It all happened so quickly that I didn't know what to make of it. I was frozen in my place. Just as Cam left me.
One moment we were dancing and it all felt very cozy. The other moment he wanted to talk. And I could tell that this talk meant trouble. No conversation starting with we need to talk is pleasant.
I regained myself and followed him. We reached a secluded area of the hall where the music didn't deafen us.
We stood there for five minutes but none of us spoke. He wanted to talk then why isn't he talking ? This was alien for Cameron. He said just what he wanted to.
"Cam..What is it?" I asked him.
No reply.
"Cam..Cam..Cameron Conors" I tried to snap him out of his thoughts raising my voice a bit.
He met my gaze and realised that I was talking to him.
"Back to earth Mr. " I was getting impatient with his attitude.
"I really like you Jessica Adams." These were the only words that came out of his mouth and the words that stopped anymore words coming out from my mouth.
"W-What.." I stuttered. I was not expecting this.
"Sorry Jessie I don't mean to surprise you but I do..I like you since the day you started dealing with my maths traumas..All your nerdy behavior and violent attitude makes me like u more....." He was blabbering his confession but I just switched him off.
It felt as if someone had just given me shock. No way in hell I was prepared for all this. Cameron was supposed to be my best friend. It was always supposed to be this way. He can't feel anything for me. Why will he choose me when he can have any girl in the school ?!
He knows I have no place for all this stuff and high school flings. Things like like and love didn't exist in the dictionary of Jessica Adams! He was the one who knew this very well.
"Cameron..stop.." It was all that could come out of mouth.
"Jessica..Please I m serious..I was never more serious in my life about a girl."
" Cam you of all people know..know that I don't have time and place in my life for feelings like like and love. My dreams and these feelings don't ought to get together. I can never fall in love."
" Jessie..everyone has to fall in love in life. Your life would be incomplete without it."
"No it is not and it never will be!" I was very firm with what I said. This was what I believed in. "And Cam we all know that even if something happens it will be nothing more than a high school fling. Tell me is my time worth this fling?"
I didn't even wait for his reply. I turned away and rejoined the celebration. But
in this moment I knew that I had lost something very precious for the sake of my dreams. I had lost a gem.
People were enjoying the party but I was no longer a part of it. I was physically present in all the celebrations but mentally my thoughts were elsewhere. I really like you..These were the only words in my mind. How could this happen ? It was too much to process the recent events.
One thing that relieved me was that I didn't face Cam for the rest of the party. I don't know how I would've faced him.With his confession and my rejection things ought to get awkward between us.
The party ended on a good note.
It will past midnight when I called it a night and we all headed for our home. Anna and Maggie were really tired and retarded as soon as they saw the inviting bed. But I couldn't convince myself to sleep. I was thinking about this topic more than I should.
Were his feelings this important to Cam that he would sacrifice our friendship for his stupid feelings ?
To freshen up my thoughts I went to the roof top. The night sky always seemed to calm me down. I felt that nature always finds a way to give us peace. The night breeze and the twinkling sky did help me a lot. I looked down at our appartment gate and was surprised to see a figure there. I ran down the stairs in a hurry. Who could it possibly be?
I grabbed a bat on my way which I possessed due to my younger brother and was ready to attack the intruder. I was even assured to call the cop. I reached the gate very slowly.
It seemed like a scene out of a thriller movie. I could hear steps nearing me and just before the person could surpass me I attacked him. I started hitting him with all my force. I was sure that the bat would give him enough bruises for a lifetime.
"Hey stop..just stop it." My victim was pleading. And then I registered a sense of familiarity in his voice. I stopped at once.
I looked down to see who it was. The only source of light was the moonlight so I couldn't make out the features at once. But it surely seemed like a person I knew.
I placed my bat down at once and tried to recognise the person.
"Jess..calm down..its me! Cam..." At that moment I had no guilt of beating an innocent. He deserved every penny of it.
"Wow Cam..So what is it that brings you at my doorstep at 1 am! " My voice was filled with anger.
"Actually dear..you left without an answer and I think you deserve an answer before you start framing your own." His nervous self was far gone. It was just the cocky Cameron.
"Your answer makes no difference Cameron. Just go away." I was in no mood to be hostile.
"You never know." He replied with a wink. " Darling your so called high school fling will be worth your time when I make you fall in love with me." With these words he made a dramatic exit stopping all words from my vocal box.
I sensed a challenge in those words and I know Cam never loses a challenge. The mere thought scared me and I knew that I was deep in shit!
What the hell has my life become. From simple to complicated in a day..that too my bday.
