Lovebug

Macey and Cammie made their way downstairs and to the door. Cammie tried to hide her disappointment as she opened the door to only see Connor.

"He's in the car, same with Eva and Brad. Macey you look beautiful as always." Connor said reading Cammie's face. Cammie thought he looked beautiful, "I'm Connor by the way." He smiled and held out his hand for a handshake. Cammie couldn't help but giggle. It's not everyday that you see 17 year olds shaking hands, and it seemed like such the opposite thing that party boy Connor Love would do.

"I'm Cammie." Cammie and Macey walked out the door.

"I know who you are." Connor slung his arm around Cammie. Was Connor flirting with Cammie right in front of Macey? But judging by Macey's smile, it did not seem like she minded it. Cammie felt uncomfortable. She didn't know anything about the people she was hanging out with tonight. What if this was all a trick? But Connor seemed so genuinely nice in his mannerisms. And judging by his unusual quirks such as hand shaking, putting his arm around people was probably an everyday occurrence.

"Zach, I'm taking your girl tonight." Connor hollered at the open windowed car, still keeping his arm around Cammie. Zach was in the drivers seat.

Zach half laughed throwing his hat at Connor through the window. Amazingly, he nailed Connor on the chest, "Did you take that up with Macey?"

"I don't want him!" Macey wrinkled her nose in fake disgust.

"Aw come on Mace!" Connor finally withdrew his arm from Cammie's shoulders and dedicated his attention to attacking Macey in a bear hug and kissing her on the forehead.

Zach reached over from the driver's seat to open the passenger side door, "See why I wanted you to come?"

Cammie smiled, not knowing what to say as she got in.

"That is a sick shirt." Zach said referring to her Bull t-shirt.

"Oh thanks." He didn't say she looked pretty. But he did compliment her. Zachary Goode was filled with mixed signals.

"Brad, Eva this is Cammie. Cammie, Brad and Eva."

Cammie turned around and smiled at them. Eva was undeniably gorgeous. Cammie felt super self-consience.

"Get in the car or else we're leaving!" Zach suddenly shouted out the window to Macey and Connor. Connor was trying to kick Zach's hat over his shoulder and catch it, "And give me back my hat."

Still feeling the burn of Eva and Brad's icy greeting Cammie had a feel that this was going to be a long ride.


"Hey, Gallagher Girl, wake up. We're here." Zach gently nudged Cammie's shoulder to wake her up.

"Gallagher Girl?" Macey asked questioningly as the backseat started to pile out of the car.

Zach gave her the nickname of Gallagher Girl as a result of a math and science experiment gone wrong. They both were partners in making an interactive ecosystem utopia, filled with many different kinds of animals they created. Cammie was in charge of making the birds: The Gallagher Birds, but as she put them on the project, they exploded as a result of over heating.

Cammie yawned and stretched, "How long was I out?"

"Basically the entire ride." Zach chuckled.

Cammie was embarrassed. Who would want to hang out with someone that fell asleep? They both get out of the car and everybody starts walking to the entrance to buy their tickets.

"You've never been here before right Cammie?" Zach asked as they entered.

Cammie nodded her head, "Never."

Brad laughed wickedly, "Then prepared to be sacred out of your mind."

Cammie bit her lip. What did she ever do to Brad?

"You'll be fine." Zach said as he playfully tugged her ponytail.

Just on cue a thunderous groaning voice called out to her, "CAAMMIE."

Cammie turned around to see an eviled eyed zombie coming towards her.

"How does he know my name?" Cammie whispered. But for some reason she wasn't scared.

"He must be a spy." Zach smirked as he grabbed Cammie's hand and pulled her to his chest. "Are you scared Gallagher Girl?" He whispered in her ear.

"N-no," The only thing Cammie was scared of was Zach.

"Good, let's go ride some rides." To Cammie's disappointment, Zach dropped her hand and led the group towards the rides.


"That was so fun!" Macey exclaimed as they got into the car. Cammie had fun too, but she was also dissapointed. Besides at the beginning of the night, Zach never did anything flirtatious with her. Making Cammie worry that it wasn't a date.

After about 10 minutes of driving in silence, Cammie turned around to see everyone asleep. Zach and her were practically alone.

"I had fun tonight Zach." Cammie said quietly.

"Me too," Zach smiled as he kept his eyes on the road. He grabbed Cammie's hand and held it for the rest of the car ride home.

Cammie was silently freaking out with joy on the inside.

"So did you do the homework for math?" Cammie asked immediately feeling like a nerd for bringing up school, but she was so desperate to find something to talk about.

"No did you?" Zach said oblivious to Cammie's self-consciousness.

"No."

Silence.

This wasn't how Cammie expected her first semi-date with Zachary Goode to go. Maybe that's why guys like him didn't go out with girls like Cameron Morgan.

Zach cleared his throat, "So the weather's been nice lately."

The Zachary Goode was so desperate for conversation that he brought up the weather. From the way Cammie and Zach with held conversations it was obvious these two shouldn't have been anywhere near each other.

Cammie's heart shattered. She was too distracted by her disappointment to answer Zach.

"I know. Bringing up the weather lame right?" Zach said, and if Cammie's ears weren't betraying her she could have sworn she sensed self-consiousness in Zach's voice.

She smiled, "No, no it's fine. I love cold weather so I'm kind of tired of the warm weather."

"Yeah, me too."

The pair spent the rest of the 40 minute car ride discussing everything and anything from colleges to bubblegum.

Zach dropped Macey and Cammie off at Cammie's house first. Macey said her goodbyes immediately got out of the car and drove off in her car. Zach got out of the car with Cammie and walked her to her door.

"Goodnight Cammie." Zach said as they reached her stoop.

"Goodnight Zach." She smiled.

"I had a good time tonight." Zach said for the second time.

"Me too."

Zach looked as if he was going to lean in and kiss her but, to Cammie's disappointment, he hugged her.

"See you Monday." Zach said breaking away from Cammie.

"Thanks Zach." Cammie said as she turned to open the door.

"Wait Cammie," Zach said as he grabbed her wrist.

"What?"

Cammie was met with Zach's lips. Zachary Goode was kissing chameleon Cammie Morgan. And the chameleon was kissing back.
