A.N.
I'm so sorry that this was late! I don't have an excuse except writers block and a lack of inspiration to actually sit and write. Also, I may not be updating regularly during Christmas/New Years time period, but I'll try my best.
I want to thank you for reviewing again. I almost got my goal of 8 reviews! I got seven, which is great, so I'm not complaining. I'm thinking 10? I'm trying to push the number up sloooowwwwwllllyyy each chapter ;-). What do you guys think? Can you do 10 reviews?
SHOUT OUTS!

I really want to thank you all for taking the time to answer my questions.
Special thanks to Divergent-Chameleon-Wise Girl. I didn't make josh already at the bowling place, but I did make them at the restaurant instead. And I did the Deedee thing. Thanks a lot! I'm also going to use your COC idea later on. And to all of you other followers keep reviewing, and I may choose your suggestion.
I didn't get a lot of feedback on my Hansel and Gretel story so I'd really appreciate it if you guys would visit it.
Well, as always, questions at the bottom. PLEASE ANSWER, and enjoy chap 6!
Of course, the minute I saw Josh, the girls saw him too. And then, a split second later, so did Zach.
We exchanged a look.
"Do you want to leave?" he said out loud, always the loving caring boyfriend (well, for the most part anyways). "Because if you're uncomfortable, we can just leave, you and I."
"No Zach, its fine. I'll be fine. Come on, I survived being kidnapped by terrorists for goodness sakes. I think I can deal with seeing my ex-boyfriend."
Of course, Zach saw right through me.
And here I thought I was a really great liar…
"No, you're not fine. You're tense, awkward, and a little annoyed. Personally, I'm annoyed too. Why do we always somehow run into Jimmy. It's like that boy has a Cammie radar, or something. His timing is impeccable…"
"Relax. It's okay. It'll just be a short conversation that will probably be realllyyy awkward but, you know, whatever."
"Well now that that's decided," Macey interjected, "Prepare yourselves for an awkward ex- boyfriend encounter in 5…4…3…2… Hiiiiii Josh!"
"Uhh…hi…Cammie's friend… Macey, right?"
"Yep. And you remember Bex, and Liz right?"
"Yeah. Nice seeing you again." Then Josh directed his attention to Zach.
"And you're…" he paused for a second, "Zane, right?"
"Zach. But I'm sure you knew that already, and were just faking that you forgot. Lemme tell you, it's a lot funnier when I do it, Jimmy."
Even though I kicked him under the table for that,I had to agree.
"Oh… uh… I really did forget… sorry…" His cheeks reddened, and he looked really flustered.
Quickly saving the conversation from utter deterioration, Macey stepped in.
"Josh, I'd like you to meet Grant, Jonas and Preston. We're all here on a group date. Grant Jonas, Preston, this is Josh, Cammie's… uhh… former boyfriend, and… friend."
Thank goodness for Macey's social skills and perfect manners. If it were me talking, well, it would be a LOT more awkward, and I'd have no clue what to say. Can you spell disaster? (I can and I just did. Hahaha I crack myself up…) Though I wouldn't say Josh and I were exactly friends…
After a lot of "Hello's" and "Nice to meet you's" Liz asked Josh the question I really wanted to know, but didn't want to ask.
"So Josh, what brings you here?"
"Oh, well, funny thing, I'm actually on a group date of my own."
Right on cue, Deedee came running over.
"CAMMIE! OMG hiiiiiiii! What are you doing here? It's soooo nice to see you again. How are you?"
I stood up to receive the big hug she gave me. Deedee is just that kind of person. Even though I was Josh's ex, she still wanted to try and be friendly. And it wasn't fake. She really did mean it.
It's really impossible to hate this girl.
"I'm great Deedee. I had no idea you were here! (I tried, and failed, to look thrilled as I said that.) We're on a group date like you are, as Josh was just telling us."
"You are? Oh wow, who would've thought? Such a coincidence! Hey, where are you going after this?"
Uh oh, I know where this is going.
Trying to get around the inevitable, I said, "well, we aren't sure yet, but…"
I then was promptly interrupted by Bex and her fake, cheesy smile.
"Oh, Cam, we just decided we're going bowling!"
"SO ARE WE! OMG we should ALL GO TOGETHER! Wouldn't it be FUN! We could all catch up and talk and stuff."
"Well…" I started
"We'd love to!" said Mace, grinning like an idiot.
"Yay! I'm going to go join the others, okay, and we'll meet up when we're all done. This is going to be fantastic, I just know it!"
And with that she skipped away
"Well, I better go join them…" Josh said, clearly still feeling awkward about the situation. "See you all soon," he said as he turned and left.
Finally, he's gone. Cue sigh of relief
Zach shot me a sympathetic look. At least someone cared about my wishes! I did NOT like this plan at all.
Everyone else was just trying to keep their laughter in.
"Go ahead. Let it out. I HATE YOU ALL! You're the worst friends ever!" I gritted out in annoyance, and frustration.
They all burst out laughing
"You know you love us Cams," Grant choked out
"Of course I do you bumbling idiot…you are my best friends. You just make it really hard sometimes…" I grumbled
Of course, that just made them laugh harder.
A.N.
Like it? Lemme know if you all have any suggestions. As always, PLEASE answer the following questions:
Fav artist- (LOVING Marina and the Diamonds right now!)
Hot apple cider or Hot chocolate? (DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE!)
Wawa or Dunkin Donuts? (Wawa all the way! They have EVERYTHING! And the best white chocolate cappuccinos. They're on the holiday specials menu, if you wanna try them. You should.)
Do you prefer to read the book, or see the movie. Also, do you like most of the books better than the movies? (Book. Then I go see the movie and yell at the screen "THAT'S NOT ACCURATE!" lol. I like most of the books better, or the same as the movie in the case of Lord of the Rings, etc.)
What should go down between Josh, Cam, Zach, etc?
Should Josh and co. find out that Cam is a spy, and see the COC try and capture her?
Should the COC succeed in capturing Cam or not?
Thanks!
Love ya!
