Hate Is A Strong Word

5

We just finished eating dinner and we're just chillin now. Our moms ran to the store and our sisters went with them. Neither Cam or I felt like going so we're just sitting in his room, tryna find something to watch. "Funny or scary?" He asks me. "Scary obviously." I respond.

Horror is my favorite genre, with comedy as a very close second. Same with him, so luckily we can both agree on a genre to watch at least. We continue looking for a scary movie to watch until we come across one we both wanna watch.

We're laying on his bed watching the movie and it's not too bad so far. Some jump scares here and there, but I like that the movie overall is actually kinda scary. Most times, scary movies rely on jump scares and the movie is just lame, but this one's pretty good. A scare comes up, causing us both to jump.

I didn't realize I curled into him until I notice he's right over me. I shouldn't have did that, and I should definitely move...but I can't help but look in his eyes as he looks into mine. I feel like I can't hear anything but my heart beating in my chest, and not cause of the movie. One minute, we're looking at each other, no longer paying attention to the movie. Next thing I know, we're kissing.

We're actually kissing, and I don't feel...weird about it. I can't lie, Cam is fine as hell, I'd be lying if I said otherwise, but I don't even pay attention to that because he's normally annoying me. I'm not oblivious to his looks but I like personality as well when I'm interested in someone, and I stopped caring about his long ago.

We keep making out and he moves between my legs, still on top of me. I don't know what it is, but the way we're kissing feels like we've been wanting this, but obviously that's not true...? I pull his shirt off and just as he starts to pull mine off, there's a knock at the door. Fuck.

We quickly move apart from each other and act like we're paying attention to the movie. There's a slight knock again and the door opens. "Hey, sorry guys, didn't think you heard me. Sweetie, we're about to go, you ready?" My mom asks. I nod. "Yea, just gotta grab my shoes." I tell her. She says okay and leaves the room.

I get up and start to put my shoes on, still trying to process. I'm guessing Cam is too cause he hasn't said a word either. As I walk over to the door, he gets up. "I'll walk you to the door." He says, putting his shirt back on. I give a small smile. We leave his room and head downstairs.

My mom and sister are standing at the door talking to Ms. T and Ki. They finish their conversation as we walk up. "I completely forgot we rode separately so if you wanna stay, that's okay." My mom says to me. Me and Cam do a quick glance. "It's fine, I have to get ready for school anyway." I respond. I have so many emotions going right now I don't know what to think. We all say our byes and give hugs and things.

"See you tomorrow." I say to Cam as they're still saying bye. "See you." He says, giving a slight smirk and licking his bottom lip. I bite my lip and turn to leave. As we get out to our cars, we give hugs and kisses to our mom. We're all going home but still, you never know what can happen.

"So... you and Cam huh?" Ava randomly says to me, pulling me out my thoughts. I look over at her. "What?" I ask, trying not to sound panicked. I'm not really that good at lying, I wish I were good but I've always been very honest about everything. I can avoid saying anything, but when I'm asked questions, I feel like I give it away that I'm lying.

"Unless he started wearing glitter lipgloss, that looks like the exact one you're wearing by the way, I'm assuming you guys kissed." She said, smirking. I shake my head and roll my eyes. I scoff. "Kiss? Girl please. Me and Cam don't see each other in that way. At all." I say, putting extra emphasis on that last part.

She giggles. "You must think I'm an idiot." She mumbles, looking out the window. I decide to just not respond, hoping she just drops it. "I wonder if Ki noticed." She says, like a thought out loud. She pulls out her phone and quickly gets to typing. "Don't text Ki." I say to her. She stops typing and looks over at me, waiting for me to talk. "Okay we kissed, but it was only for a quick second and we didn't do anything about it." I quickly say.

She starts smiling wide. "Aww if you guys date, that'd be so cute!" She said. I start to talk but she gasps. "And me and Ki could be sisters!" "Okay chill out. It was only one kiss. That's it." I say, shaking my head. "And don't tell Ki. She'll just bother Cam about it and I don't need it to get awkward." I say.

What the hell is going on all of a sudden? First I have this stupid dream, and now it damn near came true. I can't. I just wanna go to sleep and not think about anything for a while. "Okay, I won't say anything." Ava responds. I thank her. The rest of the car ride home was pretty quiet. I can't get what just happened out of my head and I can tell Ava wants to ask more questions but she's not, thankfully.
