It's because I think he’s jealous and I am thinking, I might want to give you, my full support for you to go out with Newton, you should flirt with him a bit, you could kiss him if you have to
Emerald! Are you crazy? I screamed as she ran off and the bell was rung almost immediately.
I got to class pretty early as the instructor wasn't even in yet, which gave me just a little time to think about what Emerald and her silly thoughts and also about Newton's words against Cathy. I can't bring myself to believe him, Cathy seems like such a nice person, I could believe Cassie would be capable of such but Cathy,I will never. What if Cathy's actions or friendliness towards me, is just an act or maybe I got her all wrong and she saying Cameron is jealous, the odds are pretty slim, he can't be jealous, all his girls are hotter than me. Just maybe; he was jealous and if he was why now when I have decided to let him go once and for all? Why does it have to be now? I thought as I rubbed my temple
Padgett, we didn't get to talk, remember I said we need to talk. Cathy said taking a sit closer to me, smiling a bit, her voice was what pulled me out of my thoughts
Um! firstly I would really love to apologize once more. I guess it was in the heat of the moment I said those words I should have known you would never do that and doubting Cameron, is one thing I felt so ashamed of. She added
You are a very nice person and beautiful at that. I said trying to change the topic
Thanks! I am glad we are going to get along. She said
Yeah! so you want to talk about what? I asked curiously
Um! it’s about Cameron?
What about him? I asked suddenly interested in whatever she wants to say as my heart beat pretty fast.
I really don’t want you to think I’m trying to take him away from you or anything, I know he would want to go to the party together with you because he said he wanted you to come with him but it’s our first party as a couple together which is why I really want us to go together, I will really appreciate, if he go with just me. I hope you don’t mind?
No; of course not; like I said he’s all yours… I said as she smiled
And I get the fact that you guys have been close friends ever since your childhood and that you left for awhile and you only returned few days back but I really hope you can give me the chance to also get close to him
Pardon? I asked confused
What I meant is, I hope you won’t mind if we start to hang out more often, if he doesn't have time for you as much as before because of me, it's just that I really like Cameron alot and he likes me too so we really can’t stay away from each other for long. I hope you understand me
Perfect, of course I won’t be the third wheel.. I said as the history instructors walked in, my heart was in pain and right now, I couldn't concentrate, I kept thinking that someday Cameron would have to leave me completely just to spend more time with her.
Through the lecture, half of my mind listened to what the teacher had to say and the other half kept trying to find meaning to Cathy’s words as well as Newton’s, so I wasn't surprise when time flew by quickly and the bell was rung for noon break
I could not avoid them this time since I would have to sit at the same table with Cathy and Cameron and I’ve try creating alot of sceneries in my head as to avoid them but I couldn't find anyone. I had no choice than to walked towards them, as I walked towards the cafeteria, all I could imagine in my head, is Cameron and Cathy kissing and everyone laughing while I looked away so sadly like they were mocking me, I sighed trying to pushed that thought from my head, unlike other days during lunch I wasn't looking forward to having lunch today
I got to the cafeteria and thankfully no one was seated at his usual table that have become mine as well, so I decided to grab my lunch and eat at least to keep my mind busy till they arrive
Snacks and a bottle of soft drinks please… I said to the lunch lady, trying to bring out Money to pay for my lunch
“I’ll pay don’t worry. Cameron said behind me
No thanks, I can pay for my own food… I said not taking a glance at him
Too bad I already paid. He said handing the money to the lady before grabbing my plate heading to our table
I don’t need your money, I can pay for my own food and if I can't, I will just skip
Okay then I guess this is mine you can go get yours
What?
You said you can get your stuff, so I paid for it automatically it’s mine you can go get yours….He said as I stamped away angrily, here am I standing in front of the lady, repeating my order, trying to sound normal
Oh young miss, I am so sorry but we've run out of snacks, everything left has been booked …She said as I stared back at Cameron to see him smirking victoriously at me
You could stop been a brat, come over here, I will share with you… He said as I took my sit
I would rather starve… I said
Okay! It's your call. He said munching on the food then glance at me occasionally and moaning in delight just to rile me up, as if that is not enough, he had to comment
This is nice. He said then moaning, then my annoying tummy growl
Shit! I curse inwardly then place my hands on the table, can I have some. I said through gritted teeth
“Sure creamy, as long as we will go back to normal. He said grinning
Good, just give me… I said grabbing the plate
What do they call it again? He look at me as I try to recall a word. Probation; yes that is it, you are on probation the next time you do something stupid not only would you get the silent treatment but I promise you, that will be the end of our stupid friendship. I said before munching on the snacks
I wondered what is taking Cathy, this long. He added
Oh that! I also want to introduce Emerald to you officially. I said when I was done munching on the one in my mouth
Okay! I really want to see that naughty girl that you want to replace me with. I gave him a faint smile
I’ll go clean up I’ll be right back… I said standing up
Alright don’t take too long… He said then sipping on my juice, I was done washing my hands and was about to head back to the cafeteria as they would all be waiting for me, when my eye caught Newton standing by my locker, that was when it hit me that I had to inform him to cancel our plans for Saturday morning and I that I am no longer joining his music club
Oh hey Newton… I said smiling
Hey I was just passing by and decided to stop by, I wish I could see you.. He added grinning
Well here I am, your wish had been granted
I guess so
The thing is, Newton; I’m really sorry I have to cancel our plans for Saturday morning, I can't come over for some lessons and I am not joining music group anymore, something important came up
Really? He asked disappointed
I really would love to go with you but it’s family related that’s why… I said trying to lighten the mood
Oh! I get it now, since it's just the lesson but the party, you are still going with me, isn't it? He asked smiling then I nodded to reassured him
I guess I’ll be going now everyone is waiting for me
Fine then but don't you think, we are missing something
Missing something? What is it?
A hug since we are in school. He said grinning
Look at him, but his smile keeps expanding and it's enticing.
Well one hug wouldn't hurt… I thought before hugging him lightly but he placed his hands on my waist hugging me harder as we stayed there for a moment until I felt someone pull me off from him to himself and I’ll recognize that cologne anywhere, anytime
