Sorry I haven't updated like I said I was going to…. I was going through a break up and they aren't my thing and writing a love story at the moment wasn't what I need so I'm sorry. ALSO see that MANY of you aren't happy about the short chapters. There was a reason for me doing them but I see that their making many of you unhappy so I'll make them longer. Enjoy….

Chapter5: Zach

I can't believe I agreed to this. This is going to ruin my social life. I can't walk into school with Cammie. She's a loser and I'm popular we don't mix. What will Liz think? Stop thinking about her Zach you'll distract yourself from the bet. My goodeness I'm gonna die. This car ride it such a pain she's not even talking to me. You make the first move Zach.

"So that test in math was pretty hard huh?" it really wasn't but what is there to talk about when your even friends with someone.

"no." Cammie said and continued to look out of the window. We sat in silence for another few minutes before Cammie spoke up.

"Why? Why are you now talking to me? Why are we even hanging out Zach? Why now?" she said in a rush.

Well I couldn't tell her the truth so I did all I knew I could do. I lied.

"I don't know. I was planning to…but things just got in the wa-" I was cut off by Cammie.

"Too important to celebrate your best friend's birthday .or should I say used to be best friend."

That just made the car ride awkward.

Skip time…

I dropped Cammie off after taking her the aquarium we used to go to when we were younger. She did talk or even look at me, the only time she did say anything was when i dropped her off at home. I got home fifteen minutes later and called grant.

(Bold=grant and italic=Zach)

"Dude how'd it go"

"Bad. She didn't even talk or look at me…..came we just cut off this stupid bet? We both know she won't fall for me."

"I can't believe my ears it the Zach goode giving up on a bet?"
"Yes."

"Well too bad; the bets still on."

Then he hung up. Well I guess the bet is still on then.

I couldn't sleep. i don't even know why but Cammie's words kept replying in my head…

"…..or should I say used to be best friend." I really needed to clear my head. I got up dressed and headed outside. I ran for a good ten minutes when I heard I saw a figure coming in my direction. It was Cammie. She had headphones in ears and her feet were hitting the pavement really hard. I should have turned around when I had a chance but it was too late she already saw me. She slowed down her pace once she was near me.

"What are you doing out me so late." She asked.

"I could ask you the same thing." I smirked.

"I'm serious Zach."

"I couldn't sleep."

"oh." She said looking at the ground. She did that a lot.

"You," I asked.

"Same."

It fell silent between us. Just like earlier…

"Look Cammie I'm sorry ok? I didn't mean to hurt you in any way. It just when your brother umm.." I trailed off. This was a topic I did like to talk about.

"When my brother what Zach?" she asked in a small voice.

I signed." When you brother died Cammie I couldn't…. I just couldn't be around you."

"Why?"

"Because you reminded me so such of him cam," I took a step closer to her a took her hand in mine. Why the sudden soft side you may ask? Well when your best friend dies not even a year ago this happens.

She took a step back, making us loose our touch.

"Why didn't you just tell me that?"

"You sure are asking a lot of questions today Cammie." I said sarcastically; trying to light up the mood…I guess it didn't work. Cammie started walking in the direction she came.

" Cammie wait! Wait!" I said. i grabbed her arm because she kept walking away.

"Let me go Zach." She said pulling her arm out of my reach. I wasn't about to let another person walk out of my life. Not again.

"No. I'm sorry Cammie. I'm s-" I stopped mid- sentence because next thing I knew Cammie was holding onto me for dear life, crying.

"I miss him Zach." She said while sobbing into my shirt.

"I do to cam. I do too." I held to me, letting her cry. I couldn't back out of this bet now I was in too deep.

AN: I was going to stop it here but you guys want the chapter to be longer soooo…..

Skip time (Monday morning at school)….

Cam and I haven't talked sense the night she cried. I was starting to think she wasn't even going to come to school until I saw her at lunch. She sat at her usual table by herself; I'm guessing Macey wasn't here today. I had to admit she looked really bad. Her eyes were bloodshot red like she was just crying, she shirt was rankled and her hair looked like bed head; not her best look it you ask me.

"Yo Zach what sup with Cammie. She looks like a mess." My friend Jonas asked. Liz and him used to date but officially broke up over the summer.

I just shrugged my shoulders, not looking over at her.

"Dude you might want to save you girl." Grant said, taking a seat at the table.

"What do you mean?" I looked you at him to see him shoving his face with school pizza

"She about to get killed by you girlfriend zachy," My other friend josh said making kissy noises. I glared at him and he returned a smirk.

"Liz isn't my girlfriend." I said still not looking at Cammie.

"She will be after she takes out Cammie dude." Nick said coming to the table with his girlfriend DeeDee.

"What!" I said I looked over at cam's table to see Liz and her group towering over Cammie…
