People Aren't What They Seem

TWO

*Grace's Pov*

I smile as the bell goes signalling the end of the day. I pack up my bag before leaving the room after the teacher dismisses us.

I make my way through the halls and towards the benches where Cameron and I decided to meet.

I sit down and grab my phone out of my bag. I start scrolling through Instagram when I feel a presence by my side, thinking it's Cameron I stand up.

"Oh it's just you" I say as I see Shawn standing next to the bench.

"Ouch" Shawn says pretending to be hurt.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Oh I'm coming to your place" He smiles.

"Um no, your not. I'm working on my English assignment with Cameron who should be here soon" I say.

"Why would you invite him to your house?" Shawn laughs.

"One, we have an English assignment to do. Two, I want to get to know him" I say as I sit back down on the bench.

"You, Grace Johnson, the most popular girl in school wants to get to know Cameron Dallas, the schools nerd?" Shawn questions with a slight laugh.

"You have a problem with it?" I ask as stand up.

"Yeah, I do actually" Shawn says with a stern look on his face.

"Wow Shawn, stop whining, it's like you don't want me to have any other friends apart from the popular group" I say putting quotations around the word popular.

I start walking towards Cameron who just came out of the building.

"This is low for you Grace" Shawn shouts.

I flip him off as I continue walking to Cameron but once I'm close enough I notice the blood on his lip and his black eye as well as his bleeding cut above his eyebrow.

"Cameron oh my gosh" I gasp as I jog the rest of the way to him.

"It's nothing" He mumbles.

"Who did this to you?" I ask looking at his wounds.

"It doesn't matter" he sighs as a tear rolls down his cheek.

"Come on, let's get you to my house so I can clean you up" I say as grab his hand.

*At Home*

I open my front door and pull Cameron gently inside. I place my bag on the ground and lead him to my bathroom.

"Sit" I say pointing to the closed toilet lid.

"You don't have to do this" He sighs as he sits down.

I ignore what he says as I grab some cotton wool as well as my first aid kit from my medicine cabinet.

"This may sting a little" I say as I put some disinfectant onto the cotton wool.

I kneel down and dab his lip. He flinches as it comes in contact with his lip.

"Sorry Cam" I say sympathetically.

I take his hand in my free one as I move onto his eyebrow. After that I put a bandage designed for those types of injuries on his eye.

"Thank you" Cameron says.

"Anytime" I smile as I press my lips against his cheek.

I pack everything up and lead Cameron back into my room.

"Okay, I'm not sure about you but I really want to do the analysis on a love poem" I say as we sit on my bed.

"I was thinking the same" Cameron smiles.

"Okay, let's get this assignment started" I smile.

*4 hours later*

"And we are done with this part of the assignment" I smile as I high five Cameron.

"Um oh shit, I need to leave um, I'll see you tomorrow" he rushes.

"I'll drive you home" I smile standing up.

"Uh no, it's fine um, I'll talk later" he rushes before quickly leaving my house.

I stare at the door for a minute before looking down. Well okay then.

I pack up my school work that is sitting on my bed and place everything neatly on my desk.

I walk downstairs and towards the fridge. I grab some yoghurt and place it in a bowl before eating it quickly.

Once I'm finished I rinse the bowl out and place it in the sink before running back upstairs wanting to go to sleep.

Once I reach my room I get changed after brushing my teeth before I lay under the covers.

I grab my laptop and put my sleeping playlist on before setting it on my bedside table.

I close my eyes and let sleep take over my body.
