"I still don't get why you couldn't just let me mail it to him," I groaned into my phone.

My hands were now sweaty. I had to wipe them on my lap continuously.

The Uber driver looked at me oddly.

"You don't get it Cam. It's disrespect to mail a class ring. It's already bad enough that I'm asking you to do it. Mailing it would be basically saying 'fuck you' to Easy," Noah replied.

"Why me though? Couldn't you just ask Craig to do it." Craig is Noah's best friend.

"Craig doesn't know about what happened."

"Okay... we definitely need to talk about that later. So let me get this straight. I knock on Easy's door, give him the ring, explain why you couldn't make it to the final game and leave." I checked my face on the mirror and patted down my wig for like the hundredth time.

I looked like Camille, but for some reason, I felt like Cameron.

"...Yeah," he sighed dejectedly.

"But it isn't fair. The scouts from WSU, UCLA and CalTech were there. You were so close to being recruited but this just had to happen." Noah could have gotten a spot in any of those universities' football teams.

"Ey, Cam. It's alright. I'm fine and I want you to also be fine about it too. Cape Town's a nice place. I applied to Rhodes and UCT. I'm sure I'll get a place. I need to do this, to fix my mistake. For that to happen, I need to me close to Mill and Noel aka Noah Jr," he chuckles, "From her ultrasounds, I can tell she is going to be a heartbreaker like her aunt, so no stress." I could hear the fear he tried to hide away in his voice. I let out a tear. The driver looked at me through the rare view mirror.

"When's she due?"

"Around next week."

I was about to reply when the driver hollared for my attention. We were now parked outside a grand white pristine house.

Wow!

"Noah, I'm there now."

"Just to make sure, you did tell him you were coming, right?"

"Um, maybe I didn't." The driver gave me a pointed look that clearly said, 'get the fuck out of my car.'

I scrambled out and he immediately left the moment I closed the door.

"You don't just go unannounced to Easy's house. Everyone knows that."

"Is there some Easy McGuire hand guide that's circulating. It seems to have skipped me." I rolled my eyes despite the fact that he couldn't see me.

I walked over to the wrought iron gate.

Rich people.

"I really don't get why you don't like him."

"I really don't get why you didn't ask Cameron to do this." I squinted my eyes trying to make out the buttons on the intercom.

"Oh hell no! The last thing I need is Easy thinking we are closer than he made out to be. Besides, Easy has a soft spot for you, so he'll take it easy on me."

"Ha! Right. He called me fat last time, remember?" I scoffed as I clicked a button.

"He was generally in a bad mood that day and you hurt one of his players before a big game. Anyways, you got your revenge and you said he actually apologized. Easy never apologizes."
