Perfect Strangers

I like me better

When I'm with you

Chapter 15

"Okay class, I received a lot of evidence and even some stories on what you had to do with your partners" Dick said in his usual monotonous voice.

But I couldn't listen or pay any attention to class. My mind was elsewhere, or should I say with someone else..

Because my head was clouded with nothing but this boy called Skylar Jones.

The fair had been one of the best days I ever had in a while. I've never laughed and enjoyed my time in life with someone as much as I did with Skylar.

I actually feel like this whole assignment thing may work out for us. Maybe we could actually be friends one day.

Yet for someone reason he's been avoiding me the previous days. He wouldn't exactly tell me that he has been doing that, but I know that he was. It was too obvious that he was trying to get away from me for some reason..

In class he tried to sit as far away from me as he could, he barely talks to me or responds to any of my texts. Normally he was always in a happy and bubbly mood so he could try to annoy me with it, but now he didn't even dare to make any eye contact with me.

I was starting to wonder why? Sure, both of us weren't pleased with each other.
Who am I kidding? We totally dislike each other, but it wasn't that bad.

Mostly I was pretty good in reading people especially since I already know everyone in this school. But Skylar was different.

He wasn't the same like the rest. This boy was always genuinely happy, stood up for himself when he had to and he was the only one who dared to speak up against me. He insulted me right back and everyone on this school knew that I didn't accept that.

But maybe from Skylar I would accept it.

Besides all of that, he had gorgeous platinum blonde hair that probably made a lot of people jealous since it was so natural. The shining blue eyes showed you a glimpse of the sweet oceans and as last you could see that he was fit.

Maybe not as fit as me, but still fit.

Him ignoring me bothered me a lot more than it actually should have. But why? I disliked him just like how he disliked me back. So shouldn't I be happy that he backed off?

That was what I wanted right? For him to leave me alone and mind his own business.

"Cam, would you like to tell me how the first task went with Skylar?" I heard Dick say which made me look up at him as I tried to focus on the class again.

"Oh.. Uh.. Well, we went to the fair and got in a couple attractions. I guess it wasn't that bad" I shrugged casually.

But it was way more than that: it was amazing. Even though I could never admit that to them or to myself.

Especially not to Skylar.

"That sounds good, it's a first step in the right direction for pretty much all of you. Now on to your second task" He announced enthusiastic.
