The Night Walk

Chapter 11

After that awkward moment, Sam decides to just continue walking so he could still have his peaceful night walk with some music in his ears.

Cameron gets off the bed and heads goes to the bathroom, he washes his face so get rid of some sweat, that did feel awkward after that far away staring contest with Sam, because he himself didn't even notice that he's actually admiring Sam's singing, he could feel his knees trembling and he remembers that he's still sick, but his fever is slowly going down. He touched his forehead, and yep, still hot, he goes outside the bathroom and goes back to his room to take some pajamas so he could go back to sleep so he can rest.

'Right... I almost forgot that he's the one who helped me get home... I guess thanking him tomorrow wouldn't hurt I guess' he removes his buttoned shirt and puts on his top pajama.

After minutes, he tosses his uniform in the laundry basket and heads back to bed, as he lays back down, he felt something off.

'Wait, why does it feel wet-... oh, it's just this stupid wet towel' he remembers that he had this wet towel placed on his hot forehead earlier, so he just puts this on his desk side and lays back down on the bed, which feels good as he is sick. As he closes his eyes ready to drift for a long slumber, he hears that voice again, and this time, it's a different song.

(Song by The Lumineers - Ophelia)

"And I don't feel no remorse~" and that voice, which is Sam, singing and passing by his house again which causes his drifting to sleep being interrupted.

'Does he always do this every night!? If so, I'm will not hesitate to punch that guy if I go back to class' 

"And you can't see past my blindness~" Sam continues to sing as he walks almost out of sight of Cameron's house.

"Oh, Ophelia~" he sings a bit louder "You've been on my mind, girl, since the flood~" fortunately for Cameron, Sam's voice seems to be going away, probably to go home now

'Finally, he's going away...'

"Oh, Ophelia, heaven help the fool who falls in love~" and with that final line, he's completely away from Cameron's house.

'Okay, I don't know if I should punch this tomorrow or thank him for taking me back home tomorrow... oh wait... I'm still sick, I am not attending to school tomorrow haha' he happily thought remembering that he's going to be absent for tomorrow.

And with that, he's now finally able to close his eyes and drifting slowly to sleep.

The next day...

"Aww, shorty isn't coming to school today" Kiera stares at Cameron's empty desk

Sam just puts on a straight face looking at Kiera "Remember, he's sick so he needs to rest for like two more days I think"

Kiera pouts "Aw boo hoo, I just had a fun way to tease him huhu" and this made Sam sighs in annoyance.

"Please, don't bother him even after he recovers, you'll make him angry though" he could also tell that the angers and irritation that Cameron had showed them isn't even that all, he puts on his headphones to avoid from listening to Kiera's yapping.
