Cameron's POV
It had been three weeks since Brie was admitted to the hospital. They didn't let her go until a week but that did not really matter. What mattered the most to me was that she was healthy and her baby was alive. I can't believe that I am saying this, my best friend, Brianna was pregnant. After being discharged, Brie was confined to bed rest for one more week.
Much to her dismay but to the doctor's relief, a little baby bump started to grow from her body. But it certainly didn't look like she was pregnant, as truth be told Brianna was very skinny. She had the body which could make supermodels green with envy, so to say a little baby bump on someone else would look like normal body fat on her was not an overstatement.
She hadn't being going to school since three whole weeks and nor had I, Nate and Kyle too surprisingly. Despite of Nate and I and even Brianna literally pleading him not to miss school, he remained adamant and stayed back. Luckily we hadn't missed out on any important stuff to study as nothing really happens during the first month of school. Kyle had grown alot closer to Brianna, but in a friendly way, atleast I hope. I mean, it's not that if they did start having feelings for each other it would bother me in any way but somehow the thought of them together as a couple was very weird. And now was the time for Brianna to sort things out with Rob, not to start another relationship.
Kyle and Nate had 'mutually decided' that it would be the best for him, who was just her good friend to stay with and take care of her at her house than me, her bestfriend. These teenage boys continue to surprise me. Yet, he was staying alone with Brianna in her house, so truth be told I didn't really have any idea what was going on between them.
Yesterday however much to my surprise and good luck, I was asked and allowed to stay over at Brie's as she had been finally medically cleared to attend school. Not exactly asked, but whatever. Kyle had to leave for some kind of emergency and Nate had some work left, thus as the only option left, I stayed the night. I had some major catching up to do with Brie, MAJOR. So as it was her last night of being house arrested, we both decided that it was high time for a girls night in.
We had already, and by we I mean mostly Brianna had finished two bowls of popcorn, but to be fair we were watching a horror movie, and Bri would do anything to distract her from it. I wasn't a horror movie kinda girl too, but the only options we had was The Conjuring and a documentary about how birds can survive in almost any condition. So it was pretty obvious what was it going to be. Luckily the movie was over before we knew it and none of us had to use the washroom during and even after the movie.
Everything was going perfectly well, until of course Brie came up with another one of her stupid, self-created games, No More Secrets.
"C'mon Cameron...don't chicken out...it's not like I am asking you to do a porn film or something, that you are thinking so much. And besides, didn't you just say that we needed to catch up with each other...so isn't this game like perfect?" Brie said, still trying to coax and cajol me into playing this game. She then made a heartwarming puppy dog face, which she knew was my weakness.
"Ok..First of all, Ew. Like seriously porn film? Use some better examples next time, please. Secondly, I will only agree to play if you pinky promise me that whatever happens and or is said during this game will be highly confidential." I said resting my case. Brie turned her pout into her classic smirk. After taking in all that I said, she put her hand on mine in an assuring manner.
"Woah...I thought I was speaking to your lawyer, until you used pinky promise and spoilt it. But jokes apart...Don't worry I won't tell anyone."
"Okay...so how to play this No More Secrets?" Her face lightened up on my question, clearly she was excited.
"It's very simple...you have to say any three secrets about yourself, but only one of them has to be true and I have to guess which one is. If I guess right then you have to drink one glass. Whoever goes to pee first loses."
"Wait hold on a second.....Isn't this a drinking game? And aren't you pregnant? I am sorry to inform, actually remind you Brie that you can't drink while you are knocked up."
"Hey keep your dirty mind with yourself...We are not gonna drink beer or something....We are gonna drink Coke. And yeah I forgot to tell you that if you guess wrong then you gotta drink. Fine?" I openend my mouth to answer but Brie had already gone over to the kitchen, removing about ten cups and filling them all with coke. As she filled the last one she yelled, "Are you gonna only stare at me or actually get your ass outa here?" Since she had started living with Kyle, Brie had a new positive aura around her. Something is definitely wrong.
"So you start..."
"Umm..I don't think I have any other option so..here it goes:
1.I am not a virgin.
2.The boy who I have a crush on is nobody else but Kyle.
3.I have secret lesbian feelings towards you."
"Hmmm...kinda good one for a starter like you but still it's a pretty easy and obvious one." Oh no..don't let it be. Are my feelings for Kyle so visible? I hope not, because if Brie noticed then Kyle probably would have noticed too or what if Nate noticed? Then I would definitely be screwed.
"The third one...You have lesbian feelings for me. C'mon drink one glass."
"How are you so sure? It could be something else."
"Oh. Is it something else?" What was I supposed to do? Should I tell her the truth or should I just lie?
"No...." I replied slowly and drank the coke from my glass. Don't judge me, cause if you were at my place, you would do the same...Wouldn't You?
"My chance...You know since you are a beginner, I will make it easy on ya...I'll give you only two options:
1.I am not over Rob at all.
2.I am over him as I have feelings for Kyle." Easy? This wasn't easy..I don't what is right. I think I will just go with my gut.
"You are not over Rob.....Is it right?" Brie thought for a long time. I am sure she herself, didn't know what was right.
"No you are wrong...I umm..I have feelings for Kyle."
