I'm free Friday -Chapter 4
Cammie's POV
I can't believe I said that.
I totally just gave the whole thing away.
But he's a boy, right? Duh.
So… he's oblivious? So he doesn't know? Or does he?
Too many questions, not enough time.
"Hey, Gallagher Girl?" Zach asked using my nickname he gave me because of college I'd be going to in a few years. All girls. Zach's going to Blackthorne, which isn't too far from Gallagher. All boys.
Please help us.
"Yeah, Blackthorne Boy?" I answered.
"Aw, you two are using your pet names! How ah-dor-ah-ble!" Macey commented with sarcasm flowing out of her like water flows out of the mouth of a river. Except it was the mouth of a-soon-to-be-dead Macey McHenry.
"Macey," I growled at her. Her eyes widened with "innocence".
"Yes?"
"Shut up."
"Oh, Cam's getting feisty! Lay off when she's talkin' to her man, McHenry!" said Grant. Which earned a slap from Bex.
"Her man?" I looked at Grant. I'm going to kill that boy if Bex doesn't do it first.
"Aw, you don't like me, Gallagher Girl?" Zach asked in a faux-sad voice. "I'm hurt."
Well I couldn't just come out and say "Of course I like you, dummy! I put the note in your freakin' locker! Just ask me out already!" so I just ignored the dumb voice in my head.
"Zach, you were saying?" I prompted, hoping the conversation would drop.
"She didn't deny it!" Grant mumbled. Skin made contact with skin and there was loud sound. Grant winced. Go Bex!
"Well, I wanted to ask you if you were coming over on Friday again. I'm not busy. You can come over, if ya want." Zach said with a shrug. Did he just ask me out? I looked at Macey. She nodded.
"Yeah, sure... I'm free on Friday. Are we watching a movie?" I said calmly, but I was bubbling with excitement inside. My phone buzzed.
Im helpin u pick out ur outfit on Friday. Be home early, k? good. Now finish Ur convo and tell Zach u looovveee him. ;)
XOXO,
M
I looked at Macey and she grinned. I rolled my eyes. So in my planner it now says: Friday-
5 pm- began torture by Macey, Bex and possibly Liz
7 pm- Go over to Zach's
Lovely.
"Yeah, whateva. Just as long as it's not one of those dumb chick flicks again. If I have to hand you one more tissue while watching Dear John, I'm going to hurt someone. Most likely Grant." Zach said as I giggled. It was true; I made him watch those kinds of movies all the time. I didn't even like half of them.
"Alright, you can pick. But I choose the snacks." I compromised.
"It's a date, Gallagher Girl." He said laughing. Then he just got up and left, "fan girls" chasing him down through the hall.
But I just sat there with a blank expression.
"A date?" I said to myself quietly. I guess not so quietly, because Macey smirked.
"Oh! Cammie and Zachy, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage! Then comes a baby in a baby carriage!" Grant teased. And the four-year-old award goes to…
Even though Grant was being completely immature and I knew he was joking, I still blushed. And Bex still hit him, of course. But there was love behind it.
"Grant! Knock it off! What the bloody hell is WRONG with you?" Bex whispered/yelled into his ear. He just mumbled his apologies and went to follow "Zachy".
"Okay, did Zach just ask me out?" I squealed.
"I think he did!" Liz exclaimed.
Then we all screamed. Thank goodness the cafeteria was really loud, or that would've been super-awkward.
"OMG Cam! He so likes you back! Wait until he finds out about the note!" Macey said in a voice just low enough for the table to hear.
"I know! What if we start going out?" I asked shocked that I even said that out loud. I shrugged the burning embarrassment off and ignored.
"That would be bloody awesome! Cam, you soooo should! You've liked him for MONTHS!" Bex said. I giggled at her expressions. Even Bex can't mask her excitement for a live love story.
"You like Zach?" a voice asked from the end of the table were the boys were previously sitting. I turned to look at where it was coming from.
Oh, crap.
Jonas.
And that concludes Chapter 4. Read Chapter 5… it should be up soon.
