Things Unsaid

1. Meet my bff!

The fellow came forward with a somewhat sullen, defiant air, and put down his hands to assist. At that instant there was a sharp click, the jangling of metal, and Sherlock Homes sprang to his feet again.

"Hey..! Nerdy" I was lost in the thrill of Sherlock Homes when I heard someone saying nerdy. I don't know how, but whenever someone says nerdy, I feel like I am being referred to. It has become a word to describe.

The voice seemed very familiar and I looked up to see the source of the voice. It was Cam, my best friend. I rolled my eyes and continued with where I left. Obviously Cam wasn't more important than Sherlock!

The thrill of the book increased and so did his irritation. He hated being ignored for a book or just being ignored. Period. After all he was Cameron Connors ! I wonder how the hottest guy in school ended up being my best friend.

We met two years ago. He was a disaster in maths and I was more like Euclid compared to him. So, I was given the duty to tutor him. I had never even imagined to have a real conversation with him, forget about being friends. But when I was acquainted with him , I found out that he was really nice and maybe that's why I let him in my so called shell. My first guy friend and that too the most popular guy in school. He was and is The Cameron Connors.

Since then he always hung out with me.Yea, I became the reason of envy for many girls and was always greeted with glares when I was with him. At lunch, he along with his friend Jake used to hang out with me, Arianna and Margaret. In no time I became friends with Jake. And I would say, none has a better sense of humour than him.

We had nearly all our classes together leaving Maths which he eventually left becuase he could not keep up with it. Gradually I found out that we had a lot in common but still we were north and south. Like the moment he entered Dramatics, he knew that it was meant for him. What caught his attention wasn't acting but direction. But I ran away from this subject. I had a kind of stage fear. The only time I could face the audience was while giving a speech. I definitely had something for speeches and debates.

People said Cam ought to be an actor. Although, I am aware of his passion for direction, I couldn't agree more with the people. He had killer looks and that smug expression on his face could charm the heart of any girl. I considered him just a friend but at the end of the day I am also a girl and no girl could deny the sexiness of the guy.

Oops..did I just say sexy??

Whatever! In a moment my book was gone. He snatched it and held it high. 

"Hey! You jerk...give me my book back!" I said while stretching myself to reach for the book.

He definitely knew how to use his height. He stood as tall as six feet which meant he towered over me as I stood at only five feet three inches.

My face turned red. Not the red which all the girls turn around him but this was the color of rage. You are so dead, Connors. I thought.

I tugged at his shirt and tried to snatch my book back from him but he wasn't willing to let it go this easily. He freed himself from my hold and ran outside the cafeteria. My instincts told me to run after him and so I did. He really made the wildest part of me come out.

"You asshole..stop running and face me! Give the book back or I swear you will be dead soon." I sweared panting from the run.

"Someone is swearing a lot these days." He said with that stupid smirk plastered on his face. He definitely didn't plan on giving up and so did I.

I chased him around the entire school. People who didn't know what was happening would surely get the wrong impression.

Finally when my lungs were out of oxygen,I stopped running. Who was I kidding?  I surely couldn't beat the athletic champion but atleast I tried.

I sat on the bench of the basketball court facing Cam. The running had really no effect on him. He was just standing there holding the book still challenging me to grab it.

I swallowed my pride and admitted this defeat.

"Come, grab a seat." I offered him to sit.

He agreed and was seated next to me.

"So, you couldn't actually defeat me." His voice was filled with pride. I couldn't help rolling my eyes.

And the next thing I know is that I turned to grab my book back from him. I took hold of his hand and snatched my book back from him.

But he was quick and grabbed my hand which was holding the book. In this process he brought me closer to him and I was partly sitting on his lap. We were this close that I could feel his warm breath on my skin. My breathing quickened. My body was responding to his nearness. From my peripheral vision I noticed his eyes on me. For once I thought that he might kiss me.

The very thought disgusted me and I  shrugged all these thoughts aways. With a push on his chest, I propelled him away.

Ohk..This had become awkward. He was my best friend and being in a situation like this with him made me uncomfortable.

I was uncomfortable and so was he. I could feel it in the air.

To break the silence I showed him my book and said , "I think you can call this a victory." This time I had a smirk on my face. The victory which I finally acquired after the awkward pose we were in. I thought.

" Still, you couldn't complete your Sherlock mystery. So technically I win sweetheart." He said giving me a wink.

This guy could be really good at comebacks. But atleast it lightened the air around us.

"And what was the reason for you disturbing me and my sweetheart ? " I asked changing the topic.

"Oh ya, I completely forgot about that. There is a party tonight. Which you will be attending in any condition. As I know you don't have appropriate clothes for tonight , you are going shopping with Jake and Margaret. See you tonight." He said and I was about to object when  he gave me a peck on the cheek. " Bye" He winked and left.

I was left on the bench processing all the events of the day. He would be my best friend but he had never kissed me. I was speechless! What the hell Cam!
