Summer Holiday Whatever That Means – Chapter 4

The juices are flowing and I hope to keep writing this regularly. Sorry for the wait. The characters are OOC. I only own the plot. I guess I did manage to post today! Aren't you lucky? Anyway keep reading:)

CPOV

Eventually everyone gathered stuff and left but James and Anna decided to go separately because they weren't that close to the group.

Everyone finally left and I turned round to face Zach, I wish I hadn't…

Zach, he just didn't look like Zach and after staring at him for ages I finally realised that we had to get moving if we wanted to catch up with the others. I reluctantly turned my head away from his beautiful face, did I just say beautiful? What? Where did that come from?

'Cammie, are you okay?' He asked,

'Cam? Maybe I should call back the others?' Zach asked again. Then I suddenly snapped out of my internal debate and said,

'No don't worry I was just lost in my mind, I'm fine seriously, I mean I should be asking you if you're alright? You did suffer the wrath of Bex and I bet she hurt you. Are you okay?'

Clearly my rambling had made him return to his Zachary ways.

'I'm fine, Zachary Goode, I'm all Goode.' Just as I was starting to miss that smirk it came back. I simply rolled my eyes and told him to take the left side whilst I got the right.

Once the area was secured we did a once over on the camp and once we decided there was nothing left we started walking to meet the others.

It was quiet the whole walk up and not that peaceful quiet, it was more of an awkward quiet where you didn't know if you could cough or not. Finally after walking for what felt like hours we finally heard the others. As soon as we approached the camp it went silent, and Zach quickly jumped in front of me as if he expected the attack – once again he shot me that look just as I was about to protest. I once again was forced to just make a fighting stance behind his muscular form. Muscular? What? Where did these thoughts keep coming from? UGH I seriously need to talk to the girls especially Macey as I wasn't too sure about how Bex and Liz would react.

Then suddenly out of nowhere, several buckets of ice cold water were poured onto Zach and me. I looked up and saw the cheeky faces of everyone except Jonas and Liz who were probably too clumsy to get up there.

'AHHH, guys I'm going to kill you!' After Zach said that he immediately started chasing Grant and Nick, they looked like they were going to hurt each other but they were Blackthorne Boys, they could deal with it.

But, me, a Gallagher Girl, I wasn't going to take the immature approach and vow to get revenge and chase them. I was going to be smart and evil with my plan. Make them live in suspense and fear of a plan 'I'm planning' when eventually the suspense will damage them. It doesn't matter if you're a spy or not when you want to know something it will claw at you desperately until it wins.

So instead I just looked at all of them, cleared my throat and said 'well played.'

The looks on their faces were priceless! Bex looked gobsmacked, Macey looked like she was trying to figure out what I was doing, Liz and Jonas looked terrified whereas Grant and Nick just smirked probably thinking that I was just an easy target now. But Zach's expression was the hardest to read, he looked flabbergasted then excited and then he smirked wiping all the emotion off of his face.

'So now that you've all had your fun, I think it's around 8 and I'm hungry so Liz, Nick and Jonas make some food,' the look Nick sent me scared me a bit but I still continued 'don't argue or give me that look! Grant, Bex and Zach get water and just secure the area again and maybe lead a false trail somewhere. Macey, you're with me I need to talk to you. Don't argue just get on with this – everyone be back in an hour! We could be longer just save us some food'

I turned to walk next to Macey, who shot me a confused look but continued on as we went uphill the opposite direction to everyone else, we just started talking about what they'd done at camp and then she turned and asked me the serious question I'd been waiting for,

'Cam, what's going on? The tension between you and Zach is unbearable, you keep glancing at him and he keeps staring at you.' I just told her to sit and we started talking.

'Mace, he probably looks at me in pity and now feels that it's his responsibility to look after me since it was his fault.'

'Cammie trust me on this, Zach doesn't look at you with pity it's more a look of awe. Trust me I think he likes you, scratch that he doesn't like you like Tina or Anna, he could love you!' she started squealing but after a sharp glare she shut up.

'Macey, he wouldn't love me, a Plain Jane,' she started to protest but I silenced her 'look it's great to have you not think that but I can keep having my pathetic crush on him just promise me that you won't do something stupid like tell him.' Then she started squealing again, but this time I had no idea why until I realised what I just said;

'No wait Macey I didn't mean that, I don't have a crush on him! I swear to God!'

'You so do Cam and your more than a Plain Jane, your beautiful, smart and so worth a guy's time, any guy would be lucky to have you! It's been well over an hour, we better go back but don't think I'll forget this conversation but I promise you I won't say anything to Zach or the guys, but I will tell the girls. You just need to get back, eat and rest because you look like crap and we'll sort that out tomorrow. You just need to rest now.'

The rest of the walk back was in silence. I was pondering over what she said, it's why Macey's such a great friend she knows when it's not the time. I just didn't know what to do when I got back to camp.

When we got back everyone was just finishing eating and Nick came and handed us our food, I quickly ate mine then got into a comfortable ball near Nick and Grant and fell asleep without hesitation.

So that was pretty long right? Well it felt long anyway, to me it went on forever! I spent a while writing this and honestly I actually have no idea what's exactly going on with the plot as I can't remember what I was going to do exactly because it was last year.

Sorry if it's a bit off but comment with any suggestions for what I should do next, give advice or just tell me how I'm doing with the story or just say a simple hey:)

Thanks for reading, keep reading.
