Cami P.O.V.
All eyes were on me as I was frozen in place. I had never really won anything before and I could feel Louis smirking at me before I could look at him. I know he probably rigged it. I didnt even know I was up for nomination.
"Camilla? Can you please make your way up?" Principal Jeffers asked me and I nodded, putting my hands at my side. I started to walk down the pathway people made me as the applause grew louder once again. It felt like sweat was beading down my face when I walked but when I touched my forehead, it was a dry.
I stepped up on the stage cautiously, afraid someone had pulled some kind of prank, but to my avail, no. The crown was placed on my head and I smiled at the eyes watching me. There was at least 500 students here, that's a thousand eyes. Wow.
Everything turned silent awkwardly as I looked at Harry. He had his head hung low and was practically glaring at Louis. I don't blame him, I'd rather be up here with Harry.
"Everyone give them one more round of applause. Your 2013 Pumpkin king and queen everyone!" Jeffers exclaimed and I felt Louis take my hand again. I turned my head and felt Louis put his lips on mine for a moment before I pushed him away. I looked at him in disgust and tried to let go of his hand, but he wpuldnt budge. I heard a few coughs of 'slut' and 'bitch' as clapping was heard. A lot of girls are jealous. I didn't deserve this, I didn't vote, but appearently I do. "Okay, you may get back to your dancing!"
The music started back up again and I immediately let go of Louis's hand and practically ran off the stage, yanking the crown off my head. I hate this school. I fucking hate it. I felt tears prick my eyes as I ran out into the hallway, hearing footsteps behind me. I can't imagine how Harry feels right now.
"Cami wait!" I heard Louis say behind me and I could already tell my eyes are gonna be bloodshot if I turn around and look at him. I felt him grab my right arm while my left held the crown freely. I was whipped around and his eyes held confusion.
"Whats wrong?" He asked a bit of a smile tugging at his lips.
"What's wrong?!? I have a boyfriend you fucking douche! He was looking straight at us on stage! And you know that!" I spat at him and I felt a tear slide down my cheek.
"Well.. babe," He started but I cut him off.
"Don't fucking call me babe. Stop calling me babe. I'm not your babe Louis. We are supposed to be friends. And you are ruining it!" I practically yelled at him. I was utterly tired and I can't put up with any of it anymore.
"But I don't want-"
"Just shut the hell up! God, stop talking for once! Everything can't go your way Louis. Did you rig the votes Louis?" I asked him seriously, sniffling. I wasn't near sobbing at all. I was crying out of anger and by my reflection off the hallway window, my cheeks were red with fury.
"I- uh.. I-" By his stuttering I knew he had indeed rigged the votes. I knew it. He couldn't let one lucky girl have her night , he had to ruin my night.
"You are despicable Louis. God, why am I so important? Go find another girl to toy with. Is it that hard? Please just leave me alone. When I walk in there, I'm going to be a laughing stock. Harry will break up with me and you'll have your way. God, I fucking hate you. I hate you!" I yelled in his face and he just tried to pull me closer to him. I fucking hate him. I hate him. "I wish I never met you!" I spat.
He just pulled me closer towards his body as I struggled out of his grip.
"Let go of me Louis!" I spat and he shook his head.
"Your the best thing that happened to me Cam, I'm not letting you away this time." He told me and I just laughed through my tears.
"Yeah right. Fuck you. Let me go, Louis." I pulled as hard as I could but it was no use. "Let. Me. Go!"
I practically screeched and I saw Harry out of the corner of my eye dart of the gymnasium. I threw the crown at Louis's face and I think it hit his nose. Hard. I guess I was right as his grip loosened, earning a groan from him, and I darted down the hallway, hearing someone run after me. I saw the school exit before my blurry vision through my tears, and practically bashed through it. I know Harry is following me and I don't need this right now.
I quickly took off my heels and ran into the dark cafeteria, ducking behind a table and trying to run as I still heard the person and stubbed my toe on a chair. Shit.
I tripped and bit down on my lip in pain, drawing blood. My toe felt sore as fuck and I hugged my knees, slowing my breathing hoping the person wouldn't hear me. My prayers weren't answered when I was yanked back and I screamed, getting dragge across the floor and out by the entrance of the cafeteria, into the light. I didn't dare look up as I knew who the person was.
"Please. I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry." I told them not looking up. I felt his hand cup my chin and he kneeled down to my eye level.
"It's not your fault. It's his. He kissed you. He forced himself on you. Trust me, I want to beat the shit out of him right now, but I'm too worried about a crying girl that I really really care about." Harry smiled at me and I chuckled at my stupidity. Harry wasn't the one to blame you for things like this. He has always been understanding.. and that's why I love him. Love.. what?
"Harry.. I think I love you." I spoke confidently. His smile grew wider and I felt his lips peck mine.
"I love you too Cam. Now let's just ignore him and try to have fun tonight. This is our senior year." He smiled and held out a hand for me to take. I blushed and shyly took it , as he pulled me in for another kiss.
