CAMERON'S HEAD LAID ON ARABELLA'S CHEST. Arabella and Cameron were having a cozy moment, snuggled up together while watching The Hunger Games.

As they enjoyed the movie, Cameron couldn't help but express his admiration for Peeta, saying, "Bro, I would do anything for Peeta. He's so fine." Meanwhile, Arabella took a puff from a joint and blew the smoke towards the wall, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. Arabella shared her own thoughts, saying, "I would do anything for Katniss. She's who I aspire to be. One day, I wanna overthrow the government."

They caught the muffled voice of Johnny Lawrence discussing the building. Arabella took another puff, casting a glance toward her window. "Who's that?" Cameron inquired, pointing to the teenager in the red and white hoodie. Arabella nonchalantly shrugged, "New neighbor. He's cute, your type. Nerdy," she added with a wink, eliciting laughter from Cameron. "Are you referring to Eli?" she asked inquisitively.

Arabella smiled knowingly. "Well, duh! He consistently comments on your Instagram posts, wishes you happy birthday, and seizes every opportunity to talk to you. He's a sweetheart," she nudged Cameron, who grinned, her cheeks tinted with a blush. Just as Cameron was about to respond, a knock on the door interrupted them. Arabella groaned, prompting Cameron to shift her head off Arabella's chest. As Arabella headed towards the door, Cameron's phone pinged with a notification.

Arabella noticed Cameron smiling at her phone, which made her a bit suspicious. As Arabella walked back over, Cameron looked up and asked, "Who was that at the door?" Arabella couldn't help but smirk and replied, "Someone in a red and white hoodie. They wanted to ask about my water pressure." She chuckled at her own words and sat back down, grabbing her joint to take a smoke.

But Arabella still saw Cameron smiling out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but ask, "What's got you all smiley?" Cameron didn't hold back and turned her phone to Arabella, showing her the comment that Eli had left on her post. It seems like Cameron received a nice comment and couldn't help but feel happy about it.

Arabella playfully clicked her tongue and exclaimed, "Girl, he's totally down bad for you! You gotta get his number on Monday, no excuses," Her plea made Cameron burst into uncontrollable laughter, unable to contain her amusement. "Come on, you know it's been years since I've genuinely liked a guy. It's like they have this magical power to make me run away at the first sign of 'ick'," she explained, emphasizing the struggle she faces in maintaining romantic interest.

Arabella casually shrugged her shoulders, her expression nonchalant as she responded, "Well, if Eli doesn't turn out to be the one, you've got my new neighbor as a backup option. I actually asked him about it, and he confirmed that he'll be starting school with us on Monday." Cameron shook her head in disbelief, a playful smirk tugging at the corners of her lips as she retorted, "Wow, you're really taking on the role of a matchmaker, aren't you?" Arabella couldn't help but smirk back, her eyes sparkling mischievously as she quipped, "Hey, if that's what it takes, you can just call me the matchmaker from now on."
