Letting out a big sigh, I carry on until I get to my house. Dropping my bag in the floor, I run upstairs to my room, sit on my bed and check my phone.
2 new messages.
I open the first one.
From Mom -
"Hi honey! Major traffic on the way home from work, could be another 2 hours or so. Already running late to pick Brooklyn up from kindergarten!! Can you please go pick him up? Thanks! x"

Why oh why is mom always so late back from work?!! She's supposed to be here by 3:30, but this past week she's been so late coming home.

My heart skips a beat when I see the contact name! - Cam 💕

"What's up gurl! Hayes just told me that he asked Alina out! She said yes!! So happy for them! Anyways I was wondering if I could come over for an hour or so? I need some help with this algebra homework😘"
Smiling from ear to ear, I texted back:
"Hey! Sure you can come over, gimme 5 minutes😘"
I change quickly into an Aztec print crop top, high waisted shorts, baby pink ankle socks and white Converse. I put my phone on standby in my pocket, and start walking to Brooklyn's kindergarten.

As I get to the bottom of the road, I turn the corner and guess who's there! The one and only Cameron Dallas!! He looks so hot in his Nike shirt and khakis, with a blue Ratchet bag casually swung over one shoulder.

"Fancy seeing you here!" Cameron says.

"Hi! I said give me 5 minutes! I've gotta go get my brother Brooklyn from kindergarten."

"Oh, sorry. Can I come with you?"

"Sure."

As I look into his eyes, I smile at him and he smiles back. Such a small thing I know, but it makes me feel all warm and happy inside. Cam is definitely my new crush!

We chatter away happily as we walk to kindergarten in the light of the pink setting sun.

In the only moment of silence, Cameron looks up at to the sky and says
"I love how the clouds look like cotton candy in this light. It makes everything much more.. romantic."

As soon as he says this he looks down at me and smiles that heart melting smile. My hand twitches in happiness and it brushes against his. My face could have been mistaken for a tomato right then!
But to my surprise, he intertwines his fingers between mine, and gently squeezes my hand. A tingle makes its way up my spine as I smile to myself, still taking in what has just happened.
