CANDY FLOSS

The next day I got to school on foot - I had to wake up extra early for the walk - it was once again Cam's fault. After everything that happened on the game night, was he the one showing me the attitude? It was his fault, I expected apology for him, I even waited and kept checking my phone for any messages or calls but there was no contact from him.

Was Cam suddenly acting like a selfish ass for a reason? Was he looking for an easy way to dump me or was he like this from the start and I failed to see it on my quest to popularity?

Popularity...It had been such a good idea when I was a freshmen; it was a high school fantasy for me. But after all this time all I could think is what did I actually gain? Fake friends? Gossips? Annoyance? And it made me wonder that the relation ship between me and Cam was just pretence from the very start? Because I couldn't feel anything but utter disappointment from it and the thought was eating my insides.

When I reached school Cam began acting like nothing had happened.

''You're a bit late today babe, you're always early.'' He casually draped his arm around my shoulder and I had an urge to tell him I had no mood for PDA. I freed myself from him and narrowed my eyes.

''Don't you think we need to talk about what happened?'' I demanded tersely. Cam looked back at me stupidly - yeah there was no other way to describe it - his brows furrowed in confusion. Oh Great! He didn't even remember it. It wasn't because he had brain disease; it was because my anger and frustration or rather any other feeling had no importance to him.

''Oh about that, we already talked didn't we? You just over reacted-

''Excuse me? I over reacted? Are you kidding me Cam? You don't even have any consideration for my feelings? Am I nothing to you?'' I asked him jabbing my finger to his chest,

''Guys is something wrong?'' We both turned to see Ashley standing behind us wearing her best smile. Usually I would call her polite and return it with my own grin. Today as I saw her I could feel something burning inside my chest; jealousy or anger, I couldn't quite figure.

''Nothing babe'' He said returning her expression,' we were just discussing some algebra.'' Algebra? I screamed mentally, he didn't even know a thing about algebra. And last time I checked he forbade me to talk about studies with him.

Ashley showed her white teeth all over again and I felt like she was advertising for some local toothpaste. She turned to me, '' Peyton when are today's rehearsals?''

''We've been doing rehearsals for two weeks straight now and the next practice session wont be starting until four more days.'' She made a face like she wanted to cheer right now at the spot. It made her look like a snobbish child.

''But why?'' She whined,

''Why are you being so impatient anyways? We have finals this year, don't you have to concentrate on studies and-''

''Oh Please, you know I'm not a nerd.'' She replied like being nerd was an abuse to one's character.

''Babe don't start a fight now.'' I glared at Cam, he ignored me and turned his attention to Ashley, ''do you have pics from the get together? I wondered why ours weren't up on facebook, they were quite cool ones.''

''I've got a USB with me, if you want them lets go to the lab after sixth lesson....'' They launched into a conversation I couldn't possibly hope to understand. In fact they chatted like I didn't even exist, Cam ignored me and it started hurting me. I decided my feeling towards Ashley was definitely jealousy.
