I walked up the steps of Abigail's house and rang the doorbell. Instead of Abigail answered, her mom did.
"hi Mrs. Marie. Is Abigail home? She was supposed to help me find my way around the school today."
"sorry Cameron. She just left. Maybe she forgot. Do you need a ride?"
"thanks. But i can just walk. Its not that far."
We said goodbye and i texted Abigail.
>Hey. Where were u? U were supposed to help me find my way around the school
She read it but didn't respond.

soon i arrived at school. I didn't see Abigail anywhere so i just tried to find my own way around. I made it to the school office and talked to the principal.
"also, are there any after school activities i can do or just help out with?" i asked before getting ready to leave.
"yes. You can help out at the drama department from 3:00 to 4:15." said principal romero.
I thanked the principal and walked out.

[Abigail]
I honestly have been trying to avoid Cameron all day. I didn't want to get close to him to be honest..
I was sitting at the back row of the school auditorium. After school i always helped out with the drama department. They were rehearsing a play and i was making sure everything look alright.
"hiya!" whisper yelled my friend Gabi sitting next to me.
"hey. Haha you scared me a little there. Geez. Focus on what we are doing."
Just then someone walked in the auditorium doors.
No..
"Hi Ms. Knight." Cameron said.
"Omg!" whispered my friend grabbing onto my arm."
"ow! What!"
"thats Cameron Dallas."
"Why does everyone know him?" i asked. "everyone keeps asking me about him. All i know is that he is my mom's friend's son."
"what the- you know him? Abi, he's vine famous."
I looked at Cameron and studied him as he talked to the Drama teacher.
So that's who he is. Cameron Dallas. The vine guy...
"Abigail!" yelled my ms. Knight.
I snapped out of my thoughts and ran down the stairs next to the many rows of seats. I ran up to her and looked to Cameron.
"Abigail you have to show Cameron around here okay? You'll be working with him in he drama department." she said.
I looked at him and started walking back stage making sure not to disturb everyone on stage. Cameron followed.
"Abigail."
Keep walking..
"Abigail.."
Just keep going..
"Abi!" he slightly yelled. He grabbed my shoulder and spun me around.
I stopped and looked at him.
"Why have you been avoiding me all day? Me calls. Texts?"
I sighed. "Cameron Im sorry but i just--"
My alarm went off telling me that it was 4:15 meaning i can go home. I quickly grabbed my bags and walked out of the auditorium and outside.
"Abigail wait!" Cameron said chasing after me. Once he caught up with me i couldn't walk away this time.
"Abi seriously what up? Can we just talk about this?" He said looking me straight in the eye.
I sighed. I let him lead the way. Soon we made it to a tree at a park in the neighborhood. We climbed it and we sat at one of the top branches.
"so..?" he asked looking at me while i started at the ground.
"I just- i never want to get close to anyone. I just drive them away. I don't know why. But I'd rather not be close to them at all that try to keep them close when i know they don't even want to be close to me. That's just what i 'do'... I make people leave." i said still looking at the floor.
[Cameron]
"Abi.." i said. "hey." i sad making her look at me.
"look Im not like anyone that left you. Okay? Im not one to leave like that. Hey ill be your friend and i won't leave. Ill be the friend that'll actually stick around cuz that's who i am."
"thanks.. Hey do you promise?" she asked.
I nodded.
We hopped off and made our way home.

"thanks for walking me." Abigail said as we reached her house.
"Yeah anytime. I mean my house is just a few houses down." i chuckled. "hey this time wait for me before we go to school?"
"yeah" she chuckled.
"Goodnight." i said before she could walk into her house.
"night." she smiled before closing her door.

That night as i lay in bed i honestly couldn't stop thinking about Abigail. I really want to get close to her but after what she told me i know i have to go slow.
