Chapter 8 – Figuring it out

Zach's POV (enjoy…)

I kissed Cammie. I can't believe I kissed Cammie yesterday. I haven't seen her or talked to her yet. But I did it. I finally kissed her.

And I enjoyed every second of it.

I know what you're thinking:" Zach, aren't you supposed to be finding that girl?"

To answer your question, yes. I'm still looking. That's why I went to school on a Saturday before my football game to place the note in my locker. She's bound to look, that is, if she's coming tonight.

So when I arrived at my school and opened the metal door to my locker, I saw the note. Ah, yes. Finally, a response to my requests for choices.

Zach,

I'm in 6 of your 8 classes. You sit next to me in three of them. You sit by me in all of them. You know me, Zach. You do.

Oh, and I'm in your homeroom.

Come and find me.

-Mystery Girl

I know her? What? Six of my classes, huh? I pulled out my class schedule that was taped inside locker and looked at it. I took out a pen and wrote down the girls in each class and who I sit next to.

Homeroom- Mr. Brown (Girls: Sophia, Liz, Macey, Bex, Alyssa, Beth, Kim, Gigi, Leila, Tina, Cecilia, Rachael, Eva, Courtney, Mick, Fiona, Abby and Cammie, Seat: In between Cammie and Grant)

Honors English- Miss Pillage (Girls: Liz, Alyssa, Cammie, Sophia, Kim, Rachael, Abby, Eva, Tina, Courtney and the rest don't matter because they aren't in my homeroom Seat: Next to Cam)

Biology- Ms. Della (Girls: Alyssa, Sophia, Kim, Abby, Tina, Courtney… Seat: Next to Jonas, Sophia in front of me)

Algebra 2- Mr. Kelly (Girls: Cammie, Liz, Macey, Bex, Beth… Seat: In between Cammie and Jonas, Liz next to Jonas, Bex in front of me, and Macey next to Cammie)

French 1- Madame La Fell (Girls: Cammie, Macey, Beth, Tina…. Seat: On the end next Macey, Cammie in front of me)

Gym- Mr. Cole (Girls: Bex, Macey, Liz, Cam, Tina, Abby, Rachael, Beth, Courtney, Eva Seat: No seats)

Study Hall- Room 304 (Girls: Eva, Alyssa, Courtney, Gigi, Leila, Cammie, Mick, Fiona, Bex Seat: Wherever, usually by Cam, Bex and Grant)

AP History- Mrs. Baffle (Girls: Liz, Bex, Sophia, Cecilia, Abby Seat: In Between Grant and Jonas)

Music- Mr. Gallfly (Girls: Macey, Cammie, Gigi, Tina, Fiona, Seat: I stand in the Baritone group with Grant and Jonas, Cammie and Macey stand in front of us with the Altos)

I was calculating (that sounds very Jonas-y) who it would be when I saw someone running down the hall towards me.

Grant.

"Dude, I've been looking for you! Whatcha ya doing here?" he asked.

"I could ask you the same thing." I said smugly.

"Whatever, man. Obviously, I'm looking for you." He said as he snatched the schedule out of my hands, along with the note. He read them over quickly and looking at me then with a goofy Grant grin.

"And you haven't figured this out yet?" He said in a duh voice. Now let me tell you something: Grant isn't the smartest person on earth. He's not the dumbest either, but he's just… yeah. So when Grant figured it out before me, I was mentally slapping myself.

"How dude?" I asked curiously.

"Zach, do you still have that birthday card from Cammie?" he questioned with a knowing smile.

"Duh…why?" I asked with suspicion.

"Pull it out." He ordered. I obeyed without complaining.

"Check the handwriting." He ordered again. I nodded and looked at Cammie's written note, wishing me a happy birthday and telling me we would be best friends for always. It was a prized possession of mine.

"Okaaaaayyyy," I said after I looked over the card. Grant held out the note, as if saying "Compare." So I did. They were the same.

"So…" I said. A bunch of girls I knew wrote the same. I don't see the issue.

"Check your schedule. Who do you sit by in all of your classes?" he asked.

"By either you, Jonas or Cam." I answered without looking at the slip of paper in my grasp.

"Which one of those three people is a girl?" he asked.

"Well, Cam, obviously." I said. "Actually, I don't know about you…" I teased.

"Shut up, Zach. Anyways, you know who it is." I do?

"Cam?" I wondered aloud. Grant rolled his eyes and slapped his forehead.

"Ah-duh! She's had a crush on you for about… ever. So go out with her!" Grant said before he walked away, without an explanation of what he meant by crush or why the heck he was here.

I took out a piece of paper and a pencil, and then wrote down my third and hopefully final note.

Hey "Mystery Girl",

I've finally figured out who you are. I just want you to know that I like you too. I want to see you today.

Meet me by the lockers after the game. We need to talk.

See ya there.

Cammie was in for a little surprise.
