Walking In The Day - Pt 14

Tuesday morning Peyton was walking into her first period classroom, having searched for Kameron everywhere, but not having seen her. It was odd, they'd slept together but they didn't even have each other's cell phone numbers. How on earth had that happened?

"555-5685," said Kameron into Peyton's ear.

Peyton jumped and turned around, right into Kameron's arms. "I thought you said you couldn't read my mind?"

"I can't, but if I was thinking it, I was pretty sure you were thinking it. You are holding your cell phone....," smiled Kameron. A hot blush exploded onto her cheeks. "So, how did it go?"

"After I let him down easy?" whispered Peyton.

"Huh?"

"I 'lifted' us up to the ceiling to make my point," shrugged Peyton.

Kameron laughed. "You're a drama queen, aren't you?"

"Miss Falke's and Miss Ambroise, do you mind taking your seats so we can begin class?" asked Mrs. Peckard.

Blushing even more, a few classmates giggling and whispering behind cupped hands, the two girls sat down. Peyton in front of Kameron, Kameron let her hand linger on Peyton's shoulder as she passed her.

"Cozy?" asked Connor.

"Hush," snapped Kameron. She rubbed her eyes, the new contact lenses were bothering her. They were as close to her natural eye color as they'd been able to find. The violet color had yet to bleed away and this worried Sarah.

As much as Kameron had enjoyed their tryst, she wasn't sure how good it had been for her to take human blood, it seemed to be making her act differently.

"What's going on?" asked Connor in a soft voice.

"Stop being Mike Wallace, would you?" asked Kameron.

"Are you..."

"I'll belt you," threatened Kameron. "I'll tell you when we are in the newsroom, ok?"

"You'd better," said Connor, his eyes moving to Peyton, then back to Kameron.

The café was bustling with activity; Kameron and Peyton were sitting in a corner of the room, chatting easily. Their fingers meet midway on the table, Peyton rubbed Kameron's long fingers. "People are looking," said Peyton. "I can feel their eyes on us."

"You're crew is looking hard, especially Shane and Jamison."

"You're not freaked out?" asked Peyton. Casting a glance towards the table she had sat at previously.

"I would be if they knew my other secret," shrugged Kameron. "But the fact that I happen to like you more than I like any other person in this room, no, that doesn't bother me."

"Well...," smiled Peyton. "..I'm very glad to hear that."

"We still doing that whole movie at your house thing?" asked Kameron softly as she bit into an apple.

"No, we are all going to the theatre," said Peyton. "Sarah's idea, you think they like each other? My dad and Sarah?"

Kameron laughed. "Sarah likes everyone, as in male or female, so I don't know," admitted Kameron.

"Kam," said Connor breathlessly as he sat down at the table.

"Connor, Peyton, Peyton this is Connor," said Kameron. "What has your panties in a bundle?"
