Perfect Strangers

Cameron Asher

I'm sorry if I seem uninterested

Or I'm not listening, or I'm indifferent

Chapter 1
Cameron Asher

I've never really been the type of boy who always went to parties. Everyone only thinks that I am like that. They think that I only go after things like drugs, alcohol, girls and that basketball. Like those are the most important things for me. They think that I don't care about other things.

Well, that isn't the case at all.

Appearances are deceptive and that's one thing that I really liked about people. Everyone is so naive and typical. If there would be people here for once who actually knew better, but sadly they don't know no better. That's the whole point, people only see what they want to see for themselves.

I'm not the type who only goes to parties, that gets addicted to alcohol and drugs or only want to hit on girls to experience some fun. I've never been one of those and I'll never be. I always knew that something was different about me. I just could never pinpoint whatever it was.

I still find it amazing to "mislead" other people and make them think that I actually am one of them. They can't fuck with you, if you show them who you really are I'll tell you that you're going to be sorry for that. Maybe people look at me like I'm a bad person, but I'd rather be a bad person than showing who I really am.

Sure, I did use alcohol, drugs and play with girls time from time. I just didn't make it my hobby like all the other boys at our school did. I've always been like that, different from others.

Everyone is different.

This felt a bit weirder, I never liked to have the same interests as my own friends. In fact, I hated their personality with every single strength that I had. I've always been the 'outsider' of the whole group, if the want me to or not.

I don't care about who's more popular or who got the best looks, even though I had to be the perfect person for that, but even the most popular persons are outsiders.

The only thing that ever interested me was her.

Nina Sanders

Literally the girl of your dreams. I mean, come on, she had everything a boy could ever wish for in a girl.

Her long brown hair looked too pure and then you had her soft blue eyes that always seemed to sparkle. She had the perfect body and her exclusive body parts didn't look that bad either.

What I'm trying to say is that she's just hot.

And then to think that she never ever realized how perfect she actually were. Even though that was partly my own fault.

I couldn't take the fact that I saw someone that way and so I started to bully her, to act like she wasn't worth it at all and the most important thing of all, to act like I really hated her. I couldn't help it, I never felt something like that before with other girls and then suddenly she shows up.

Maybe, just maybe, I've been blackmailing other people to stay away from her or to pester her. Of course she never understood this and totally didn't deserve this at all. I just couldn't stand the fact that I felt all of those things I've never been through..

I know it's wrong of me and I've learned from this. She got off-limits for me when she got closer to Nick. I knew from that moment that I couldn't stand a chance with her.

Suddenly, I meet the ground out of nowhere. I frowned and look up to see a silly boy standing in front of me. He doesn't look familiar to me,  which was weird since I mostly recognized all the faces here, perks of being popular.

"Dude, just look where you're going man" I snorted when I pushed myself from the ground.

Luckily there isn't anyone in the school halls yet. It's actually too early, but everything is better than staying in that hell of a house.

Now his unique blue eyes got my attention. They're brighter than ever and almost inhuman. It certainly looked like an ocean you could easily drown in if you won't pay attention for a minute.

His clothing style isn't that bad either. Just a bit casual thanks to his simple and long grey shirt that fits him in all the right places and a dark blue jeans with black Allstars shoes.

He can actually get popular here.

His platinum blonde hair that almost looks white, is in a straight quif, but a couple of strands fall slightly over his forehead. He's almost as tall as I am and I could see that he was quite nervous.

What's that about?

"S-sorry, I'm new here a-" He stops in the middle of his sentence and just keeps staring at me.

"Being new here isn't a excuse to run into me, you idiot" I snorted and walked away from him, not without pushing my shoulder into his on purpose.

When our skin came in contact, there was this unexpected shock that went through my body and it almost felt good. Confused I started to frown and leave him immediately.

I walk further while shaking my head, it's all in my head. The last days have been so stressful that it wasn't normal anymore.

Okay maybe I was a bit mean and unfair towards the poor guy, but he deserved it. Everything frustrates me and especially now with that whole situation with Nina. Annoyed, I let out a sigh.

Seriously who does he think he is? That he's new doesn't mean he can do everything and anything he want. If he's smart, he stays as far away from me as he could.

I hope I made that clear to him.
