Chapter 17

I slammed the door closed behind me and locked it so Kevin wouldn't come inside.

My hands lingered on the doorknob for a few seconds and I closed my eyes and took deep breaths.

You did the right thing. He shouldn't have been so nosy.

I nodded as if trying to convince myself that I was right.

Now he knows everything, so maybe he'll leave me alone now.

"Camila are you okay?" Uncle Ben asked from the living room and I took my hands off the doorknob and started walking towards the living room.

"I'm fine," I stated and plopped down on the couch, exhausted.

"You were gone for a while," he accused and looked at me waiting for me to explain. I cursed under my breath.

"Sorry I forgot to tell you. I went to the movies with Dev, Daniel, and... Kevin," I said whispering the last part.

"Ok, tell me next time... Is there something going on with you and Kevin? Something I should know about?" he asked and raised his eyebrows at me and my face turned red.

"No.... no, no! Not at all!" I quickly sputtered out and he sighed.

"Aight, oh and make sure you get to bed soon. You have school tomorrow," he reminded me as I got up and walked out of the room.

"Okay!" I yelled back before shutting the door to my bedroom and collapsing on my bed.

I have so much to tell Genny tomorrow.

"Daniel likes you?!" she screamed loudly and I covered her mouth and looked around at the people staring at us.

"Don't tell anyone. I'm not even supposed to know," I pleaded and she nodded.

"Of course I won't tell anyone but... do you like him back?" she asked. I stared at her. Me... like Daniel?! No way!

"Nah," I answered and I think I saw a hint of a smile on her face but she quickly turned back to being serious.

"So anyways how was Mexico?" I asked as I reached into my locker and put my books inside.

"It was great! Oh that reminds me!" she yelled and dug into her bag and pulled out a framed picture. I stared at the picture and looked at her with jealousy.

"I can't believe you met C-Breezy without me," I groaned and looked at the picture of Genny and him.

"If I could've brought you there I would," she laughed and snatched the framed picture out of my hands and put it back into her bag.

"Why'd you frame it?" I scoffed and she rolled her eyes.

"Because I'm bully and its fucking Chris Brown! And I met him!" she announced a little too loudly so everyone could hear her.

I chuckled and then grabbed her wrist and pulled her to our next class: Drama.

"The bell don't ring in 5 minutes, why are you going to class so early?" she groaned and I ignored her and walked down the hall towards the drama classroom.

I had filled Genny in with the Daniel stuff, but I didn't tell her about Kevin or my mom because she doesn't even know about my mom, and well I'm not ready to tell anyone about Kevin. He can't find out... ever.

We walked inside the classroom where a few people were already sitting and we walked to the back of the class and sat down in our chairs.

"What do you think we're doing today? Genny asked and I shrugged.
