A/N So the chapter is a little random and short. I need some filler content though before jumping into the next big event. So stick with me here.

Chapter 20

Cammie sat in study hall staring at the clock ticking by too slowly. This class was pointless to her. She never did homework in study hall partly due to the fact that there were loud idiots messing around the whole classroom and also due to the fact she had all her easy classes that didn't assign homework before her study hall period. The sad fact of school, you almost never get a schedule you're completely happy with.

All of a sudden a pencil came flying out of nowhere and hit Cammie in the side of the head. She glanced down immediately as it hit the desk.

"Oh, my bad, sorry. Can I have my pencil back?" Some guy asked her. He had blonde hair and a facial expression that gave the impression he had no care in the world. Of course he was the one who hit her in the head. It took all her self-control to not break the pencil in half just to piss off the carefree yet sadly clueless boy. If there was one rule to remember in study hall, it was to not bother Cammie, who had math class right after. She was always in a bad mood before her that awful time.

Maybe she should just text Zach. Talking to him always helped pass the time and comforted her. She took out her phone and did the old trick of hiding it inside her book and staring down at the pages, while typing her little heart away.

Hey Zach. Super bored in study hall. Surrounded by idiots. I wish I were in your class!

:(

She then actually decided to read the book while she waited for a reply. They had been reading Life of Pi in English. She honestly had no idea what the author was thinking. He must have done quite a lot of planning to make all the connections work in the end. However, she wasn't ever happy with the unrealistic idea of a boy surviving on a boat with a live tiger. Her mind started drifting off to how she would survive in that situation. Kill the tiger? Jump over board and try to swim? Stay on the dangerous small island? No, probably just assume the fetal position, and cry till it's all over. Brilliant plan Cammie, works every time. Her phone vibrated then.

Sorry Cam. I know your classmates aren't the best, try to stick it out. You only have twenty more minutes, and I'll be at the door waiting to walk you to class! Macey says since the majority of the school probably doesn't even know their names, you would not be considered a bad person if you left and came to our class. ;)

Zach was always suggesting she leave study hall and hang out in his room. That's only because his study hall teacher was the PE coach and could care less about who actually came to class. She only did it once though. She always felt guilty about it and had the fear she would get caught. So no matter how cute he was, she didn't give in to Zach's temptations very often.

Finally the bell rang and she packed her things at record speed to meet Zach at the door. There he stood smiling at her. He looked amazing wearing a white and blue striped shirt he bought from Zumiez and a pair of dark wash jeans with his always- worn basketball shoes. Classic Zach.

As they walked down the math and science hallway she glanced at the decorated walls. Posters promoting new events always covered them. Her favorites were the ones reminding students to walk not run (they make it sound like a pool not a school). She noticed a small red poster by the door to her math room and stopped. Zach had continued walking and was jerked back when Cammie's hand tightened around his.

"What is it Cam?" He leaned forward to read the poster.

"A community service event going on tomorrow night at the local church. There was a canned food drive and they need volunteers to pack the cans into boxes now."

She really needed to finish her community service hours. The first semester of school was over in two months. Ten hours were required, but she had only completed three. "Do you want to do it tomorrow?"

Zach looked unconvinced. She grabbed his shoulders and made the puppy dog eyes at him. "Come on Zach please. We both could use more hours, and we might as well do it together!" It didn't take long to convince him.

"Alright I'll do it." He smiled down at her and shook his head, realizing anything she asked for, he would give if he could.
