Tammy's POV:
Being alone helped. At least for a few days. After that, it started to feel lonely pretty quickly. I could technically hang out with the others, but July was also there, and I kinda felt like some distance was better for me. On the other hand that meant that I was kind of all on my own. Naturally, I stuck to Ally a lot, who did her part of being a good sister and hung out with me.
I also spent time with Zach though. Sure there was a little awkward time at first between us. He wasn't that good at hiding how unsure he was about how to act around me. It was as funny and cute as it was annoying and childish really. But a week later we were back to our usual talking terms again. His occasional teasing did become more of what I expected it to be between guys though and less flirty.
