Chapter Three
Since the night Kameron slept over, I’ve been in bed sick. The doctor said it’s just a stomach virus, so I’ve been back and forth from the toilet and bed. The whole time I have been sick, all I have been able to think about is Kameron. He has been on my mind nonstop and I just can’t wait to see him after this four day period away from him. Yes, I know you’re saying we only watched TV, so why am I acting like a crazy girl over some nigga but the thing is we didn’t just watch TV, he kissed me for the first time. That one kiss took me to a place where we could be together. Tomorrow I am supposed to go back to school and the first thing I’m going to do is find Kameron so we can talk.
“Ariel get yo butt up and get dressed before you late! I do not feel like dealing with that principal at that damn school again, last time I went up there he kept looking at my damn ass!” With that I rolled out of my once comfortable bed that had now become a burden and went into the bathroom to do my hygiene thing. Once I was done, I walked to my closest to pick out my clothes. I decided to wear something simple, my ripped jeans, V-neck tee, and light blue vans Dee bought me. I let my hair hang down straight and put on some lipstick. After all that was done I grabbed my bag and phone and headed out the door.
Once I got to school, I hopped out of Dee’s car and headed inside to find Kameron without saying good bye to Dee. Soon as I was inside I was attacked by my best friend Kelsey. She has been my friend since we started high school, at first I couldn’t stand her but when I saw her getting bullied by another girl I hated that’s when I knew she was cool. It’s stupid I know but the girl that was bullying her is my enemy for life, if she even dares to say something to me I will punch her in the face. Anyway, after she hugged me she started walking with me to my locker which means she has something to tell me. “So what do you have to tell me Kelsey because if you didn’t you would have your tongue down Nick’s mouth right about now.”
“Okay so you know your boy toy you can’ stop daydreaming about?”
“You mean Kameron.”
“Yea, duhh.”
“What about him,” I asked opening my locker to reveal homework that I have missed while I was gone. Only one person knows my combination and he also knows I don’t like to receive homework when I’m sick. “Well, I heard that him and Lauren were caught having sex in the janitor closet. And of course he got off because of who he is and what he do.”
“O, well, I mean everyone already knew they were sleeping together,” is what I said trying to hide my disappointment and heart break. Here I am planning our future and he just worried about who to fuck next. The bell rung for first period and we both went our separate ways.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
So it’s been a month since I have talked to Kameron; the whole month I have been avoiding him at every corner. Whenever I see him I go the other way and when we are in the same class I never look at him even when he sits directly beside me. He hurt me and ked me on to believe he actually cared about me.
Right now I was in my room doing my overdue homework when my phone rung telling me Kelsey was calling. “Yes Kelsey. How can I help you at ten o clock at night?”
K: Hey girl Nick invited me to this party Kameron throwing, will you come with me.
Me: Hell no I won’t come!
K: Why, you can drool at Kameron the whole time. Pleaseee
Me: I don’t give a damn about Kameron and why in the hell would go to that party with you
K: Since when don’t care about Kameron
Me: Don’t worry about it
K: Look just come and have fun. I will buy your outfit if you do.
Me: Fine, can’t turn down free clothes
K: Yayy! I will pick you up one to go shopping.
“Wake up sleepy head,” is what I heard as I felt someone bouncing up and down on my bed. “Get up! Get up! We are supposed to be going shopping and it’s already 12:30,” Kelsey screamed in my ear as she continued to bounce up and down like a maniac. “If you don’t get off my bed acting like a big as kid. Damn how old are you,” I said pushing her off of my bed. I got of bed and walked to the bathroom to do my usual hygiene thing. “Where are we going anyway,” I asked walking out the bathroom in only a towel. “Where else, the mall duhh, don’t act stupid. We will shop all day if we have to just so we can find the perfect outfit for tonight.”
“And what if I don’t want to go to this party with you and Nick just so I can be the third wheel? When we get to the party you will ditch me to tongue down Nick and forget I even exist, so why go to a party to be ignored when I get that at home.”
“Look I promise I won’t leave you. Just come with me and I promise you will have fun.”
“Why is it so important to you that I come with you tonight? Not once have you ever asked me to come with you to a party and if you did you never begged this much for me to come, so what’s up,” I asked sitting down on the bed next to her. “Me and Nick got into this fight about him continuously cheating on me. One way or another I blamed his cheating on him hanging out with Kameron. I told him he needed to get out of the game or I was leaving for good this time.”
“Okay so why exactly are we going to this party if you two broke up?”
“Because we didn’t break up yet, I want to go and see if he is really cheating on me or am I just being a bitch and running away a good man who wants to take care of me.”
“And where do I fit in all of this? Basically I am the tag along that seems to have no life, so you just decide to bring me along for the fun,” I said getting up and walking to my closet. “It’s not like that, you are my best friend and I need you there to support me. Just like when I supported you when the whole thing with your uncle blew up.”
“Fine I will go, but that means you are buying me the most expensive outfit money can buy,” I said picking out a blue strapless dress with wedge sandals. “No problem I have my mom’s credit card so you can have whatever you want.”
Kameron POV
So a lot has changed in the past month, I have officially become the kingpin and to top it off I started back dating Lauren again. Yea I know she’s a bitch and I’m supposed to be trying to get Ariel but after she came back from bed rest she completely shut me out of her life. Whenever I was around she would talk around me like I was not even there, after a while I gave up and settled for what I knew I could get. So yea I coward out of the challenge that is Ariel and went for the easy Lauren.
So right now I am in the mall with Lauren while she does everything she can to suck my black card dry, when I see Ariel in this blue dress that literally makes me regret giving up. The dress fitted so well that every inch hugged her body in the right way I almost dropped everything. “Baby, what are you looking at,” Lauren asked knocking me out of daze and back to reality. “Nothin, you done here cause I got places to be.”
“Yea but before we leave let me go check and then can we go get something eat.”
“Yea wateva, just hurry up,” I said looking back at Ariel to continue to take in her body. I missed her and would pick her any day over Lauren but she just won’t talk to me. I was so busy staring at her ass I didn’t see when she noticed me. Next thing I knew she was walking up to me like I was the worst person to ever walk this earth. “Can I help you,” I asked trying to make sure Lauren wasn’t around to ruin the moment. “You can stop looking at my ass, that’s all.”
“O my bad, I will try to stop,” I said with a smirk on my face. “Thanks,” is all she said before turning around to walk away but I couldn’t let her walk away not when she just started talking to me again. “Wait,” I said grabbing her arm to stop her. “Get off of me Kameron. What do you want?”
“Can we just talk, I mean you’ve been avoiding me for a month now. Every time I ask your brother how you doin he brush me off and tell me not to worry about it.”
“Okay and why do I care. Plus there’s nothing for us to talk about. I gotta go Kelsey is waiting for me, we are supposed to be shopping for tonight’s party.”
“Wait, you’re going to the party tonight?”
“Yea, is that okay with you or do I need your permission,” she asked crossing her hands. “Yea that’s cool. I will see you there since it’s my party,” I said noticing Lauren finna head my way and I guess she noticed too because thing I know she was no longer in front of me. Damn I miss her.
