Just Keep Swimming

Chapter 3

     Cameron and I stay and talk for a while with the other guys. They ask how me met and I said we met on the bus last year. So kind of a lie, but who cares. Then they get into when did you start dating and instantly we both said,"today."
     We walk away and he brings me to the nurse because my head just got worse from talking to the guys. I thought it would make the pain go away because I would be talking and forget all about it, but NO! My head gets worst each time someone talks.
     We go right into the nurse's office, she greets us, gestures Cam to sit in the seat in the office or she said you can just go to your next class, and she walked me over to where she wanted me to sit. Cam told her he was going to stay because he didn't want me to get worse at the nurse's office and not know where to go. So she said...

"That's fine! You can sit in any seat you want besides my chair and the one this young lady is sitting in," then she grabs her tools.

She was very nice. Talking to us, making us laugh, giving us tips on doctors, and so on. She would whisper things to me about Cameron like...

"He's cute!"
"He looks at you in a more than friends way."
"I think he likes you!!"
"Do you like him?"
"I think you do!"

     I giggled and laughed each time she whispered something.
     Cam left the room to go to the restroom because she said this might be a little while. The truth was she was done and she wanted to talk to me about Cameron in private. So when he left she said the things she whispered to me...

"Avery!," she says," he's cute! Don't you think?"

"Uh," I reply," yeah I guess so."

"He looks at you in a different way. And when I say different, I mean TOTALLY DIFFERENT! 100% DIFFERENT!!! Come on! You can't possibly say you haven't notice!," she responds

"Yeah since this morning. I just met him this morning on the bus and he caught me when I got dizzy from hitting my head," I say.
"I think he likes you, Avery!"

"You do?!"

"Of course I can see it all over his face," she laughs," and here's the real question... Do you like him!?"

"I... Uh... Me?!'" I stutter," I don't know maybe a little."

"Ha Ha! I knew it," she chants," I saw it in your eyes too, baby girl!"

     I laugh as she chants and claps and goes on and on about Cam and I. We finish laughing and conversing as Cameron walks back in. She checks me out one more time and then let's us go. She walks us over to the door, Cameron goes out first and I go to move next to him, but she grabs my arm and whispers in my ear...

"Go get him tiger!"
I smile and laugh.

~~~  

   I go to the office with Cameron and ask to call my mother. The nurse didn't really help. Well not with my headache at least. My mom picks up and I tell her the situation.

     "I'm sorry hunny but I'm working and I can't just drop everything. I wish I could cause if I could you know, I WOULD!," my mom says as I hear her type away on her computer.

She's the manager at some big fashion place.

"Well, what i am I going to do! My head pounds anytime I say or hear someone else talk and when I walk I fall to the ground cause I'm dizzy."

"Wait... Have you thrown up at all?"

"No why."

"Call your father and go to the doctor. I think you might have a concussion. I would be positive if you threw up, but you don't throw up much. So call your father okay bye!," and she hung up the phone before I could even put one word in.
