"We can't back down! There's too much at stake!" I jumped onto my couch, moving to the beat of yes, camp rock. Don't judge me. "This is serious! Don't walk away!" I kept on singing, swaying to the beat coming from my mac book. I was supposed to be working on a twenty page essay for one of my classes but as you can see I was sort of… busy.

"Well you please quiet down! Some people are trying to get beauty sleep!" My mother yelled, opening the door of my room. She came out glaring at me and wearing Victoria Secret lingerie and massive bed hair.

Zach, who had been in his room doing who knows what, came out and smirked when he saw me on the couch. "Ms. Morgan, don't worry about it. You don't need beauty sleep since your already so beautiful."

I rolled my eyes and got off the couch, turning the music off. "Forget it, I was just about to go out anyways." I stomped past Zach, muttering 'kiss ass' under my breath and walked out of the apartment. I was pretty pissed considering they made me turn my jam off.

I heard a door open and close and then some shuffling of feet. I was about to turn around to see who was behind me but before I could I had someones arm around my shoulder bring me into them. I didn't have to look up to know it was Zach, his scent was too familiar to me and his arms felt like home. "Come on, lets get something to eat" he said, his arms still wrapped around my shoulder.

"You do realize thats all we do, right? Eat." He chuckled and nodded. The rest of the walk was silent. We stopped at the nearest bakery to eat, Sweet Treatz. It was only a block away from where Zach and I lived and we went there whenever we didn't feel like driving.

When we ordered and got our food we walked out and sat on one of the benches that was in front of the bakery. We ate our food silently, the silence between us not really bothering the two of us. It wasn't awkward, more like comfortable. "So… Camp Rock huh?"

"Oh, shut up!" I exclaimed, glaring at him as he smirked at me.

He shrugged, "I wasn't saying it as a bad thing! I think it's actually pretty cute." I looked down, my cheeks burning. I was hoping he wouldn't see that but no such luck. Thankfully he didn't say anything, instead he just put his arms around me and hugged me. He put his mouth on my hair and murmured, "Cam, I know your mom can be a pain but I'm really proud of you and how you haven't kicked her out yet."

I looked up and smiled, grabbing his hand and mouthing weakly a thank you.

I moved in my seat uncomfortably, nervous of what was about to happen in a couple of minutes. I looked down at the menu and then at the prices and had a mini heart attack. Just the lasagna was 95 dollars. My brand new Kate Spade dress fit me perfectly ten minutes ago but now it felt as if it was tighter.

"Cammie!" I looked up from the menu and stood up, adjusting my dress again.

"Hey!" I walked towards the beautiful brunette. Her long hair was in perfect waves and she was in a blue sequined dress that shaped her figure amazingly and blue 4-inch heels that matched the dress. She grinned when I opened my arms and walked into my embrace. We both squealed a bit seeing as we haven't had a girls night since, well since the accident. "Ugh, I've messed you Bex" I said, pulling back and bring her to our table.

"Same here, Cam. I mean, I see you in class but we never talk anymore." She gave me a sad look and then looked down at the menu.

"Where are the others?" I asked, looking around. She merely shrugged. Just as she was about to say something I spotted them.

Walking towards us was a pair, both holding hands with grins on there faces, both chit chatting to the other and laughing looking like they were having the time of there life even though they were just talking to each other.

The one on the left, was the tallest. She had straight blonde hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a fancy red dress that stopped at her knees with ruffles at the bottom. She was wearing matching red heels. The other one on the right, though she was shorter, looked more confident. She had straight black hair with one red strip in the front. She had clear blue eyes and a green, strapless dress that looked amazing on her.

The one on the right spotted us first. She nudged the blonde, who turned and grinned and they quickened their pace towards us. "Hello, girlies." Macey smiled and quickly hugged Bex and I and then sat down next to me, flipping her black hair out of her face. Liz did the same and then sat down next to Bex.

"Wow, it feels like forever since I last saw all of you guys!" Liz exclaimed, grabbing her blonde hair, twisting it, and then putting it all to the left side of her face.

Bex nodded and then looked down at the menu. "Uhm, just curious but who's idea again was it to come to this very expensive restaurant?"

Macey rolled her eyes, "It's not that expensive."

"Not all of us can be billionaires, Mace," I commented looking at the menu again.

"Don't sweat it guys, it's on me anyways." We all looked up and were about to complain but Macey just shook her head, "Don't fight it guys." I sighed, knowing nothing was gonna change her mind considering she was the most stubborn person I knew.

"So whats been up with you guys. Fill me in with everything!" So for the next 15 minutes or so we were telling each other everything that had happened in the past couple of weeks. Bex had finally gotten with Grant, Jonas proposed to Liz but they're waiting till college to have the wedding, and well Macey has had about 15 boyfriends. Well, she said flings but whatever.

Then it was my turn.

"Well, nothing really. I mean my life is actually really boring."

Bex rolled her eyes, "Oh come on, there has to be something you can give us."

"Well, I mean other than my mother being back nothing has really happened." Liz and Bex gasped and Macey just stared at me, not really saying anything.

"Woah, your mom is back?" Liz asked.

I nodded. "Well, damn Cam. And she's living with you and Zach? That must be weird." Bex said.

"You have no idea." I sighed, rolling my eyes. "My mom is such a pain and- OH MY GOD! WHAT MACEY!" I yelled, turning to her. She had still been staring at me and it was pretty uncomfortable.

"Oh my god, you and Zach have so slept together."

My eyes widened. Holy shit, how did she know that just by looking at me? "What?"

Bex was chocking on her water and Liz had her calculating face on. "Well, there is a bigger percentage now that you two are living together and since there is so much sexual tension between you two."

"No, no there isn't!"

"Omg, Cam! How could you not tell us?" Bex exclaimed.

"I never even said we were sleeping together!"

"But your so not denying it." Macey commented and then shook her head. "I bet you two are friends with benefits."

"Awh, that is so cute!" Bex sighed, "I can't wait till you two are together for real."

I looked down and bit my lip, "We were friends with benefits. Were meaning past tense."

"Awh, Cam!" All three of them exclaimed. They then got up and hugged me. "It's okay, we're here for you." Liz said.

"What? No guys, I broke it off." The moment I said that they all pulled away yelling "What!"

"Well, yeah- wait… why did you guys think Zach broke it off?"

"Oh come on Cam, you're like in love with him."

"What, no I'm not."

Macey shook her head, "Yeah, yeah sure. Why did you break it off?"

I shrugged, "I don't know. I just, I sort of want a real relationship you know?"

And I guess the universe was on my side at that moment cause when I said that our waiter came.

After we ordered our drinks and he was out of hearing distance Bex said, "well hot damn, make me scream like summer jam. That boy is cuuutee!"

Macey nodded, "Mhmm, I give him an 8."

I shook my head, "He was pretty cute."

Macey smirked, "Well it's good you think that cause he was so flirting with you."

I raised an eyebrow, "Mace, what are you talking about? He asked us for our drinks."

Liz shook her head, "Yeah but he winked at you after you said yours."

"So?"

"You're so oblivious aren't you."

"No, I'm not!"

"Yeah she is." Macey sighed, "just like how you haven't realized that Zach is completely head over heels in love with you."

I rolled my eyes, "No he is not guys."

"Cam, I'm sorry but it's so obvious," Liz said.

"Well, I'm gonna go to the ladies room!"

"So am I."

"Same here."

I raised an eyebrow, "Are you guys ditching me so I have to pay for all this stuff?"

Macey shook her head no and dropped her credit card on the table, "Use that. And Cam, if I find out you payed for something I will cut your head off." She then gave me a sweet smile and walked to the bathroom, Liz and Bex right behind her. I have such kind friends.

"Here is your check, love." I looked up and there was hot waiter guy standing over me, a sweet smile on his face.

"Thank you," I said, taking it from him and opening. I gasped seeing all the 0's.

"So, where are your friends." I looked up again, surprised he was still there.

"Oh, uhm, bathroom."

He nodded and then looked around. He looked back at me and quickly got a napkin, "Look I really like you so I'm gonna take a chance here and give you my number and hope you call me sometime." He quickly wrote it and then handed it to me. "You pay in the front." He said, before walking away.

I looked down at the number and bit my lip before stuffing it into my purse.

I sat down on Zach's bed, playing with the hem of my dress. I kept on looking at the clock on Zach's nightstand.

2:30

what type of person calls someone at 2:30 and asks them on a date? no one normal, thats for sure.

"Open your heart to me, baby. I'll hold the lock and you hold the key." I groaned when I heard my phones ringtone burst out Madonnas 'Open Your Heart'. I turned in my bed, grabbing my phone from the night side. Without bothering to look at who was calling I answered anyways, "hello?"

"Well, hello there Cameron dear. How are you this fine morning?"

"Sleeping, Zach. I was sleeping."

"Someone is in a crabby mood today, huh?"

I groaned and turned toward the clock, "Zach, it's 2:40 in the morning what do you want?"

"I just wanted to ask if you wanted to be my date for prom, but you know if you wanna go back to bed-"

The memory was interrupted by no other than Zach. He walked into his room with only a towel on and I couldn't help but blush. Just a bit. "Oh, Cam. Your back from your girls night out I can see."

I nodded, "how come your still up? I told you you didn't have to wait up."

He shrugged, "I know, I just couldn't go to sleep." He walked over to the bed and sat down next to me. "Whats wrong?"

I gave him a look. "What do you mean 'What's wrong'?"

"Well, whenever somethings wrong you always wear this… scowl on your face. It's cute."

I couldn't help but think that for the second time today, Zach had said something I did was cute.

I shook my head, "Nothing." I sighed and then laid down on the bed. "I was just remembering stuff. The past." I smiled a bit. "Remember that time you called me at 2:40 in the morning just to ask me to prom."

He laughed and then laid down next to me. "Well, I would have called earlier but I was trying to figure out how to ask you. Sooner or later I just gave up and just decided to straight out ask you."

I turned toward him. "Why did you ask me to prom, Zach?"

He raised an eyebrow, "why wouldn't I? Your my best friend, Cam."

"That's not what I meant."

He turned so that he was facing me and just stared at me for a while. He leaned in a bit and his hand reached for the ends of my hair, playing with it. "I don't think you realize this Cam, but I've always had an interest towards you. Your not just any other girl, Cameron Morgan." He put a small strand of my hair behind my ear and then rested his hand on my cheek.

"I disagree with that. I am just the average girl."

He shook his head. "No way."

"Well, I act like the normal girl and I'm not very pretty. I'm just average all around."

"Lies. Cameron Ann Morgan, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. You are so much more interesting and way more talented and more caring than any other girl I know. I don't deserve you as my best friend but I am so grateful you are."

"Zach, I-" I sighed and closed my eyes. "Thank you." I whispered.
