Two Worlds Collide

Chapter One

My hands shook slightly as I walked the short distance to where the boys were. 

Deep breath in, deep breath out. You can do this. Don't think. Just do. You're the last person in line, no need to rush. Just be yourself.

I fiddled with my bracelets and walked up to Cameron, who was the first down the line. 

"Hey! It's great to see you!" he said while ungulfing me in a big hug. 

I smiled and hugged him back, partly getting my glasses knocked off from the force of which he grabbed me. 

During our hug, I remembered I was supposed to tell him something from Kellie. I looked up at him and tried not to get distracted. 

"My friend Kellie, from Maryland, says hi and that she misses you." 

His mouth curled into a smile and he pulled away slightly. "Tell her I miss her too! Wait. That sounds familiar....Do I know your friend?" 

My brain begain racing and I sort of shrugged, trying to buy myself some time. 

"Um...Probably...You've met her like, seven times before." 

A thoughtful look crossed his face. "Hmm....Does she have light brown hair, blue-green eyes?"

My eyes widened. "Uh, yeah." I stuttered. I pulled out my phone and showed him a picture of her. 

He took my phone in his hands and his smile widened. "Oh, I know her! She seems like a great girl. That's funny you two are friends." 

I giggled at his fast talking and tried to keep up. 

"Yeah. She's awesome. You'll be seeing her next week. And it's actually because of you guys that we're friends."

He raised his eyebrows. "Really? That's so cool!"

I smiled. "Mhmm. It's funny what music can do."

 He glowed a bit and nodded, still slightly focusing on my phone. 

I'm not sure what possessed me to leave Cameron with my phone, but the next thing I knew, I was hugging Zach. 

"Hey." he said softly while hugging me. 

"Hiya. How are you?" I asked in a small voice. 

"Great! How are you?" he looked at me and was genuinely curious. 

"I'm....I'm really good right now."  I replied and smiled. 

He smiled and nodded. "That's good. Oh! I like your shoes."

I had suddenly forgot what shoes I was wearing and looked down. Ohhhhhh. 

I was wearing sneakers with The American Dream lyrics written on them. I smiled and looked back up at him. 

"Thank you." 

He smiled and pulled me in for another hug. 

I closed my eyes and hugged him back, extremely happy this was happening. 

Someone coughed, I'm assuming it was Mikey, and I pulled away.

Mikey was looking at me so I smiled and went to hug him. 

"Hey babygurl!" he practically shouted. 

I jumped a bit and giggled. "Hi!"

He hugged me tightly for a quick second, and then we talked a little bit about woolly mammoths.

How that happened, I'm not sure.

Just as I was about to wrap things up and pose for my picture, Cameron flings my phone at my head.

"Don't forget your phone!" I squinted as he threw it and tried to catch it.

 But, to my misfortune, it missed my hand by an inch and went plummeting to the floor. 

I gasped, but before I could do anything, Zach dove for it followed by Cameron. 

Mikey and I watched what would seem like a comedy show when Zach flung his arm out and swatted Cameron away with one hand and picked up my phone with the other. 

Cameron flew backwards and slammed into the wall, laughing hysterically and shouted, "Whoa!" 

My eyes widened and I froze in my place, not wanting to get accidentally smacked by someone. 

Zach stood up and handed me my phone. "Finally. Here you go." He smiled. 

I took the phone and said thanks, then checked for any scratches or chips. No damage done.

Well, that's good.

I then noticed my phone was on the 'contacts' menu on my phone, and 'Kellie' was highlighted.

My brows furrowed and I wondered what ex-zach-ly Cameron was doing with my phone.

"Something wrong?" Zach asked, noticing my confused expression.

"Um...I don't really know....My phone had my friend Kellie's number highlighted, but I wasn't on my contacts list when I gave it to Cameron....." My eyes widened.

Cameron looked away innocently and I noticed he had his phone in his hand.

"Cameron.....what did you do?" Zach asked.

"Nothing......" He replied.

I raised an eyebrow at him.

He sighed. "I kinda took Kellie's number......"

My eyes bugged out of my skull and my mouth dropped open. "You...Did what?" was all I could manage to say.

"I also texted her......" he added.

I gripped Zach's shoulder to steady myself since I didn't trust my feet to keep me upright at this point.

He bit his lip. "Would you mind helping me with something?"

I looked at him curiously. "What would THAT be?"
