Chapter 25

My instincts told me to kiss back. Heck I wanted to kiss back, but I didn't want Zach to know that he made me feel weak. I pushed against his chest, well, barely pushed against his chest, and looked him in the eye.

"You're on probation, Zach." I said slowly, as if he was a little kid. He pouted, but said.

"You're only hurting yourself!" And smirked at me. We made our way towards our locker. When we got there we saw 6 eager faces waiting to know if we made it into the play. I nodded my head, and the girls squealed. The guys smiled.

"So, who's doing what?" Jonas asked. Oh Jonas, the practical one.

"You and Liz are doing the technical stuff, Macey and Bex are doing the makeup, Grant and Nick is going to help with the directing, and Zach and I are going to be in the play." Everyone got silent, looking at me, knowing that I didn't like being in the spotlight.

"I'm fine with it guys!" I lied, but of course Zach knew I was lying. You might think it's silly, that I was bothered by being in the play, but this is from the girl who really had no friends, the girl who was classified as a freak, and the girl who'd never ever been the center of attention.

"And, I didn't get any speaking parts, well, that's not really determined, but its fine!" I said opening my locker, and taking/putting things. Zach wrapped his arms around me.

"I know you're lying." He whispered into my ear. I shivered.

"Okay lovebirds, you need to separate, because I need Cammie now!" Bex said.

"But she's mine!" Zach whined (I know, ZACHARY JARED GOODE JUST WHINED‼), tightening his hold on me.

"Yeah, but you're on probation, Zach." I said, taking his arm off me, and went to stand by Bex's side.

"Okay, but don't come to me for help with your homework!" He called over his shoulder, walking away with Grant, Jonas, and Nick. I groaned.

"I can help you!" Liz said. I smiled gratefully at her. You see, Liz takes all advanced classes too, except she takes technology, while I take science, and she takes gym, while I take advanced gym. We walked out the door, and I got into Bex's car, while Macey and Liz followed behind us towards my house.

"You and Zach are pretty close, and pretty fast!" Bex said. I sighed. I knew I couldn't keep my love life away from my best friends.

"And..." I pried, wondering where she'd take this.

"Don't you find it odd, how you move to California, meet Zach, move back here, and all of a sudden, he's here?"

"Bex, where are you going with this?"

"Are you sure he's not a stalker?"

"Bex, he came here before me!"

"Okay then, why'd he ask you out, before he even knew you?"

"We did know each other, in California!"

"Well, WHY WERE YOU TWO MAKING OUT IN A SCHOOL CLOSET?" Bex yelled. I blushed. I was hoping she wouldn't ask that.

"Well, you see, I...umm," I stuttered. Bex rolled her eyes.

"I just don't want you to get hurt, that's all." She said, looking at me.

"Come on, it's Zach!" I said. She rolled her eyes.

"I think Grant is better!" She muttered, thinking I wouldn't be able to hear. I laughed.

"Yep, nothing beats British Bombshell!" I said, laughing harder. Bex blushed! Yes, Bex ACTUALLY BLUSHED‼

"Well," she said, still red, "at least he didn't call me a pig." she threw at me. I rolled my eyes.

"And by the way, good job hiding the bit mark, I couldn't even tell that you let Zach bit you!"

"I didn't let him!" I exclaimed!

"Hmm, so he's the one in charge of your relationship?"

"No!" Bex laughed.

"Sure." She said, dragging out the 'u'. We were silent, until Bex started to laugh.

"What?" I asked.

"You should've seen everyone's faces when they saw you and Zach, especially Tina's. I think the bloody lip really set her off!" I laughed with her, until I remembered what Tina did to me. Bex noticed that I stopped laughing.

"What's wrong?" She asked, so I told her what Tina did. By then we'd reached the house, and when we got out of the car, Bex told Liz and Macey what Tian had done to me.

"When I get my hands on her-"

"Bex!" I exclaimed.

"At least Zach forgave Cammie!" Liz said.

"Yeah, only because he's hypnotized by her!" Macey said laughing

"That boy is WHIPPED‼" Bex exclaimed, clutching her side from laughing. I smiled at the thought. Maybe I was the one in charge of this relationship.

"And then," Bex stated, still laughing," when" *laugh* " Cammie" *laugh* "said" *laugh* "not anymore" *laugh* "Zach" *laugh* "actually" *laugh* "POUTED!" By this time, Liz and Macey were laughing!

"Guys!" I said.

"Zach's my boyfriend!" I said, despite me laughing with them.

"And even thought I am, you make fun of me Gallagher Girl. I'm hurt." Someone said wrapping their arms around me.

"Zach!"

I hope you all enjoyed the chapter. It wasn't really that exciting, but it's the best I could do because I'm so tired.

Love,

A Runner At Heart
