Perfect Strangers

He was more like a beauty king from a movie scene

Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one

Skylar Jones
Chapter 20

A long exhausted sigh left my mouth as I walked through the school corridors.

School, ugh.

There was nothing fun about it except for maybe seeing your friends again. But that was the problem with me.

The new kid, also knows as me, didn't have any friends here.

Except for Cam.

Honestly, I didn't have the right to be mad at him and think so negatively about him. I knew what I was getting into the moment I started crushing on his stupid cute smile with that stupid pretty face and that stupid godlike hair.

Crushing? More like loving..

Cam was straight and nothing or nobody could ever change that. He clearly was happy with his girlfriend. I wouldn't blame him, she was utterly beautiful after all.

So I didn't exactly know why I was angry. I wasn't in love with him, right? I just wanted for him to be my friend and now he kinda is my friend.

Why wasn't that enough for me?

Why did this feel like it wasn't enough for me at all?

I tried to focus on my work, but obviously without any success. All I could think about was that special face of his, how his chocolate brown eyes looked at mine and his messy hair that always seemed to fit so well with him.

It wasn't most likely that he smiled, but when he did.. I swear, he lit up the entire world with that damn smile.

My world..

Cam was finally happy thanks to that girl. Even though I never liked her, he was happy and that was what mattered the most right? Why couldn't I just be happy for him?

The thing that bothered me the most was.. Why her? From everyone on this earth, why her?

She was purely horrible and mean towards everyone who didn't deserve it! She always screamed with that high pitched voice of hers and wore too much make up that you would think that it was heavier than her own freaking brains. Also every boy looked at her body, because apparently she didn't know the meaning of clothes.

Ever since they were official, I haven't seen Cam as much as I used to and I totally get it, because why would he spend more time with me than his own girlfriend?

Maybe it was because I missed him. We hung out much more due to the assignment and now we saw each other less than before. That must have been why I felt so weird and why I thought so much about him lately. That was probably why I wasn't happy for him.

I was used to his presence. That's all.

Of course it was just because of his absence. Yeah, his girlfriend practically stole him from his own life. I heard around the school some stuff about that this was bound to happen and that they would get together eventually.

But how so soon?

Did they even know each other at all? He knew her from the party and that wasn't even three weeks ago. They haven't been on dates or been hanging out to get to know each other like Cam and I did. Another sigh left my lips, I felt like some jealous boyfriend.
