CHAPTER FIVE

"But I did answer one of them."

"I don't need a smartass right now, Newt." She sneered and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Fine. I was going to the bathroom and I noticed Theseus leave your room and I wanted to investigate." He shrugs, biting his tongue.

"Why are you really here, Newt? You never are anyway." Camaria mumbled the last part as her brown eyes searched his freckled face for an answer.

"Are you and Theseus a... a, uh, a thing?" Newt takes a step closer to her.

"No, we are strictly platonic." Camaria scoffed, anger fueling through her body at his question.

"Then why are you two always together? Huh? I always, always see you two together. Always." Newt squinted his green eyes at his friend, obviously not convinced by her answer.

Camaria felt her blood boil and threw her arms up in the air out of frustration. "Because you were never there!"

"I am always here-"

Camaria made a noise out of frustration and felt an eruption of anger spill throughout her body. "Bull! You don't write to me, you don't talk to me unless it's about Leta and you don't even read to me anymore." She pointed a finger at him as her voiced cracked towards the end. She felt tears in her brown eyes as another string at her heart was ripped out.

"You're nose is always in a book. You're always in your own world and I don't want to disturb you. And when you aren't here I don't get a single letter until the last week of the month, if I'm lucky. And when we do talk it's always about how amazing Leta is, or Leta this, or Leta that. But you know what Newt? I'm tired of it! I miss spending time with you, but you seem fine without me, with Leta. We haven't had a proper conversation in like a year and you have the nerve to come in my room and assume I like your brother? Well guess what? I don't! Because he's gay! And to think this was going to be the type of conversation we would have when we began to talk again. I'm truly disappointed, Newt. Now just go to Leta, since you're perfectly and utterly fine without me in y-your life." Camaria took a deep breath after her long rant and allowed her eyes to bore into Newt's.

He was eerily quiet. Not a single word was said, but his face showed his reaction. Newt's lips were parted, as if he was trying to find the right words. And his green eyes showed sorrow and regret. Not to mention he was embarrassed. Most of the things she said was true.

He neglected his best friend because of a girl. He allowed a girl to get in the way of his friendship and now he didn't know what to do because the damage was already done. Newt closed his mouth and closed his eyes for a moment.

He turned around on his heels and opened his eyes once again to see the door right in front of him. He could hear Camaria sniffling behind him, but his feet lead him to the door and into the hallway where he sighed loudly. He truly screwed up.

Camaria watched as Newt walked out of her room. She squeezed her brown eyes shut and tried to take deep breathes. She ended up on her bed, curled in a ball as tears streamed down her cheeks as she wiped them away angrily with the sleeves of her sweater.

It wasn't even her sweater. It was Newt's. She slipped the sweater off of body and threw it across the room in a small fit of rage.

Camaria laid down and looked up at the ceiling, a soft sigh coming out of her lips. Her hands rubbed her face as she groaned quietly. She absolutely did not want the next day to come around.

So apparently you guys like this story?¿

i feel like i need to address something in 'unexpected.' in chapter five, there is a scene where camaria and newt are having a fight. and in that scene camaria reveals her feelings about everything that has happened. and as she does that, she also reveals that theseus is gay. in now way was she outing him. for how i see theseus, he was open about his sexuality to his family. and since newt was too busy with his creatures and leta, he forgot about his older brother's coming out.

so no, camaria didn't out theseus. she just reminded newt.

Another question because these are a fun way to get to know you guys: if you were to be the son/daughter/whatever of a God or Goddess, who would they be?

Mine would deadass either by Hades or Artemis
