Cami went home cursing Stacey all along. When she reached home, she found Father Pete and Marina talking to each other. Her eyes widened, realizing that Father Pete may reveal her little lie to Marina about her grandmother's breathing cancer. She approached them carefully and cautiously greeted him. Father Pete smiled at her. She simply sat beside them, listening to their boring talk.
When father Pete got up to leave Cami, took the initiative to escort him outside. As they came outside, she asked him "Father Pete, I hurt someone. What shall I do?"
Father Pete smiled, "If you intentionally wanted that person to get hurt, then it's a sin little girl. What have you done?"
Cami whispered, "I didn't mean to. It just happened."
"Then just ask for forgiveness from that person and God."
"God? But...why God? It's not like I hurt God."
Father Pete stared at her seriously, without blinking his eyes "Well, you did hurt someone. Hurting someone else means hurting God. If you don't ask for forgiveness, you will not be loved by God and may not reach heaven, when the time comes."
Cami was startled and blinked her eyes, mumbling "You mean I might go to hell........." Father Pete, sensing her distress, looked at her, being half-serious and half relaxed "Well, yeah. Why did you do something else?".
Little Cami recalled all her lies, and unfortunately, they are numerous. She smiled when she recalled David's pissed-off expression. She smiled at Father Pete sheepishly and stated, "Well, can you ask God to forgive me. I can't go to hell. I'm so cute."
Father Pete smiled and advised her not to lie and be a good girl.
*******
The next day Cami was sitting with the Freak club, but they simply ignored her. Then, she tried to tell them her new jokes, failing miserably as they completely ignored her.
Enzo made faces, looking at her. Cami rolled her own eyes," Enzo, you look stupid when you make faces like this. " Enzo pouted and stopped making faces. Enzo was about to speak to her, when Ian patted his hands and shook his head, asking him not to speak to her anymore.
Cami immediately confessed, "Guys, I'm sorry." When no one replied to her, she huffed, "Do you know if you guys don't forgive me, I may go to hell." Instantly all of them looked at her pouted expression and groaned at her comment.
"Looks like, this freak club, also, don't want you. "said Eric, forming a smirk.
Cami turned her head towards him only for a second "Go away, Eric. Don't interfere in this matter."
Eric ignored her and approached the freak club. Eric smirked looking at Cami and asked everyone, "Hey guys, what will happen, if a mosquito gets stuck in Cami's hair."
Cami also thought about what will happen. Eric approached Cami, and said, "It will get suffocated in her curly hairs." After this comment, he pulled her hair and ran away from there. Everyone laughed, Cami got furious and she ran after him.
As she was looking for Eric to teach him a lesson through the corridors, she found Gabi kissing a guy. Her first reaction was Ewww....but, when she paid attention to the boy, her heart fluttered hard. She kept her hands on her heart and kept looking at them.
Someone tapped her shoulder, but she ignored it. Eric again tapped her shoulder, but she shoved his hand away without looking. Eric followed her gaze and saw his brother, Neal, kissing Gabi. He noticed Cami drooling over his brother. He scoffed internally and pushed Cami towards them, being insulted.
