Beautiful misery

Part 6

Recap:

I looked back up into his eyes, noticing how unusual they looked: A dark green shade with a touch of turquoise. They were definitely unique.

He was staring at me with, what was it... Pity, in his eyes?

I suddenly felt an arm around my waist and turned around to see Jason.

"Remember, 12 o'clock in front of the cafeteria doors." He whispered in my ear, his lips brushing against my skin causing shivers to run down my body.

He then left and I was alone with this unbelievably hot guy just standing in front of me, eyes bared into mine.

"Sorry for uh... bumping into you again." I said quickly breaking my gaze with his to look straight down at my feet.

"Don't worry about it" He said in a deep, mysterious voice.

Just then Cam walked over.

"Hey Maya! Uh.. hey Giovanni..." She said, slghtly blushing.

"Hi" Giovanni said still staring at me. "Well I'm goinhg to go now. Try watching out where your going next time." He said with a little bit of humor in his eyes. I was mesmerized by his beauty.

"Uh yeah, sure.. Sorry again" I said quickly.

I watched as he walked away swiftly. Man he was something! I wonder if he knows just how crazily good-looking he is.

"Maya!"

The sound of Cam's voice quickly snapped me out of my day-dreaming.

"AH! Sorry I was just, uh, thinking about... how strange the hallway looks!"

"Haha you sure you don't mean you were thinking about Giovanni?"

"Um excuse me but don't think I didn't notice you're embarrassment when you came up here and noticed Giovanni was here too." I said laughing.

"Haha, right. Well as far as I can see he seems to be a lot more interested in you than in me!"

"What?! Nooo!" I said suddenly blushing real hard.

"Ahahahaa now look who's blushing!" She cried.

"Whatever, what's your next class?"

"Um, math's. UGH!"

"Oooo mine too!"

"Awesome, some of my friends are in that class, I'd like you to meet them!"

"Okay..." I said kind of stressed all of a sudden. Would they like me?

"Don't worry, they're all really nice," she said, obviously noticing my uncertainty.

On the way to class we talked about my first lesson and how Jason wanted to eat at lunch with me. She didn't seem too happy about that and said those boys were players. I asked her what she meant by the word 'player', and she explained that a player is someone who just plays with your feelings to get you in bed with them. That caught me off guard. It suddenly made me think of my dad's bad intensions and well to say the least, it scared me. Jason scared me...

"Umm Cam... Do you think you could maybe come to lunch with me and Jason? I'm not too sure about this whole player thing... It kind of... scares me." I said.

"Oh, I didn't mean to scare you!" She said honestly. "But sure I'll come If you want. I was just saying that though to make sure you don't do anything stupid because you think the guy likes you, at least make him wait a while before-hand because you never know. I may be wrong, he might actually have real feelings for you, I just want to warn you."

"Oh. You think he has feelings for me?"

"Well I don't know, maybe. But like I said he's known as a player so don't count on it."

"Good. I don't think I'm ready to be in a relationship quite yet..."

In fact I was definitely not ready. I probably never would be. The raping I had had the night before made my life so much worse. I had lost my appetite, was feeling small and useless every minute of the day was a fake smile, a fake laugh... and pure self-hate inside. It was nothing new, just worse.

"Maya, are you ok?" Cam said with a worried expression on her face. I was feeling hopeless by then and felt tears swelling up.

"Yeah, sure," I mumbled, just as we were entering class.

Just before Cam could respond, the math teacher spoke up.

"Why are you two late?!" She shouted.

"We... got lost," Cam said in a rush.

I quickly took a seat in the somewhere around the middle and watched as Cam sat down on the other side seeing as there weren't any seats near me. I was quite relieved, now she couldn't question me about before.

I was lost in my own thoughts the whole lesson and it went by quite quickly. On the way out I was careful not to bump into anyone and just as I looked around to see where Cam was, Jason showed up out of no-where and put his hand on the small of my back. I felt shivers run up my spine.

"Hey babe," he said wearing a cocky smile. Just then Cam showed up grabbing Jason's arm and aggressively shoving it off my back.

"Listen up, loser! Don't you dare play ANY of your stupid little games on my friend! You do ONE thing to her she doesn't want you to do, I will kick you in the balls so hard you won't see the light of day ever again."

I was surprised at how mad she seemed to be. She was practically giving him the death glare with so much intensity her face was getting red.

"Chill Cam, I'm just taking her out to lunch, alright?"

"Oh sure, Fine with me, but I'm comin' with ya, you know I don't trust you!

"What?! Fine but if it goes well, You'll have to let me go out to lunch with her again, only this time, ALONE!"

Cam narrowed her eyes and gave him an evil look. "Only if she accepts!"

After a few more seconds of evil stares coming from the two of them we finally started making our way towards the front doors, to get lunch I didn't even want, with a guy I didn't even trust.
