PLEASE DON'T SKIP THIS AUTHOR'S NOTE
A/N: Hello everyone! I remembered writing here a few years ago and decided if anyone wanted I would finish this story as well as my other, It's just for the summer. I asked and you guys delivered! It's another Gallagher Girls fanfic that's AU so feel free to check that out and give your opinion! It's good to be back and I'm happy there's still interest. I don't have a set schedule yet as I am just getting back into the flow of things at college.
Side note: I was reading through my stories and want to apologize for any insensitive material I may have posted, I will eventually go back and edit those! I was immature and have (hopefully) grown up.
Now onto the chapter
Cammie POV:
"What movie should we watch next?" asks Macey. It was a Friday night and instead of trying to convince us to go out to a party or do something adventurous, Macey surprisingly called it a girls night in and thus here we are watching Christmas movies and binging on snacks. I think I've set a world record for the amount of popcorn eaten in a span of a few hours.
"No, no more movies I'm so tired" says an exhausted Bex right before she collapses onto the plush white carpet.
"What?! It's only 2am!" My lips quirk up at the justification, leave it to Macey to want to keep going.
"I'm with Bex" I say before laying down on the carpet as well, I notice Liz went ahead and already did the same. Somehow we end up with our heads close together from an aerial view we'd look like an X if Macey joins.
"Are you guys serious? Fine, I surrender" She lays down and completes the X after muttering a bit more under her breath.
"Well... goodnight?" says Liz.
"Don't think you get away that easily" Macey says, I can just hear the Cheshire grin in her voice.
"What do you bloody want?" I raise my eyebrows at Bex's use of the word "bloody". Her British slang only came out when she was either tired or angry. Right now, it seems like a mixture of both so I contemplate scooting a little to the left away from her.
"Relax Rebecca, we're just going to wrap this up with a little girls chat about guys, otherwise did this sleepover really happen?" Her tone lets us know there's no room for arguments. I feel Lizzie tense aside me from Macey's use of Rebecca.
"I think Grant's not too shabby, can I sleep now?" Lizzie sighs in relief, I can't blame her. The last time someone called Bex Rebecca...let's just say their lunch ended up everywhere but in their stomachs.
"I broke up with Josh ages ago, don't we already know each other's drama. I mean Lizzie here is still not official but definitely wants to be with our guy Jonas, Bex like she said is into Grant, Macey you and Nick make eyes at each other when you think no one notices, and I am single and don't want to mingle." I summarize, ignoring the squeak Liz lets out of my mention of Jonas. I close my eyes to finally drift off to sleep, but it's the sound of muffled laughs and coughs failing to cover some giggles. I open one eye slowly.
"What?" No one replies. I sit up abruptly and narrow my eyes. Liz avoids my eyes, Bex turns away now cackling, and Macey is looking at me with a smirk plastered on her smug face.
"What." I say more sternly.
"Single and don't want to mingle? Are you sure you don't want to mingle with a certain someone?" Bex pauses her cackling to tell me this before resuming. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion and turn to Macey.
"What is she talking about?" I demand.
"Sweet, sweet, Cammie. Ahh how naive you are is so so so refreshing" Macey starts, I roll my eyes and reach for the my coke bottle taking a sip.
"I believe she is referring to our good old Zachary Goode" My body somehow reacts before my mind and I end up choking on the coke. The burn of the carbonation stings my throat and eyes water at the awkward pain. I accept the napkin Lizzie was holding out for me before wiping away. At this point both Bex and Macey are cackling. It takes every ounce of control not to splash them both with my remaining coke. The only reason I refrained from doing so would be because messing up this white rug seems almost as bad as committing a felony.
"I don't want to "mingle" with Zach" throwing my fingers up in quotation marks. I look at Lizzie and raise my eyebrows. "You think they're wrong too right?" The traitorous Liz avoids my gaze before timidly scratching the back of her neck.
"I..uhh don't know Cammie. You mean you don't feel anything?" My jaw drops at the accusation. I look at Bex before looking at Macey with her raised eyebrows, back at Liz, and the cycle repeats a few times. I try to ignore the annoying way my heart is pounding and before I entertain the train of thought, I flip down onto my side showing my back to them and pulling the blanket so it covers me entirely.
"I'm going to bed, goodnight." I mutter before shutting my eyes tight. It's only minutes later when I hear their breathing slow and confirm everyone is asleep do I sit up abruptly and realize that I never told Lizzie no.
A/N: Sorry it's short, I had some of it written before and didn't want to keep you guys waiting! Figured some was better than none
