Chapter 18: You're Mine

C A M I L A

After being dismissed at the clinic, I made my way to my locker and bumped into Zach who wrapped me in an imbrace.

"You have no idea how worried I was about you," He said and squeezed me even tighter

"Ok Zach I got the message, can you let me breathe now?" I requested before we parted

"Who gave you those?" Zach laid his eyes on the boquet I held in my arms

"There's no name on the card so I don't actually-"

"Bin it."

"What? Don't you know how rare these things are?"

"So you're saying the new Cam takes things from guys she doesn't know now," Zach said in an annoyed tone

"I don't want to bin it because I was thinking of giving it to Chloe instead Zach."

"Good. I won't be reminded of that Ryder prick."

My eyebrow shot up. "What does Ryder have to do with this?"

"Cam, only someone blind wouldn't see how much that playboy's trying so hard to get you," Zach explained. "Gahh forget I said that. Let's just go do something for free period."

Everything seemed to smooth out between me and Zach after talking about his hunch that Ryder's the one that got me the boquet. Zach and I were having fun together until Chloe ran into us and practically dragged me outside to go see a stunt an anonymous  person pulled.

The moment I stepped out of campus, I immediately saw my face graffitied on practically every single wall that you can see outside. Seniors, juniors, freshmans and sophomores like myself were outside looking around the campus with shocked expressions.
"Isn't that the sophomore that passed out in the cafeteria?" A junior girl whispered to the other junior girl beside her.

"It's so unfair how the two hottest  guys fought over her earlier and now possibly one of them graffitied her face everywhere," the other girl whispered back

"I bet she's such a slut that she made out with both of them," the first girl replied

I realised that I wasn't the only one eavesdropping on their conversation when Chloe stepped in front of the blonde girl who called me a slut with an angry look on her face.

"What did you just call my friend?" Chloe fired at her

"Chlo, don't mind her," I tried to stop her but she still scowled at the girl who insulted me.

The junior girl rolled her eyes at me. "Puh-lease just drop the good girl act. We all know that you make out with your so called 'big bro like bff' Zach when no one's around."

"Cam here isn't like you Jessica," Out of the blue, Zach appeared beside me with his arm slung around my shoulders.

Why does that name sound so familiar???

"Oh hey ex babe, miss me?" Jessica 'seductively' bit her bottom lip

Yup. Definitely heard of her alright.

That's Jessica as in Hayley's older sister Jessica and also happens to be Zach's ex who's been trying so hard to do a comeback with him. Long story's short, Jessica is the reason why Zach turned into well half a bad boy.

"Don't even try Jessica. I know that you used me once and you can do it again but I ain't stupid anymore," Zach replied

"Sooner or later you'll realise that Camila over there won't match this," Jessica said. "Come on biatch, I don't want to get basic germs on me."

With that being said, Jessica shot me one last glare before she walked away with her lackey following close behind her. Zach's grip on me tightened protectively as he scowled at Jessica's direction.

His gaze turned to me. "She didn't hurt you did she?"

I shook my head. "No but I can handle my own fights you know."

"Yeah, I just tend to forget that you're not so little anymore," Zach teased, meaning the one foot advantage he has on me.
 
I rolled my eyes. "It's not my fault I didn't get dad's height."

Zach's grin came back but his scowl appeared moments later when he saw the graffitis. "I'm gonna beat the crap out of James."

"Zach, I doubt that it's him," I said

Zach's anger fadded before he suddenly pulled me into an embrace. "Be careful Cam, there's a lot of people like Jessica around. I can't lose you."

I was going to reply to Zach but the light taps on my shoulder forced the two of us to break apart. I looked to see Chloe and Rye making a face that made me roll my eyes at them.

"Sorry to break this moment but Mila we have to get to bio," Chloe said

"Alright, see you later lil sis," Zach said before Chloe, Rye and I made our way in the front entrance of campus.

Once we reached  the main hallway, Chloe playfully elbowed me. "Sooo what was that about?"

"Zach's just being paranoid. He thinks that I'm Ryder's new target and at the same time, Ryder being the one behind the graffiti and the flowers," I explained but the two of them looked like I just said something so obvious.

"It's kinda obvious Mil. Zach and Ryder fought over you at the cafeteria and Ryder even rushed you to the clinic," Rye said. "And there's a rumor going around that you and Ryder are dating."

My eyebrow shot up. "Who said that?"

"Well, Tina heard Mrs. Devon then she told Aria then Aria told Jeniffer who told Penelope after that she told Kyla then-"

"Just get straight to the point Chlo," Rye complained

"In short Kyla from my History class told me that this girl Tina heard Mrs. Devon telling Principal James your boyfriend brought you there and she referred to Ryder," Chloe explained and my eyes went wide with shock

That's it! I've had enough with that jerk!

"You two go on without me, I just need to do something quick," I said before speed walking towards the entrance.

I took three steps forward before someone pulled me in the small, dark and dusty janitor's room. I looked up to see Ryder smirking down at me.

"You said you were looking for me?" He said

"I know that it was you," I replied in a dead serious tone

"What are you talking about?" He asked with a fake shocked expression

"Stop acting like you don't know what I'm talking about. I thought about it and I'm convinced that you're behind the boquet and the graffitis."

Ryder walked towards me and stopped when he was just a few centimeters away from me. "The only thing missing is skydiving." 

It suddenly came to me, Ryder was referring to the things I said when I was introducing myself in class a year ago....

"Hey I'm Camila Evans. Uh I love receiving or finding rare things, graffitis and I really want to go skydiving one day."

"How do you still remember that?" I asked

He lowered his face so that it was only a breath away from mine. "Just a reminder that you're mine, Prisoner."
