Author note before I start the chapter:
Some of you seem to be confused by the plot, and so just to clear things up.
Plot so far:
Cammie: Is now a senior, along with all her friends, etc. She is also missing someone (the picture is one of the previous chapters) but that hasnt been revealed yet. She has, on Maceys terms (mostly) been trying to find the right guy for her, hence the 21 guys, and the date at the beginning. So there will be more revealed about her throughout the story.
Questions:
Cammies age?: 17/18 years old
Most of the characters are the same age, well the students, like Bex, Macey, Liz, Jonas, Zach, Grant. etc.
Zach:
He just got back from Prision (I ment prision I'm sorry for any confusion :s) which hes been at since he was a Sophmore for the known crime, stealing a car. Really pretty much all you know so far is that hes a rebel and a bad boy and hes got his little group like Grant and those boys. But there will be more revealed!
Macey:
Cammies loyal-boy freaked-never-gonna-date best friend. So far you've seen that shes pretty keen on not dating, reckon that'll change? ;). Anyway, recently her LITTLE SISTER, Raine was caught in a car accident with Maceys' dad. Macey also has a little crush (surprising i know!) on a boy in school called Charlie Wilson. More to find out! ;)
Just highlighting the main characters but you'll find out about others as well generally throughout the story. ENJOY!
Back to the chapter haha :)
Chapter 4
C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C:C - (A/N- short way to show povs. C- cam. M- mace. Z- zach. etc)
Another day, another Civics lesson with you know who, Oh joy! Except even better Cammie and Zach are working on their project together in study hall which is where Mr Solomon said the class would spend the next three classes, because it was a pretty big project.
I bet this day won't get any better. She thought sarcastically. Cammie walked out the front door to see Macey walking past again, this time her eyes were red and puffy, her hair tangled and messy. She wiped the tears away with the knucleof her index finger gently.
Cammie ran over to her, falling into step as her walked along the sidewalk, "Mace! What happened?" Cammie then paused, instantly knowing what was wrong, "It's Raine isn't it?" She sighed lightly, placing a hand on Maceys' arm trying to comfort her.
Macey sniffled, stopping in her tracks, turning to look at Cammie, "Yeah, She doesn't remember me, Cam" Macey sniffled again, "She doesn't remember any of us"
"Aw Mace! I'm so sorry" I hugged over, taking out a tissue and giving it to her, "Here" She nodded, and smiled sadly, wiping her eyes free of tears.
Cammie checked the time and saw that they didn't have long. "Come on we should get going" She pulled on Maceys' arm, but Macey didn't move, "What?"
"I can't go in there looking like this" Mace sighed, "I'll go home, I'll be there in a bit, don't wait up for me or your gonna be late"
Cam shook her head, "No. Here" Cam Handed Macey a hat she had, "Put this on, hopefully it'll work and we can get you cleaned up there"
Macey nodded, put on the hat and began walking with Cammie once again.
*At School*
"Uh, Cammie their staring!" Macey whisper-yelled, to her. Macey pulled the hat more tightly over her face, speeding up. Cammie caught up with her. Macey seemed to have her attitude back atleast.
"No their not it's fine" Cammie whispered back, under her breath. There were a few chuckles as we passed, but I'm sure they were just having a joke or something, thats common with teenagers, a good joke. The bathroom was only a few meters away, but ahead course their there, Bex and her puppets. "Come on Mace, quickly" Cammie pulled on Macey, and they ran into the ladies room, luckily not catching Bexs' eye as she talked to some other random people.
"Come on we have to be quick, no one else can see me like this" Macey said, gesturing to her smudged make cup and red puffy eyes. Ooh.
"You got your make cup bag?" Cammie asked, she was bound to, Macey doesn't go anywhere without it, not even the park.
"Course," See? She took it out and gave it to Cammie, "But be careful okay?"
Cammie laughed a little and nodded, taking it from her and opening it.
While Cammie looked through what make cup to put on Macey, Macey ran her brush through her hair, tidying it up. Cammie then, put the foundation that suited Maceys' skin tone perfectly, made her eyes have that smokey effect, with the mascara and eyeliner. "There." She paused, looking her face over, "Take a look for yourself" Cammie grinned, Macey turned her head, looking at herself in the mirror. She did infact look more beautiful now, and it was nice to see a smile on her face, since all she could do was cry this morning.
"Thanks Cam! Your amazing" She smiled, "Omg! Class, We have to get to class. Shit! Come on" She packed away her makecup and put it all away in her bag, and we off they went, running down the halls to our classes. Unfortunately, Cammies' class was indeed Civics, and it was in study hall, on the other side of the building. She was literally out of breath once she got to the door.
Cammie knocked quietly, then opened it to literally everyones eyes on her, Now this isn't something I like, not at all. Please look away, PLEASE LOOK AWAY! AH! She spotted Zach, smirking at her in the corner of the room, and walked towards him, since everyone was in their pairs. But half there, she stopped and turned her head to Mr Solomon, "Sorry Mr Solomon" he nodded, accepting her apology. She returned to walking over to Zach, then sat down opposite him. "What have you written then?" She asked, taking out her notebook and pen from her bag.
"Nothing" Zach shrugged, casually. Cammie glared How can Macey not think hes a complete asshole? "Okay then" Cammie answered simply, rotating the open text book infront of him, and began taking notes.
After a few minutes of trying to ignore his stares, she still felt his eyes on her, beginning to think she might have something in her hair or on her face, and reached up to her hair cautiously, pretending that she was going to fix it. But Zach saw right through her somehow, "Theres nothing in your hair" She stated quietly, looking her in the eyes, she hand then retreated to the pen on the table and picked it up.
"Then why the hell are you staring at me?"
"Because I can"
"Can you? And where did you that idea?" She asked, then under her breath muttered, 'ass'
He chuckled, "Seriously, you really hate me don't you?"
"Yep" Cammie replied, "Now stop pissing me off and do your work, I'm trying to do mine" She bent her head down to the note book on the table, taking more notes and answering questions from the text book.
And once, Zach listened, he shut up. But that didn't stop his staring. By now, Cammie really couldn't bothered to tell him to stop or even talk to him.
*At Lunch*
M:M:M:M:M:M:M:M
Maceys' gaze followed Charlie as he walked past, she swore she saw him just flash a smile at her. eeeeep. Macey waited for Cam by her locker like she did everyday. Then Zach came up to her, "Hey Zach, what can I do for you?" She asked, he smirked.
"Give this to Cammie for me"
"Why don't you give it to her yourself?"
"Shes ignoring me" He said, handing me a piece of paper, probably his number.
"Okkkkkk" She nodded, then he walked off down the hall.
A few minutes later, Cammie walked down the hall, "Hey Mace, what you got there?" Cammie nodded to the paper in Maceys' hand.
"It's for you, from your admirer" She wiggled her eyebrows, handing it to Cammie.
She opened the folded piece of paper, looking at what it said, "Ugh" She rolled her eyes, opening her locker and putting it right at the back.
"Well what did it say?" Macey prodded, stepping closer to Cammie,
"Zachs' number and 'Call me'" She replied, with another eye roll.
"Oh come on Cam! Call him! It's obvious he likes you" Macey persuaded.
"No Macey, I don't like him, for a date, both people have to like each other"
"Hmm...I can see theres some kind of feeling for him deep down Cam, and you can't hide it forever, its bound to show soon, better not keep it trapped forever"
Cammie frowned, "Macey you don't understand do you?"
"I do, Cam, and I've been there. It all starts with refusal, then you start to like them, sometimes even by then its to late and you lose them, for all you know they could have been the one"
"Mace, if that guy was the one, they would have waited, knowing you had feelings, maybe even try and make you admit, what you can't admit yourself"
"That might happen to you, you know" She winked, "Zach might do that"
"No Macey just no"
Macey laughed, as they made their way to the cafeteria, Cammie shaking her head smiling.
Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z:Z
"Did you give the note?" Grant asked, as Zach pulled a chair out, and sat down. Now in the cafeteria.
"Well Cam, wasn't there and shes been ignoring me since Civics, so I had to give it to Macey, to give to her, but I really don't think this will work Grant. She hates me, why would she call me?"
"I'm sure there is feelings, Zach. Some girls just don't admit it"
"And how would you know? Zach faced him, eyebrow raised,
"Zach I might not be looking for deep relationships and shit but I've been there you know, even after a few girlfriends"
"A few" Zach repeated, laughing
"Fine, more, but heck were talking bout you not me" Grant shrugged,
"Yeah yeah, thanks for the advice thought Grant" Zach nodded,
*FREE PERIOD- STUDY HALL*
Zach walked to study hall, his empty book under his arm, as he pushed open the door, scanning the room. He then saw Cammie, studying as she was supposed to, he smirked, walking over to her table, putting his book down, and sitting in a chair.
Cammie didn't look up, she probably knew it was Zach sitting there. Peripheral vision most likely. "Well Zach, I didn't expect to see you STUDYING in your free period" Cammie finally spoke up, emphasising the 'studying' as she sat up, looking at him.
He smirked again, "Guess I'm full of surprises" He shrugged,
Cammie studied him for a moment, well until he interupted her with a wise crack. "Looking for something?"
"Your so fucking cryptic" She shook her head, biting her lip, but not in one those nervous, butterfly-filled-stomach-moments, oh no, she was just trying to figure him out.
"Am I?" His smirk grew bigger somehow,
"Yes" She replied,
"Well, how about dinner tomorrow night, you might uncrack my code" He winked, and stood up, taking his book. But just before he left, "You've already got my number, call me" He smirked.
He then left, leaving Cammie speechless. Oh Zach Goode, was as his name described, Good.
