It had been almost 2 weeks since Zach asked Cammie to be his girlfriend. Nothing had changed. He was still flirtatious with Cammie during class but he never even spoke to her outside of class. The flirty snap chats that he used to send her were gone. It was like it was a middle school relationship-except nobody even knew they were going out. And Cammie, too sad and confused to mention it found herself tearing herself apart.
So Cammie suffered in silence.
Josh, a sweet boy that sat behind her in math (and next to Zach) noticed that something was up. As the bell rang Josh spoke, "Hey Cammie wait up."
Zach, who normally bolted out of his seat at the bell drifted behind.
Cammie cleared her throat, noticing Zach watching her every move should she make him jealous?, "Hey Josh what's up?"
"I noticed that-" Josh had a look of sincere concern on his face, but Cammie could not stand to hear it. If she did, she would break down. So she stopped him. By grabbing his hand.
"Wha?" Josh started.
"Nothing it's just that, um, I don't really want to talk about it," Cammie whispered lowly.
"Ok, well, I was also wondering if you wanted to go out with me tonight. Maybe get your mind off whatever's bugging you."
Cammie smiled, "That sounds fun."
Josh's look of excitement instantly made her feel bad. She wasn't the type of person to use someone. But then again, she did want o take her mind off of Zach.
"Great, I'll text you the details after I come up with an amazingly awesome night."
"Okay, see you then." She smiled, but her smile faded as she locked eyes with Zach. Josh walked off, oblivious to the tension.
Cammie had so many questions to ask him and things to say to him. But she left things unsaid as she tried to hide her emotions when she walked away from him.
She thought she was walking away from him until she noticed he fell into step with her.
"You look pretty today Cammie." His flirtatious ways were gone. He said it with all seriousness.
Cammie felt her breath catch in her throat, "Thanks."
He continued walking with her, "I know Jimmy thought you were pretty today too."
Cammie bit her lip.
"You know we're doubling tonight?"
"What?" Cammie choked out.
"Yeah, Jimmy and I are friends."
"You don't even know his name," Cammie felt sick.
"That's what you think." He smirked.
"Who are you going with?" Cammie felt her self consciousness slip out.
"I don't know yet; I used to have a standing date with someone, but apparently she's occupied tonight."
"Zach-"
"No, no it's fine Cammie. No hard feelings really."
"You never even acted like a boyfriend Zach! It's been two weeks and you've barely even talked to me! Why is that?"
Zach sighed, "It's my senior year, Cammie."
Cammie shot him a glare and started walking away, "Whatever Zach."
