LIAR LIAR?

I wake up to the bright sunlight shining in my eyes. I should really remember to close that before I fall asleep next time. I think to myself, staring at the curtains placed on each side of the window. The bed shifts slightly and I freeze and turn my head to find Cam snuggled right up into me. I gasp but close my mouth instantly, not wanting to wake him.

I look down and find that he has his arm wrapped around my waist and I sigh. I'm trapped. Instead of prying his arm off of me and waking him, I decide to just lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. I feel Cam stir a little a few minutes later and sigh a breath of relief.

To my disappointment though, Cam doesn't wake. Instead he wraps his arms tighter around my waist and snuggles in closer to me. I awkwardly clear my throat and one of Cam's eyelids cracks open. He stares at me for a long period of time until both eyes break wide open and he pushes himself away from me quickly.

"Sorry." Cam appologizes quietly, clearing his throat as well as he sits himself upright on the edge of the bed.

"It's okay." I reply and I blush realizing I mean the words. A few weeks ago I wouldn't flipped on him and thrown a dose of sarcasm at him, but not now.

Cam stands from the bed, pulling the blanket with him and wrapping it around his waist as he leaves the bed. I raise an eyebrow and I watch as Cam's cheeks turn a bright shade of pink. "It's morning." He explains shyly and I furrow my eyebrows in confusion until I finally understand and I have to hold back my laughter.

"Go." I tell him, once I've calmed myself down, pointing to the bathroom. Cam does as I say and grabs his bag on the way to the bathroom, closing the door behind him once he's there.

Once the door is shut, I roll onto my side and reach for my phone. Surprisingly, it's still alive. I pull up Kaleb's number and dial it, holding the phone to my ear and wait for him to answer.

"Nat? Hey!" Kaleb's voice blares through the other end. I flinch, having just woken up; having someone scream in your ear isn't very pleasent.

"Hey, we need to talk. Meet me at the mall at noon." I reply quickly, not giving him any time to reply before hanging up and throwing my phone back down on the desk top. It's quiet in my room for a long time until the bathroom door creaks open and Cam strides out of the bathroom and into my room.

I climb out of bed and make my way to my closet, grabbing a few articles of clothing and heading to the bathroom. In the bathroom, I start a shower and step into the hot water and let it wash over me. I have a short flashback to lastnight and I remind myself to check on Rayne before doing anything else today.

After I'm cleaned off and dry, I dress myself in a little black dress that I had grabbed from my closet and brush my hair out, letting it dry to their natural waves. I apply some natural makeup to my face and a smokey eye effect to my eyes. Feeling pleased with my appearance, I grab my clothes from yesterday and throw them in the laundry basket before leaving the bathroom.

"So what are we going to do today?" Cam asks from the other side of the room and I look up to find him feeding Ryder with the fake bottle provided by the school.

"Well," I begin, taking a deep breath. "I have to check on Rayne, then I have to go and talk to Kaleb and figure shit out y'know, then we can do whatever." Cam nods his head and I go to sit beside him. Cam scoots over a little bit more and I take a seat on the bed.
