A/N I know I haven't updated my story since March and I'm really sorry for that! I have such good plans for the end but its getting there that's the hard part!
Now a couple more thoughts so please read the authors note haha.
1) Some may ask why things in the story aren't romantic enough or why Cammie doesn't have the main guy- well at the end of the story I can tell you there will be an authors note explaining exactly why this story happened the way it did. Very mysterious right now hehe ;)
2) I'd like to thank everyone for reviewing because that's what got me writing again. Thanks especially to Peppermintrina for taking the time to contribute ideas to the story and Tessa for giving such a nice review it made my day.
While sitting on the bleachers with her friends, Cammie's phone buzzed with a new text message. She quickly dug the phone out of her purse and opened it.
New Text Message From Zach
Cammie, Will you go out with me?
Cammie's eyes grew big and she took a sharp breath in. Her mind started racing. This has got to be a fake text. Someone on his team probably sent this as a prank.
All of the girls were pretending to be watching the game while giggling and talking about the basketball players, but Macey noticed Cammie grew very stiff and quiet next to her. Macey drew her eyes painfully away from the other team's point guard and looked at her friend. Cammie sat staring at the small phone in her hands.
"Cammie are you okay?'
Cammie only nodded.
"Is something wrong?"
She nodded again.
"Your not making sense. Let me see your phone."
This time Cammie just sat there motionless. Macey was forced to lean over her shoulder and look at the small screen. What she saw was a shock.
New Text Message From Zach
Cammie, Will you go out with me?
Macey's mouth popped open slightly from reading those words. "Oh my god Cam! Zach totally just asked you out! I knew this was going to happen I just had a feeling about you two! I'm so excited for you! Okay so this is how you should respond first—"
"- Macey!" Cammie interrupted. "I'm not saying anything back. I have no idea how I'm going to respond."
"Really? Oh, I'm sorry Cam. I just automatically assumed you were going to say yes. I mean you two have been really close for months."
Cammie suddenly stood up, gathering her bags, and made her way down the bleachers.
"I've got to go Mace. I need to get out of here, talk to you later."
Macey watched in confusion as her friend briskly exited the gym in a hurry. Right as the gym door closed behind Cammie, Zach emerged from the men's locker room holding his sports bag. He jogged over to the bench and sat the bag under his chair before turning to his coach.
"This is going to be interesting." Macey mumbled to herself. Liz turned to her then.
"What did you say Mace?"
"Oh nothing Liz, just talking to myself." She gave Liz a comforting smile.
"Where did Cammie go?"
Macey sure wasn't going to tell Liz that Zach had asked out Cammie. Liz would immediately share the news with Kaylee, and they did not need more drama. "She told me she was heading home. I'll text her and make sure she made it home safely. You know Cam and her driving skills."
To: Cammie
I know you rushed out of the gym and didn't know how to reply to Zach, but we need to talk girl! You better message me back or I will find you! What's going on with you and Zach?
-Macey
A few seconds later Macey's phone beeped.
To: Macey
Relax I'm at home and I messaged you back so no need to "find me" lol. Thank goodness I'm a fast texter ;)
-Cam
Macey got annoyed from Cam's uninformative message.
To: Cammie
Don't avoid the question! What's going on with you and Zach? Do you not feel that way about him?
-Macey
To: Macey
I don't know how I feel. Yes, I'm attracted to him, but I don't want to say yes to going out and risk the chance that the relationship will end badly. That might ruin our friendship. How could we ever go back to being close friends if we had a bad breakup?
-Cammie
Now Macey understood why Cammie was so hesitant to say yes. She didn't want to risk the good friendship they had. Out of all the people in the school though, Cammie and Zach seemed to be close enough to have any type of relationship they wanted.
To: Cammie
I know your worried, but I just want to tell you that I think your friendship with Zach is strong enough that it will not be ruined even if a dating relationship doesn't work. You've got to do what your heart tells you Cam. Go read a couple romance novels and watch some chick flicks tonight, that might help ;)
-Macey
Throughout the game Zach checked his phone for any new messages from Cammie Morgan. Every water break he opened his phone to a blank screen. He even sat on the bench holding his phone during half time while the rest of the team was out on court shooting. By third quarter in the game Zach was worried he had made a huge mistake.
A/N A little motivation to review is knowing that in the next chapter Cammie will give her decision to Zach's question!
