a/n: here is your awaited FINAL CHAPTER :D thanks so much for all the kind reviews and this was a fun ride :) but, please check out my new story "My Escape" if you'd like. (and ps: i got this chapter way sooner than i expected, thanks to no homework:D ) i feel kind of awkward saying the last chapter was going to be short (it was kind of long, though O:) and that this chapter was going to be long (though it's kind of short xD) heh. so don't mind that.
now, for the last time; keep calm and read on:
Cammie pushed her way through the crowds of people, searching furiously around for Zach. She quickly spotted Bex and Grant, then jogged over. "Hey! Have you guys seen Zach?" Cammie asked, pushing back strands of hair from her face.
Bex looked at her, "Uh, no. Why? Is everything alright?" Her eyes flashed a small look of worry.
Cammie just nodded, "Yeah, of course." She said, not bothering to go into explanation as she walked away from them. She looked out into the crowds, wondering where Zach could be. Macey and Liz walked up to her, "Heeeey!" Macey smiled perkily, taking a sip of her strawberry smoothie.
"Have you seen Zach?" Cammie asked, running a hand through her hair.
Liz shook her head, "Nope, why? Is something wrong?"
"Yeah, Cam, what's up?" Macey asked, waggling her thin eyebrows suggestively.
Cammie shook her head, "I just... need to see Zach, I need to tell him something."
"Something good or bad?" Liz wanted to know.
"Good, very good." Cammie smiled idiotically.
Macey's eyes widened then squealed, "what is it? What is it?"
Cammie just smiled again, "I'll just see you guys later, okay?" She said to her friends, waving goodbye and walking away. The night was getting rowdier as crowds began filling all the available spaces. She pushed through a few more people, then found him.
Zach was behind the gated railings by the ferris wheel. He looked up, watching the wheel rotate slowly forward and then pulling itself backward. Cammie walked slowly up to him, gripping her hands around the silver rails that blocked the people from gettin any closer to the moving carnival ride.
"Hey you," She smiled slightly, her heart pounding hard inside her chest.
He looked over after a second, then smiled a little, "Oh hey." He nodded, turning back toward the ferris wheel.
The two sat there in silence, not saying anything or even moving. Both of them just stared forward, feeling the carnival air send chills down their spines. Cammie turned over to him, "Hey Zach?"
"Yeah?" He asked after a moment, still watching the large wheel spin.
A breeze blew by, sweeping up strands of Cammie's hair, but she just met his eyes. "I'm sorry." She apologized sincerly.
Zach raised an eyebrow, finally turning to her, "For what?"
Cammie gulped, where was she to begin? She was sorry she acted like she didn't like him, she was sorry her mind was a mess, she was sorry she kissed Josh, she was sorry for almost everything, but what she was sorry for the most, was that she didn't just say yes.
She had to be stupid, and that never usually happened with her. Usually, she knew what to do no matter what situation. But when things came to feelings and emotions, she had no idea where to go or what to do. "I'm just sorry... for being really weird." She played with her fingers, not looking at Zach.
Zach let out a low chuckle, "Yeah, I kind of figured there was something not right about you." He smirked, "But no need to apologize. You're weird, that's cool."
Cammie let a breath of relief, "It's not that, it's just... I do like you, okay? A lot. But, lately, i'm just so messed up that I can't even think straight and I... I'm just rambling aren't I?" She smiled, shaking her head lightly.
Zach laughed, "Gallagher Girl, I just assumed you're really... hard to read. But you know, whatever, it's cool. Really." He smiled a slow, innocent smile that made Cammie feel less tense.
Why was she such a wreck?
Probably because even when you're a spy, you can't deny your feelings. And her feelings were really clear that she liked an arrogant but cute Zachary Goode.
"Oh," Cammie blushed, suddenly feeling embarrassed.
He nodded, "Want to go for a ride?" He asked, gesturing towards the ferris wheel. Cammie smiled, then nodded. "Sure." She agreed and followed him down the line.
-:-:-:-
"Wow, we're up very high," Cammie said, gripping strongly on the bars of their seat. She looked down, as their seat lifted and began rotating, suddenly all the people looked small than they really were.
"You scared?" Zach asked, smirking a little, sitting back comfortably and letting his head rest.
"No," Cammie rolled her eyes, "I just feel... really, really queasy and... my stomach just feels unsetttled." She shrugged, placing a hand over her stomach, feeling it churn and twist up in knots. She wondered if the feel was from the ferris wheel ride or from being so close to Zach... on a date.
Zach leaned forward, looking down at the view, "Pretty, isn't it?"
Cammie nodded, "Yeah."
"So, what made you change your mind?" Zach asked suddenly, while counting all the heads he could see from his view.
Cammie turned to him, "What?"
"Why'd you all of a sudden want to say yes?" He asked, still counting in his mind.
Cammie stared at him, her feeling like it was racing at rapid speed. The were up really high, just sitting there, since they were waiting for more people to board onto the seats. She looked up, the sky was dark and thick with cool air. She leaned back on her seat, her palms sweating, "Uh, because."
"Because?"
"Because Zach, I really like you, okay? I just think you're pretty awesome and I... guess, I just realized it." Cammie said, not wanting to bring up her kiss with Josh and how horrible it was. "I feel stupid for only realizing it now, though." She sighed.
Zach shook his head, "no problem, Gallagher Girl." He said simply, obviously not wanting to hear anymore of her explanation. Then he smirked, "I'm just happy that I got you to fall for me."
Cammie scoffed, "What?"
Zach smiled, "You were the only one in Gallagher who didn't fall at my feet, but alas, here you are, falling."
Cammie rolled her eyes, "What was this? A game?"
Zach shook his head, "Of course not.I'm just surprised you liked me back."
Cammie felt a blush creep on her cheeks, "Yeah... well." She shrugged, letting her voice trail off.
"But Cammie?"
"Yeah?"
"What about Josh?"
Cammie's eyes widened in fake-surprise, "Oh, so you do know his name! I knew it!" She joked, slapping Zach's arm playfully as the ferris wheel began spinning quickly.
Zach just rolled his eyes. "Well, what about him?"
"What about him?" Cammie asked, leaning forward and pressing her lips against his, feeling her insides tingle and her heart pound. She felt like fireworks were exploding and the worlds were spinning and the she was floating. She felt amazing, kissing Zach felt amazing. It did not feel foreign or strange or even awkward. It felt perfect, like things were finally falling into place.
