Love Bound 1: Wings [YA Fantasy/Comedy]

[ROUND TWO ONC 2021 qualifier]
Young Camille Kamdev is hoping on her sixteen birthday she'll magically wake up as a zit-less, sassy, grown-up goddess, one babes will fall in love with because she finally has it, whatever 'it' is. That or the God of Love will take mercy on her and send someone.

Instead, Cammy welcomes her sixteenth scratching an itch she can't rid of, her parents stare at her as if she's grown horns and conspire in hushed whispers--clearly up to something--and her best friend, Becca-Banana, blurts, "Oh, my God, guess who just asked me out?" in the clichést of cliches teen-love scenes. Reggie Sanchez with his lopsided smile and a dimple to die for is now taken. And if that wasn't enough to send any teen screaming, an unexpected visitor rocks up with news-to-end-all-news, just in time to throw her life into utter chaos.

~~~

"I'm a what?" Cammy asked, blinking like a deer caught in the headlight, for that is exactly what she was.

Her visitor smiled, a smile so sickly sweet she both wanted to punch him in the face and go 'Aww, aren't you a cutie!' at the same time. "You're a Cupid, Miss Kamdev. It's in your name. Now. Shall we begin?"

~~~

Prompt #67: "What? Why are you looking at me as if I grew horns?"
With a twist on Prompt #4: "You're a weapon, and weapons don't weep."--> to "You're a God, and Gods don't weep."
