Terrified of Love

Chapter 2

It's been six weeks since I ad my appendix taken out and I've been itching to go for a run. I walk into the kitchen where mom and Sam are, "The doctor said to wait six weeks, it's ben six weeks" I say

"It's been five weeks, five days. I bet you're still sore. Let me see your scar" She says

She tries to lift my shirt but I smack her hand away, "Hey! My body, bad touch. Now give me my shows. Where'd you put them?" I ask annoyed

I start searching through the cabinets, "Sam. This is everything you need for your appointment today. Sure you don't want me to go with you?" Mom asks Sam

"No, thanks" He says

"Why not?" She asks

"Because he's a grown ass man" I say
"For once she's right, cause I'm a grown ass man" He says

"Cam, why are your sneakers in my t-shirt drawer?" Dad asks walking in

"Yes" I say happy

"I was hiding them" Mom says as I walk out

I'm at my locker with Izzie, "So, junior year, you ready?" She asks

As I open my locker, Nate walks up to his locker and I roll my eyes. Izzie and I stand there awkwardly before he shuts his locker and walks away. I look at Izzie, "You mean ten months of that awkwardness? Can't wait" I say sarcastically

"He's harmless" She tells me before we walk to class

A little while later, "It kinda sucks that you just had surgery. It's not gonna be as fun kicking your ass at practice" She tells me

"I'll have you know, I went on my first run, and I'm as fast as ever" I say
"Did it hurt?" She asks

"Like a bitch" I tell her causing her to laugh

As I shut my locker, we turn to see Nate making his way towards us, "Hey, I brought you guys milkshakes. I don't want it to be weird with us for the next two years, so...peace offering" He says

"Thanks. My stomach's still a little wonky from the appendectomy, but..." I tell him

"I'll take it" He hands one to her, "Hers, too" He hands her another one, "Thank you. Bye" She says walking away

He stares at her ass as she walks away and that angers me but I remain calm, "Hey, it doesn't completely make up for what you did, but I appreciate the apology" I tell him

"That wasn't for you, that was for Izzie, but you guys are joined at the hip so just to be clear, you're still a bitch" He says

"Excuse me" I say

"Sorry" He says

As he walks by me, "Hey, Nate" He turns around and I hit the bottom of the milkshake making it go all over him, "Oops" As I go to walk away, "Oh also, her eyes are up here, don't stare at her ass like that again" I tell him before walking away smirking

But that didn't last long before my coach calls me into her office, "You punched his milkshake? How do you punch a milkshake? It's liquid" She asks
"I didn't punch it. I bopped it. It's more gentle than a punch" I tell her

"On accident?" She asks

"No, on purpose. Have you met this kid?" I ask her

"Cameron" She says

"Crowley" I say
"You have tremendous potential. You're smart, you're tough, you work hard and you seem completely happy to throw it all away" She says
