Cold Love // Hayes Grier

vii

Cara.

"Are you serious?" Emily asked as we both dropped into a comfortable stradow.

"Yeah, and you should need to audition for Nessarose!" I suggested, and started to count to ten in my head.

"I don't know, I really can't sing," she argued, and we stretched our legs up front.

We both bent over, and I said, "you are such a liar!"

"I am not!"

"Emiliya it was you who won the talent show in fifth grade, not me," I stated, and parted my legs.

"Whatever," she joked and we stood up.

The teacher came in, and began working on our duet. We had a competition in two weeks, and we needed to start working on it.

I'm glad this dance was contemporary, because it was our main style. The dance began with a sequence of fifteen turns, and then a swift drop split.

Emily and I did it in sync, and then had to repeat it multiple times. After that we decided to call it a day, and we both strolled out.

Our houses were just a couple blocks away from the studio, so we just usually walked there.

"Do you want some bubble tea? My treat!" Emily offered as we passed by BUBBLE.

"Sure," I accepted, and we both entered the small shop.

It was very cold inside. Like dead cold; the fact that we were only using tight leggings and long knit sweaters was even better.

"Uh, two strawberry bubble teas, please," Emily ordered, while I waited on the other side for them.

Emily waltzed to me, and then waited with me. Our teas came, and we just started to drink it on the way out.

My house was quiet. Which is unusual since Cam it's always jumping around pretending to be a butterfly. Where is Cameron anyways?

I searched the entire first floor for him, but he wasn't there. That was until I passed by the basements, and heard the t.v playing. I creeped down the staircase, and peeked inside the dark room.

Cameron was sprawled on the couch, watching re-runs of Friends. He seriously needs to stop his obsession with Jennifer Aniston...

"Sup' Cam," I waved my hand at him, but he just ignored me. I flared my arms like a maniac, yet he still kept ignoring me.

I stood in front of the t.v, not allowing Cameron to watch. He just stood up and moved to the other side of the couch. I grabbed the remote and turned the t.v off.

"Cara!" He complained, and tried to take the remote from me.

"I'll give it to you when you explain why you are being such an ass," I said, and sat down next to him.

"There is nothing bothering me," he began, "now give me the remote."

"Cam, just tell me," I pleaded.

He sighed, and them inhaled too much air. "I quit MagCon."

"What?" I asked confused, "why would you do that?"

"I don't know," he shouted, pulling the ends of his hair, "I wasn't thinking!"

"Well, it was actually about time that happened," I replied, and threw the remote at him.

"Now I'm the one confused."

"You guys we treated like shit there, you deserve something better," I confessed, and started to walk back up.

I pushed my boring white door open, and flopped into bed. If I stayed here, my mom will probably come and yell at me, but if I get up and get ready for bed, she might not.

I rushed to the bathroom, and brushed my teeth and face. I changed into my pjs, and pulled on some fuzzy socks. My Spongebob pjs, and Patrick socks.

I lifted my duvet, and got into a comfortable position on the bed. My eyelids got heavier and heavier, until they completely dropped.

****

I tied my combat boots, and went downstairs. As now usual, I waited for Cameron to appear, so he could take me to school.

I've came to realize that Emily just gets to school early to be all lovely with Trevor without me gagging.

I posted the Camping Series, and the comments weren't so bad. Though, many of my fans, and Hayes's, are still saying we are dating.

Footsteps were heard and then a loud bang. I rushed to the stairs to find Cameron rubbing his leg. I laughed, but didn't talk.

Since last night, we haven't really talked that much. The truth is we don't have anything to talk about.

I slung my backpack over my shoulder, and strutted to the car. Literally strutted; I don't know what's wrong with me today. I waited for Cameron to get in, and when he did we made our way to school.

I got off, and walked to school. Hayes stood by my locker; with his usual snapback, and his logo t-shirt. That's how he stood when he asked me out.

What the fuck is he planning on doing?

"Hi, Car," he greeted, and gave me a hug.

The fuck.

"Hi Hayes," I said, and awkwardly got out of his hug.

"What's up?"

"Nothing really, just talking to my ex," I replied, and opened my locker. I took out my Algebra book, as soon as the bell rung.

"Let's go," he said with sadness in his voice.

We sat next to each other, neither of us saying a word. Its funny how it suddenly got so awkward. I wish I could change everything, and rewind.
