A/N: Hey people I know probably hate me for not updating but umm no excuse? Anyways before Cammie and Zach were given detention. Do you guys want that part of the story or seperate story that's linked to this. Probably going to be 10 chapters I'm thinking that unless you want only minor Zammie until later. If we go with the seperate thing there should be more Zammie in the next chapter. Enough talking now!
Cammie:
I groan I didn't have any of the girls in this class.
"Ah miss Morgan! Please seat yourself next to Josh yes?!" He says pointing to the window seats. He's weird but I think I'll manage. I walk over to the area looking around deciding where this Josh guy sits.
"Hi!" I hear a high pitched voice say and I jump startled and turn around.
"Oh Hi?" I say. Who the hell is this girl?
"Sorry if I scared you but I couldn't help but overhear Mr. M telling you to sit next to Josh! He's my best friend! He sits right in front of me and I sit here!" She says with a smile so wide the earth's diameter is nothing compared to it. She's also pointing to a desk indicating it's hers. I nod. Although, weird much.
"Umm thanks..." I say, I know this may sound crazy but I have a feeling this girl might be on drugs. NO ONE is that happy! I slide myself into the seat that's diagonal to hers.
"If you need anything ask me or my lab partner Zach." She says. I nod - wait what?
"Zach?" I say I hope she said something like Mac or Mat?
"Yeah but it's better if you ask me." She says.
"You mean as in Zach Goode?" I say.
"Yeah, do you have a crush on him or something? He's kind of cute but I like someone else" She says. I almost choke on my own spit.
"No! And don't go spreading that around" I say.
"Oh don't worry I wasn't! Anyways class is about to start to talk to you later." She says taking her seat. I shrug and face the front.
"Hey" I hear a voice say and turn to my right to seem some guy with these blue eyes. They aren't icy and dangerous like Macey, or innocent like Nicks, and definantly not like mine which are plain. They're just calm. His hair is sort of wavy curly type that fits him. I admit he's kind of cute.
"Um Hi" I say.
"Cammie right?" He says and I nod.
"Yup" I say popping the "p". I seem to do that a lot.
"Thought so, you're in my English class. Wish you were my partner instead of the one I had now" He says. I raise my eyebrows I don't know if I should be annoyed with his attempt to hit on me or happy that he said that or just don't care. Probably the third.
"Oh umm who did you get?" I ask.
"Tina Walters" He says. I let a laugh out.
"That sucks" I say and he nods.
"Much more than you think" He says and I smile. He's not as bad as I thought. Not as bad at all.
"Aww sht you're in this class too?" I hear a familiar voice and turn around to find the only and only Zachary Annoying Goode.
"Yeah, shocker right? Besides it's not like I want to see you too" I say sarcastically. I'm almost 100% sure he was supposed to be my tour guide for this reason exception of math with Liz and Jonas.
"The feeling is mutual." He says and turns to Josh.
"Good luck bro because she's as stubborn as a goat." He says shaking his head.
"Oh can it Goode" I turn to DeeDee.
"You probably should think of getting a restraining order. He's secretly a molestor" I say. Zach raises his eyebrows.
"A restraining order for you? Yeah probably" He says with a smug smile on his face. I give him the finger and the bell rings so I turn around. After Mr. M explains the experiment we start right away.
"So you going to the carnival?" Josh ask when we're halfway through the experiment.
"Carnival?" I say searching the back of my brain for anything related.;
"Yeah it's in 2 weeks." He says and then I remember.
"Oh yeah, Macey has been droning on about it. She's making us all go." I say with a shrug.
"Oh cool" He says and then that's it. I shake my head internally. Guys are just weird. After Chem is over I head to my next class. My schedule has been like this.
Homeroom
P.E
Math
Lunch
English
Chem
History
Study hall
Spanish
Not so bad, I have Homeroom with Macey, gym with Bex and Grant, Math with Liz and Jonas, English with Nick (though he wasn't there for some reason apparently in the office) chem with well Josh? History with all the girls, study hall with all the guys and Bex in the library and Spanish everyone. Did I mention that Zach's in all my classes except Math and History? I swear the school's out to get me. I head into history excited to see the girls. If this was Blackthorne I'd quickly leave the school and wander around to avoid going home to an empty house.
"Cam!" I hear and look towards the direction it came from to see Bex motioning me over. I sit myself across Liz and next to Bex. The table's a square so that leaves Macey infront of Bex and next to Liz.
"Hey" I say flatly. I'm not really the type to show my feelings easily so most of the time I act like I have none. Although, with the girls they see right through it.
"Like you're not excited to see us Cam" Macey and I grin. See what I mean? They see right through my act.
"I wonder what bullsht Buckingham is gonna make us learn" Macey says blowing a bubble.
"Macey!" Liz scolds. In math after I've used the "f word" Liz told me never to say it again, or at least infront of her and if I did she'd make me regret it. I completely mistook the whole pixie look. She's a sweetheart but mess with her and ouch.
"I mean, I wonder what boring thing Buckingham is gonna make us learn" Macey says raising her eyebrows for approval when Liz smiles she grins.
"She's such a sweetheart" Macey says shaking her head.
"Yup, although not all the time. Remember when someone accidently ripped your homework Lizzy?" Bex says. I raise my eyebrows.
"What happen?" I say as I see Liz's cheeks turn red.
"She-" Macey starts but Buckingham interupts.
"Alright people! We're going to be learning about WW ll"(A/N: I know this isn't really junior work but w.e just need a relating topic for this next part) Errr, war and all that isn't really my favorite topic to talk about.
"First off anyone here have family that served in WW ll?" She asked. My grandfather did but I wasn't going to raise my hand like the others in the class.
"How about The Cold War?" She asked. Still a few hands.
"How about recently from 1999 until today." I don't know why but I raise my hand. Maybe it's because my dad went in 2006 when I was only 6 and hasn't come back since, maybe it's because if I didn't it'd be like I'm forgetting him, like my love and grief ran out, maybe because I simply miss him. It could simply just be all the above.
"Ahh Cameron tell us, what did your family member serve in?" She asks. Of course she'd pick me, the new student. I know the girls are curious too. I swallow hard.
"The Navy" I say quietly. She smiles and nods. The rest of class is a blur because all I can think about was my dad. Mathew Morgan. I miss him so much. I miss the way he'd call me the chameleon when he tucked me in. When he pushed the swing from behind and would also tickle me too. I miss the way he always smelled like mint. I miss those days like the circus.
"Tomorrow we'll be doing something related. Have a nice day" I hear as I rush out the door and quickly search for a bathroom. I can hear the girls voices looking for me but I need to get away. I get into a bathroom and shut myself in a stall leaning my head on the back of the door. I close my eyes as tears roll down my face and onto the floor. After 3 minutes of standing like this I take a deep breath listen for anyone and exit to find Macey leaning against the sink arms crossed.
"You look like sht" She says. I can help but smile. For the fews hours I've known her, I've learned she isn't the fake and awkward type. She's straight get to point I don't give a sht type. I can sort of relate. She reaches into her purse and takes out makeup wipes? Of course she'd have them. She motions for me to sit on the sink so I do and she starts to wipe away the mascarra and eyeshadow that's all messed up. After awhile of doing so she finally ask.
"So what happened back there" She says redoing my lids.
"Do you really need a recap?" I say.
"No, but what I need is to know why you bolted out so quickly" She says.
"I don't know being in there was uncomftrable" I say.
"Why?" She says putting eyeliner.
"Shouldn't you be in class?" I ask trying to change the topic.
"Ya but who cares and stop trying to change the subject" She says. I sigh giving up so I told her. I told her how my dad disappeared when I was only 6. How my only aunt never really came around after that. How my mom completely shut down only to reboot into work mode. Basically how my life is messed up and is a big heap of sht. She's done with my make up by the time I'm done telling her the story.
"I know how you feel" She says putting away the stuff and leaning against the sink beside me turning her head to face me.
"My parents are never home. Always out doing all that political crap. Attending those late night parties for god knows what. Leaving me with the house maid and all. I don't really care but sometimes I miss them. I know your situation is far worse. I probably sound like some brat but life sucks. I only see them about 1-3 times a month. That's why I'm always inviting the girls and guys over. It's nice to know people actually care. They all know about my situation too so it's like their my actual family" She says and stops for awhile.
"Before you say anything don't say your sorry. We both got problems and both don't like pity from others and that crap." She says with a grin and I grin back. Another reason I like Macey more than before. She can relate and doesn't enjoy all that awkward mushy stuff.
"Well, Mr. Soloman is probably gonna beat the sht out of me when I walk in but it was worth it" She says and I grin before telling her my encounter with him. After I finished she's laughing her as off.
"Dang, you really are something Morgan" She says and I flash her a cheeky grin.
"Well there's only 10 minutes left of class you wanna just stay here?" I say not really bothering with study hall but Soloman's the problem.
"Eh why not. I really don't want to see Soloman and risk receiving his wrath." She says. We spend the rest of the time talking about school, friends, family, life, and even clothes. Shocking right?
"Hey Mace?" I say.
"Yeah Cam?"
"Can this stay between us. I don't want anyone knowing yet." I say, I'll tell Bex and Liz later.
"Of course" She says. The bell rings and Macey stands up offering her arm.
"Shall we?" She says and I laugh linking arms.
"We shall!" I say and we march out ignoring the stares of Tina and her incoming group.
XXX (Happening at same time)
Zach POV:
"Bloody hell!" I hear none other than Grant's British bombshell.
"Yes Rebecca?" I say looking up from my phone. She glares and sits down in front of me.
"I'd kill you right now but I got other things to worry about" She says and I raise my eyebrows.
"Like? Not that I'm complaining" I say and she shakes her head.
"Cammie, she bolted out of Buckingham's class and haven't seen her since" She says. I roll my eyes she's overreacting.
"It's Cammie, she's a stubborn goat head. She's probably just ditching or something and who doesn't race out of that class?" I say going back on my phone.
"Wake up dipsht she was on the verge of tears" She says and I raise my eyebrows.
"Cameron Morgan?" I ask.
"Who else idiot" She says rolling her eyes.
"I don't know but that doesn't sound like her, she probably had something in her eye" I say doubting myself but honestly Baxter is just overreacting. She opens her mouth to say something but Grant and Nick come back and slide themselves into seats.
"What'd we miss guys?" Grant says eating a hot dog. Of course he'd be able to get more food. It'd be impossible if he didn't.
"Nothing" I say and with that the bell rings.
