I let out a shaky breath, NCAA is coming up. I am looking forward to it, I really do. But, Kayden will be around.
I already feel anxious about the competiton, it's a big deal. But knowing Kayden will be there, makes me not want to go.
"Morgan, put down your phone please." Professor Ted says and look back the board. "Hey." Cameron sits beside me, "you're early today." I say sarcastically.
Cameron is usually late for class, I am not surprised. But he is 40 minutes late today, which is not like him.
"Overslept." Cameron shakes his head, I then noticed his red eyes. "Did something happen?" I ask, out of concern. Cameron shakes his head, no.
I then look down at my notes, should I prompt? I shouldn't... If he wants to talk about it, he will.
"Okay." I muttered and begin to take down notes.
During lunch, I went to find Nate and Daryl. "So how was your date?" Daryl ask.
"What date?" Nate snap his head at me. Oh geez.
"It didn't... Happen." I put my books down, "he was cute though." Daryl says, putting his hand to his chin.
I look at him, "what do you mean? He didn't come at all."
"The one with the— That's him!" Daryl points at Cameron who just entered the cafeteria. I put his hand down, "do not just point at people like that!"
"He is not cute and I told you to stay away from him." Nate glares at me, "he's a nice guy." I stated.
"Everyone is nice when you both first meet." Nate sips on his water. "What did he do?" I sigh, asking that question.
I normally do not care but, Nate wants me sassy from this boy so bad.
"He was held back a year in his high school because he broke a guy's arm."
"That ain't bad." Daryl and I say in unison, "because the guy trip over his feet." Nate finishes his story.
Nate continues to eat his food. But I do not believe his story, not one bit. He doesn't look like he would hurt a fly.
But then again, you can't judge the book by its cover.
I look down at my watch and noticed that I have to get to my class on the other end of school.
"I will see you guys later."
JC 🏀: me & naomi will be coming to watch you play in the ncaa!
Alexis 🏀: naomi isn't playing??
JC 🏀: nope 🤷🏻♀️
I put my phone down and pay attention to the lecture.
But Naomi isn't playing which is surprising, maybe she didn't get into the team.
Whatever, I will ask when I see her. JC asked me out again, but I turned him down because of work.
The class ended and I left the campus, ready to go home and crash. I am knackered.
"Hey." JC comes up to me a cup of iced chocolate. "Oh my god, hi." I stood in front of him, shock.
"Since we can't have lunch or dinner... Let me walk you home." JC says with a smile.
His actions made my heart flutter, makes me feel like a high school girl again. "Why are you always in North Carolina?" I ask, as he is always around nowadays.
"Because you're here." JC bumps my shoulder, smirking.
I blush, "go back to school, Justin."
"I will come to DUKE next semester." JC then say, "I will see you everyday."
I chuckled lightly, he already have plans.
It's cute.
"Hey," Cameron stops his black motorcycle at the curb. "I could've given you a ride home." Cameron says.
"I will see you on soon." JC smiles and left.
"Does he like you or something?" Cameron walks up the steps to his house.
"I don't know." I shrug, walking behind him. "Don't follow me." Cameron says, jokingly.
"I live opposite of you!" I frown, playing along with him. "And please water your plants." I added.
"Oh right, thanks for reminding." Cameron snap his fingers.
And he will forget about it.
JC 🏀: why was cameron there?
Cameron and I entered our own homes. I sigh, looking down at JC's text.
Alexis 🏀: he lives opposite of me :-)
JC 🏀: oh
I put my phone aside and grab extra cash from my drawer and left the house.
I stop by the small grocery store at the end of the street.
A red sports car then drive up with loud music, "stop!"
I jumped at the sudden scream, and realise it is Kayden and his group of friends.
"It's that girl." Kayden got out of the car, I froze, what am I suppose to do?
"Come here." Kayden grab my wrist, pulling me away from the grocery store. "Where?" I resist his force.
He yanks on my arm and throw me to the ground, he lowers himself down and kicked me in the leg.
I winced at the pain, "what did you do to lose the baby huh?"
My vision turned blurry, there are fresh tears running down my cheeks. "How?" Kayden grabs my chin, "I didn't have it at all." I confessed.
"Okay, get up." Kayden helps me off the ground. "Why did you lie?"
His voice suddenly turned soft, I blink hard and took a good look at his face. He is smiling, weirdly.
"Why?!" He pushes me to the brick wall, "ah!" Kayden grabs my hair and pulls me back.
"Shit." Kayden then runs away.
I quickly made my way home, people on the sidewalks giving me weird stares.
I just want to be home, Kayden won't find me there.
