Opposite's Attract

Chapter 2

[Home]

As soon as I walk in the door, I am met with my mother, "Ellie, how was—what happened to your face?" She asks concerned

"It's nothing, an accident in gym class" I lie, hoping she'd let it go

"Eleanor Marie Bishop" She's not letting it go, "Tell me the truth, right now" She says sternly

I sigh, "Nate Jacobs" I whisper

She walks closer to me and grabs my face, "He did this to you?" I nod my head before she goes to walk away, "I'm gonna call the school, this needs to be stopped" She says

"Mom—Mom, it's okay, Cam took care of it" I tell her

She turns back towards me, "Cam?" She asks

I nod my head, "Yeah she stopped him, so it's fine" I tell her

"I wonder why she stepped in? Huh?" My mom asks, smirking slightly

"Mom, it's not like that" I tell her before I turn around

"We'll see!" She calls out as I make it to my room

I throw my bag down on my floor before I look at myself in the mirror. I have a decent gash right above my eyebrow and a black eye forming. I sigh before I collapse on my bed and think about what happened. I mean Cam's my friend, sure, but she's closer with Lucas, they're best friends. I never expected her to defend me like that, it was sweet. And I'm not gonna lie, seeing her all protective and slamming Nate into the lockers was extremely hot, I mean extremely.

I shake off my thoughts and start getting some homework done before the football game. After a bit, I start getting ready for the game. I head to my closet and pull out my red and black sweatshirt for our school colors and some black ripped jeans. As I'm getting dressed, I feel eyes burning into my skull. I look out the window to see Camren looking at me through hers. I blush slightly as I see her staring at my body, smirking. Her eyes meet mine before she smiles and waves which I return. We stare at each other for a few more seconds before I feel my phone buzz. I look down and it's a text from Camren.

Camz:

See you at the game El ;)

I smile at the nickname before I text her back.

Me:

See you there Camz :)

[Football Game]

I'm sitting with my parents as we watch my brother lead the football team to victory. It's the third quarter and we're winning 21-7. It's not that I don't like watching the games but it's just not my thing, but I'll always support my twin.

My thoughts are interrupted when someone sits down next to me. I look over to see Camren smiling, "Hey El" She says beaming

I smile back, "Hey Camz" I say

"Your brother's kicking ass" She says

I nod my head, "Yeah, like always" I say

She looks at me, "How's the head?" She asks, studying my face

"All good, thanks for, uh, defending me to Nate" I say

"Of course, El" She places her hand on my thigh and I tense slightly, "I'll always protect you" She says smiling

I feel the heat rise to my cheeks, "Th—Thanks" I stutter

She smirks slightly at my reaction and keeps her hand on my thigh. My parents are oblivious as they are focused on the game as I'm trying not to freak out. I mean my crush since freshman year has her hand on my thigh.

As the fourth quarter begins, she starts to trace small circles with her thumb. I take a shaky breath as she continues, feeling the smirk that's plastered on her face. She knows she's getting a reaction out of me and I think she likes it. Or maybe she does this with everyone?

I snap out of my thoughts when my phone buzzes. I quickly pick it up and see a text from Tabby.

Tabs:

Does THE Cameron Jones have her hand on your thigh?!?!?!?!

I quickly hide my phone and look around to see Tabby a few bleachers down from us before I quickly text back.

Me:

Yes!!!! I'm freaking the fuck out over here, Tabs!!!

A few seconds later, she texts me back.

Tabs:

Make a move!!

Me:

What?! Are you serious?! My parents are right in front of us!!! Plus, I doubt she actually likes me

Tabs:

She's flirting with you, dumbass. Make a fucking move on her!

I glare at Tabby after I read the message as she laughs. Before I can respond, "Who you texting, El?" Camren asks

I place my phone down, "Just my friend Tabby, nothing important" I lie

She nods her head before she leans into my ear, my heart racing, "I know when you're lying, Princess" She whispers

She pulls back smirking as the game ends, 35-10 and everyone cheers. My parents finally turn around, "Oh hey, Camren" Mom says

"Hi, Mrs. Bishop" Camren says, so respectful

"Honey please, you're like family, call me Sasha" Camren nods her head, "Are you busy after this sweetie?" She asks

Camren shakes her head, "Nope, I was gonna head home and relax" She says

My mom looks at me and I know that face, she's got an idea and I'm not gonna like it, "Why don't you come over for dinner?" I don't like it, "I'm sure Lucas would love to hang out and so would Ellie, right?" Mom asks looking at me

I nod my head, "Ye—Yeah" I stutter

I see Camren smirk, "I'd love to" She says

My mom smiles, "Great" She says
