Camouflage is a game we all like to play, but our secrets are as surely revealed by what we want to seem to be as by what we want to conceal. ~Russell Lynes
Chapter three. Confessions, Mysteries and Secrets
Marilyn sat in the empty living room. Her parents were out and her brother was out for soccer practice. So, she had the t.v remote to herself on a very lazy Saturday afternoon.
Marilyn's phone rang and she answered the call without looking at the caller I.d
"Hello," Marilyn sang
"Someone's happy, " Cameron chuckled from the other end.
"It's a Sunday. I have every right to." Marilyn said.
"So what you up to?" Cameron said, trying to make conversation.
"Absolutely nothing! Oh, I love Sundays!" Marilyn sang.
"Good, now come over!" Cameron said.
"Didn't we see each other yesterday?" Marilyn asked
"That was ages ago!" Cameron whined into the phone. Marilyn laughed a little.
"I'm busy." She said, twirling her hair around her finger.
"No, you're not. It's Sunday. Now get your butt here otherwise I'm never doing your homework again!" Cameron said
"You never do my homework!" Marilyn yelled into the phone.
"Well, you never asked. Now get here, bye." Cameron hung up. Marilyn stared at her phone incredulously for a few seconds. She sighed, deciding to get ready. Marilyn's phone buzzed in her hand.
Tyler - Thinking about me? ;)
I've got better things to do - Marilyn
Tyler- So you were thinking about me :p
How do you just assume things? - Marilyn
Tyler - I'm always right but it's mostly due to my awesomeness, actually.
Get over yourself - Marilyn
Tyler - Only if you get over me first :p Enough about me, what are you doin?
I'm busy - Marilyn
Tyler - ooh, date?
Omg! You do know everything! - Marilyn
Tyler - Told ya ;) So, who's the guy?
Wouldn't you like to know :p - Marilyn
Tyler - hey, I'm just curious what type of guy you fakes go for.
Marilyn grit her teeth before replying. She knew it wasn't a date with Cameron but a little white lie wouldn't hurt anyone right?
I'm not telling you - Marilyn
Tyler - Why not? Scared, he'll turn gay after he sees me? :p
Okay, wow. You really think highly of yourself and second, you bashed up my car! - Marilyn
Tyler - I think I deserve to think highly of myself in front of fake people like you. I thought I said I'd pay for your car! Jeez!
Well, you've betrayed me - Marilyn.
Tyler - how? O.o
You tricked me and got my number! - Marilyn
Tyler - If you weren't so stupid it would have never gone this far
Marilyn threw her phone on her bed. She was angry, no fuming! He barely knew her yet he called stupid and fake. The moron!
Marilyn decided to wear faded, cut off denim shorts and a pink tank top. She ran a brush through her hair and put on her shoes as she jumped down the stairs at the same time. Cameron didn't live too far so Marilyn decided to walk. She looked at her phone and there was one text message from Cameron asking where she was and several from Tyler.
