The end of freshman year ended too soon, and Cameron found herself spending as much time with Taylor as she possibly could, the two of them either baking cookies, in Taylor's swimming pool, or in either of their rooms. Mama Swift took the two of them into the cities too, and they found out that they could spend the whole day there as well.

Unfortunately, Cameron was set to attend a three week summer camp up in the cities due to her mother's business trips that were set on the same three weeks. Taylor had offered up her room for Cameron, and the two of them made a whole slide show for Mama Swift and Madison, but Cameron's mom found it too bothersome to the Swift's household so ended up sending Cameron to the summer camp anyways.

It was a fun camp, but she missed her best friend terribly, and if accidentally brushed her lips with Taylor's in her excitement to see her best friend, that is between her and Taylor and no one else.

If she was not with her mother or Taylor, she was with Drew, who was learning to drive in the summer after getting his permit. His parents loved Cameron, and he always claimed that she was trying to steal his parents away from him. Cameron just laughed in response.

Then came sophomore year, and Cameron felt more freedom once Addison finally graduated. Although she loved the girl dearly, sometimes she was too controlling for Cameron's liking. Hannah took over next. She looks sweet as long as you don't get on her bad side. If savage has a name, it was Hannah.

Cameron spent the rest of the year avoiding the head cheerleader whenever possible by pulling Drew into whatever corridor they can just to avoid her. "-Public display of attention-"

"Makes people uncomfortable," Drew completed, and pulled Cameron into a kiss. She leaned into it, letting his familiar frame pull her into safety. "Sometimes I wonder if you just like to kiss me."

"Shut up, you have a very kissable lips," Cameron hit him in the chest, and he rolled his eyes. A familiar mob of blonde hair suddenly walked past them and Cameron pushed herself away from Drew. "On second thought, my best friend is very huggable and she looks sad. See you after school?"

"Wouldn't miss it," Drew pecked her lips before going the other way, and Cameron ran to catch up with Taylor.

"Hey, darling, what's wrong?"

Taylor glanced around the crowded hallway before pulling Cameron into an empty classroom. Cameron looked at her best friend with concern.

"Another record label rejected my album, they don't think a sixteen years old girl can make it far in this industry," Taylor sighed, and Cameron pulled Taylor into a hug. The latter buried her face in Cameron's hair. "Maybe they're right, the music industry isn't the easiest thing to go into."

"You're Taylor Alison Swift, you can do anything you set your mind to," Cameron muttered, sinking into the warmth of Taylor's embrace. She looked up to meet her best friend's eyes. "Trust me, one of those labels are going to see that amazing talent hidden beneath the soft eyes and you will get all those adoring fans, and meet all those new people, and then you're going to forget me-"

Taylor pressed her finger to Cameron's lips. "Nope, I am never forgetting you, you hear that? Even if I have amnesia, you, Cameron Elsher, are not something easily forgettable."

"Then you better damn well believe that you are going to get a deal, and then you're gonna be an international singer."

"It just takes time," Taylor took a step back, but her arms are still loosely wrapped around Cameron. "Thank you for the pep talk."
