The Night Walk

Chapter 19

The pause between the two is really long to the point that the silence is so loud that even though no one can hear anything, for somewhat reason, they hear the silence themselves.

'Wait, does he want to be friends with me!? Wait, don't fall for his talking, he might be either faking it or actually wants to be friends with me, I DON'T KNOW!!!' is what Cameron thinks, sure he appears to be confused but inside, he's panicking.

Meanwhile with Sam's thoughts 'AAHHHH!!!! HE PROBABLY THINKS I'M WEIRD!!! I NOW THINK THAT THE REASON HE AVOIDS US IS BECAUSE HE DOES'T WANT TO MAKE FRIENDS AAHHH!!! But I really do want to get to know him though...' and his face appears to be calm but he's more of having a panicked mind than Cameron.

Luckily, Cameron gained his mind properly "Why do you want to get to know me?" Cameron stares at Sam who's still giving him the smile he had earlier, without him knowing that this calm smile on Sam's face is actually a funny disguised for Sam's panicked mental state.

"Oh, you know, since we're going to be classmates for our entire stay in the school, why not get to know each other, since almost everyone in this class knows each other" which is a half lie and half-truth since he does wants to get to know Cameron but not everyone in this class still knows each other fully yet.

"Geez, but fine, since you've been nice to me these past few days, I'll let you know some about me" Cameron looks outside the window, again staring at the cherry blossom area.

Sam tilts his head as he looks at Cameron "And that is?" he asks.

"I don't like too much physical touch, and I don't like noisy people" Sam could see Cameron's smile with a threat after seeing the dark expression on Cameron's face through the reflection of the window.

"Uh, okay" Sam with a nervous smile as a sweat rolls down his forehead.

And finally, Cameron looks at his direction with a small calm smile "And also, thanks for the notes last night, I really appreciate it"

For the first time even it's only been 4 days since they became classmates, Sam could not help but stare at Cameron's smile because this is the only time he saw this boy in front of him smile, and it's a beautiful sight for his own eyes, which causes him to pause.

'Wow, I didn't know that he's actually this good looking when he smiles, he looks so precious...'

"Hello?"

"HEY!" then with the, a strong smack on his arm causes him to snap out of his thoughts.

He winced in pain "AH! wait, I'm sorry, what?" he rubs the area that's been smacked that now has a red hand mark.

The smile on Cameron's face turned into an irritated one "Are you even listening? You're paused into thin air" he then pulls his hand back.

"Ah sorry..." Sam scratched his head awkwardly.

'Now I want to see him smile more...' he feels like he wants to cry like a child just to see the smile again.

And for Cameron's point of view of seeing Sam's face drooped, he only has one word in his mind 'Puppy?'

Meanwhile, in another room, Vincent walks inside the student council's club nervously, he sees the other student councils inside the room which made him for nervous, but the President is nowhere in sight.

"President is inside his office" a girl with dark purple wavy hair and dark purple eyes points to the direction of a door next to the bathroom, and as if she could also read his mind that he's looking for the President.

"I- I see, thank you Vice President" he bows nervously and heads to the door and hesitantly opens the doorknob creating a click sound.

'The Student Councils are terrifying' he thoughts with cold sweat running down his face as he could still feel their presence behind him as they are minding their own business, he hesitantly walks inside the room.

"Hey President... why was I called here?" as he enters inside, he shuts the door behind him close and after that, he stands in front of the desk of none other than the President.

With the President staring at him up and down, such an intimidating look "Yes, I did call for you, we are here to talk about your club room... so? How is it?" 

"Uh, it's doing great President, why do you ask?" he places both of his hands behind him, still being intimidated by the President's stare.

"Well, your club has been open for like, a long time, and no offense Vincent" he now looked at Vincent in the eyes "Your club will be shut down sooner or later..." 

This statement shocks Vincent in fear "Huh!? But why!? My club is doing great though" he argues back but not without the scared tone in his voice.

The President then raises his hand to his should level to shut him up "Listen, not many students read books this much these days and it's a room that's take over a school's place" he then puts his hand down "And again, no offense, but you don't have any club members for that club room to be alive"

And this indeed offended Vincent "Wait, so you allowed an Occult Club to be in this school and not my Reading Club?" he argues back.

The president sighs "Can't do anything about those students since they're too stubborn and will be most likely to summon bad energy if we offended them..." there's a small defeat in his voice.

"And for your information President, I now have a member in my club" with the information he gave to the President, he might be able to keep his club room.

"I see, but not enough member... you need minimum of 5 members so you can keep you club" and with this information, Vincent thought of an idea for him so save his clubroom.

So Vincet places his hands on the desk and looks at the President "Then give me more time to get members to join my club then President" with an eager tone in his voice, the President could sense an annoying challenge in this guy, so he sighs giving him hope.

"3 weeks then, and that's final" he answers which made Vincent happy as he backs up from the desk.

With a smile he said, "I will not let my club down President, I'll show you" and with that, he opens the door open and walks outside with full hope having to save his beloved clubroom.

And with an unexpecting thought from the President as he smiles lightly 'How cute...'
