""Aye! Jordan!" It was after school and I was at my locker when one of my good friends, Noah Fitzgerald, came up from behind to clap me on the back in greeting. Unlike most girls, I didn't stumble under his immense strength. The guy was built like a NFL linebacker and played like one as well, but he was still one of the nicest guys I knew. "Waddup, man?"
"I'm a girl, you know!" I snapped, instantly wanting to take it back.
Noah looked startled and took a step away from me. I didn't like the look he was giving me-one that said he thought I was crazy."Uh...I know?"

Haha, I wrote. Funny.
My phone rang after a minute. "'Lo?" I answered.
"Meet me on the quad in five minutes." Cam didn't waste any time with hellos. Before I could even think about a reply, he hung up.
I sighed.
"What do you want?" I asked, annoyed, approaching Cameron leaning back on a bench."I have somewhere to be, you know."
"Yeah? Where?"
"Just...places."
"Right." Cameron patted the seat next to him. "Sit."
"No."
"Jordy, come on."
