Chapter 10

I smiled at what Zach and Bex said. It was sweet of them to want to punch Darin, but I knew violence was not the way to handle things. I soon heard footsteps going up the door, and the door opened.

"Cammie!" Bex said enthusiastically.

"Hey Bex!" I said. Bex came and hugged me. She then stared at my bruise/bump.

"That thing looks hideous!"

"Wow, I feel so loved!" I said, in mock enthusiasm. Zach walked into the room, laughing.

"Goode, we need some girl time so, leave!" Bex said, ever so sweetly, till she got to the 'leave' part, where she growled at him. Zach, put his hands up, as if he was being arrested, walked towards the window, and crawled out. Then he pulled on the wood, so our windows were no longer connecting. Bex walked over to the window, put the latch on, closed the curtain and turned towards me, with her eye brows raised.

"Someone seems to be spending an awful amount of time with Mr. Goode, hmm." Bex said eyeing me.

"He's my neighbor, I can't avoid him, and you were the one who made me go to the pool party with him."

"Excuses, excuses." She sang. I groaned.

"So tell me that you hate his eyes-"

"But the colo-"

"-or his eight pack-"

"How can someone hate tha-"

"-or his smile-"

"It's really swee-"

"-or his gentlemen behavior-"

"How can a girl not like tha-"

"-or his biceps-"

"They're so bi-"

"-or his kindness-"

"Everyone likes kind peop-"

"Admit it, you like him!"

"Even if I do, it's not like he dates people."

"Maybe he's waiting for the perfect someone!"

"Bex, I'm not perfect! You and Macey are not me."

"Cammie, you are perfect, and I'll prove to you that he likes you! But I'll need Macey and Liz!"

"Fine, I'll call them and tell them to come."

It wasn't till the next day that Liz could come, and apparently she was essential to the plan (I still had no idea what it was, Bex would only say, "Have some faith in us!"). The three girls came over and they all piled into my room. Liz pulled out a bulky looking phone.

"I've made this impossible to track!" She said proudly. Bex took the phone and dialed Zach's number (how'd she get it?) She cleared her throat.

"Hello?" Zach's voice came loud and clear.

"Hello, I'm from Zinco's (A/N Made that up) Cleaning service, and I called to take a survey." Bex said in a fake accent.

"Um, okay?"

"Do you clean your house?"

"Yes."

"Are you of 18 year or younger?"

"Yes."

"Why do you clean your house?"

"Um... well... for my Aunt."(A/N What do you call your parent's cousin? Is it Aunt?)

"Do you love you Aunt?"

"Uh, yes?"

"Thank you for your time sir." Bex hung up and pumped her fist in the air.

"Victory!" Bex yelled. Macey was smiling, and Liz was squealing. I looked at them, puzzled.

"Care to explain?" I asked.

"Zach cleaned your room!'' I gave them an 'are you insane look'.

"It's pure ingenious! Zach cleans the house for people he cares for, and he cleaned your room!" Macey said, picking off from where Bex ended. I stared at my best friends. Could they've been any crazier? Wait don't answer that, I'm too scared to know.

"Zach likes Cammie, Cammie likes Zach, Zach likes Cammie, Cammie likes Zach, Zach likes Cammie, Cammie likes..." Bex was singing. I threw myself on the bed and stuffed my head in my pillow, but doing that only resulted in a headache.

Tap.

I walked towards the window, and opened it up, only be met by a blast of cold air. I stumble backwards, and into Macey.

"What do you want, Goode?" Macey asked.

"Keep it down, some people are trying to study for tomorrows test." My eyes went wide.

"Did you hear what we were saying?" I asked, scared.

"No, just a bunch of high pitched sequels. Do you have pigs in there?" I was about to answer, but Zach beat me.

"Wait don't answer that, I already know the answer's yes!" Zach cracked up at his joke.

"Four big pigs!" He added, and started to laugh even harder. I slammed the window in frustration, and turned to see two very angry girls. Liz didn't seem to care, Zach being all brother-like to her.

"Who knows what you see in that boy." Macey and Bex said at the same time, making it sound very scary.
