Thanks to all of you! You guys inspired me to keep on going!
Cammie POV:
When Zach opened the door, I swear I thought it was Price and a random guy. But now that Zach turns on a light, I can see that it's definitely not Price. In fact, this girl doesn't have wavy hair like Price, but frizzy brown hair and dark brown eyes. She looks Puerto Rican and the guy is a tall, fit African American that wears glasses. I admit, he looks cute (even with the glasses), but not my type.
Zach's eyes widen as he says, "Mark? Ana?"
The girl, Ana, looks lost for words. "I-uh-we-um… hi,"
Zach shakes his head. "Oh, god, will you tell Ashley?"
The guy, Mark, says, "Please don't tell her! She'll freak out!"
I raise an eyebrow as Ana nods in agreement. "Whoa, wait, what's going on here?" Now, I'm not usually one of the gossip girls, but this is too confusing.
Ana shoots Zach a glance and then smirks. "So, Zach, what is going on here?" She asks as she nods at us.
Mark grins and says, "Yeah, Zach,"
Zach puts on a great poker face (or so I assume) and says, "Oh, nothing. I was just showing Cammie around, but I guess this storage room is not available."
I hold back a giggle as Ana and Mark madly blush. "Uh, we'll be going now." Ana says as she grabs Mark's hand and walks away; closing the door. Once they're out of ear shot, Zach and I burst out laughing.
"Oh, my god, is she always like that?" I ask Zach.
He shakes his head and looks at me. It's as if I'm drowning into those emerald green eyes. "Not really,"
I snap myself out of my thoughts and grin. "So, why did you lead me here?" I ask.
Zach nervously rubs his hand on the back of his neck, but stops and then puts on his signature smirk. "Well, I did come here to show you one of the old art rooms, but since we got distracted, we're losing time. If you want, we could come back tomorrow."
I bit my bottom lip and force a small smile. I don't know why, but I feel slightly disappointed and a bit mad at Ana and Mark. But wait. Why should I care if Zach and I spend some time together? I mean, it's not as if I care so much… right?
"Do you mind?" Zach asks me breaking me out of my thoughts.
I smile and shake my head. "Tomorrow sounds good."
He smirks. "Okay, then."
"Okay," I repeat and as he unlocks the door, I glance around the room. I glance up and see something weird.
"Uh, Zach," I say as he turns around.
"Yes?"
I point to the ceiling. "Why is there a huge hole?"
Zach walks next to me. "I have no idea."
I gulp. "Do you think someone tried to break in?"
Zach frowns. "Maybe,"
Then, I realize how stupid it sounds. I mean, if someone did try to break in, why this room? I gasp and say, "Better question, why someone would," I bend down to pick up the vent lid from under a dusty old book case. "Leave this and not put it back."
Zach grins. "Good job, Gallagher Girl."
I shrug. "I try."
Zach slightly pats me on the back. "As much as I hate to leave, why don't we come tomorrow?" He asks. I feel the blush creeping up on my face and nod.
"Uh, okay." We walk out and go our separate ways. He told me had to go change early for PE. I nodded and decided to walk back to the cafeteria. On the way there, I hear a girl throwing up in the bathroom and I stop. I slowly walk in.
I stop at the door and say, "Uh, are you okay?"
She nods and then glares at me as she walks out of the stall. "Mind your own business."
I narrow my eyes at her and cross my arms. "Geez, sorry for caring,"
She rolls her eyes. "Whatever," As I turn around, she says, "My name is Cassia."
I turn around and give her a small smile. "Mine is Cammie."
She rolls her eyes. "I already knew that. You're the new girl." I tense up at the new girl comment. She washes her hands and says, "Well, I'd be careful around here."
I frown. "What do you mean?"
She nods at the door. "The boys at this school, some of them, don't care about how they treat girls."
I immediately tense up. "What do you mean?"
She shakes her head and a glint of amusement appears in her blue eyes. "I'm not the right person to ask."
"Then who is?" I ask back.
"Ask Price. Ashley Price."
Ashley Price's POV:
"So, I want you girls to…" I zone out of dad's speech about counseling as Rich nods her head from time to time. I think back to how I found a way to get out of that room. I remember being locked in and turning on a light. I looked for an exit and decided to climb up to the vent and crawl out. Thank god it worked. The vent led to the girl's bathroom. I kicked the vent and crawled out. I gagged at the dust on me. I quickly washed my leather jacket and walked to my dad's office.
And here I am. I glance at Rich and see her nodding along acting like a goody-two shoes. I roll my eyes and my mind drifts back to Danny. I don't know why, but I'm still intimated by him. I remember the first time we kissed.
It was the last day of school. I was hanging out with Ana and Jenny, when Danny came up. The girls walked away and left me alone (very nice of them). I got up from the bench and asked, "So, what do you want?" We were still on bad terms. Ever since he didn't stop annoying me in seventh, I have decided to prank him and his friends, but then it went school-wide.
He seemed nervous. "Uh, well, you see, I was wondering if you're busy after school."
I was suspicious since we would usually start insulting each other. "Um, why do you ask?"
He took a deep breath and said, "Because, I want to know if you want to go out with me." I remember blushing and stuttering a sure (not knowing why). He grinned like a maniac and told me to meet him at the woods, near this old cabin. I suspiciously agreed, but we told no one.
When my friends asked me why he talked to me, I replied, "Oh, he asked me if I could tutor him for math." They nodded knowing that I used to never refuse people who needed help. I used to very nice, but then turned less friendly when High School started.
The next two hours, I was nervous getting ready, for no reason. I gave up and packed my shuffle bag with my extra clothes if I got wet or dirty. I put on my favorite dark skinny jeans and my favorite tank top. It was the end of our junior year. I told my parents I was going over to a friend's house. They nodded; trusting me. I got there on time and spotted Danny by the lake. I grinned and went over to him. I admit that I had a small crush on him ever since eighth, but it was only small!
Before I could scare him, he turned around and scared me. I jumped and he laughed. I maturely stuck my tongue at him. Then, I splashed him with water. We started a water fight, and somehow we ended up behind the cabin. He was chasing me and I hid behind the cabin. I didn't know he was on my left, because I was busy looking to my right, until he splashed me and put my hands up over me; my body being pushed against the wall; trapping me.
We looked into our eyes, and then we kissed. That's all. I felt nice, but also very weird, since we're usually yelling at each other. Is this what my dreams were telling me? Even my therapist said it was very normal for me; only me. Then, we heard voices. It was none other than Cassia and Ashley Rich.
"So, I want you to go back to your classes, and you to stay after-school for today. Both of your detentions start next week." My dad's voice broke me out of my flashback. Confused, but alert, I nodded.
"I am so sorry, Principal Stone." Rich said in a voice that makes me want to puke. Dad simply nodded and shooed her away. "Price, stay," I stop getting up and sit back down. I notice Rich's confused look, but she walks out. Geez, I wonder what new rumor she'll start. Maybe something like: 'Price Gets Locked in By Stone Cause of Being Horrible!' Wait. It should say Rich. Proud of my changing mind, I smile.
Dad shakes his head. "I have no idea why you're smiling."
I stop and grin. "If you want I can be moody."
Dad shakes his head. "Please, no!"
I laugh and he joins from the incident with the superintendant and my mom (inside joke). He stops and then says, "Well, I came here to tell you that I need your help."
I stop and say, "With what?"
Suddenly, we both turn businesslike. He pulls out a folder and gives it to me. I flip through it and see pictures of the student body. "Apparently, we have realized that there are too many kids, but few have really bad grades. Plus, this won't help since I've been working to get you guys into good universities and colleges for up to two years of a scholarship."
I stare at my dad. "You're not kidding?"
He grins. "Nope, but I need you to tutor those kids." He points to people in the photos circled.
I nod. "Yeah, but why?"
Dad simply smiles. "You got the highest PSAT and SAT scores out of your grade, besides Danny and Selena."
I smile a huge smile. "Estas en serio?" I say in Spanish, since my family is from Latin America.
Dad nods. "Yes, so you, Danny, and Selena need to tutor them. I hope you guys can work together to help."
I'm too excited to know that I got the highest scores (not to brag, but who wouldn't be so proud?), to accept the fact that I'm going to work with my enemy and best frenemy (Selena and I have been best frenemies since seventh).
"Ok!" I walk to my dad and hug him. He laughs and hugs me back; probably wondering why I'm so happy. I'm not usually like this, but this is an exception. "Okay, now get going and tell Danny and Selena."
I pout. "But why me,"
We let go and my dad gets up. "Because, I have a meeting soon and you're the only one who knows."
I shrug. "Okay, then, but can you write me a pass?"
He nods. "Sure." As my dad write the pass, I think of the great opportunity I have to go to Preston or NYU. Then, something hits me. Not physically, but mentally. I'm going to have to work with Danny. Oh, god! Why? Why did I accept?
Before I could tell my dad that I regret my decision, he gives me the piece of paper and pushes me out the door. "No take backs. See you at dinner."
I pout and my dad laughs. I mimic him and walk to my next class: PE. I'm sure fate is messing with me, since on my way there I bumped someone and again, fell on top.
This someone, the one underneath me, is none other than Zachary Goode.
Hey guys! I was going to update this yesterday, but I decided to wait a little more. So, was this chapter too dramatic? And aren't the secrets so, what's the word? Aha! So shocking! Plus, doesn't Ashley have a habit of bumping into people? Lol
Please review! No flames, please.
