Chapter 19: Apparently, you're not good enough.

I hated choosing. I couldn't choose between my brain and my heart. My brain told me to choose Arden and my heart told me to choose Cameron. What in the freaking umderworld should I do? If I chose Arden, he was a player. If I chose Cameron, he was a cheater. Which one is the worst?

Anyway, yesterday I had a great time with Cameron and his grandma, Gam. She was a very nice woman and showed me a part of Cameron that I didn't know. She showed me that Cameron could be more than the bad boy façade he had put on. And made me more undecided. "Psst, Cinderella!" the annoying voice called behind me. We were in Math class, having an exam. I had finished mine five minutes earlier and had ten more minutes to spare and to be annoyed by the dork behind me.

"What?" I whispered back annoyed. I turned towards him and he was looking elsewhere. "Cameron!" I whisper-yelled. He turned to me and smirked.

"What?" he repeated.

"What did you want?"

"I think you're imagining things Nerdhead." he said, pretending to be obvlious. We were back to Nerdhead again.

"You called me!" I said, louder than I intended to.

"Anything you want to share with us, Ms. Garfield?" Mrs. Graham interrupted us. Oh boy!

"No." I said quietly. I hated that woman, but I didn't want to get a detention. Cameron did though.

"Nothing that you haven't still shared with my father." he spat. The whole class turned their attention to us. Did he really need to say that?

Mrs. Graham stood there speechless for a moment. Ha! What would she probably say? "Cameron Court, out now!" she shouted. What the-

"It's not his fault that you share salliva with the principal." the words came out of my mouth before I could process them.

"Both of you, detention!" she screamed louder. Cameron grabbed my hand and pulled me up. Then he shot a death glare towards the fuming teacher and dragged me out of the classroom. What was going to happen now? Who cares? The teacher's face was totally worth it. As we arrived at the end of the hallway, we both burst into laughter.

At the end of our laughter, I was holding my belly because it hurt from laughing so much. Cameron was panting. "That b*tch!" he cursed. Then he turned to me. "You... that was awesome." he laughed.

"Well, she deserved it." I said, proud of myself. "But what about the detention?" I asked worried.

"You didn't like the last time?" he winked. Yeah, the last time was when we pranked the jocks. That was something to remember.

"It was, but I don't want to end up dead." I cringed.

"Speak for yourself." he smirked.

"So, what do we do now?" I asked. Cameron though about it for a moment before smirking evily. We were about to get ourselves into trouble. Oh great! Why did I have to open my big mouth and ask?

"Come with me." Cameron grabbed my hand and dragged me to the direction of the principal's office. What was he trying to do? We arrived at the office in a matter of minutes. He let go of my hand and opened the door. A sense of déjà vu came to me as I watched the inside the office. I rememebered when I met Cameron for the first time and when I helped him find out that his father cheated on his mother. It had been two months since then. I hadn't realized that I had zoned out until Cameron shook me. "Cinderella!" he called.
