Opposites Attract - C.Dallas

The bell rung. I picked up my books and shoved them in my bag. I got up and walked out of class. I trotted to the science block and met up with Caitlin. We both walked to the canteen together. As soon as we walked in, there was a crowd surrounding in one corner.

"What's going on there?" A girl asked me.

"Probably a fight." I responded.

"YOU ASS!" One of the boys shouted.

"YOU F*CKING D*CK!" Another screamed.

"It's Cameron and Scott." Caitlin told me.

I was shocked. Me and Caitlin rushed over there. We saw Cameron punch Scott repeatedly. Caitlin was terrified but I could see the anger pulse through her eyes. I ran over to them and pulled Cameron away.

"What the f*ck are you doing?!" I yelled at him.

Cameron didn't reply. I picked Scott up.

"Cmon, lets take you to the medical room." I said to Scott.

He just whimpered.

*****

The nurse told me to stay with Scott. Caitlin went back to last lesson. The nurse had finally cleaned him up and granted him permission to go home.

"Let me take you home." I offered.

"Thanks." He replied.

We both walked out of school and got in my car.

*****

I had dropped Scott off at his. I was now at mine, alone as always.

*****

I was starting to get tired. Before I went to sleep, I received a message from an unknown number.

Unknown- I need you

Me- Who is this?

Unknown- Cameron

I quickly saved his number. Looks like he's got a new number. I continued to text him.

Me-Cameron, what the f*ck do you want?

Cameron-Its too long,please can I come round?

Me-Your a jerk! After today you actually wanna come round and act like nothing happened.

Cameron- Please! Someone's injured!

Me-FFS! I live round the corner from mums. I have a black garage. When you see the buzzer, press Smith and I'll let you in.

Cameron- Thank you! I'll be there in 10.

Me- Whatever.

Ten minutes later, he barged through the door. I was shocked. Nash had a bullet hole through his arm. His blood was pouring out a lot. They've been doing dodgy sh*t again.

"Ciara?! Please do something!" Cameron pleaded.

I grabbed two bottles of vodka and the first aid kit. I ran over to Nash and Cameron and kneeled on the floor. I unscrewed one of the bottles of vodka and passed it to Nash.

"Drink it! It will help with the pain." I demanded.

He nodded and started to drink it. I put on a pair of latex gloves. I examined his arm. I could see the bullet.

"The bullets still in there. I need to take it out." I said.

"Just do it!" Nash yelled in pain.

I heavily sighed in annoyance and took out a rope and tied it around his arm,above the bullet wound. I tied it tight. I unscrewed the other bottle of alcohol and got a cotton wool. I took the cotton wool and soaked in the alcohol and grabbed the sterilised tweezers.

"This is gonna hurt Nash." I warned.

He gulped and Cameron held onto Nash's hand.

"Squeeze as tight as you want." Cameron assured him in a calm tone.

Nash nodded slowly and started to drink the vodka again. I gently held onto his arm and got in a comfortable position. I pinched the tweezers on the bullet and slowly pulled it out. He was wincing in pain. I then quickly pulled it out and blood continued to ooze out of the wound.

"OOOOOWWW!!" He screamed.

I covered the wound using the soaked pad and he screamed even more.

"Cameron! Undo the wrapper for the bandages." I demanded.

He let go of Nash and ripped the wrapper. He undid the bandage. I pulled the cotton wool away and the blood had stopped oozing. A tiny bit of blood was coming out; nothing serious. I took a couple of gauze swabs out and covered the wound with them. I then grabbed the bandage off Cameron and started to wrap Nash's arm. Once I was done, I asked Cameron to hold the loose bandage. I ripped some micro tape and taped the bandage so it was stable.

"Its fine now. You need some rest Nash." I said.

"Thanks." He quietly murmured.

"What do your parents think of this?" I asked them both.

"What do you mean?" Cameron asked and Nash nodded.

"Still doing this sort of stuff. What do they think of it?" I repeated and their eyes widened.

"Urh.." Nash said.

"Just tell me." I said with annoyance, clear in my tone.

They stood silent.

"Did you both get kicked out?" I asked.

"No. We left them for their safety." Cameron replied looking sad.

"Well were do you both stay at?" I questioned.

"A mansion that Hugo owns. Jack and Taylor are there at the moment and that's it." Nash replied.

"Where are the other two?" I asked.

I remember Carter and Sam (Wilkinson) being with us in the gang. Where have they gone now?

"You ask a lot of questions." Cameron laughed.

"I don't care." I said harshly.

He then had a straight face and got rid of his stupid grin.

"Well!" I yelled.

"They changed." Cameron started.

"Tell me another time. I don't wanna hear this anymore." I said.

"You better keep this quiet!"Nash yelled referring to his bullet wound.

"I wont say f*ck all! Just don't involve me in your crap again!" I yelled back.

"The good girl is getting feisty." Cameron said cockily.

"And your starting to annoy the f*ck out of me." I said and got up.

I turned and walked to the kitchen and threw the latex gloves in the bin.
