True Blue (Canterwood Crest)

Chapter 12 - Did you know nutella and marshmellows are really good?

This one is dedicated to EVERYONE who has read, voted, commented and added True Blue to their reading list. It means so much to me and your support is my motivation to keep on keeping on when the going gets tough. I am currently flying 14 hours to leave Aus. I have 22 hours of traveling. Yikes! Only 7 hours of flying left though! 😖 btw I decided to be awesome, you now get someone else's POV too! Let me know who's POV YOU would like?

I slump against my seat as the teacher explains how all numbers work on the 0.1, 1, 10, 100, 1000 line etc. What they've been telling us for years. The bell rings and I sigh in relief usually maths is my fav but it just draaaged on today. I stand up pack my notes away and fold them into my shoulder bag, then sling it over my shoulder, it was finally lunch. I walk to our table and set down my bag on the table then join the queue. Today it's hamburgers or a toasted sandwich with ham, cheese and tomato. This choice was too easy. I'm a burger girl.

I ask for a burger then wait for the lunch lady to serve me.

"Burger girl, huh?" I hear a voice, voicing my thoughts.

"How could you tell?" I say sarcastically but with humor.

"Magical powers!" The guy says, "didn't you know?" He says in mock horror.

"Nope." I say laughing.

"I'm Tom, you're Clarke's friend, right? The 'new girl'?"he does emphasis on the new girl part by using his fingers as inverted commas. As he says Clarke his eyes brighten a bit. I knowingly smile.

"Yep, besties at first sight." I reply grabbing my lunch. And smiling. "See yah Tom, I'm Camber. You're welcome to sit with Clarke and I anytime, I'm not fooled, you had a twinkle when you mentioned her." I stick my tongue out. I slide into my seat and begin eating. A while later Clarke sits down roughly.

"Tough morning?" I ask.

She nods.

"Btw I met a cutie who 'liikes' you." I say knowing she'd be interested.

"Who!" She looks up suddenly giddy, I laugh at her reaction.

"His name is Tom." I look over my shoulder and motion toward him, tilting my head. She squeals and grabs my arm.

"You mean Tom. Thomas Looke?" She asks. I nod, "I've had a crush on him since fourth grade." She dead pans. I actually burst out laughing. I'm going to be playing match maker. I can see it happening. So I motion him over, he holds up ten fingers. Hang ten he means, he's going to come soon.

"I'm going to be busy setting you two up." I say honestly.

"Cami!" I nod, "don't you dare! It's embarrassing." She says blushing.

"What's embarrassing?" Says a male voice, it's Tanner, "spill, I need to have blackmail."

It's hard to look at Tanner without picturing Sabrina behind that bush. Agh.

Clarke begins "Tanner, behave yourself, just because I have a picture of you naked as a five year old-" I splutter and start laughing.

"You have a photo...of...him naked...." I say between laughs.

"It's not funny!" He fumes, "it's unfair!" Then he too bursts out laughing. Then Clara until all three of us are packed up laughing. Everyone stares at us. This just makes it worse, we laugh harder. I stop suddenly seeing Sabrina. She's shooting daggers at me. I don't understand why...

Tom walks to us and asks Clara to come with him, I smile encouragingly at him and he gives a small nervous one back.

Camber smiles at that Tom guy and then they're off. Perfect. I don't think Camber knows it but she's actually pretty, her long wavy locks fall over her shoulders. Her hairs' colour is impossible to decide on. She has brown chestnut hair but as your look, it has blond highlights, making her hair look golden. Her eyes are enchanting the colour of the sea but they have little flecks of green in them. A few freckles dust her nose. Her lips are the shape of a rosebud and a natural red. But that's not the best thing about her, it's her personality. She makes people smile when she talks to them. I haven't heard her yell. She isn't nasty about anyone who isn't nasty to her. She is kind and friendly but best of all to me she is a good person.

"Marshmallow" I say to her. She raises her eyebrows. "You're like a marshmallow, it's impossible for you to hurt someone purposely and you're sweet." I elaborate. Suddenly embarrassed I look down.

"Nutella" she says smiling, "you're like Nutella, rich in kindness and friendliness and you are sweet," she blushes. Then gets sad suddenly, "I can't hide it from you," she says, "I saw something yesterday, she doesn't deserve you." She trails off. I'm confused what could she mean. She slips her phone out of her pocket opening the photos app and hands it to me. The last photo was taken from the road by the stables and as I look I see to people making out in it. This would of been strange since she has a photo but I look closer and see the girl is Sabrina. She's kissing someone, and that someone wasn't me.

I'm not surprised. She always looked at other guys but this just confirms my suspicions. It stings but the way Camber looks at me in worry, calms me, I'm ready. "I'll be back soon." I say standing up. I walk to Sabrina and her friends noticing the smirk she sends at Camber.

"Hello babe." She says in her high pitched shrilly voice. It annoys me, it annoys me so much.

"Sabrina why are lying to me? To yourself." I ask her.

She feigns innocence, "what?"

"Sabrina you cheated on me, I know you did, I have proof. And if you don't leave my cousin, her friends and I alone I will send it to everyone in this school, everyone."

She stares at me shocked.

I clarify, "Sabrina I'm breaking up with you. Goodbye."

Her whole table stares at me in shock, my friends sit with her, it's the table for the populars.

I walk back to Camber and she gives me an impressed look. "Okay mister Nutella, now I'm craving that so you're going to have to take me out to The Cafe later and buy me a Nutella hot chocolate with marshmallows."

I smile, that sounds great so I voice my thoughts. "That's cool by me." I say then we both grab our bags and leave.

We say bye as we enter the hall. When she's tuning the corner she yells, "you're paying." I laugh and give a thumbs up.

***Hmm I wonder what on earth the other two are doing...Clarke, Tom, come out come out wherever you are. What do you think. Nutella and Marshmallow. Please tell meeee. Beau or Tanner?
