"Alaina! Someone is at the door for you!" My father called from the bottom of the staircase, the sound of his tapping foot creating me to scowl. Be patient dad, for all the times I was patient with you. I sighed heavily, then rushed down the stairs with my satchel making a beeline for the door and snatching my sandals up.

"You look..." Cameron opened his mouth to speak, trying to find out the perfect word to use. "You look beautiful."

I felt my cheeks shade rosy pink as he complimented me, I wasn't use to compliments. My dad just told me that I looked okay when I asked and okay was so not what I was looking for, but I guess it counted.

I checked my phone to see If Natalie left any more unwanted messages, and when the phone read no messages I let out a sight in respice. She had been trying to get through to me for days, but she wasn't going to crack me. I was angry at her, she betrayed me. I wasn't going to just up and forgive her, No flipping way!

"Are you ready to go?" Cameron softly spoke from the door, his ash brown hair sweeping over his forehead. He was wearing a letterman jacket and straight leg jeans with some sneakers. Pretty casual.

I stared down at my linen dress and sandals and shrugged, figuring that he wouldn't care what I was wearing. From what he was wearing, I could tell this was pretty casual and I just wanted to abide by the rules.

"Uhm...Yes." I grinned quickly then waved goodbye to my day before heading out of the door. The May air practically choking me, I pursed my lips against one another catching a taste of my strawberry flavored lipgloss. Maybe I should have went with a different coat.....what If Cameron kissed me and didn't like strawberry? Maybe I should ask him....No. That would be preposterous. He wasn't going to kiss me on the first date.

"It's a pretty hot day, isn't it?" Cameron's voice reverberated across the clear blue skies loudly as he turned to stare directly at me with his wide emerald green eyes.

"Definitely."

I swept my bangs from my forehead and strided over towards the passanger side of his Jeep, where he was standing with the door open patiently. Finally, someone patient for once. I slipped into the car, hoping that I wouldn't flash him in the process.

Once he shut the door, I giggled in relief. Thank god, I would be so embarrassed If he ever saw anything he wasn't suppose to. "Yes!" I exclaimed, falling into fits of laughter.

I automatically paused my giggles once he ajared open the car door and climbed in himself, turning the key in the ignition. "We're going to have a blast!" He confessed as he turned up the stereo; A hiphop song I never heard before blaring through the speakers. Ahh, He was a rap/hiphop fan. Whatever opposites attract right?

"Where are we going anyways?"

"You'll see soon enough." Cameron turned his gaze to his reflection in the rearview mirror, and smirked as If he knew how completely flawless he was. I had to give him some credit, not many people knew how attractive they really were but obviously he did from the expressions he was upholding. I wish I was that confident, then maybe guys would like me more, but that didn't really matter I had one of the most popular guys in the school who was taking me on a date!

I reclined back in the chair and gaped out of the window turning my thoughts to Harry, I wondered what he was doing in this moment. He hadn't bothered me since the hospital, which merely shocked me. He always tried to talk to me, so what was going on now? I assumed that it was the unplanned embrace, but who knew what went on in Guys head; They were so unpredictable and I hated that.

But I guess the thrill wasn't too bad . . .

Forget it, Alaina. Your on a date with Cameron, the ash brown chiseled body green eyed quarterback that nobody seemed to land, your a very lucky girl. I scoffed as I continued into my thoughts, finding that non of them were very illogical but whatever, It was just thinking not like anyone can actually read minds.

"Are you okay?" Cameron requested after 20 minutes of silence.

"Yeah, just thinking." I said matter-of-factly.

"What of?"

His curiousity made me feel slightly better, but then again It erked me. I hated when people tried to get inside my head. "Life." I shrugged clearly before I shifted my gaze back towards him. He didn't seem like the kind of guy who would want to know everything about the girl that he took out on one casual date but I guess life just suprises you like that.

"You know, It's near impossible to try to analyze what your thinking?" Cameron brought up, creating me to roll my eyes playfully.

"Maybe, I don't want anybody to know what I'm thinking." I commented with a light hoot.

"You make a good point. But don't you get sick of holding it all in? I suppose you have thoughts inside your head or is it just filled with darkness and void?" Cameron joked, creating the hole in my heart to sting again. Ouch, did he really think I was that bad?

I shook my head in high spirits, then started to bob my head as The Lazy Song blasted through the speakers. Today I don't feel like doing anything, I just want to lay in my bed. A smirk flickered across my lips as I hummed the catchy tune inwardly.

I felt myself become on the edge of my seat as we pulled into a free parking space. My head couldn't stop spinning and my heart wouldn't stop throbbing due to my excitement.

but something was tugging me away from even reaching for his hand, an aching everlasting pounding at the bottom of my stomach that just wouldn't go away. With every breath I took, I felt like someone was watching over me and judging behind the rustling trees or shrubs.

"We're here!" Cameron announced proudly as he stepped out of his vehicle and lured over to the opposite side repeating the same gesture as before.

I muttered a swift thank you and began to walk at his pace.

I didn't understand quite clearly why I agreed to attending this event, I was tortured enough by Harry's presense, he seemed to be everywhere! It was like everywhere I spum, his quirky face just so happened to pop up and honestly, I was growing tired.

I still hadn't sorted my feelings out yet but that didn't matter in love iwth him or not, and I would go with or not as much as I wanted to fight it. The other day was just simply comforting, like frenemies would do. It couldn't go beyond that. It never would go beyond that.

I flickered my eyes towards the girls entered the concert stadium wearing similar dresses to the one that I wroe at Natalies party. Why were they dresses like this? I couldn't sum it up.

"Oh I forgot , you were suppose to come dressed up the same way you were at Natalie's homecoming party." Cameron gave a smug smile as he reached for my hand.

I stared at his hand blankly as If I didn't know what to do and I pulled my hand out of reach, timidly. "They did not dress like that at her party!"

Cameron slanted his eyebrow as if he had just been kicked in his teeth, "You were at Natalie's party?"

"Uhh...." I bit my lip apprehensively. "Yes, actually I was..." I added, my voice becoming more confident.

"I didn't see you there, were you one of the girls standing against the wall?"

I fidgeted with my hands for a moment, then snapped my head back up focusing my line of vision on him so that I didn't seem as nervous as I was. "Umm..Yes...I-I was." I stammered, not exactly positive of what he was trying to put out there. Was I seriously that boring?

"Oh! Well the whole point in this concert is for Harry to figure out who his mystery girl is!" Cameron exclaimed before quickly grabbing my hand and leading me into the concert stadium.

Mystery girl? Is that what he was calling me now? I swiped my tongue over my lips and blew my hair out of my face in irritation. I didn't understand why he didn't just give up, I wasn't confessing any time soon.

But I could make someone else pretend like she is the mystery girl... I could teach her how to act exactly the way I did with Harry whilst we were dancing! Oh my gosh, I was brilliant, I didn't know why I didn't think of it before and judging by the people here, It wouldn't be that hard to fool Harry into thinking a girl was me...but the problem was, who would I choose?
