Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Padgett's POV.

That voice is no other person than that stupid bitter Cassie's voice, I know she is still mad at me but I don't see the reason she is mad because I am not Cameron's girlfriend.

Aren't you supposed to be in class or something… I said as she gasped in shock surprised at my outburst, I know she wants to bully me but I am not giving her that satisfaction.

I really don’t blame her usually I would keep quiet and let her molest me and rain curses on me all because of Cameron, for just four days, I have had it up to my neck but not this time, they are not dating anymore, even if I pick a fight with her no one will ever say I did it because I am jealous

Wow you’ve grown balls I see, it's a good thing Cameron had learn the kind of person you are, no wonder he left you

That’s funny you know because if I remember clearly, he left you not quite long ago, he get tired of you pretty fast, I am surprised you can still show your face at school you know, after what happened this morning am surprised you can still show your face at all… She said smirking at me.

What happened this... I asked but then decided to stop myself but it's too late

Oh too bad, you were missing in action since Cameron was too busy with his new girlfriend I guess

What is that supposed to me?

You should have seen the way they were all over each other at school. This morning personally I think he’s in love with her... you know… She said grinning

Oh that’s good, I know about it and I’m happy for him… I said trying to sound convincing

You are happy? How come I don't see it that way? Barely four days, I could see that, you are in love with him. I really don’t get the reason you hide your feelings from him. Oops! My bad, it's because you know that he will never love an ugly duckling like you right? Like I said; you might have broken us up but fact remains he’ll always love you as a best friend, get that into your brain, you’re just a friend so stop hoping for something that isn't meant to be because you and Cameron are never meant to be bye now, have fun or probably wet your pillow with your tears.. She said walking away swaying her hips as she left me more devastated then before while I walked into the rest room.

Calm down Padgett, you don’t care, you really don’t care about her stupid words, her words won’t affect you…I muttered to myself splashing some water on my face after taking off my glasses, I look at myself in the mirror. You will be fine, you are fine with his decision. I throw more water at my face before exiting the rest room as the bell was rung signifying lunch break

Hey girlfriend… I heard Newton voice behind me

Oh hi Newton…I said giving him a fake smile.

What happened to you? I was worried when you didn't take my calls nor show up in school yesterday, did anything happen? I thought you were planning of changing school because you felt, I am a bully

You are very funny, I was just under the weather, nothing much, I really don't have the strength to come to school and I was kinda late after running errands for my mom but anyways, I really enjoyed the previous two nights with you.

If you do then you should accompany me to saturday night party...

What? I look at him, I can't say yes, I have already turned down Cameron, about that party, I can't possibly go there without him.

I knew it, you were just playing with me, you are really going to...

Fine, I will.

Seriously? I nodded at him. Yes, not to worry, I am going to make it more fun, it’s going to be like a date and the party, I will love to dance with you, I’ll love it if you saved me a dance too… He said with a pleading eyes

I’ll love to Newton…. I said grinning back at him like he was hypothesizing me.

Alright then; I’ll leave you to it but please come watch the basketball game, it's always fun for the girls to watch, I’ll see you later then, um! guess what...

It’s a date… I said smiling once more as he left me still smiling, watching him smiling so sweet as he riffled his hair,

“You’re going on a date with him… I heard a cold voice behind me as I slowly turned to meet an angry Cameron, the smile on my face totally removed replaced with a scorn

I folded my hands facing him as he stared at me angry for some reason only him know, looking like he was about to murder someone or something

Answer the damn question, you’re going on a date with that arrogant fool… He said pointing in the direction of Newton

Come on, he has a name it’s Newton, you should stop calling him names, fine yes, I am going on a date with him it’s our deal remember and you have no right whatsoever to speak to me in fact you should be happy I’m. Giving another guy a chance and not to mention I’m extremely mad at you for disappearing this morning and for not checking on me through the previous day, if there is anyone who has the right to be mad it’s me and only me not you.

Hey love… Cathy voice came from behind, she pecking his cheeks as she hugged him from behind grinning, for the first time, I didn't look away, I watch her.

Finally I get to meet the one person, my baby can't stop talking about in flesh and blood... I’m cathy….She said stretching her hands towards me

Hi, I am…..I said forcing a small smile but she interrupt me

Padgett! he literally talks about you all the time…She added smiling

Really?

Yeah and about this morning, I am really sorry for taking him away like that my driver had an emergency, I had no one else to call so..

It’s perfect, you don’t have to explain anything at all to me, he is yours he is your boyfriend isn't he? So you should come first…..I said emotionless

You can join us in the car tomorrow if you like..she said as my eyes went wide

What did you just say?

What I meant is, Cameron has offered to drop me off at school every day and I know he drops you off too, so it would be a really great time for the three of us to bond and all that, don’t you think so?

Yeah I guess so… I said feeling a bit down as the 30 minutes car ride was our time to talk freely and laugh it was the only time I could admire him properly and now that was gone since they would be all lovey dovey on each other and I’ll just be the unwanted third wheel. But the truth is, I have someone else that could drive me to school, I wasn't supposed to say it this way but I am sorry Cameron, I will not be joining you every morning. I finally said

Who? Who will be dropping you?
