I have up to chapter 13 done. Please let me know if you like it, and if I should keep posting3
I bet myself 10 bucks it was Cameron, unfortunately I was wrong. It was a new unknown number, I open up the text to read:
"Hey Kerri its Zach from last night, how are you?", I had to read that text about 200 times before that sunk in. Howd he get my number? So I replyed, "Hey, just getting ready for school, you?" about two minutes after I sent the text I got one back.
"I'm good, I know your probably wondering how I got your number, well I stole it from Cams phone after he went to sleep, he might kill me if he found out we were talking, but I wanted to know if you wanted to go to lunch today?" Ok, this is just to weird. " sure, im out of class at 930" Was Cam gonna be at lunch?, Was it just us?, its way to early for me to be dealing with this. my phone went off:
"okay, Ill meet you for breakfast at the diner around the corner from your school at 940" How did he know about the diner?, oh thats right his best friend goes to school with me. "okay, sounds good ,see you later".
That was a good way to start off my day, now Im going to worry about what Zach wants until 930. I looked at my clock, 6:55, around 3 hours to wait, I cant almost deal with this, I thought to myself. I was worried about breakfast for the reason that Cam couldnt know we were talking, and I didnt know who was going to be there.
My humantities class went by somewhat fast today, which was shocking because sometimes five minutes feels like an hour. We did a scavenger hunt around the campus trying to find out things, such as who was the president of the school, and where the closest bathroom to the class was. It helped keep my mind off of things until she dismissed us and I knew where I was heading. I was completely dreading this, but not dreading seeing zach, he was super nice. I honestly just hate the unknown, thats like my biggest issue. I threw my books in my car, and headed to the diner, not sure what I was arriving to.
As I pulled into the diner I saw only zach at the enterance waiting for me. I took a deep breathe and jumped out of my car. As I walked over to Zach he saw me and started to walk over towards me and gave me a bug hug, "Im glad you could come". In my head I was thinking I really dont wanna be here, but what he heard was,"Me too, I havent eaten yet today". We walked in and zach asked for a booth in the corner of the restaurant, when he did this the waitress gave us a look. Listen lady we arent doing anything calm down. Sometimes I wonder what people would do if they could hear what I think to myself. We sat down on opposite sides of each other and stared at our menus.
We both seemed uncomfortable with the situation. I already knew what I was getting so I put my menu down and waited for Zack to make up his mind. Our waitress came over and took our orders and left us to be in silence with nothing to distract us from talking to each other, so Zach finally spoke, "so your probably wondering why I brought you here, and why I didnt want you to tell Cam." "Well, yeah, I am a little confused" I admitted. He looked confused as he said, " I dont know how to tell you this, but I think your a really cute girl and I like your personality and I was wondering if you wanted to get to know me better", I looked up at him in disbelief. Was this seriously happening? I thought Cameron was the one who liked me. "Uhm, well Zach. your not bad looking yourself, but after last night it seemed like all you boys were insinuating that Cam had ssomething for me.", I wanted to hear his reaction for that one. "Well he does, but I am also interested in you, and I think we should go on a solo date, but you cant tell Cameron". Oh boy, well I mean Zachs cute, who wouldnt like him? I was more into Cameron right now though. Should I tell him and have him risk telling cam? ehh maybe, Im not sure waht to say, so this came out. "Well i dont like keeping secrets from friends, and he is interested in me, and honestly Zach you are very cute, but Im interested in Cameron. I think hes a really sweet guy and I would love t o get to know him better. I think right now me and you should just stay friends." He smiled at me as I said this I couldnt figure out why, "Well Im glad you feel this way." Uhm Hello? did I just miss something,"uhm, why?". "Well Kerri, Cameron doesnt know about breakfast, but I was testing you. I would really appreciate you not telling him I did this, but I had to do this because Cameron is one of my best friends, and the guys and I love you for himm and think your a really cool girl, like you could chill with us and be fine, which is nice since were going to be here for a little while." I still didnt get the point, "and? you tested me?". Zach looked guilty, " well not nesecairlly a test but to see how you would handle yourself, because Cameron hasnt stopped talking about you since he spilt coffee on you, and after we went bowling, adn we swear we herd your name in his sleep" he said with a giggle. I still was a little confused with this, "so your making sure Im not using cam and wont leave him if someone else comes along?" "thats pretty much it, he has lost girls to me before, so I figured before he got too attached to you, I could see if you were for real". I appreciated Zach on his honesty, and I mglad I proved him right.
"Well yeah, Im pretty real, and I do like Cameron, but if you tell him that Ill hurt you", I said with a smile. Zach nodded "I might mention that you looked interested last night or something, but Im glad you do really like him, you seem like a good girl for him, and he deserves one by now". So the boys approve of me, well thats good. "Im glad you approve, Cameron isnt like other guys and I liek taht about him, and Im glad you were kidding because I was freaking out all morning". "I mean you are pretty and I do like you, but I like you for Cameron, and the way you got along so well with the group of us shows you cna fit in and be friends with us". Ahh, did Zach just say I was or atleast could be friends with all of them, Win. "Well I had a blast last night and I havent heard from Cam yet today, but I liked hanging out with you guys it was fun".
Our conversation went on throughout breakfast talking about the band, wahts going on right nwo for them, why their in new york for the next few months, and I got to get to know Zach better. Breakfast was nice and I could tell zach and I were gonna become good friends, and I felt liek if I had a question about Cam I could go to him with it. He did also admit that cameron has no idea how to deal with girls, so he goes to the guys with a lot of questions, and they all help him. As we got the bill, I grabbed it and went to pay and Zach wouldnt let me. These boys really do have some old fashioned ways, I dont totally liek that. I told Zach to let me pay but he pointed out, "your a non-working college student, what money do you really have", touche Zach Porter Toche. I was mad at him for using that as an excuse, Id somehow figure a way to p ay him back also. As we were walking out I did mention to Zach and asked him how I could return Camerons shirt without him knowing until later, but he said that Cameron mentioned to the boys how I have his shirt and he didnt want it back, and of course Micheal made some sort of comment about cameron being smart iwth his swag and nathan thought that was nice. Zach said I should keep it because it makes Cam happy that I have it. As we departed I hugged zach goodbye and told him Id probably see him soon, he said most liekly later today because he told me to expect a text from Cameron when he woke up, and he continues to tell me that if I ever need anything or to ask him a question I could text him and hes glad were becoming friends.
I got into my car not sure how to react to this breakfast. Well, for starters Zach was testing me? I only knew the guys for a day and already testing me? But then theres also if Camerons talking about me as much as Zach says he is, then I can understand because they dont want to see Cam hurt again. Then I thought about how Zach said Cam kept talking about me and that he had been almost positive he heard my name mentioned in Cams sleep, oh and the fact that Cam HAS FEELINGS. Well im glad that the feelings are reciprocated. I really hope that I get to see him t oday because then I can be flirty self without having to worry about giving him the wrong message. I think getting that coffee spilt on me was one of the best things that has every happend to me.
