I want to get straight to the story since I haven't updated recently.
I do not own...
now enjoy the show...or at least the story.
To say Zach was beyond pissed would be the understatement of the century. I had never seen anyone so furious in my life. And that includes that time with Townsted, and my mom.
"What did you just say?" His eyes narrowed dangerously and I admit I am pretty scared.
"Josh kissed me." I squeak out before scooting back farther then I already have.
"That is it! He is so dead!" The voice surprises me, it wasn't Zach is was Macey.
"No, Mace," I grab her hand and dig my feet into the ground to stop her from moving, "he's not worth it."
"This is the last time I am going to let him mess with you!" Her face is flushed with anger and her mouth is in a set line. I look to Zach for help but he isn't moving.
Part of his emotionless mask has fallen and all I can see is fury. His fists are clenched and he has gone pale around his mouth and nose. His eyes have clouded over and I know I have no backup.
"You guys can't do this!"
"Watch me, Gallagher Girl." He has started to walk to where I had abandoned Josh, and I grab his hand too. Right now I am trying to drag both Macey McHenry, and Zachary Goode back, and I am losing.
"You guys will get into trouble! Macey, you will probably have a new expulsion on your resume and wake up thinking this was all some crazy dream!" Macey's body has relaxed and isn't pulling as hard, time to work on Zach. "Zach think what Mr. Solomon would say, about you hurting a person for a stupid reason. The stern face but the disappointment in his eyes." Zach too has stopped pulling. I have finally got the two calmed down when that idiot decides to show his face.
"Cammie." He says face full of relief, "I thought I had lost you, your good at hiding."
"No," I answer evenly, "I wasn't hiding, I ditched you." I fell Zach's body tense and I grab his arm quick, a motion not unnoticed by Josh.
"Oh, I see. You told him about it, and how we're giving us a second chance."
"Guess again Jimmy, she doesn't like you get over it." Zach's voice is poorly hatred.
"That's not what she told me... You know... After our heated kiss." That was it. The lie. I have snapped, I pull back and punch Josh so hard in the center of his face he falls back. It was only until I hear someone clear their throat and notice that Joe Solomon is standing a few feet to my right, along with Aunt Abby.
"Ms. Morgan!" Solomon says aghast, at the same time Abby says, "Cameron!" in the same tone.
"We do not hit other students." His voice is stern and his eyes are disappointed. Hmm. Ironic. I open my mouth to explain but Macey's and Zach have beat me to it.
"Joe, it's not her fault, he was provoking her."
Joe's eyebrows raise at the same time as Abby asks us to continue.
"He kissed her." Macey voice breaks the silence that has created. Abby gasps and her eyes widen in concern, "Are you okay, Squirt, he only kissed you right, nothing else?"
"No, no... I'm fine, just shocked." Abby nods her head and hugs me.
Looking over Abby's shoulder I see Joe watching the exchange but his eyes drift quickly over to Zach. I see the concern in his eyes, Zach is like a son to him. Mr. Solomon walks over to Zach who has sat down on the wood wall surrounding the park and sits down next to him. I can tell Joe is trying to cheer him up, and by the looks of it...it is slightly working.
Macey hugs me next, no words are needed. She is always there for me. Out of the corner of my eye I see Solomon gesture in my direction and Zach slowly looks up. His eyes are wet but he is keeping the tears in. He walks over to me and hugs me, I am a little surprised but I hug him back.
I lean my head on his shoulder and he rests his head on top of mine. We stand there for who knows how long until Macey tells us that Abby and Joe are taking him back to there camper to fix him up and give him a stern lecture.
I keep my head on Zach's shoulder the entire walk, and he keeps his arm around me. As soon as we walk up the two steps and into the camper I detach Zach's arm from me, shake off the shock. Grab a bag of Starbursts and a couple pieces of paper and two pens.
Macey and Zach's eyes fallow me with every step. I sit down at the table, open the bag and pop a Starburst in my mouth.
"Come on Zach, we need to write a mission summery so far." We get to work right away but Zach and Macey never take there eyes off me.
By the time my hand cramps from writing the summery, (It was twenty pages front and back, Solomon wants it very detailed) Zach has also finished twenty pages and Macey has taken the Starbursts that we haven't eaten yet and stacked them into a tower.
I will never get my friends, but I guess they can say the same about me.
