Through my eyes

Chapter 2

As soon as I got home I smelt this lovely smell of lasagna drifting in the hallway. What a perfect smell to walk in to. Mum was in the kitchen along with grandma cooking lunch while grandpa was in the living room watching golf. Dad wasn't home as he always came home in the evening from work. My baby brother and sister were playing with their toys in the living room. Well my brother was playing annoying my sister as usual. He's a right terror. My sisters cute and not annoying mostly but that's because she's only 1 and a half but my 4 year old brother is a terror and is the most annoying this on the planet. I have an older brother too but he's in college now. I went up to my room and changed into a black top with a black and white checkered flannel and light jeans. By the time I was done changing my brother was banging on my door and screaming the it was time for lunch. This is why I always lock my door cause otherwise he's screaming in my face and hitting me.
At lunch I told mom that my friend was coming over to study so I wanted the living room. Luckily that was possible because grandpa was leaving to go to play golf and wouldn't be back till late, grandma was going over to a cousins house for a while, my siblings had a play date and mom had to go shopping for materials for her clothing company. I had the whole house to myself till 7!!! No interruptions. No annoying siblings!!(the little one can be awfully annoying and clingy at times too).
Around three cam arrived.
Cam: hey Sophia!
Me: hey cam your on time lets studyyy.
Cam: bitch your too serious about studying man lets watch some tv firsttt.
I agreed and we sat on the couch as I turned on the tv and saw that American idol had just started. I sat next to him leaving a little space though we were still touching. His body was so warm and it was the best feeling ever.
Cam: um so I wanted to talk to you about this girl I like, since we're pretty close I just wanted to ask some advice of how to get her.
Me: yeah sure describe her and I'll enlighten you.
I smiled while saying this.
Cam: ok well she's got amazing brown eyes and shes a fighter. I love the fighting spirit in her eyes. She also is just as big of an American idol fan as me.
I looked at him my eyes and his eyes locked having a moment. This girl who he was describing seemed a lot like me. I had got amazing brown eyes well as people called them and I'd often been told that I had a fighting spirit like no other. I never backed down from a fight and didn't give up until I won. I was also an American idol super fan and was planning on going for the finals.
Me: well is this girl tall or short?
Cam looked away from my glance and replied kinda quickly.
Cam: she's a short fierce bitch. Like ya know how there are those short and fierce bitches. Well she's one of them.
My heart sunk. I was tall just like him. He was 5'5 while I was 5'4. It most certainly wasn't me and I couldn't help being kinda sad but I knew I had to be a good friend and give him advice even if it killed me.
Me: ok well then why don't you ask her out and take the bigger step first? I would recommend taking her to see "Fast And Furious 8". It comes out next Friday and my older brother has already watched it cause it's out where he lives and he said it's amazing!
Cam: good idea thanks Soph!
This is the first time he's called me Soph and all my close friends mostly call me Phia so it feels good.
After American idol was over and we started studying it was nearly 6! WOW we spent 3 hours in front of the tv. Mom will be home in an hour.
Me: my mom will be home in an hour cam we better hurry cause then we'll have too many distractions to focus.
Cam: let's go over to my house instead and study? My dads probably out and my moms in Houston. Siblings are chill don't worry.
Me: ok sure I'll just text mum to let her know.
During the walk to his house we talked the entire time and this time not about some tv show or wrestling. We talked about our personal lives.
Cam: moms either out of town or too busy with her work. It just makes me feel like I'm going to lose her and I miss the old her so much.
Me: I hope you don't mind me asking but what changed? What made her this way.
Cam: she had a small shoe company in which she was the co owner along with her best friend. She only worked part time from 9AM right after she dropped me to school to 3PM till she picked me up from karate class. She was always there in the morning and after my karate class which was in school to pick me up. Whenever something was wrong she would be there for me but one day when I was in 6th grade everything changed. Her shoe company expanded. Some famous store had offered to sell their shoes. Ever since then they've had lots of demands and they've been working like crazy. Mom told me she would be a little busy but I never knew that she'd be so busy that she wouldn't be able to keep up with her sons life. Her busy schedule took ahold of her and one week she was in New York meeting with famous investors in the day and in the night she was off partying with her new best friends from Hollywood. It's just hard that she ditched her family, the people that care about her the most for people she's only known 5 minutes you know. I miss her so much.
I saw his face fill with emotion and his mask break for the first time. I put my arm around him in a friendly way to comfort him. I thought he would shrug me off but he put his arm around me too.
Me: listen if you need anyone to talk to or even rant to just remember that I'm right here by your side and I'm never leaving no matter what. You've got me and no matter how much you abuse me I'll never leave you.
Cam: your sounding like we're dating lol.
He was bad to his sarcastic ass goofy self.
Me: noooooo. Boi you know I meant that in a friendly way so stop playinggg.
Cam: okkk but seriously thanks for being there for me. I'm proud to call you my bitch.
He hugged my head in a friendly way as we walked into his house laughing.
