"Happy birthday!" I hugged Nash."Thank you!" Nash hugged back and pulled away, revealing his beautiful smile.
His smile reminded me of Cameron's. When Cameron was happy, he didn't bother to hide it.
I miss him.
It's been 2 days and a few hours since we've spoken to each other. I can only think of all the good times we've had together...and the bad ones.
The bad ones mostly included the times we were getting beaten up...because of me. I've always been teased and pushed around. Cameron was there to help, which led up to the both of us getting beaten and bullied.
But the good memories were floating all around my mind. There were too many to keep track of.
It's killing me inside but today I was with Nash to spend his birthday with him. Nash befriended me when no one else did, besides Cam, but I don't know what the deal between us is.
"Hello? Earth to Eva?" Nash waved his hand in front of my face.
"I'm sorry...I was just distracted." I said. "So what do you want to do?"
"Let's go to Chuck E. Cheese."Nash dusted off his shoulder and smirked.
"Are you serious? Because if you are, then I'm totally in." I put my hands in the air.
"I was joking but if you want to go..."
"It's your birthday. You pick." I smiled.
"Well, I kind of wanted to go to the fair that's going on. It's only like half an hour away but if you don't want to go-"
"We're going." I grabbed his hand and we walked to his car.

"Cameron, don't you think we're a little too big for this?" I whined as Cam pulled me to the Mary-go-round.
"No. We're only 12. We're still considered children so let's go!" We got in line and waited to get on the ride. "I need to piss. Do you see a bush near by?" Cameron started shaking his legs and looked around.
"No, but the bathroom isn't that far. I'll just stand here for you."
"Okay, but what if everyone thinks I'm butting in front of them?" Cameron looked around and smirked. My eyes widened at the many things he would possibly do "EVERYBODY! IM LEAVING TO TAKE A PISS BUT I WILL BE RETURNING. I EXPECT TO GET MY SPOT BACK SO IF YOU FIGHT OR ARGUE WITH ME, MY FRIEND AND I WILL FART ON YOU UNTIL YOU DIE!" He shouted.
"Cameron!" I hit his arm "He's just joking everybody!" I raised my voice and politely smiled. "Now go pee." I shooed him and Cam took off.
"Hey, look who it is." I saw that Madison and her group were behind me and her mom was talking to some guy so obviously she wouldn't notice what was going on. "I always knew you were a baby, Eva, but this is just sad." Madison snickered and pointed at the ride.
"I'm the baby? Last time I checked, I wasn't the flat chested freak." I smirked "and you're also in line."
"First of all, I'm only 13 and second of all, I'm here with my baby brother." That's when I saw the baby being held in Madison's arms.
"First of all," I used a mocking voice "a 13 year old should have something, even if they're 1 centimeter close to being flat but you have nothing. And second, you're here with your friends and your mom. Why do you need to go on the ride with him?" I put my hands on my hips.
"I'm back!" Cameron came back in line and stood next to me. "Hey Mads." He blushed.
"Hey Cammy." Madison waved and her friends copied her actions. "I was just telling Eva that her hair is really pretty today." I grabbed a strip of my hair and saw nothing but my straight light brown hair and a small part that was dyed pink.
I did nothing to it today.
"I'll see you guys later." Madison turned around with her annoying blonde hair slapping my face and started talking to her friends.
"I hate her." "She's so nice." Cam and I said at the same time. You probably know who said what. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.
*present day*
"What ride do you want to go on?" Nash asked. I looked around and saw Cameron in the line for the Mary-go-round with Madison.
"Let's go on that one." I pointed to the fast roller coaster. I picked any random ride due to my nervousness. I can't run into Cameron. He's going to blame me for something I didn't do (which would most likely be following him around) and I would blame myself because he gave me a good reason to.
"You like roller coasters?" Nash seemed surprised.
"Well...I guess."
Truth is, I've only ever been on 1 roller coaster, and that didn't end well. Let's just say that my mom had to buy 2 brand new shirts that day. One for me, and one for the guy that wasn't so lucky and got put next to me.
I've been scared of roller coasters ever since then, but everybody has to face their fears...right?
"Let's go." Nash and I raced to the line and once we got there, I couldn't help but look up and see the fast roller coaster speeding above us, making the people scream as loud as they could. "You don't look so go." Nash said.
I can already imagine how I looked. Pale face, hands shaking, I probably looked like I was about to puke. "I'm fine. It's just been a while since I've been on one of these things." I weakly smiled.
"Hey Eva!" I turned around and saw Madison with a big smile on her face "it's so funny running into you here. What's up?" She smirked at my face when I noticed that Cameron was trying to look away from me.
"Nothing. I'm just here to hang out with my friend." I patted the middle of Nash's back since I couldn't reach his shoulder.
"Oh...I knew you couldn't be on a date. That would be crazy. I don't see you as a girl that likes to date or have a relationship. That's probably why that kid Luke broke up with you. Anyways, Cam and I are very excited to go on this ride, aren't we Cam?" Cameron nodded and looked down.
My hands started sweating due to the anger that was building up inside of me. I just wanted to punch this girl so hard. But I can't. Why, you may ask.
Well...
1. Her boyfriend that may or may not be my best friend is standing right next to her which would ruin my chances in becoming his friend again.
2. She's able to hurt me way harder then I can hurt her.
3. She's a cry baby and her mom would have me suspended from school which can't happen because I have everything planned out so I can't ruin anything if I want to get those plans done.
I just want to get out of this line and go home. Maybe Nash and I could hang out there. That would be better.
"This ride isn't really catching my attention. I think we should go on a different one. Do you want to, Eva?" Nash asked. I wonder if he's some type of mind reader or something. Maybe I made it obvious that I was miserable.
"Yeah. I don't really like roller coasters anyways." We got out of line without saying goodbye to Madison or Cam.
"Thank you so much." I repeated multiple times while hugging Nash.
"Anything for you."
"What?" I asked out of confusion.
"Nothing." He quickly said. We continued walking but I couldn't get what Nash said out of my mind.
