A/N: AGAIN THIS ONE HAS BEEN RE-DONE COMPLETLY!

SKATER GIRL!
Chapter Five: The Science Project

Zach's POV.

Me and Cammie, were walking to class together in silence. She found me on the bench when the bell went. We were late. We had English again with Miss Peckham so I don't think it mattered that much. I kept looking over at her. She had her head in the same place constantly, chin and neck at a 90 degree angle, back straight as a stick, and no skateboard in her hand.

"Where's your skateboard?" I asked, turning my head fully to her.

"In my locker," It was monotone, blunt, straight to the point.

"But you always have it with you," I stated.

"It snapped last night," She didn't more to look at me, just kept walking. I tought back to my dream and remembered she had her skateboard with her. I stopped walking, slowing down first. She didn't notice she carried on walking. So I watched her. Arms werent moving, she was walking like a statue. Personification, Miss Peckham would be proud. Anyway, the more I watched her, I saw she had a slight limp she was trying to hide. She was about 15 ish steps away from me when she stopped and slowly turned around.

"Come one, you're gonna make us late for class," She called, her voice having a little more emotion.

"We're already late," I said, staring at her.

"What are you looking at?"

"You," I stated, "How's your back?" I went for it. Discretely but still, I mentioned it.

"Fine, why wouldn't it be?" She was slowly walking back to me. I her face was blank but her eyes showed the pain.

"How's Cody?" I asked ignoring her question. She froze on the spot.

"I've not spoken to him in a while," She whispered. Close enough now that I could hear her.

"Don't lie to me," I whispered back, my eyes moving right to left, up and down, watching everything she was dong, trying to get a hint that my dream wasn't really a dream. n

"I'm not," She choked out. I lent forward and gave her a hug. She winced as my arms touched her.

"You're in pain," I whispered in her ear.

"Skateboard accident, that's why my board snapped," She said, her confidence returning a little. I nodded slowly, still not moving away but not touching her.

A beat passed until she opened her mouth to say something. Sound never escaped her lips as I lent forward and kissed her. My hand went under her chin to hold her in place, before pulling back.

"Now, don't lie to me," I whispered. Her eye's started to water; she stepped back from me.

"What I told you about my dad wasn't a lie," and with that she walked away down the corridor. I slowly followed behind her. Miss Peckham was lecturing about apostrophes and waved us off when we entered. Cammie seemed stiffer. Her pupils constantly flickered around the room.

What was going on with her?
Should I believe her?

My most important question of all is:
Why did I kiss her?

Science. Last lesson of the day. Me and Cammie didn't sit together in this class, we were on the opposite sides of the room. She was staring out of the window when a bird flew past and made her jump, then wince in pain.

"Class, I have a paired project for you all. You have to produce a presentation on sexual activity," The class interrupted him with chuckles, but he carried on, "I have picked your pairs, it will be boy, girl and it's due in two weeks," The class went silent.

I wasn't paying attention as he read out who was with who until he said that I was paired with Cammie. She looked at me to see, I was already looking at her. She sent me a small smile that didn't reach her eyes and then carried on looking out of the window.

When the bell rang, I waited for her outside the door. She stood in front of me before slowly starting to walk again. I walked next to her, up to our lockers.

"Do you believe me?" She whispered, ou friends hadn't arrived yet.

"Yes," I said bowing my head, knowing now it wasn't a dream and that I was there while her board got snapped, while she got beat, I was there through it all and I don't remember a thing of it all.

"Why?" She opened her locker and her board fell out at her feet. It had a blue base with a skull that now had red spots all over it. She picked it up quickly and put it back in.

"I was there," I whispered.

Her head snapped to the side so fast I thought it was going to snap off.

"What?" It wasn't even audible but the simple word was readable on her lips.

"I don't remember anything just leaving my house and coming here, sitting on the same bench I was at this morning and then you and a load of other men come out and you had a knife at your back and so did this other guy, and then my alarm woke me up, I just figured it was a creepy dream," I said. I could see our friends over her shoulder walking towards us. Macey and Nick were holding hands. I wanted to smirk but it wasn't the right time for that.

"I'm sorry," She whispered.

"Why?"

"I should have never told you, let you believe it was a dream, if they saw you.." she trailed off, "They might kill you," She said, her voice returning. But the tears appeared, there was no hiding them. Our friends were in hearing distance now.

"Come on, quick let's get you cleaned up before you get hassle from our friends," I sad slowly putting a hand on her back not wanting to hurt her.

My friends threw us a concerned, and confused look. I shook my head stopping them from following us.

My phone beeped in my pocket.

Where are you going? It's ice cream day -Maceyx

I smiled at Macey's obsession over ice cream, despite her perfectly slim figure.

I'll meet you there. Cammie doesn't feel well, don't know if she'll be coming -Zachx

It was simple enough, got her off my back, putting my phone back in my pocket. We walked to the girls bathroom, and she walked inside, seconds later coming back out.

"There's no-on in here," She said, pulling my hand and dragging me through the door. She locked it, and slowly climbed on top of the counter.

"So, what do you want to do for the project? Powerpoint, speech, poem, your choice," She said sending a small smile my way.

I grabbed some tissue and walked over to her. I pushed her knees apart and stood in between. I slowly wiped at her face, dabbing away her tears.

"I'm not bothered, how about a video?" I asked, giving her a small smirk and a wink. She chuckled.

"We could. Ask people what it meant to them, we could make a short film," She spoke softly. I dropped my hand and put it next to her leg on the counter. We just stared at each other. My phone beeped pulling me out of the trance. Another text.

We're all here, we all wish Cammie to get well soon from everybody!- Grant.

I smiled slowly.

"Who is it?" Cammie asked moving closer to look over my phone.

"Grant, they're all at the ice cream parlour, I told them you weren't well and might not be coming, they all wish you to get well soon," I finished looking up. She was a lot closer now.

"I don't think I'll go, as much as ice cream appeals me, I'm not up to it after today," She whispered. I lent forward and kissed her. Again. It was slow. Very slow. But magical. We both pulled away at the same time.

"What was that for?" She asked eye's showing her curiosity and pain.

"It was too tempting," I whispered, my eyes falling back to her lips. Before I knew what she was doing she closed the gap and kissed me. It was more passionate, more magical. I put my hands on her thighs gently, still not wanting to hurt her. Her hands were on my cheeks. I lent forward, more my back hurting still from my fall.

When she pulled away she whispered, "I see how tempting it is,"

"Go on a date with me?" I asked, quickly but quietly.

"Yu heard of the saying, 'if I tell you I love you, then I'd have to kill you'?" She asked pulling her hands from my face. I nodded slowly, "that applies here,"

I nodded slowly again, stepping back and rubbing the back of my neck. I understood.

"I'm sorry, if things were different with me, I'd be all for it," She said, her voice normal again, no monotone, not stiff, but fluently Cammie.

I nodded, as I watched her open the door and walk out into the deserted hallway. I followed soon after. We both walked in silence out the school, and home.
