The next chapters are going to focus on each couple and how they spent their break with each other, starting with the cannons and leading up to ZAMMIE! After this story I will start a new story (I'll tell you what it will be about in the last chapter) and maybe some one-shots along the way. So, R&R! (This chapter is going to be NACEY.

Disclaimer: I am not Ally Carter, so the Gallagher Girls series does not belong to me.

Nick POV

So I was spending my vacation with Macey McHenry. No big deal. It was actually TORTURE! Quite enjoyable torture, however. Sure, I, Nick Carter, was a player, but there was something about Macey that made the world stop. When I am with her, I only see her, and I tease her because that seems like the only way to not embarrass myself in front of her. But now we would be alone.

"Nick! Get out of the bathroom already! What are you even doing in there?"

"I'm showering, Goode! Now leave me alone. Go prepare yourself for your big redemption with Cammie, Zachary." Hehe. Zach hates his full name. He's going to get back at me somehow later.

"Oh wait, now I get it. You're trying to impress Macey, aren't you? Well dude, you've got that civilian guy, Preston, to deal with. And Macey seems pretty happy with him. I heard they went to second base." Well, that's his revenge; he knows I hate Preston Winters.

"Will both of you be quiet? Should I get my British Bombshell over here to force ya?"

Macey POV

I helped the girls decide what to wear and fixed them up, especially Cammie. Not that she needed any, but she has to show that Goode what he's been missing. After that, they went down to Dr. Fib's lab to get some things for their trip to town. You never know when Solomon's going to say "Pop quiz."

I had to put much thought into what I would wear. Maybe casual would be best. Wouldn't want Nick to get the wrong idea or anything, right? Hehe. Okay, I admit it: I like Nick. And I was totally nervous about today. Yeah, Macey McHenry admits that she likes somebody and is nervous for an almost-date in the same day. What is wrong with me?

We all met each other and started the walk to town. One by one we went our separate ways. Nick and I were silent in the morning. We just walked through town and I thought of how he did not want to be here- or spend the day with me.

I had fallen hard for this boy. When he first came to Gallagher, every boy was all over me (aside from Grant, Jonas, and Zach), but not him. He barely paid any attention to me, and that is not because he had another girl to keep him busy. Slowly, I developed feelings for him, but it seemed that I was just invisible to him. And I am never invisible. Then, he left and there was Preston Winters. But now, being next to him, it feels surreal. It is just like sophomore year all over again.

Nick POV

The silence between us was killing me. My stomach growled and I realized that I didn't eat breakfast; I was too busy preparing for Macey. Some preparation, I thought, she isn't even paying attention to me. Look at her; she's just listening to music on her iPod. Well, if we aren't going to talk, I might as well get something to eat.

"Macey?"

"Yes?"

"Do you, um, wanna get something to, um, eat?" Man, why is it I'm always nervous around her?

"Um, sure. What about the diner over there?"

She didn't even seem to notice that I was fidgeting! I nodded to the place she was pointing to. It had a 60's theme to it and it was a burger place. She took I seat and I went to order something for us. Two burgers, a side of fries (I didn't know if Macey wanted some so I just got a side to share), Pepsi for me, and lemonade for her.

"You know, I've been scared to death," I blurted. Oops.

She didn't seem to notice; she was playing a game on her phone. (A/N: I know that phones do not work in the series but we'll just say they do in this fanfic.)

"Of spilling something?"

"Um, yeah." Spies are trained to lie, and being an expert means you can easily lie any time.

She started to eat her burger, and I was frozen for a second. Macey McHenry and I were alone in a booth on a technical-date. I felt like flying. I needed it to come together, so I tried talking to her.

"Are you almost caught up to the juniors?"

She seemed surprised in the most charming way and her crystal blue eyes widened. My cheeks felt hot.

"Yeah. I should be by next year, but I am hoping next semester. The young ones seriously bother me. They are all like, 'Macey! Can we have a sleepover tonight? We would be so happy if you could paint our nails with like, nail polish.'"

I laughed at her impression of them and felt more at ease. We talked for the rest of our meal, and once our hands touched as we both reached for a fry. Sparks flew through my body.

"So, how about we see a movie? I hear one starts in twenty minutes."

"Okay. I'd like that."

Macey POV

Omigod, we were going to the movies. That is like the most romantic place for a first date, kind of. Lunch was seriously boring at first, but then it got so perfect. Nick was seriously dreamy, and I knew that he either A- was being nice or B- had a crush on me. Please be the second one.

Halfway through the movie, I remembered something that Cammie told me when I was doing her hair. Try to find out why they are at Gallagher and not Blackthorne. I reached into the popcorn and momentarily, my hand brushed against his. I blushed like crazy.

"Nick?"

"Yeah?"

"Is there a problem at Blackthorne?"

"Why?"

"Well, you turn up at Gallagher a year after the exchange. I figured something was up or maybe this happens often. You know, maybe it's a me being the new-girl thing."

"Well, Zach should know."

"Okay."

*A LITTLE WHILE LATER*

"Mace, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

And then he kissed me. Nick Carter kissed me. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. It was official; this was a perfect day.

"W-will you b-be my g-girlfriend?"

I nodded. Okay, now it was the best day.

What do you think? Was it goode, okay, or bloody horrible? I was asked to write longer chapters so here it is. I was rushed because my friend came over so we can practice for our dance exam, but I just had to update. Sorry for the guys' POV, btw, I have no idea what they think. I asked my brother and he gave me a quick idea. Next chapter is Brant. So, review please!

Hugs and kissies,
