Chapter 27
I walked towards my locker, got my stuff, and went on a pursuit to find the girls. I saw them by Macey's locker, with their boyfriends close behind.
"Hey!" I said to them. They looked up at me and smiled.
"We heard about the bet!" Macey said, excited.
"How?"
"News spreads fast!" I was really confused. Before I could ask another question, Bex started talking.
"So you know how you and Zach are dating? Well, since Zach is part of the relationship, you two are the 'Golden Couple'," she said. I looked at her bewildered.
"And Tina is mad!" She added. I sighed.
"Can't everyone leave my love life alone?" I groaned.
"Nope." All 6 of them said, at the same time. Can you say freaky? I can!
"Ugg!" I said frustrated.
"Sorry Cam, but the only way to get rid of all this is to break up with Zach." Macey said. Of course she'd say that. I shook my head.
"I'm not going to just because of a problem. I'll suck it up, and deal with it!" I said. I felt arms encircle my wait, and I knew Zach had come.
"Deal with what?" He asked.
"Nothing!" I said quickly, and unfortunately, when I said it, it sounded like I was hiding something.
"Gallagher Girl, I know when you're lying!" He said, tightening his hold of me. I sighed.
"It's nothing Zach!" I said a little harsher. I didn't want Zach to know I was having problems because of him. First Tina, now this, I'd rather he not know.
"You'll tell me Gallagher Girl." He whispered.
The school day was, normal, beside everyone pointing to me and saying "Zach's girlfriend" but no one caused me any trouble, because Zach was with me the whole time. Now we were headed towards to drama room.
"But, I can't!" We heard a girl say.
"Very well, I'll have to give Mayabel's part to Cammie." We walked in the classroom, and saw Madame Dabney talking to a girl, probably Christina.
"Oh Cammie, Zach!" She called. At the mention of Zach's name, Christina stiffened and turned around.
"I'm sorry Cammie, but you'll have to play Mayabel's part." I got tensed.
"Hey, at least we get to work together!" Zach said, trying to comfort me.
"Wait! You're playing Hendrick?" Christina asked, interested.
"Yes." Zach said. She turned to Madame Dabney.
"I'll play the part of Mayabel!" She said, eyeing Zach from the corner of her eyes.
"Oh really?" Madame Dabey asked. She nodded her head.
"Well then it's set!" She exclaimed. Zach and I turned to leave, but Christina called Zach.
"Hey Zach, we should, um, practice together!" She said. Zach looked uncomfortable, and I knew that he was trying to let her down easily.
"Oh, he can't we're... going out!" I said. She ignored me and still looked at Zach eagerly.
"Um, Cammie's right, we're going out." Zach said.
"It won't take all afternoon, will it?" She purred, yes actually purred! And this is a 'shy girl' as Madame Dabney said.
"Um, yes?" Zach said.
"How about tonight?" She inquired. Okay, I was liking this girl less and less.
"NO!" Zach said, firmly. She pouted, yes you read that correctly, she ACTUALLY POUTED! Somehow I have a feeling that she's just after Zach. Wait, I know she's after Zach, I mean who isn't, beside my friends of course. Zach pulled my hand, and took me out the room, and towards our lockers.
"I don't like that girl." He muttered, and I laughed. He looked at me.
"So you don't mind that there's another girls after me, and that we'll be doing a romance play?" He asked. I looked at him. Of course I'd care, but I wouldn't let him know that.
"No." I said, but for some reason, I blushed, and I knew Zach had detected my lie.
"You know, you look so cute and kissable when you blush!" He said, rubbing his thumb around my cheek. It felt so good(e). If Zach didn't know what to do as his job, I'd so recommend him to be a massage therapist. I sighed, contently, and Zach gave a small chuckle.
"Don't worry Gallagher Girl, you way better than all the girls in the world. I'd never leave you for someone else." When he said that, my hands automatically went to the necklaces he gave me. I'd never taken them off, unless I was sleeping, or taking a shower/swimming. I'd remembered every detail of them, too, because they were so special to me. Zach noticed my hands, and looked up and saw the necklaces. He smiled, and pulled me into his chest.
"Let's call of the bet." He said softly.
"Hm," I said, dreamily, closing my eyes. Just then, I heard footsteps, but Zach made no effort to move, so I just stayed there, in his safe feeling arms.
"Oh, hi Zach!" I heard a voice say. I felt Zach tense up.
"Christina." He said, his voice holding no emotion.
I officially hated that girl!
And another chapter's up! This one is a tad short, okay shorter than the usual, and I'm sorry!
Love,
A Runner At Heart
P.S. What's a chapter if there's no dedications?

P.S. The 'history' that Macey and Zach have isn't because they dated each other. Remember, Cammie is Zach's girlfriend and first kiss, and Zach is Cammie's first boyfriend and first kiss too.
