8:00

we sat in silence just rocking on the swing.

"so.." he speaks up after a few minutes.

"so.." i said back, feeling the tension in the air.

"cameo, you know i never wanted to hurt you" he said looking down

"stop. i did not come here for you to make me think about the past ethan" i said feeling uneasy already

"it just happened and i didn't know what to do so i played it off" he began to say before i started to get up

"shut up ethan" i say as my eyes begin to water. he grabbed me and now we were both standing.

"i just want us to be friends cam" he says pleadingly.

this kid has to be drunk or something because there is no way he wants to be my friend and he would never act this way

"us? friends? that's hilarious" i say rolling my eyes and pulling my arm away from his grip.

"cam, just give me a chance to actually be your friend. i know i was a jerk but come on." he said stepping closer to me.

i sit him back down on the swing and squat down to his level. i think about what i'm about to say, wondering if it's a good idea.

"you really want us to be friends?"

"yes, i really do cam" he says looking down

"we can be friends as long as you don't ever talk to me and leave me alone" i say laced with attitude and smile as i turn on my heel and walk away.

wow. i feel so badass right now. or i did until i ran hard into someone's chest. i began to fall when they wrapped their arm around me to prevent me from falling.

"woah, easy there" they said sounding as if they were laughing

i look up and about faint.
anthony. he is holding me in his arms this very minute. he smells so good. wow i need to stop.

we are just sitting there when i realize it's been about a minute and it's getting awkward.

"i'm so sorry" i say looking down and giggling

"it's okay... cameo?" he says with a smile but raises his eyebrow as he asked me my name.

"uh yes, thats me" i say with a big smile
"anthony?" i ask him shyly

"thats my name" he says
"you want a drink?" he asked as he holds his own drink

"hmm i'll take yours" i say as i grab his and try to take a sip but fail from laughing so much because of the look on his face.

"wow, did you just do that?" he asks as the shocked expression stays on his face

"i'm sorry! i was trying to be smooth" i say with a giggle

"smooth? you kind of failed with that kid. half my drink is gone because you spit it out from laughing so hard" he says laughing.
