Perfect Strangers

And I ran,

I ran so far away.

Chapter 14

English class just finished and I slowly walked towards my next class. On purpose I tried to be very slow and careful since I had social study class right now. The whole time I've been trying not to stand out and avoid all of this, but that was somehow impossible.

If I'd go home now my mom will notice of how I'm not really ill.

When I sadly walked inside of the class room I found Cam sitting there already. My heart skipped a beat and I tried my hardest not to look into those beautiful dark eyes.

My eyes scanned the room in panic and luckily there was another empty seat in the back.

I know it was unfair to Cam that I was avoiding him now, especially after last night. Everything was honestly perfect and I never had the time of my life just like yesterday. It was actually way too fun for someone who barely had any friends.

The whole night I've been thinking about how much we talked and laughed without making each other go crazy whilst hugging the fish bear that he won for me. I haven't even closed an eye last night.

To be honest I can't even stay mad at him. He had been acting like a real jerk and what he did with Tyler and Jesse was also not okay even though he did help me to get away from those two the last time.

It was still not okay what he did and it'll never be okay, but that side of him that I saw yesterday is something I would want to see more often.

Since my try at being angry failed and I even had more fun with him now, I tried to avoid him like the plague.

I still made that stupid deal with Shane about breaking him and maybe if I just avoided Cam like I did right now, he wouldn't get attached to me and I wouldn't get attached to him.

It wasn't hard to pull that off. Cam showed how much he disliked me. The only thing that connected us with each other was that assignment. So avoiding seemed like the best thing right now until I had a plan.

How was I supposed to break Cam if he didn't even like me the way I like him?

Suddenly everyone already stood up which made me look up at them in confusion. I was day dreaming so much about Cam and the deal that the whole entire hour just flew by.

I sighed while grabbing my stuff and left the class room. I saw Cam not too far away from me, probably waiting for me.

As fast as I could I tried to walk to the other way which wasn't such a good idea, because Tyler and Jesse were standing there.

I tried to walk past them without getting caught, which to my surprise successfully worked.

Due to walking so fast I didn't see that I was bumping into someone. It felt like I was having a déjà vu.

"Sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going" I instantly apologized and looked at the person standing right in front of me. I sighed in relief when I saw that it was just a girl.

"Doesn't matter" The blonde girl smiled beautifully.

"Good" I smiled back.
