Hush

13

The next morning was the same routine as usual. I got up then went and woke up Finn and Scarlett, and then got ready.

I put on a orange dress with a white peter pan collar. My white high top converse. And then my black backpack.

When I got downstairs Michael was there, again. I groaned and sat down in my spot next to Scarlett. She looked over at me with a disgusted face. It made me giggle, but quietly.

"Good morning ladies. Any big plans for the week?" Michael asked while folding up his newspaper.

"I have dance practice today." Scarlett said.

"That's exciting. How about you Cami?" He asked. I dropped my fake smile when he called me Cami. Only my family and friends called me that.

"Um I prefer Camille. And no not really. Just homework and hanging out with friends." I said. After the awkward breakfast we went right to school. Finn and I walked in together. We went to the student lounge. Veronica, Betty, Archie, Jughead, and Toni were all there.

"Hi guys." I said sitting down next to Jughead and Toni. They both just smiled at me and went back to their conversations. I took a deep breath and slumped back into the couch going on my phone.

"Hey C, is everything okay?" Veronica asked turning to me. I sat up and pushed my hair behind my ears.

"Yeah everything's fine." I said. The bell then rang so we all headed to class. I walked to first hour with Archie to French.

All day I was so upset and distracted thinking about Micheal and how he wanted to move in. I wasn't even thinking about school. 

So when school finally ended for the day, I didn't want to go home. But I had too because Scarlett didn't like to be alone with Michael.

*********

Once Friday finally came around again, I was very relieved. I could go to Dad's house and be with Sweet Pea and Toni, and not have to deal with stupid Michael. I just want to go to a party and drink my problems away.

When I got to Dad's Toni, Sweet Pea, and Fangs were all waiting outside. Scarlett ran up to them and gave them all hugs.

"Cami!" Sweet Pea said walking up to me. I smiled and gave him a hug.

"I'm going to change quick. Then we can go out." I said before running inside.

I slipped on a jean mini skirt. A black v neck loose fitting crop top that had cross cross cutout on the back. My black high top converse. Then lastly my serpent jacket.

I walked into the living room where everyone was sitting and talking. I went and sat next to Finn, who had Scarlett on his lap.

"So are we ready to go?" I asked everyone.

"Woah. Slow down. I've seen you for like five minutes and now you're going to leave your old man!" Dad said.

"Oh. I'm sorry Dad. We can stay here then." I said. He chuckled shaking his head.

"I'm kidding. Go out and have some fun." Dad said. I quickly said goodbye to Scarlett and Dad. The rest of us made our way outside.

"Okay I don't know or care what we do tonight, as long as there is lots and lots of alcohol involved." I said. Finn looked at me with a worried face. "I've had a long week and Michael is driving me freaking crazy. So I deserve this Finn." I said making my case.

"Well lucky for both of you, there's a party down at the lake. And my friends will be there again!" Toni announced with a big smile. Sweet Pea's face went blank. He was pissed. "But they did assure me that Campbell will not be there." Toni said turning to Sweet Pea. A smile then reappeared on his face.

We all then piled into Fang's truck and drove down to the lake. When we got there I didn't know anyone. So I stuck close to Sweet Pea. Finn was dragged by Toni over to her group of friends. But I watched him get close to her friend Sawyer.

"Sweet Pea, take me to the alcohol my dear!" I said to him. He chuckled and grabbed my hand leading me to the table of alcohol. He poured me a cup and I instantly downed it, the whole thing.

"Camille, it's 4'o clock in the afternoon." He said. I just shrugged. "Um. Okay I guess." He said pouring me another. After pouring himself one, we went and found Toni, Fangs, and Finn. Finn was basically drooling over Toni's friend Sawyer.

"Cami! Sweet Pea!" Toni said greeting us. Finn looked over to see the cup in my hand and rolled his eyes.

"Hi Sweet Pea, and I'm Sawyer by the way! I think we met last week." Sawyer said introducing herself to me.

"Hi I'm Cami, Finn's twin sister."  I said smiling back. She looked at Finn then back to me.

"Oh my gosh yes! I totally see the resemblance." She said chuckling. I chuckled along with her. "So you and Sweet Pea are dating?" She asked. I nodded and looked over to Sweet Pea.

"Yeah. I'm surprised Campbell didn't say anything. Considering she was a huge bitch last weekend." Sweet Pea said rolling his eyes. I put my hand on his arm to calm him down.

"Whatever Sweet Pea." Toni said.

"No she was annoying. She just needs to get over the whole situation." Sweet Pea spat. I grabbed his hand.

"Sweets, how about we go on a walk. Take a breather?" I said to him. He smiled and agreed. I took his hand and we walked away. We made our way to the edge of the lake where there was an empty bench to sit.

"I'm sorry Cam. I just get so pissed off about the whole thing." He explained. I rubbed his arm to console him. "Campbell just really fucked me up. But now I have you." He said looking at me with a smile. I smiled back.

"Aw Sweets." I said leaning my head onto his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around my waist and squeezed me close to him.

"Now, what's up with your Mom and this guy Michael?" He asked. I just threw my head back and groaned. 

After Sweet Pea finally calmed down a little more, and I explained the whole situation we returned back to the group. Sweet Pea apologized to Sawyer and Toni. Sawyer and I talked a little bit too, and we totally hit it off!
