~AFTERSCHOOL~
~CAMILA'S POV~
"Shawn, if you talk about college one more time, I swear," I sigh.
"What? I'm leaving the year," he reminds me and continues to talk about it.
~INCOMING CALL FROM KELLS~
"Speaking of, can I call you-"
"I told you that he misses you," Shawn says, as he hangs up, I accept Kells' call.
"Hey, Cam," Kells starts the conversation.
I missed the sound of your voice, Kells.
~COLSON'S POV~
"Hey, Kells," Cam replies," what's up? How was your day?"
Damn, I missed the sound of your voice, Cam.
"It was ok," I tell her," how's being a junior?"
"Not as bad I thought it was gonna be," Cam confesses.
"I told you that you're gonna be ok," I reminded her.
"Maybe it's because I underestimate myself sometimes," she chuckles sheepishly.
"Then don't," I develop a smile, as she becomes speechless.
"I can't believe it's been 1 year since we met," she changes the subject.
"Time flys," I add. "How is North Troutman without me?"
~CAMILA WANTS TO FACETIME~
She's so cute. Not even asking my permission before.
I accept her facetime request, as it connects.
I see Camila in her room, sitting on her bed wearing her regular t-shirt and jeans.
"You better come back soon," she tells me, developing a smile," I miss you.."
"I miss you too, Mila," I smile back at her," And I will."
She chuckles," And sorry, I clicked on the facetime thing by accident."
"No, it's fine. I missed seeing your pretty face," I spat, as she blushes.
~CAMILA'S POV~
"Aww, thanks. I missed seeing yours too," I giggle.
"So do you still go to Kenton or..?" Kells changes the subject. He was in a t-shirt and jeans, sitting on his bed in his college dorm.
"I think I'm gonna take a break and focus on other things. Like getting my permit...and then my licsense," I tell him.
"You still haven't taken drivers ed?" Kells gasps, dramtically, trying to tease me. "Camilita! Your mother must be very disappointed."
"I was supposed to do drivers ed via Shawn last summer. But you know," I break out into laughs," what happened instead."
"He couldn't take a day with you in the front seat," Kells adds," poor kid. "
"Are you taking his side?" I dramatically ask, as I playfully roll my eyes.
"Relax. I'm just kidding," Kells breaks the act," you're gonna be a great driver."
"Ooh, maybe that means that I could drive us on our next date," I spat as we laugh.
"If you really want to," Kells chuckles," but I think that's the guy's job."
"I'm just a weird person, that's all," I shake my head, looking down at the ground, laughing at myself.
"And you're my girlfriend-unless you're cheating on me already," Kells jokes.
"I would never," I argue," unless you are.."
"Hey, I promised to never hurt you," he reminds me.
"And not to hurt yourself," I add as he smiles.
~COLSON'S POV~
"But I would never hurt you," I tell her again, as I look into her eyes, as a silence hits us.
Damn, I really wish I could kiss you right now.
"You really suck at keeping your thoughts to yourself," Camila chuckles.
I sheepishly try to hide my smile.
"Here," she blows a kiss to me through the screen.
I pretend to catch it and smile," Where would we be without Kenton..?"
"And all those "because" moments," She reminds me, looking into my eyes.
---
"We're here," I declared, as I put the car in park, getting ready to get out to open the door for Camila, right as she grabbed my arm.
"Not until you answer my question, Kells," she reminded me, as I turned to face her. Our eyes locked.
"Because," I answered, as I let go from her grasp and opened her door.
She gets out from the passenger seat and came beside me," You never finished.."
I turned to face her and cupped her face, staring into her beautiful eyes," Because.."
---
~CAMILA'S POV~
"That's good," I smiled, Kells smiled back.. "Just curious..why'd you ditch school to come here?" I looked at Kells, as our eyes met.
"Because," He said, getting up from the swing.
"Where are you going?" I asked him, as I grabbed his arm.
He turned around, "Don't you have to go to that movie or whatever?"
"Answer my question first. Because?" I let go of my grasp, as he looked into my eyes.
"Because," He cupped my face.
"C'mon, there has to be more than 'because'- I snickered, as I saw his eyes staring into mine. And fell deep into his eyes.
"..I wanted to see you," He confessed, moving in closer until our faces are decreasingly inches apart.
---
"Honestly where we would be without them?" Kells chuckles.
"You'd still figure out some way to ask me out," I insist.
He develops a smile, as I smile back.
"My favorite person's birthday is coming up," he teases me.
I giggles and shoot back," I knew you were cheating!"
"But you're my favorite person," he jokingly frowns.
Sometimes I feel like you're too good to be true, Kells.
~COLSON'S POV~
"Kells," she says in a serious tone," when're you coming back to Troutman?"
"Soon," I answer.
"But when?" She asks me again.
"You'll see," I smirk.
She sighs," Fine. Ugh, you're no fun."
"Well I have to go now," I start to wrap up our call. "Talk to you later, babygirl."
~CAMILA'S POV~
"Bye, Kells," I shoot him a smile, as he ends the facetime call.
Babygirl? I swear, this feels like a dream.
Me: babygirl really?
Kells: why not? ur my gf
Me: <3
