Chapter 3

"Hey, you must be Cameron, I'm Zachary Goode, but I prefer Zach. I'll be your guide for the day."

I couldn't form a single thought as I stared at Zach's beautiful emerald eyes.

"Um... hello, anyone in there?" He asked waving a hand in front of my face. My face turned bright red, and I tried really hard to form a single word, but I couldn't even think straight, let alone a single word. Zach glances at his watch and pulled me towards the lockers.

"Your locker is number 241, which is right next to mine. We both have the same schedule, otherwise I wouldn't be your guide. Our first class is math with , and his classroom is right down the hall," Zach started to talk about our classes, but I wasn't really listening. I was still mesmerized by his eyes.

"You really surprised me Cameron, you're the only person who's taking all of the advanced classes." Only then did I realize that I hadn't uttered a single word to Zach.

"Cammie." I said.

"Huh?"

"Call me Cammie." Great I thought to myself. I'd probably made a big fool in front of Zach. Zach opened his mouth to respond, but at that point we'd walked into math class. There was still five minutes left before the bell would ring, so I looked around for a seat. Only then did I realize that Bex, Lix, and Macey were all in this class.

"Hey guys!" I called.

"Cammie! You're in this class!" Bex yelled. A few people turned their head at Bex, including Tina Walters. I quickly adverted my gaze from her, but not quick enough for me to see the glare she sent my way.

"Now," Bex said, pulling into me into a chair, "there are some people you should know about. Of course you know Tina and her posy, so avoid them, there's the jocks, which are total jerks, so avoide them , there's Josh and his gang, and there really sweet, so you can talk to them, then there's Grant, my boyfriend, Nick, Macey's boyfriend, Jonas, Liz's boyfriend, and then there's-"

"Zachary Goode," Macey snarled. I looked at her. How could she say a person's name with so much venom?

"He's supposedly 'the perfect example the gentlemen that have been deprived in this generation' or that's at least what the teachers think. But honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he went on top of Mt. Everest and screamed 'I have bipolar'. I mean, how can teachers think Zach is an angel?"

"Well," l said in a dreamy voice, "can't you see his halo?"

"Sure, it's held up by his horns."

"What's so bad about being good?"

"Well," Bex picked up," he's probably the most wanted boy in this school, yet he's never dated someone, his past is very mysterious, and he's very-"

"Self-centered and cocky. He just thinks that with a snap of your finger you'll be under his spell'" Macey said sending a glare Zach's way. Once Bex said that, I immediately fell out of my Zach daydream. So, I thought to myself, Zach gets ever girl under his charm, except for the three sitting here.

"So, I can hang out with Josh, Grant, Nick, Jonas and avoid Tina, and the jocks, and... Zach?" Macey snorted.

"Oh I wish we could avoid Goode, but Grant, Nick and Jonas are tight friends with him." Macey was going to continue, but the teacher came in and class immediately began.

I walked out of the classroom, and waited for Zach. Remember Cammie, I thought, don't fall for Zach. It's not like it'd get anywhere, he doesn't date.

"Hey Cammie!" Zach called, as he made his way towards me.

"Hello, Zachary."

"Woh, you don't have to be formal with me." It helps not fall for you, I said inside my head.

"Come on the next class is study hall, which is in our library, since it's really big." I followed Zach, till I felt someone following us. I turned around and saw Grant, Jonas, and Nick following us.

"Yo Zach, wait up!" Grant called. Zach turned around and smiled.

"Took you guys long enough!" He said.

"Hey you must be Cammie, right? I'm sure Bex already got to you and told you who we are... so LET'S PLAY 50 QUESTIONS!" Grant said, as he slung his arm around me in a brotherly way. I laughed at his enthusiasm, and nodded my head, signaling that we could begin the game.

"Your favorite color?'' He asked

"Green."

"Your-"

"Grant if you don't want to be late you better hit the hay, because you only have two minutes to get to the other side of the school." Zach said with a smirk. Grant abruptly turned around and muttered a bye.

"So, you like green, as in my eyes?" Zach asked with a cocky smirk.

"Ugg, Macey was right you are-"

"Ah, I see McHenry's gotten to you, I'm guessing she said I was self-centered and cocky, and bipolar." He had a smirk plastered onto his face. I groaned and kept quiet the rest of the way to the library.

Calling the library big would've been an understatement. It was... well there's no word to describe it! It looked close to a mansion, but it had a more important look. Zach took my hand and led me to the librarian.

"Hello Zach, what can I do for you?" she asked.

"Well it's it our study hall period, so I was wondering if you could give up the key to the book room, so I could get Cammie's textbooks."

"Oh sure sweetie." She gave him the key and Zach pulled me out of the walked in silence and I thought about what Bex said, "his past is very mysterious," and couldn't help but wonder what had happened.

"We're here." Zach said quietly, as if he was thinking about something. His facial expression looked as if he was sad, and I was about to ask him what was wrong, but his smirk came in place as he started to pull books out of the shelves.

"Let see..." Zach started to talk to himself as he search the spines of the book.

"Ah, here we go! The last book." He turned around and dropped the books into my hands. My arm instantly dropped from the weight of the textbooks. I sent him a glare as he locked the door, and walked on back to the library. Once we reached it, Zach turned around took all the books from my hands and walked back to the librarian.

"Oh Zach, it's so sweet to carry Miss. Morgan's books." She said flashing him a smile. It took all my will power to not go up there and punch Zach in the guts.

"Cammie!" I turned around and found Liz making her way towards me.

"Liz!" I went up to her.

"Thank goodness you're in this class. I was afraid I was going to have to be with Zach. Macey was right about him." Liz's face instantly became serious, as she pulled me into one of the secluded corners of the room.

"What I'm about to tell you, you have to promise me you won't tell anyone, especially Zach." I nodded my head. Liz began speaking and I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
