cammie's p.o.v.
chapter 2
2/17/16
i wake up from the bright sun shining in the room. i rub my eyes and check my phone. there aren't very many notifications. today i was going to go around the neighborhood to see whats gucci. i get dressed in an oversized maroon sweater and some leggings. i go to my vanity which didn't have anything on it yet. i went back into my luggage to get my makeup bag. i filled in my eyebrows and and put some mascara on. i never really wore much makeup. it was honestly crazy, 14 year old girls wore a full face of make up. like how do you do that??? you're only a year older than me and you have time to put on a full face of makeup while i can barley eat breakfast most days. i grab my socks from my drawer and put them on and grab my converse which were in my closet. i take those downstairs. i check the weather to see if i needed a jacket. it was about 50 degrees so i decided to just grab a hoodie just in case. i tell my parents i'm going to go and look around the neighborhood. i grab my going out bag. it was a grey backpack that i used during the weekends. i put my hoodie inside and grab my new house key and stuff that in my bag as well. i grab my earbuds and leave the house.
as i predicted it wasn't very cold like most days. it was pretty nice out. i walk down the street and see there is a playground. there is a set of swings so i decide to go hangout there for a while. i was going to be starting school next week and i didn't know anyone here. i was interrupted from my thoughts when a boy with brown quiffed hair approached me.
"uhh hi?" i say
"hey, i've never seen you here before, did you move into the house down the street?" he asks
"oh um yeah." i say blushing slightly because he was really cute and guys like him never talked to me in maryland.
"i live next door to that house actually." he says smiling so i could see his braces.
"oh thats cool." i say
"how old are you? you look around my age." he asks
"oh um 13." i tell him
"cool so am i." he says
there was an awkward silence before he asked, "so what school are you going to be going to?"
"um the closest one here i guess i'm not really sure. my parents just told me it was a walking distance from home." i say quietly
"oh yeah you mean kenmore middle school?" he asks
"yeah there." i tell him.
"we can walk to school together if you want and i can show you around the school if you want." he says shyly
"oh yeah that would be great actually." i say smiling up at him.
"do you want to hangout we could get to know each other better." i ask
"yeah sure let me just ask my mom." he says
"oh yeah me too." i say
i quickly text my mom to ask if i can bring wait i didn't even know his name.
"whats your name?" we both say at the same time. we both laugh and i tell him it's cammie.
"my names jacob." he says
now i text my mom asking if i can bring jacob over. she responds not to long and tells me it's fine.
"my mom said yes." i say looking up at him.
"okay cool so did mine." he says smiling.
we both walk to my house which isnt very far away. there was a comfortable silence between us as we walked down the street. i grab my keys from my bag and unlock the door. i walk in to see my mom sitting at the kitchen counter on her phone.
"um hey mom this is jacob."
my mom looks up from her phone and waves at jacob smiling.
"um we're going to go to my room." i say awkwardly.
"okay." she says
jacob and i went up the stairs into my room.
"nice room." he says looking around
"thanks it's took my like all day yesterday to do." i say
we sit at my bay window looking outside in an oddly comfortable silence.
"hey i can see my room from here." he said
"really? thats your room?" i ask
"yeah." he says smiling at me.
"did you choose this room so your room would be right across from me?" he says cheekily.
"jacob are you accusing me of choosing this room so i could be blessed by your presence from my room?" i ask laughing
"i think i am." he says laughing as well.
"you know what tbh i came here to have a good time and i honestly feel so attacked." i say wiping a fake tear. "like if you know how i feel why would you say that you put me in such an uncomfortable situation." i say imitating kim kardashian.
we joke around with each other for a long time. i think i'm going to be great friends with jacob. he was so funny and down to earth he was just a great person to be around. he knew how to make me laugh with his lame jokes. it was around dinner time that he decided to go home. we both walk downstairs and i say good bye to him locking the door.
smiling i walk into the kitchen where my mom was cooking dinner and my dad sat at the dinner table waiting for dinner. i greet him and take a seat across from him. once my mom is done cooking we eat dinner. when i'm done i put my dishes in the sink and go upstairs to my room.
i look out to see jacob sitting at his bay window on his phone. i knock on my glass trying to get his attention. he looks up and smiles at me. i smile back. he points to his phone, and i give him a confused look. he clicks on an app and i see it's the phone app. i nod my head to show him i understand and use my hands to show him the numbers to my phone number. after i tell him my number i get a text on my phone. i go to my phone and see it's from an unknown number. the text says:
unknown number: hey it's jacob :-)
i respond back saying;
cammie: hey whats up?
jacob: nothing much just on instagram
cammie: oh cool whats your instagram?
he tells me his instagram and i go to the app and search his name. he had 1.3 million followers. shocked i look through the account to make sure it's him and it is. i text him my instagram, guessing his instagram was flooding with followers. when he follows me and i accept it i get a whole bunch of follow requests.
i look up at the window and see him already looking at me. i open the window so i can talk to him. he sees that i open up the window, and opens his too.
"you have a lot of followers" i say
"oh um yeah." he says slightly flustered.
we keep talking like this for the rest of the night. him telling me his lame jokes again and me laughing. when it's late i decide to go to bed. after i change into my pajamas and plug in my phone he texts me.
jacob: goodnight cammie :-) ❤️
cam: goodnight jacob 💞
after sending him the text i smile and go to sleep.
