*This story isn't going to have a lot of real Degrassi events and the characters are not completely the same. But all credit goes to Degrassi!!*
Maya's POV:
Did Campbell Saunders just ask me to hangout with him? But I'm in 9th grade, and how would his hockey team approve of that? The whole team already hated me enough.Tori, Tristan, and also Zig were teasing me all through out lunch. I was meeting Cam at the park right around the corner to do French homework. But I decided to run home first before I headed over there. I walked into the house and slammed the door behind me. I heard loud yelling coming from upstairs. Katie was fighting with our parents again. She has been doing this all the time lately. I walked upstairs.
"Katie. Why can't you just shut up?" I mumbled under my breath. I loved my sister, and I knew she has problems. But she does this all the time. She always gets the attention. Katie understood my mumbling and started to get angry.
"Why don't you stay out of this Maya?" She bitched at me.
"You get all the attention! Stop complaing!" I screamed back at her.
My parents tried to get both of us to calm down, but we kept screaming.
"You're the one that is complaing! Stay out of my life!" She yelled in an angry tone.
"I'm done dealing with you! You get all the attention. You're such a bitch! I'm leaving." I ran downstairs and out the door.
I started running down the street, I had tears streaming down my face. I had to meet Cam in 5 minutes. How could I let him see me like this? I didn't care. I finally made it to the park and sat at a bench. I pulled my knees to my chest, and cried. "Maya?" I hear someone say. I look up to see Cam staring back at me.
Campbell's POV:
Why was she crying? Should I even ask? I sat down on the bench next to her. She once again put her knees to her her chest, and began to cry again. "Maya, What's wrong?" I said concerned. She told me about what happened, she told me everything, the problems with Katie, her parents, and how she felt. I pulled Maya in for a hug. I wrapped my arms around her waist, as she cried into my shoulder. She hugged me back tightly. I felt butterflies fill my stomach, and I was smiling in the inside. I didn't want this hug to end. She smelled like some type of flower, and she was warm as ever. I could feel her heart beating. It felt like this hug was lasting forever, but I didn't care.
Maya's POV:
I'm sitting on a bench, crying, and hugging Campbell Saunders. What am I doing?! I could feel butterflies in my stomach. No no no. I can't fall for him. It would never work out. I'm just some band geek in 9th grade. He's a 10th grader and a star hockey player. Only that kind of stuff happens in the movies. But I had hope. I mean he was sitting here hugging me, wasn't he? So this has to mean something. No snap out of it Maya. I started to mentally agrue with myself. As soon as I calmed down we pulled away from our hug. "Maybe we should just do French homework later." He spoke in a soft tone. "That's probably a good idea." I replied. "Come on, let's go to the dot." He smiled.
We walked to the dot in silence, but it wasn't an awkward silence. It was a comfortable one. We arrived at the dot, after about 10 minutes. We walked in a took a seat. "What would you like to drink?" He smiled. "Cream Soda please." I blushed. Ugh, what happend to focus on school and not boys?! Do I even like Cam?! I barley know him still. Was this a .. date? Our drinks arrived, and we sat in the quietness for a second but then I finally spoke up.
"Do you miss it back home? I mean since a lot of the hockey players moved away from home to come here." I asked. I sound really stupid don't I? Why am I so nervous around him!?
"Yeah, I miss my family. It's been rough here." He gave me a sad half smile.
"The hockey players are like your brothers though right?" I said.
"Uh...yeah sorta.." He looked sad.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"It's just..the hockey team doesn't treat me very well." He said with a sad tone. "They constantly make fun of me, and push me around." He sighed and looked down at the table. I could feel my heartbreaking. Cam shouldn't be treated like that. His eyes started to water.
"I also have some anxiety problems... and uh.. other stuff." He spoke in a sad tone.
"Cam..I'm s-so sorry.." My eyes began to water but I wiped away my tears. As I began to reach to the middle of the table to grab Cam a napkin to wipe his tears. He went in too. Our hands touched softly and we looked up at each other. Our faces were inches a part and before I knew it our lips touch, and the kiss began.
Campbell's POV:
Woah is all I could think. I closed my eyes, and kept kissing her. I know, I didn't know Maya that well. But, I could feel a spark. The best part was, she was kissing me back. She put her hand on my cheek. I opened my eyes for a second and hers were still closed. I finally decided to pull away.
"W-woah..." I could barely get my words out. Maya stared at me with shock. Her face was as red as a tomato. I bit my lip down hard, So I could keep myself from smiling because...wow that was a good kiss. I could feel my face burn. Maya grabbed her bag. "I .. I'm sorry.." She said. She started after the door. "Maya wait!" I yelled after her. But she was already out the door of The Dot. Damn, that was French homework alright. I stared out The Dot window and thought about Maya.
