Sorry this took so long! ( i dont know how long "long" is in the FF world, but it was pretty long to me.) I know the previous chapter wasn't so exciting, and you might now like this either, but I have better things planned! Sorry about grammar errors and things, but heres chapter 2! Hope you like it :)
I waited by the Grill, anxiously awaiting Zachs arrival. Whats taking him so long? I needed to meet Bex and Macey so we could finish our homework and then get ready for the party. Oh great, Another thing I get to look forward to. Finally, I let out a breath of relief as I saw Zach approach me.
"What did I do to have the honor of you taking me on a date? This is a first." He said smugly, smirking.
"Its not a date, seeing as Im leaving in 5 minutes anyway. I didn't ask you out, its just that I didn't have time to... Decently talk to you before." I swirled the lemonade in my can, then took a sip.
"Are you here to ask me on another date then?" He asked with a grin. "Because I don't date trolls. Or gorillas, or homo-sapiens named Cammie Morgan." He sat down in the seat across from me and then called over the waitress. "Pink lemonade please." He said, winking at her. The poor girl blushed and then went to go fetch his drink.
"Yes, I am, actually." I saw Zach do a double take in surprise. "Really?" He asked, the surprise seeping in his voice.
"Yeah. I am asking you on a date. But not with me." He looked confused for a second, and i took out the sheet of paper the girl gave me earlier today.
"A girl approached me today and told me to give you her number, asked if you were free Sunday. Names Liz. Good luck with that, by the way." I took my lemonade and then handed it over. Zach was still for a moment, but a after a while he took it. He was silent.
Finally, he spoke. "The one time you ask me to go somewhere. The one time. And you ask me out to go out with someone else?" The silence was eery. For a second I thought he was going to leave, but he didn't.
"Problem?" I asked, seriously wondering if there was one. I stared at him, confused. For some reason, I felt like I should be nervous.
He stared at me with a blank face. Suddenly, he laughed. "Nah Im just messing with you! You should have seen you're face!" He started cracking up. I rolled my eyes.
"I have no time for this. See you at the party." I stood to leave, but he stopped me.
"You're going? Its going to be pretty intense. Me and Grant gave some nasty ideas to Preston. His beach house is going to be packed." He said, still not letting go of my arm.
Okay, please, he is underestimating me.
"Yeah and let you have all the fun. Have you forgotten who Macey is?" I shrugged his hand off and then left, calling out, "The girl was really cute, just so you know."
~Hopelessly Clueless~
"Macey, are you almost done yet? Ive been waiting for hours!" I whined, groaning. Macey and I met together to get ready together, since Bex had bailed.
"Annnnnnnddddddddd... Done." She said removing her hands from my face. "Open!" She exclaimed happily, clapping her hands. I opened my eyes and couldn't believe what I saw. Im not a huge fan of make-up, so i never applied any, but what Macey did to me was like what the Fairy Godmother did to Cinderella.
"Oh my god Macey you are a miracle worker. Now come, on lets go! We should have left, like, 10 minutes ago!" I rushed her to get her things. She was wearing pink shirt with a black cardigan and white leggings, with silver flats with a flower on them. I let Macey pick my clothes, which may or may not have been a mistake. She chose a sort of lacy white tank with short black shorts. If you guessed already, it wasn't a very formal party. Remember its a beach house owned by Preston.
I was wearing my bikini under my clothes. You know, in case we wanna go for a dip. After another 10 minutes, me and Macey hopped into her brand new, shiny red car. Which I am so jealous of, by the way. When we arrived at the beach house i almost immediately regretted coming. TONS of people surrounded the house, and you could tell the house was flooding with kids from school. Macey, on the other hand, could not wait to get in.
"Come on, come on!" She said, bouncing out of the car and checking her make up. She grinned and clicked her tongue. "Fashionably late."
I spotted Zach getting stampeded by tons of girls, and mentally laughed at how much fun he would be having. I followed her out and into the chaos, and then onto the beach. After a while, I began mingling and watching Macey. Out of nowhere, she froze.
"Oh. My god. Cammie, its Preston! How do I look?" She asked frantically. Over by the house, I spotted Preston and his friends.
"Macey, even without the make-up and clothes, they'll be turning heads." I said confidently and reassuringly. If you saw Macey, you'd think she was a super model. "Go for it!" I said encouragingly. She smiled at me thankfully and then walked off towards Preston.
Wait, what? Great, what did I just do? Sure I might have helped my best friend with her love life and self-esteem, but i just got rid of the only thing that didn't make me look like a loner. I looked around for familiar faces, but unfortunately, there were none. Zach was nowhere to be seen, Macey was hitting it off with Preston, and there was no one else I seemed to recognize.
Awesome. Now im a wallflower. And for the record, I have no idea what the perks are. Distracted, I didn't notice when someone accidentally bumped into me. I lost my balance and accidentally stepped on someones toes.
"Ow!" said someone behind me. I turned around, slightly scared. With my luck, there might be a totally ripped guy. When I was fully turned around, I found not a scary monster, but a familiar (but gorgeous) face.
"Sorry! I dont know, someone just bumped into me and I- Are you- Im- Im sorry!" I grimaced and waved my hands, flustered.
"Its fine, no need to get flustered." He looked up and then raised his eyes. "Oh." He laughed. "So the coffee spiller is also a toe stepper too?" Suddenly, I realized who he was.
"Oooooooh, today is not your day, is it?" He asked, smiling.
"Oh my gosh I am so sorry." I covered my face with my hands, but then removed them when I realized I must look ridiculous. Plus they reeked of Macey's perfume.
"Are you purposely injuring me? Or is it just a regular thing." He straightened up, and I got a good look at his face. I blushed again. Id just like to throw it out there that I have never blushed, except for 2-3 times, Unless the situation was embarrassing.
"No, I swear, I-" I said, but He cut me off with his laugh.
"Relax, I was kidding. So does this girl have a name?" He asked, putting his hand in his pockets.
I smiled, half relieved he wasn't mad and half the fact I was talking with a gorgeous guy.
"Uh, yeah, Cammie." I smiled again.
He said something, but I couldn't hear him over the whooping, cheering, and yelling going on by the house. I rolled my eyes.
"Sorry, what was that?" I asked after the noise moved into the house, along with a few people including Macey and Zach.
"I said my name was Josh." He grinned, blinding me. "Hey Im gonna go check out what just happened. Wanna come with?" He gestured towards the house. I winced.
"Uhhhh, Im not a huge fan of the crowd. I think Ill just stay here." I started to leave, but he raised his eyebrows.
"Come on, you know you wanna," He bit his lip. God, do you know how hot that is? He didn't move until He finally won over. I grinned and went with him.
I mean, whats the worst that could happen, right?
