Camilla:

School today has been uneventful. With the only exciting part being my science task. I know that it's really nerdy of me but who cares ? I love science.

I met Becky at the mall- yes I've been forced to come here. But it's okay since she'll be buying me a few books and pay for my meal. Well that's me going easy on her. Trust me.

After all the shopping , we set down at Burger King . Since Becky doesn't like this amazing place or it's food, she bought herself a pizza. Sometimes I wonder how we became friends then I remember that I love this goof.

"So....." Becky starts. I brace myself for whatever she's about to say knowing she over talks. I think i love that about her. We're never in silence . There's always something she has to say. It helps since I don't talk as much.

"Remember the rude new guy? Yeah? So stories may have spread of him being in the Silent Ones' gang. Crazy right? Anyways the dude doesn't know in how much danger he is. He could get jumped any minute! Like it would be such a shame if such a fine piece of guy has to die or something. Like I-"

"Becky? You're drooling. And yeah but why you care so much? Can we talk about anything else?"

" Fine grandma. Okay. Ooooh... did you hear about the story of Chloe' and Brian? Nevermind I know you didn't. Anyways. They broke up and let me just say: sad. I still have to figure out why they broke up. It was so sudden. I really liked them as a couple. Hmmm. Also... Miss Ron is finally retiring. Can you believe that?! I dislike her so much. "

"B you can't just dislike her for not changing your 40 to a 90. I mean you did do bad that time."

" Heyyy she just didn't like me. Anyways... Jason still wants to talk to you. Just let hi-"

"Becky. No. I don't want to talk to anyone. I really just want to finish this year with no distractions. And besides I don't have the time. I mean I am at school till 15:00 then off to work at 17:00. Being a senior is tough. Mom can't even get enough sleep because of the stress. So no boys"

"Fine I won't bring it up. I want you to enjoy your life Camilla. You're too young to have this much stress. See... you're even getting that weird saggy grandma face." She says with a disgusted look.

"You mean wrinkles? And I'm okay with what I do. I'm content. I love helping mom."

"Fine. Oooh guess what? Hot rude guy alert!!! Oooh his coming over." She says with wide eyes.

I turn to see but she whisper yells at me for looking.
Suddenly my heart starts pumping any faster and I can't seem to grasp why.

"Uhm hey... I came to apologise for my sort of mean behaviour. Uhm.. . I kind of forgot your name. But can we call truce?"

Becky sat and just blinked at him. I would laugh of he wasn't here. Makes me wonder....

"Becky.... you have to respond you know. " I remind her as softly as I can to stay invisible but loud enough for only her to hear.

"Right. " She nods slowly. No doubt she's freaking out. " uhhh yeah truce and all... but why? You been a bitch since I met you." Speak about no filter.

"Look I am just apologising. Not trying to make friends. "

"But - Fine" I cut whatever Becky is about to say knowing she would forgive him. "You may leave now. You're making my friend a tad bit nervous. " He turns and for a second i see shock but it disappeares as soon as it comes when he finally sees me. So much for being invisible.

"Sorry did not see you there. Hi...? Uhhh what is your name?"

"Not important . Thank you so much for your time. Becky can we leave? Now." I stand up a bit too forcefully.

"C?! What?! Why?! " Becky asks me with steady eyes.

"Because I'm done eating. Also how the hell can someone apologise then do the same thing afterwards? This guy." I say as I point to the whose name I have yet to learn.

"Uhmm  okay? Well we'll see you. Thanks for the apology. " Becky tells him as I'm already packed and ready to leave.

As we get to Becky's car she abruptedly turns around causing me to almost crash into her.

"Cam... why did you have to be mean?" She asks sounding as confused as she looks.

"I don't know. Something about him just - ughh I don't know. Well I'm sorry. "

"Oh no. No apologies.  I liked it. He was mean after apologising for being mean. But I didn't expect you to fly out of your seat and make a beeline for the doors. " She says with a small smile.

"Right. Shall we go home? I'm tired. I have work in a few hours. "

"Cam...its Friday.... you don't have work. "

"Really ? Wow. Time really did go fast. " Becky laughs for that.

We got home and Becky decided to stay the night . We watched a movie and fell asleep right after.
