Best Friend or Boyfriend? // Why Don't We

Chapter 12

Camry's pov

I was sitting on the couch when there was a knock on the door. I got up and opened it. Daniel stood there, smiling.

"Hey," I smiled back.

"Hey," he looked at the ground and then back up at me.

"Come in," I said awkwardly.

He stepped inside, and I shut the door behind him. I lead him over to the couch, and we both sat down. I grabbed the remote and sat back.

"What do you want to watch?" I asked him.

"Hmm... What about Moana?" he said. "I love that movie."

"Sure," I laughed.

I started the movie, but then got up.

"Where are you going?" he furrowed his eyebrows.

"I'm going to make some popcorn," I told him before walking into the kitchen.

I popped two bags of popcorn, and I also grabbed two sodas. I went back to the couch and handed Daniel one bag of popcorn and a soda. I kept the others for myself. I finished my popcorn before the movie even ended, but somehow I still had half of my soda left. I couldn't even focus on the movie half of the time. Daniel wasn't like Jack....

"That's probably my favorite movie, hands down," Daniel said.

"Yeah, it's pretty good," I nodded.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, just tired," I reassured him.

"Well, I need to head back to the house anyway. I'll see you later," he said and stood up.

I stood up as well and walked him to the door. He opened the door and gave me a quick hug.

"Thanks for letting me come over. I had fun," he smiled.

"No problem," I laughed.

"Goodnight, Camry," he said.

"Goodnight, Daniel," I said back, and he turned to walk outside.

Once he left, I shut the door. I cleaned up the trash we had left in the living room. Once I had done all of that, I changed into athletic shorts and a faded, navy blue t-shirt. I yawned as I crawled into my bed. I turned on my tv and watched that until I fell asleep.

~morning~

My phone was going off like crazy. I rolled after and grabbed it. I rubbed my eyes and then checked to see what was going on. I had 2 missed calls from Val, and she texted me 12 times. My phone started going off again with more messages, but these were from Jack. I had 8 missed calls from Jack, and there were 37 messages. He started calling me again.

"Hello," I mumbled, sleepily.

"I was literally about to drive to your house," Jack said.

"What? Why?" I asked, very confused.

"Are you serious? Camry, it's two in the afternoon," he said in disbelief. "I thought something had happened to you."

"No, I've been asleep," I told him.

"I'm just glad that you're okay," he let out a sigh of relief.

"Can we go shopping?" I randomly asked.

"Meet me at the mall in twenty," he said.

"See you there," I laughed before hanging up.

I quickly jumped out of bed and got dressed. I threw on white, high waisted shorts along with a maroon crop top. I slipped on my maroon Vans as well. I went to the bathroom and did my usual makeup: foundation, concealer, mascara, and I did my eyebrows. I added some lipstick also. I brushed my hair and straightened it. Once I was pleased with that, I grabbed my brand new black and gold wristlet wallet and my phone.

"Crap," I said to myself.

I had forgotten to eat breakfast. Well, this meant a trip by McDonalds on the way to meet Jack. I got in my car and went to McDonalds. Luckily, barely anyone was in the drive through, so I got my food quickly. I ate on the way to the mall. I pulled into the parking lot as soon as I finished my sweet tea.

Jack: Where are you?

Me: Sorry! I had to swing by McDonalds for breakfast. I didn't eat any.

Jack: If anything, it would be a late lunch. Not breakfast.

Me: Whatever. I had to stop and get some food.

Jack: Okay, well, I'm waiting by the fountain in the middle of the mall.

Me: Be there in a few.

I hopped out of my car and got the trash. Before I went in the mall, I threw the trash away. I went straight to the fountain, and I knew exactly where he was. I saw him, and he turned and saw me.

"Camry!" he beamed before engulfing me in a hug.

"Jack!" I smiled and hugged him back.

"Where do you want to start?" he asked and pulled out of the hug, intertwining our fingers.

It took me by surprise, but I honestly didn't mind. Jack was my other half. Yes, Val was my other best friend, but I've known Jack way longer. Hopefully, Val and I will be able to hang out soon. She's been really busy editing and stuff for her channel lately. It's kind of upsetting because we are so close but don't get to hang out that much. For now, I have Jack.

"Umm, American Eagle," I suggested.

He nodded, and we walked there. He walked around with me. I bought a few shirts and a pair of ripped jeans. Then we went to Hot Topic because I wanted to find more merchandise. Sadly, I didn't find anything this time, but Jack bought himself a pair of clout glasses.

"Really?" I laughed.

"Don't be salty just because I got some and you didn't," he said sassily.

"Whatever you say, noodles," I shrugged.

After that, we went to Hibbett Sports. I found a pair of Nike leggings and Under Armor leggings. I also bought an Adidas hoodie. After that, we sat down at a table.

"My legs hurt," I said, plopping down in a chair.

"You're so lazy," he shook his head.

"This is coming from the guy who laid in bed all day to watch movies, and then was still tired," I raised my eyebrows.

"Okay, okay, you're right," he raised his hands in defense.

We both laughed, but then we both were silent.

"So.." he said. "What'd you and Daniel do last night?"

"We just watched Moana," I shrugged and picked at my nails.

"You don't seem interested," I could feel his eyes on me.

"It's just.. He's not like you," I sighed without looking up.
