Chapter 8: Chapter 8

Padgett's Pov

I’m so dead right now cameron hardly gets mad at me but when he does he’s a force to reckon with, if there is one thing, I couldn't bear, is the fact that, he is mad at me, I felt my world crumbled when I heard those words from him.

Can't you talk, what do you have to say?

I am sorry, I really don't... I try taking his hand but he pulled away from my grib, my tears threatened to drop, I felt doom.

Um! hey Cam.. I said as he stared at me still furious tightening his fists.

Explain to me why you didn't tell me Cassie was assaulting you…he said as I gulped down my saliva then gather myself, I realized that my secret is still save.

Cassie!

Yes Cassie the bitch who dared to assault you...

Cam...I seethed.

What creamy, I’ve told you many times to tell me when someone is bullying you but no you prefer to keep it to yourself and get hurt in the process, I wouldn't know what to do just so you don’t get hurt and how will I protect you, if you don't tell me, what is going on, yet you still keep everything to yourself Huh! you know perfectly well I would have dumped her sorry ass since if you have told me but you had other plans right and besides its just notes and some public assault now what if it gets physical, what if Alex wasn't there, she might start hitting you all because of me and you expect me to be okay with it? why didn't you tell me we’re best friends creamy, we’re supposed to tell each other everything there are no secrets between us right so why keep this one? He said as I looked away, he held my cheeks, I move my eyes to his thump that is caressing my cheek.

You aren't hiding anything else right… He asked, still holding the note, I really don't know how he got the note, I have place that carefully in my bag and how sure, is he; that Cassie is the one, apart from her trying to hurt me, I really didn't attribute this note to her.

Yes Padgett tell him what else you are hiding… Newton said behind him.

Will you shut up? I yelled at Newton then turned to Cameron. You shouldn't believe anything, I am not hiding anything from you. I subconsciously held his face, making him stare in my eyes.

You’re hiding something aren't you? what is it Creamy because sooner or later I will find out and then it won’t be so funny so creamy spill now what are you hiding.

The fact that I’m hopelessly in love with you… I said to myself nearly screaming it to his face, then I drop my hand and lower my head.

Go on and tell him...

And you Newton, can you bounce? I am not talking to you. Cameron pushed him away, I watch as he move away from us. He turned his gaze back to me.

Nothing Cam! I’m not hiding anything for you so what if your flings pick on me so what if they abuse me? so what if they leave stupid notes about me? So what Cam? You don't expect me to just arrived here and create problem for you, you know you can’t always get whatever you want, right? it hurts like hell I know it hurts really badly, I know but guess what Cam, that’s life sometimes the things you love hurt you the most but you just have to deal with it because it’s life.”I said as I felt myself breaking down inwardly

Creamy! you know how much I care about you, you know that so please don’t hide anything from me please we’re best friend never forget that… He said

I can’t Cam, you mean too much to me and the reason I didn't tell you was because you were going to break up with her and from what I heard, you never stay with a girl for more than a week right? And I am sure all your flings are going to pick on me but it will become worse if you break up with them all because of me, so I saw no reason to even speak about it and remember it's bad to accused someone you have no evidence against.

Still Creamy, I deserved to know about it you should have just told me.

Telling you, is of no use, what difference would it make Cameron.”

Alot in fact I’ll show you just watch… He said pointing behind me as I saw Cassie walk in like she was in a beauty pageant or something in all like glory like she ruled over Royal high College, of cause she do, she is the prom queen for last year.

Now you sit here Creamy... he said pointing to the seat beside him where his girlfriend is supposed to sit, I look at him.

Trust me creamy sit… He said grinning as I took my sit

Hey baby.. Cassie said pecking his cheeks lightly as he pulled her away

What’s wrong baby and more importantly what’s she doing in my seat… she said glaring at me, I wanted to stand very fast from the seat, he grabbed my hand, causing me to stay put.

It’s not your seat anymore Cassie and more importantly am not your baby because we’re over… He said like it was nothing. I look at him, I never expected that he is going to jilt her just like this

Wait what… You can’t be serious Cameron, you said you loved me and I love you Cameron please you can’t do this

Come on Cassie, I say alot of things, and for the record, I can, if you you can call my best friend a whore. Cassie or whatever they call you, we’re over If you don’t get it I’ll spell it out for you. It's over, you are over used and your body is no longer appealing to me

Cameron, you can’t be serious am beautiful; I am sexy, that girl every guys would do anything to go on one date with me

The truth is, cassie you’re really ugly you’re dumb, every boy dream is always a lowlife, I could tolerate you but hurting my best friend, is a no go area. So Cassie, we are OVER and the next time you ever dare to hurt her again I’ll make sure you never live to tell the story you can go now I have to enjoy lunch with people who actually matter.

Cameron! She gasped for air

What Cassie, I’m a player what did you expect I’ll go on one knee and propose to you we’ll live in a mansion and live happily ever after or what Cassie? Wake up Cassie, wake up from that stupid delusion of yours, that nut happens in dreams not reality and even if you were the last lady on earth I would rather let the human race go onto extinction than marry you I think I’ll be doing them a favour that way… He finished smirking this time, my eyes didn't leave him.

Cameron! I swear you’ll come begging and when you do I won’t take you back I swear you’ll remember this day because I’ll make sure you pay for hurting me and you…. She said pointing towards me.

You might have broken us up just showing up here, in less than two days but no matter what Cameron would never be yours no matter how much you try, everyone here know you want him and how much you desire him he’ll never be yours he’ll never love you at least I got a chance to hug him caress him, spend the night in his bed, kissed him, have intimacy with him and love him but those only happen in your imagination because Cameron Adrian would only see you as just a friend and nothing more …she said before storming out of the cafeteria leaving me stunned with my heart torn into pieces once more as her words are true

One thing in me, keep scolding me, how did all of them find out that I love him, in barely forty-eight hours, is it that obvious, that they know. Still in my thoughts, when Cameron grabbed my hand up.
