Chapter 2
A/N: Here you are readers! Chapter 2! I'm posting this because I might not have a chance for the next 2 weeks. Hehehe, sorry. Have fun reading! Thanks for the reviews!
I walked into our suite and no one was awake. That was until I closed the door, Bex bolted right up on her bed
"And where have you been, Cammie?" Bex whispered, soft enough for just me to hear
"Just went on a walk around. I couldn't sleep" I said and headed to the bathroom
"Are you sure you weren't on a romantic rendezvous with one of your boyfriends?"
"Zach's not my boyfriend!"
"I never said he was" Bex said with a sly grin "So why were you with Zach?"
"I don't know, he was just there"
"Do you think he's stalking you?" Liz said, fully awake which made us turn our heads
"I don't think so. It depends on what he's wearing" Macey said, like she and Liz were a part of our conversation the whole time and they hadn't been sleeping moments ago
"He just came from a jog" I said and sat on the floor as they did the same
"Was he sweaty?" Bex asked
"Yeah"
"Do you think he dropped some on you? We could analyze it to see if it was natural or fake sweat so you would think he really went jogging" Liz said as her eyes lit up, as if sweat was the most interesting thing ever
"You do know it's possible he really was just out for a run, right?" Macey said
"So what is it? Was he out for a run or was he spying on Cammie?" Liz said as she peered at Macey
"As much as I'd want him to spy on Cammie and seem interested, he was probably just out for a jog" Macey verified
"Wait, there's more" I admitted.
As I told them what happened, their reactions turned from neutral, to worried, then to confused/happy
"What does that mean?" Liz asked Macey
"He's been stalking her and knows every part of her life?" Macey said, with an eyebrow raised
"Be serious, Macey, he might as well be following her or be using her as a honeypot" Bex said, her voice slightly raised
"He's not afraid to be with Cammie." Macey said, shrugging her shoulders
"It can't possibly be that simple" Liz said, taking notes. Don't ask me how you can take notes on something like that. It's Liz, if it's something she can learn, she can take notes.
"That's nice and all, but there's no reason for them to be together in the middle of the night" Bex inserted, her eyebrows raised. She had a point, no one could argue with that.
"It's so romantic! Cammie and Zach, having secret meetings, which is probably against a few school rules" Liz swooned
"Kind of cliché actually" Macey said, sounding bored "I mean, both of you are spies, you should at least try to spice it up somehow"
"How?" Liz said, her eyebrows furrowed
"I don't know; maybe have a date while trying to save the world? Trash Josh's house? Rob the U.S. mint?" Macey offered
"How about something that's not illegal and won't put them behind bars" Bex said
"Hey, if you don't get caught, you won't have to go to prison" Macey said with a shrug
Liz started rotating her finger at the side of her head as she exchanged looks with Bex
"The sun's up, we should be getting ready for classes" I said, realizing it was the first time I had spoken since I told them what happened. I stood up and walked to the bathroom, something felt different, like Zach knew something. Something about me.
I was brushing my hair as Macey finally finished getting dressed. She always took the longest to prepare so she was often last to leave the room. Bex and Liz went to the dining hall. Macey took a second glance as she saw me sitting on bed.
"Cammie, what are you still doing here?" She said walking closer to my bed and sat next to me
"I don't know, I feel like there's something I'm missing" I said, setting the brush down
"Why do you say that?"
"I don't know. He's just always there. When I look his direction, I catch his gaze directed to me. When I see him or talk to him, he has this smile. Like a smile that he knows something I don't."
"Goodness, Cammie." She said, smirking as she shook her head
"Why? What is it?"
"Isn't it obvious? No one could be that dense"
"What? Tell me!"
"I don't have the right to take your ignorance away from you" She said as she stood up "Come on, I'm pretty sure you're starving"
As if on command my stomach growled, rather loudly. I smiled and stood up. We went out of our suite and followed the tide of students walking to the dining hall. Bex and Liz were in our usual table, but there was an odd crowd around our table.
"Hey Gallagher girl" Zach said, ignoring Anna Fetterman, who looked like she was trying to flirt with him
"Uh, hi" I said with a wave of my hand. Suddenly the crowd of girls dispersed and returned to their seats. We were left with the boys - Grant, Jonas, and Zach- in our table. Jonas and Liz seemed to be having a playful debate on the software most efficient for hacking on security cameras. Bex and Grant were leaving the hall to go to the barn and try on some new techniques they were talking about. Macey was occupied with her latest issue of vogue and constant pestering of the 8th grade boys. So that left me with- (I bet you can't guess who it is)
"So Gallagher girl, how's that piece of French toast you've been staring at for the past five minutes" Zach smirked
"It's great! I think it could've mutated a bit though. My stares have that power, you know" I said sarcastically, glaring at him, wanting him to turn into anything except Zach Goode.
"Your eyes are certainly something special"
"What-"
"I heard we're going to have a practical dancing test in C&A" he said, coolly
"Well, yeah. You are my partner."
"When do you want to practice?"
"Uh, how about later after class?"
"Sure. Should I bring a picnic basket with some wine and cheese?"
"Why?"
"Well it is a date right?" he said with a sly grin
"Wait, what? A da-" I said
"Alright then Gallagher girl, see you at 6" he said, darting out of the hall before I had the chance to say anything else
I let out a sigh, what did I just get myself into?
