Chapter 5
I woke up in the morning, got ready, and headed down to breakfast. I walked in, sat down with my friends, and started to eat. My friends looked at me worried but I just smiled at them and started to talk to them. After Breakfast I headed to my classes. The day went by very quickly but I was completely depressed at the end of classes. Zach had barely spoken a word to me and had barely glanced my way all day and Bex barely talked to me either! The only people who talked to me were Macey, Nick, Liz, Jonas, and Grant. They talked to me all day but Grant talked to me the most - which made a lot of people looked at us confused and suspiciously - out of all of them. I was walking around the school just thinking to myself when I walked into the library and I saw Zach surrounded by a bunch of girls who were giggling and smiling and moving closer to him. It was the same people as the last time except they had more confidence in themselves and thought they actually had a chance with him when in truth he was just using them to make me jealous.
I sat down on the couch trying to think clearly but all I could hear were all the girls giggling at all of Zach's jokes. The past couple of days all I've heard from the girls is how cute Zach is, how they think he likes them, and how they think they have a chance with him -I mean he may not even know most of their names for crying out loud!- and I am getting sick and tired of it! The urge to go over there and pull him away from them is getting stronger and it now takes all of my strength and control not to do it! I saw out of the corner of my eye that all the girls were moving closer to him and more girls were joining them and my anger flared even more. I wanted to punch a wall or better yet all the girls surrounding him. It doesn't mean anything, I thought, remember he is just doing this to make you jealous, he doesn't mean any of the things he's doing or saying, I kept reminding myself but my anger still grew.
The girls were moving closer to him now but he acted as if he didn't mind and continued to make them laugh and smile. Wow he's really committed to this plan, he must be really jealous, but why? It must be because of Grant not hanging out with him anymore but Grant is nowhere to be seen, he is probably facing Bex's part of the plan which is just like Zach's but with a bunch of boys and Grant is furious. Every time I saw him he was muttering something like, "Stupid boys, stupid plan. Wish it could just stop!" It was kind of funny until you knew what it was about and then you felt bad for him. All the girls were pretty much touching Zach now and my anger flared even more - if that was even possible!- and I couldn't take it anymore! I had two choices:
1. Go into that crowd of girls, grab him, and make a lot of girls mad at me and possibly one boy. Or 2. Walk out of the room slowly so it looks like I got bored and wanted to leave when in truth I was annoyed at how the boy I really like was flirting with a bunch of girls and most of them he didn't even know! I went with plan number 2. I stood up and walked towards the door and right as I was about to walk out it one of the girls suddenly lost control and kissed Zach right on the lips, hard. Zach pulled away and looked at me, but none of the girls were staring at him anymore they were all shooting murderous glares at the girl who just kissed him. I could tell the hurt showed on my face but I didn't care. My eyes filled with tears and I turned around and ran out of the room.
I ran down hallways and stairs while the tears started to flow down my face. I ran as fast and as far away from the library as I could. I felt like I had been betrayed. No, there were no words that described how I felt right now. It was much worse than feeling hurt or betrayed. I felt like someone ripped out my heart, stomped on it, ripped it up into a million tiny pieces, and burned it. I kept crying and I finally made it to my favorite passageway. I ran down it, leaned against the wall, slid down to the ground, buried my head in my arms, and began to sob uncontrollably. I heard someone walk up to me but I just kept crying. I looked up and saw Zach standing above me, staring down at me and I buried my face in my hands again. I felt him walk forward and kneel down beside me but I didn't care I just kept crying. I couldn't control my feelings anymore and they just poured out into my tears and sobs.
"Cammie..." I heard Zach say. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I pulled away.
"Leave me alone." I said between sobs.
"Cammie, I am so sorry." He said sadly, but I wouldn't listen.
"Cammie, please listen to me." He asked, but I just ignored him and kept crying harder. I felt him step closer to me and put another hand on my shoulder but I just pulled away again.
"Please just listen to what I'm about to say." He asked. I looked up at him, glaring, but I made the mistake of looking him directly in the eyes and the emotion and sorrow I saw in them took over me and I was speechless, "I didn't mean for it to happen, she kissed me, I didn't kiss her." He stated, truthfully, and grabbed my hand. I just looked into his eyes, in a trance.
"I am so sorry Cammie." He said, while tears still rolled down my cheeks. He lifted his hand up to my cheek and wiped my tears away. I was still in a trance and I couldn't speak. It took all my strength to look away from his eyes but I did.
"Cammie?" He asked.
"How do I know your telling the truth?" I asked looking back and glaring at him. He moved his hand back up to my face and caressed my cheek.
"Because I would never kiss her." He said.
"Why not?" I asked, still glaring at him. He opened his mouth but nothing came out. I sat there glaring at him, waiting for him to answer. After a while I got tired of waiting and I pulled away from him.
"Just forget it." I stated, harshly, standing up and walking away. I felt someone grabbed my wrist and the next thing I knew I was right up against Zach and I was staring into his mesmerizing emerald eyes. He moved his hand and caressed my cheek again, "Because I would only kiss you." I stood there while he continued, "Cammie, I am so sorry." Zach said. I looked in his eyes and saw that he was telling the truth.
"It's okay." I said. He shook his head.
"No it isn't. I went to far, I was blinded by jealousy and I wasn't thinking about how much what I did would hurt you I just wanted to make you jealous, I didn't mean to make it go this far, I am so sorry." He said.
"Its okay, Zach." I said smiling at him. He ignored me.
"Cammie are you okay?" He asked. See he's calling me Cammie, no Gallagher girl, not Cam, just plain old Cammie. I looked down.
"Yea I'm fine." I said in a surprisingly strong voice.
"No you are not." He stated, trying to look me in the eyes but I just stared at the ground. My anger flared inside me.
"Why do you care? It's not like I asked you to come here." I stated, harshly, looking back up at him. He looked taken aback and I could see the hurt in his eyes.
"Because you're my friend, Cammie." He explained. I snorted.
"Like I'm your friend! If I was your friend then you wouldn't have ignored me like you have and you would have actually talked to me!" I exclaimed. He stood there speechless.
"I thought so!" I spat angrily at him. We stood there for a while, as the tears streamed down my face and he just stood there quietly. I couldn't take the quiet anymore so I wiped my face, pulled away, and walked towards the entrance.
"Bye Zach." I said, as I walked away. I walked five more steps before someone grabbed my wrist, turned me around, and pulled me close to them.
"Cammie..." Zach started, "Look at me." He pleaded but I kept glaring at the ground. He put his hand under my chin and made me look into his eyes. I started to glare at him until I saw all the emotion in his eyes and all my anger vanished to be replaced by worry.
"Cammie, I'm sorry I ignored you so much, it's just I..." He trailed off.
"What?" I asked him. He seemed at a loss for words. I stood there for awhile but he didn't answer. I was getting tired of all the quiet so I pulled away and started to walk back towards the entrance.
"I was jealous!" He said, "I was jealous by how much time you were spending with Grant." He said. I turned around.
"Why?" I asked, he didn't answer.
"Was it because I took your friend away from you?" I asked but he just stayed silent, "What is it Zach?" I asked, annoyed. He didn't answer and I turned and walked away from him again.
"It's because I love you Cammie!" He yelled. I stopped and turned around.
"I was a big jerk. I was stupid, selfish, and mean and I don't deserve you or anyone. I'm just a horrible cold-hearted person and-" I couldn't take his mean words about himself so I ran forward and kissed him on the lips, hard. He froze, shocked, but he quickly got out of it and kissed me back. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer, and I tightened my grip around his neck. I tangled my hands in his soft hair and he wrapped his arm in my hair and kept one arm around my waist that pulled me closer. We kissed like that for a while and then we pulled away, catching our breath.
"Awww, it's about time you two kissed!" I heard from beside me. I looked over and saw all our friends staring at us, smiling. Grant stared at Zach suspiciously but I just shook my head at him. He looked at me and sighed.
"Ummm, not to be rude but...Cammie it's 6:15." He said.
"Oh." I stated. We had to go eat dinner with our mom.
"Well see you guy's later, bye!" I said, I started to walk away and didn't even stopped when I realized Grant wasn't with me.
"Grant aren't you coming?" Macey asked.
"No I'll be there later." He said, they nodded and headed towards the entrance. Grant walk towards me and I grabbed his arm.
"Come on lets go." I said.
