Cameron's pov
"Woo!" I shouted with my hands cupped around my mouth. I turned to my friend Cristina with my knuckles on my waist.
"Ugh when is this game gonna end?" I rolled my eyes but kept a smile on my face.
"You ask that every time there's a football game." She just shrugged. Me and her have been doing cheer since junior year. We both don't really like it that much. I joined mostly to just put me in activity and make my college applications look good. I've played a lot of sports all throughout my high school experience. Just so I can get into a good college. The game was almost over and all the cheerleaders faced the field. I saw Brett out there with the ball. I smiled to myself. Brett and I have been dating for about 4 and a half months now. It has been pretty good these past few months, except that's he's always at football practice or I'm always at cheer practice so we rarely get to see each other.
We are winning the game but the opposing team is catching up to us. I heard there were scouts here and Brett really wanted to impress them. I don't know much about football but I know Brett's really good at it so he shouldn't really have to worry about impressing anyone.
Brett was in the touchdown area and someone threw him the ball. He almost got tackled but he stood his ground. Once the ball got close to him he jumped up and caught it with one hand. Everyone went crazy including me. The whole football team was jumping and hugging each other. Mostly Brett. Brett got away from the crowd and locked eyes with me. I laughed and we both started running forwards each other. I jumped up and he caught me.
Right when he caught me he locked his lips with mine.
"Oh my god Brett that was amazing!" He laughed and kissed me again.
"I know." I rolled my eyes and he set me down. I was much smaller then Brett, I mean he's a football player. "Hey lets get out of here before everyone starts leaving." I nodded and we started walking to the parking lot.
He bumped into his football friends and some cheerleaders I knew. We all started talking to each other.
"Aye party at my place later!" A guy named Chris said. All the boys wooped at him and laughed. I turned to Cristina.
"You wanna go?" She shrugged. I could tell she was tired and so was I. Cheerleading takes a lot out of me to be honest. "Yeah me too." We were parked close to the school and we all heard a noise come from the front doors. A boy walked out and closed it then locked it with keys.
"Holy shit is that- uh it's berry isn't it?" Brett shouted. I scrunched my eyebrows together. The boy looked at us all and then looked at the ground.
"H-Harry." He said so quiet I could barely hear him. I've seen him around school. He's a really shy kid with big glasses and has always been the smartest one in our grade.
"Why are you here this late?" Brett said with an amused look on his face.
"Just uh studying." Brett and his friends all laughed loudly.
"Brett stop." I said touching Brett's arm softly. He shrugged me off and looked at Harry again. Harry was looking at me and I gave him an apologetic look.
"What a loser. It's a Friday night shouldn't you be studying at home. I mean come on you can break the rules some times." Brett teased him.
"Uh yeah." He said quietly. He started walking away quickly.
"Gayyyy! F*g! Run home to mommy she'll make it better!" Brett and all of his friends started shouting. I looked at Brett with a disgusted look. Why is he being a prick?
"What the hell is your problem? What did he ever do to you?" Brett rolled his eyes.
"He was born that's what." He laughed along with his friends.
"I'm getting a ride with Cristina." I say while turning away and grabbing Cristina's arm.
"Whatever." He scoffed. Me and Cristina went to her car and got in. I wish I drove my car.
"Dude whats up?" Cristina said as she started driving. I put my hand on my fore head and leaned my head back on the seat.
"It's just Brett is such a dick sometimes. And he acts like that for no reason. Like I don't understand why he's like that. Harry seems like a nice boy and he doesn't deserve to be treated like that." I sighed.
"Come on Cam lighten up. It's senior year, nothing that happened this year is gonna matter once we graduate. If you were popular or not. No ones gonna care." I just shrugged and looked out the window. As we were getting out of the parking lot I saw Harry trying to get his bike out of the bike rack.
"Wait Cristina!" She slammed on the brakes and looked at me with wide eyes.
"Jesus w-what?!" I calmed down a bit.
"Why don't we offer Harry a ride?" I motioned to the bike rack and she shook her head.
"No-"
"Cris come on! Pleaseeee. It's the least we can do." She rolled her eyes and huffed.
"Fine." I smiled and thanked her. She pulled close to the bike rack.
"I'll be right back." I said to Cristina. She rolled her eyes and sat back in her seat. I got out and went to the gate by the bike racks. I cleared my throat and Harry's head jerked up.
"Oh uh sorry I didn't mean to scare you." He looked at me for a second and then looked down.
"No uh it's uh it's alright." I smiled at him.
"So I see you ride a bike. Me and my friend Cristina wanted to know if you wanted a ride maybe?" He looked at the car then back at me.
"Uh um no. I mean no thanks. I uh I'm okay thanks." I looked at him and waited for him to say yes but he didn't.
"Are you sure? We really don't mind. And it's dark out." He shook his head and stared at the ground.
"No I'm uh really alright. I live right down the street." I stared at him. Why doesn't he just take up the offer? I don't understand. Well maybe it's because my boyfriend just made fun of him and he doesn't know me at all.
"Um okay... Harry was it?" I asked to clarify.
"Yeah." He said quietly. I smiled.
"My names Cameron it's nice to meet you," He nodded and I started walking away. "See you around!" I called out.
"Yeah." He said again quieter this time. I got in the car and Cristina let out a breath of relief.
"Thank god." I slapped her arm.
"Cristina! He's a nice boy." She glared at me.
"Yeah a boy I barely know." I rolled my eyes and silently prayed that Brett doesn't catch up to Harry any time soon.
