AN: The chapter title is the little different than the one on the table of contents thingy because I had to shorten it so it would fit. Enjoy!

Chapter 5: What was Joe thinking?/ What was Macey thinking?
Zach POV
My eyes widened as Candie was dragged toward me. Candie was almost laying down; she was limp as her friend pulled her across the mall's road. (You know, that little walkway in the middle of two rows of stores). As soon as Candie was in front of me, her friend let go of her arm and ran away into the crowd. Candie mumbled something under her breath that sounded the B-word in Hebrew. Yes, holy languages have cuss words. I blinked and she straightened up, smiling. "Hi! I'm Candie!" she chirped, holding her hand out. I shook it, dazed by her sudden change of demeanor. "What's your name?"
"James," She beamed at me. Wow, she's really pretty. Too bad she's an airhead. I thought. Time to bring on the charm. I smirked at her and ran my hand through my hair. Candie actually swooned. "Where's a pretty girl like you heading to?" She giggled. "Um.. Express. But my friends are waiting for me so..." I gaped at how easy my mission was. Wow, what was Mr. Solomon thinking? This girl didn't seem like she could pass an algebra test, not to mention be a "skilled operative." "It looked like she was fine with you staying with me."
I hooked my arm through hers, offering no chance of escape. "It'll be fun." She glanced back hesitantly, then nodded, clinging to my arm like a lifeline. I knew she wouldn't be able to resist.
"Let me call them first." She let go for a moment to get her phone. As she bent over her purse, I thought I saw something silver in her ear. "Hey Maddie. Yeah I'm with him. Uh huh. Not al all," she glanced at me and blushed. "Definitely. So I'm going to meet you and Bella at Express, 'kay? Could you tell her for me? Love you too. Bye."
"I told you they'd be okay with it." She smiled on we walked to Express, arm in arm.
Cammie POV
James ran his hand through his-gorgeous, if I may say so-blonde hair. Candie swooned. (Cammie swooned a little too.) "Where's a pretty girl like you heading to?" Seriously? If he wanted me to fall for him, that so wasn't going to cut it. What was Macey thinking, leaving me with him? I hated cocky and vain boys.
Candie giggled. "Um.. Express. But my friends are waiting for me so..." Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to tell him my real destination."It looked like she was fine with you staying with me."He jabbed his finger in the direction Macey had walked away. He latched his arm onto mine before I could answer. It was light, but as strong as steel and I couldn't break away without him realizing I was abnormally strong. So I internally gritted my teeth and didn't object."Let me call them first." I released him to get my phone.
"Hey Maddie. "
"Are you still with that hottie?" I could imagine Macey devilish expression.
"Yeah I'm with him."
"Do you like him?" She needs to stop trying to hook me up. Just look at what happened LAST TIME.
"Not at all." I grinned. How could I? He's so cocky and pushy.
"You do admit he's hot right?" I glanced at James and my cheeks reddened.
"Definitely." Hey, I AM a teenage girl. "So I'm going to meet you and Bella at Express, 'kay? Could you tell her for me?"
"Aww, he could come to A&F with us." I ignored her. "Fine, fine. see you there. " she grumbled. "I wonder why I'm even friends with you."
"Love you too. Bye." I chuckled. I hung up.
"I told you they'd be okay with it." James remarked, smirking. I laughed. That was the greatest understatement in history.
