly I hesitated slightly in answering. Hmmm surely I wasn't falling for Zach, I couldn't be, after what happened with Josh I wasn't going to let myself get hurt like that again, and I just know that nothing good will come from Zach.

"Don't think you'll get away that easy, I'm going to keep asking, because you know you can't resist this" he said smirking at me whilst gesturing at himself.

"Goode, Morgan, don't make me ask you again, quiet!" Mr S's demanded.

"Go ahead and try" I replied to Zach, flashing his smirk back at him.

~Lunch time the same day~

I sat down at the lunch table and Zach sat across from me.

"I'm never going to give up, not until you agree to go on a date with me" Zach said as I started to eat my food. I was about to reply when someone sat down next to me and slung their arm around my shoulders. I turned to see the last person I expected right now, Josh.

"Hey Cammie, can we talk? Josh asked me with a small smile on his face. I frowned and tensed up, shrugging of his arm. I didn't respond, but noticed Zach glaring at him. Josh looked confused and then a look of realisation flashed across his face "Are you two going out or something?" he asked angrily. I ignored him and eventually he gave up and walked away.

At that moment Bex, Macey and Liz sat down at the table and shortly after Grant, Jonas and Jake joined us.

"What was that about?" Macey asked, referring to a very angry Josh trudging away from the table.

"Nothing I couldn't deal with, don't worry" I replied dismissively, but Zach cut in saying:

"Were you just uncomfortable admitting to Jimmy that you want to date me?" Zach asked me. I rolled my eyes.

"Sorry Zach, but I don't want to date you and I wasn't about to talk about dating with my cheating jerk of an ex-boyfriend," I said to him. Zach's face softened once he heard me say that.

"Sorry Gallagher girl, I didn't realise. I wouldn't have brought it up if I'd known" Zach said with a concerned look on his face.

"Don't worry about it," I said half smiling at him.

"I will however get you to admit your feelings at some point!" Zach exclaimed whilst trying to change the subject. This caught Grant's attention.

"Dude, are you and Cammie dating and you didn't think to tell me?" Grant asked. Zach smirked and put his arm around me.

"Yes, we've been keeping it a secret, but I just can't hold it in anymore, Cammie and I are dating!" Zach exclaimed. This caused Macey to spit out her water in shock and left everyone at our table staring at us.

"Guys I would have told you if I was dating Goode here, anyway that will only happen when pigs fly" I stated as I got up, Macey, Bex and Liz in tow and we left the lunch room ready for afternoon classes.

I was walking home that evening, I enjoyed walking, the fresh air upon my face, it helped me think. I found my mind wondering to Zach, he was such as confusing person to understand. Most of the time he was this cocky, self-centred guy, but occasionally I would see this caring side to him. I realised though that I actually knew nothing about him, he just turned up mid-term out of nowhere, sort of like Mr Solomon actually.

My thoughts, however, where interrupted as I noticed out of the corner of my eye, a figure dressed all in black. I brushed it off, not thinking anything of it, but as I continued home I couldn't help but feel uneasy as the figure continued to follow the same route. I'm probably just being paranoid I thought. I could see a reflection in the window of a shop and I saw light shine of something on the inside of their coat, it looked like a gun… My breath hitched, surely I'm mistake, I found myself quickening in pace and getting even more worried as the figure quickened in tow. I was about to break out into a run when a car drove up and pulled in next to me, lowering its window.

"We have to stop meeting like this Gallagher girl," Zach stated. I was to busy to notice him though, I turned around to see the figure but they had disappeared, I was probably just being paranoid I thought to myself.

"Uh Gallagher girl, are you okay?" Zach asked worryingly as he stepped out the car and came to face me.

"Um yeah, I guess" I replied tentatively, I was still distracted by what had happened.

"Cammie, something is clearly wrong, you can tell me," Zach said as he took my hands, looking directly at me.

"Its probably nothing, It's just I thought I saw someone following me, I'm probably just overacting, it's just you see…" I started replying, but Zach's eyes widened in shock, though not because of what I saying…

A/N I wonder what's going to happen next?! Hope you liked itt, don't forget to revieww and tell me what you think! J
