Last Summer - A Cameron Boyce FanFic (Completed)

Chapter 27.

I wake up thinking that all of that stuff about Cameron was just a dream. That we didn't actually kiss & nothing happened in real life but by the time I grab a cup of coffee from the kitchen, i've come to the terms that it was real.

I'm not good with feelings or sharing them by that matter so I really depend on hiding it until I leave.

"Hey!" Cameron says, entering the kitchen with a towel around his neck.

I don't say anything, instead I keep zoning out because i'm trying so hard to pretend like nothing happened. I don't even think I like him, maybe I just like the feeling I felt when we...kissed?

"You okay?" he asks, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"What, me? yeah. I'm fine. Why?" I awkwardly ask.

He chuckles at how nervous I probably look. "I don't know, you just seem...quiet..."

"I'm always quiet, nothing new" I say before exiting the kitchen.
Could I be any more obvious? it's like I don't even know how to talk to him anymore.
I don't like him & that's a fact so why is this so difficult?
Maybe it'll all be over if we actually talk about it? but I don't want to face the humiliation when we do.

I get into my room & close the door slowly, sliding down on the floor with my back against the door, cringing at how awkward that was.

It's like I need some sort of closure or something, to tell me that I don't really like him. I've just been single for too long right?

"Knock knock"
I hear Sophie's voice say outside of my door.

I get up to open it & she's standing out there with a "look" in her eyes.

"Hey..." I say.

She barges in & sits on the bed.

"Come in...I guess" I sarcastically tell her.

"So what happened?" she tells me.

I get confused. "What are you talking about?"

"With Cameron. I just talked to him & he said you were acting weird. He's worried is all" she tells me.

I seriously could have handled what I feel in front of Cameron properly but no, I decided to act "Weird".
Sophie really put all that stuff about Cameron in my head yesterday.

"So...do you like him?" she asks, hoping for a positive answer.

"Sophie...I was probably just tired when I talked to Cameron" I lie. "And no, he's just & will always be my friend".

Her eyes go in disappointment. "Okay, but I know Cameron, he's completely clueless. He's gonna start thinking you're homesick or something".

Maybe that's just it? i'm probably homesick right? I mean there's no possible way that me, Harley Miller can fall for Cameron Boyce. There's no way.

"Let him think that, because I don't like him like that...at all" I tell her.

"Oh by the way, Cameron needs to talk to you" she blurts out.

My heart skips a beat. "Wait what?"

She smirks. "Why did you freeze huh?"
