CAMMIE POV: 

My first day of junior year was amazing! I'm the new dance team captain, my friends are awesome, and Shannon Beveridge called me beautiful. Shannon Beveridge! I've had a little thing for her since freshman year but she's never noticed me until now, until I "got hot" over summer break. I would love to be in a relationship with her but it's literally impossible given our friend groups. I'm pulled out of my daze when Heather nudges my shoulder "What?" I ask "You ready for practice, captain?"                                                                                                                                             "Born ready" I chuckle "But seriously what the hell is up with having practice at six PM?" Heather huffs, "It's the only time the gym is available because the volleyball team has practice from three to five, it's the best I can do Heather"                                                                                                             "Stupid volleyball team and their privileges" She rolls her eyes and laces up her sneakers "Hey come on they're not stupid" Heather's eyebrows shoot up "You just have a biased opinion cause you have a crush on Beveridge" My cheeks heat up "I do not"                                                                                "Yeah ok whatever you say there Cams" She pats my shoulder "Oh look there's your girlfriend" She points to the gym doors where the volleyball team's coming out from and Shannon's the last one, she's so hot! She looks over in my direction and smiles, giving me a slight wave, I blush and wave back. She jogs over to me "Hey beautiful" She gives me that smile and leans in closer to me "Wanna go grab dinner after you're done with practice? Ally and I are supposed to hang out but I'd rather be with you" She says so smoothly that I almost kissed her right then and there  "As friends?" I joke and she laughs "Yeah friends, for now" I raise my eyebrows at her sudden burst of confidence "And what makes you say that?" I lean in, our lips inches apart. She licks her lips and then looks me in the eye "Cause you're hot and I'm hot, it's just bound to happen eventually" I roll my eyes and lean back into my seat "Practice is over at eight, be here at a quarter to eight"                                                                                                                                                                            "Yes ma'am" She smirks "I'm gonna go home and shower and I'll be here at a quarter to eight"             "Bye gorgeous" She smiles one last time and slings her black duffel bag over her shoulder "Cammie, just say yes to her already. She may be the captain of the stupid volleyball team and the biggest player in this school but she seems really hung up on you" Heather plops down next to me "I'm not that easy Heather, if she really wants more than sex then she has to prove it" I nod assertively "Mhmm you preach it sis" I giggle "Alright we should get started, everyone seems to be coming in"

"Bye captain, have fun on your little date with Beveridge" Heather teases, I shut my locker with a sigh "It's not a date" 

"What's this date thing I'm hearing about?" Joanna pops her head in "Who is it?" 

I sigh once again "It's not a date, Shannon and I are gonna go grab some dinner" 

"Shannon? As in Shannon Beveridge, Shannon?" Joanna mumbles and I nod "I don't like her, Cammie. She's trouble" 

"You've never even talked to her Jo" 

"I don't have to talk to her to know she's trouble. She's hooked up with almost every single girl in this school and broken all of their hearts" I can't argue with Joanna there, what if I'm just another girl who she wants to hookup with? 

"Look, I may strongly dislike the volleyball team but if she did just want to hookup with Cammie she would've asked already. It seems like she really likes you Cam, go for it" Heather interjects with a soft smile, reassuring me. "Thanks Heather" I smile 

"Whatever," Joanna rolls her eyes "don't come crying to me when you find out you're just part of her little game" She slams her locker shut and walks away as Shannon walks in

"Hey, you ready?" She smiles softly at me, her blue eyes shining "Yeah let me just grab my bag" I was about to walk away but she grabs my wrist "What's wrong?" She sees right through me "Nothing" I deflect "Cam, come on you can tell me" She pleads "I'll tell you at dinner" She nods and lets it go 

____________

"So are you gonna tell me what's got you all upset?" She stares at me from across the booth, we're sat at the local diner. "Have you ever been in a serious relationship Shannon?" I cut straight to the point

She looks down at her clasped hands on the table "I know what this is about, someone told you I'm trouble and that you should stay away from me and all that bullshit" 

I feel a little bit bad, she looks a little offended from my statement "Look no offense but you're a player Shannon, you don't date, you just lead girls on and then cut them off after you hookup with them" 

"Yeah I know that already Cammie" Our conversation is interrupted when the waitress arrives with our food "Anyway, as I was saying I don't date" She shrugs and goes back to that douchebag act she plays "Then what is this?" I point between us "Like you said, it's just friends grabbing dinner" I shake my head "I can't believe you" 

"Can't believe what?" She asks genuinely confused 

"You!" I say exasperatedly "You call me 'gorgeous', 'beautiful', and act all sweet and then the second you hear something you don't like you immediately go back to being a douchebag" 

She laughs slightly "Well then want do you want from me? Clearly I don't date and it obviously seems like you don't want to be friends"

"I want you to stop being such an asshole, that's what I want!" I clench my jaw 

"Look I really like you Cammie but I don't date, it's just not me" She shrugs and I stand up angrily "Fine then! Why don't you go fuck one of your many girl toys? Because obviously I'm just wasting my time here! Bye Shannon, don't ever talk to me again" I storm out of the diner

"Cam! Come on don't be like that" She runs after me "At least let me drive you home, I just want you to get home safe" 

"I'd rather walk home in pitch black darkness than get in a car with you right now" I look anywhere but at her 

She sighs and unlocks her car door "Get in Cam" I shake my head "No way" 

"Cammie just get in the car, I won't even talk to you during the ride home just please get in" She practically begs me "I said no Shannon" I start walking away 

"Alright if you wanna be stubborn like that, I guess I'll just take matters into my own hands" I hear her get out of her car "You asked for this" She sighs and picks me up in one swift motion, I let out a loud squeal as she throws me over her shoulder "Put me down!" I slap her on the back "I'll put you down when you're in the car" She carries me over to her jeep with ease and opens the passenger door "There, I put you down" She smirks and latches on my seatbelt

"I hate you" I say but I can't help the little smile that spreads across my face. She low-key cares about me, she picked me up and carried me all the way to her car just because she wants me to get home safe" 

"No you don't, you looooove me" She teases, I punch her shoulder "Shut up, just take me home" She laughs "Right away honey"
