At home, we prepared for school, which was starting in two days’ time. We set out outfits, makeup, and of course, ate ice cream and watched The Neighbors.
A vibration coming from my butt surprised me as I oggled at Zac Efron’s shirtless frame. It was a text from Cameron. I reluctantly slid the lock screen on my phone and opened to answer.
Cam: U no I didn’t mean what I said, rite?
Me: I know
Cam: So ur not mad at me?
Me: I wouldn’t say that
Cam: Y :’(
Me: Idk, I just need some time and space to comprehend things
Cam: So abt earlier
Me: Yes…?
Cam: Was that the… u no…
Me: Can we not talk about that
Cam: K
Me: Yeah
Cam: U no I’m just trying 2 protect u
Me: Yes, but sometimes I need to be my own knight in shining armour, you feel?
Cam: I understand.
Me: So are you ready for the first day of school?
Cam: Yep
Me: Great
Cam: Are you still going to the party
Me: You’re still griping on me about that?
Cam: I’m just concerned
Me: Stop being my father
Cam: Sry, sry
Me: Well, gtg, Zac Efron’s abs await, and Sarai is waiting.
Cam: *rolls eyes* Love you
Me: I care about you too
Cam: Wait, how come you never say I love you
Me: I just don’t
Cam: Why
Me: Because love doesn’t exist
Cam: Yes it does. Love makes the world go round *draws heart in air*
Me: Sorry, I didn’t realize it was cheesy catchphrase day. Oh wait, it isn’t
Cam: Well it is. Get your fact straight, nerd
Me: :P Now shoo, I’m suffering Zac Efron Ab Deprivation, or ZEAD
Cam: Whatever
Cam: I care about you
Me: I care about you too
Cam: <3
And it was that one emoji that made my heart flip in my chest.
