Chapter 12

"Cam wake up, it's Saturday." Liz was shaking me to wake me up.
"Come on Cam, we had a deal last week to hang out in town. It'll be fun." Bex chimed in with the conversation.
"Oh Cammie, come on. Maybe if you're lucky enough, you might see the one and only hot and sexy looking Zach." Macey said who just started giggling and blushing when she called Zach a 'sexy looking Zach.'
I finally got up and squinted at the light that was seeping through the bright and thin curtains.
"The thing with getting up is not easy when you're so tired because you just had a big mission in CoveOps with a teacher named Mr. Solomon, and just finished your mission by getting soaked and was freezing to death from falling into the cold waters of the water fountain in Washington D.C. at night. (Yep that's right, another mission in D.C.). And you also had to wait until you get back to Gallagher Academy to be able to change into some dry clothes and you have a little cold." I informed them who now looked dumbfounded.
"Well… here's some medicine. Then change your clothes now and we can go into town." Liz suggested, trying to ignore what I said.
"Well…um," Bex started when we were in town. "Hey remember when you met Zach? You know, when we were looking for the red ruby slippers?"
"Yeah." I said. How can I forget? That was the same day when I let another boy distract me from my mission and failed. He was the same boy who also dipped me in the middle of the school, movie style, and kissed me.
"Well, remember Cam, two of our sisters fell into the water fountain just like you." Bex shot out a little laugh then she fell silent when she saw me giving her a squinted look. "Look Cam," Bex starting talking serious. "Everyone makes mistakes and besides, in the end, you got yourself a new boyfriend! I mean, Cam! He kissed you before he went back to Blackthorne!"
"What if Zach gave up on me? I mean I didn't see him for like a month." I asked my three best friends in the whole world.
"Well… why don't you go find out. It looks like he's waiting for you." Macey pointed to a guy that was leaning against a flagpole with his hands in his pockets and was looking straight at us. At me…
It turns out that my friends were kind of cheating on me, leaving me with Zach. That's what they were planning along! They set me up with Zach! Like a date I mean, nothing personal…
"So did you miss me Gallagher Girl?" Zach shot me the smirk look. The look he always shoot at me when he is trying to say 'I know something you don't know' look.
"I can't say Zach." I said. There, a short reply. I took a fast glance and looked at Zach. His hair was a little longer. (Not like the length of a girl's hair!) He looks a little more muscular and his smirk is still the same. Like always. He caught me looking at him and I quickly looked away. Then Zach said…
"Come on Gallagher Girl, I know you missed me. The way you cried before I left. You just don't want to say it out loud in case Jimmy hears it." Zach said the name 'Jimmy' in a whisper while pointing to the place where Josh worked, where I saw him and DeeDee together, and when he saw Zach trying to kiss me. But then I noticed what Zach just said.
"First of all, why do you want to know if I missed you or not and second of all, his name is Josh not Jimmy." I protested.
"If you say so Gallagher Girl, but," He stepped closer to me. "That's not important right now." He kept stepping towards me, but I kept backing up until… I was leaning against the wall of the building.
"Come on Gallagher Girl. Stop hiding your feelings from me. If you tell me that you love me, I might reconsider something…" He whispered in a low soft tone.
Before I can protest, his fingers were already holding my face and were lacing into my long dishwater blonde hair. Then he was closing in on me, I closed my eyes and felt him plant a kiss on my lips.
