Runaway Love

Chapter 7: Skipping School

"What the hell?!" Cameron said with a raging fury. It made me tense up a bit, because I wasn't expecting such a harsh reaction. Yeah, he's really protective of me, but flipping out right in front of a guy I'm making out with is slightly startling.

"Cameron...please." I sighed, hoping he would just leave. I was so drunk that I could barely think before I spoke anymore.

"You're coming with me." He grabbed my wrist sharply and pulled me out of the room with no further arguments.

"What is wrong with you?" I hissed angrily. He didn't have to be such an 'older brother'.

"Me? What's wrong with you? You don't have to give yourself up to some...freak just to boost your confidence." My mouth opened, but no sound was escaping.

"How dare you? I don't need any extra confidence! I'm completely normal!" This was a total lie. I just wanted to feel loved for once, and being with whoever the heck that guy was made me feel like that.

"Stop lying to yourself, Blaise!" He wrapped his hands around the back of my neck. I tried to squirm out of his grasp, but his grip remained.

"Let me go! This is harassment!" I screeched, punching his chest with my fists. People stared at us with disbelief, except no one jumped in to help.

"Calm down." He whispered in my ear. Slowly, I let my muscles relax. He nodded his head, then released me.

"Why can't I be happy?" I said under my breath. I looked down at the floor.

"Because life isn't always full of fairytale endings." I stared up at him, like he just proposed to me. Who knew Cameron Johnson could be so clever?

"It's not fair. I just want someone to care about me." Suddenly, he looked deep into my eyes.

"I care about you. I hope that's enough for you." Next thing I knew, I was embracing him in a bear hug.

"Thank you, Cameron." I said, squeezing tightly then letting go.

"Its...whatever." His faced turned red and he hurried away while wrapping his fingers around my hand.

\*\*\*\

I groaned, rubbing my head as I rolled over to my side.

"Get up, Blaisey Boo." Cameron started shaking the bed, until going back to sleep was impossible.

"What do you want?" I yelled. I opened my eyes and started hissing like a cat. I had the worst headache ever. I felt like a mess.

"What the heck?" He started laughing, then ripped the curtains open.

"Ah! The sunlight! It burns!" I held my hands in front of my face to block out the huge light right in my eyes.

"What are you? A vampire?" I made a nervous face and looked away.

"Danget, I got caught again. Aw, shucks." I snapped my finger in a swinging motion, then smiled, cheesily.

"You're so cute when you fake being a vampire." I brought the blanket up to my face, only showing my eyes.

"Who said I was faking?" My mind pictured me uncovering my mouth and huge fangs biting into his neck at this moment. Instead, I uncovered my mouth and snarled, looking the least bit scary.

"Whoa...that gave me chills." I punched his shoulder while holding back a grin.

"Why did you make me up if you're just gonna make fun of-" I paused, "oh crap! We have school!" I raced out of the sheets, but Cameron's long arm slammed into my face, causing me to land on my bed again.
