Annabel POV
~Edited~
I ran upstairs to my room at the speed of light, partly just wanting to talk to Cameron desperately and partly because I wanted answers from him.
Hey ~C
3:40
Hey?? What do you mean hey?! ~A
3:40
I mean... uh... hi? ~C
3:40
You realize I've been freaking out all day right? ~A
3:40
Oh yeah, I heard. Aaron told me ~C
3:41
What? When did Aaron have any time to text you? ~A
3:41
Somewhere between you yelling about me not talking to you today and when you started wallowing in your sorrows watching Boy Meets World reruns, as per usual. ~C
3:42
Well, ha! Jokes on you, I never got to watch Boy Meets World reruns while crying! ~A
3:42
Oh yeah, you decided to listen to Melanie Martinez instead. ~C
3:43
Ugh I'm gonna kill Aaron ~A
3:43
No! Don't do that! He's like my little spy. ~C
3:43
What!? Why are you spying on me? ~A
3:44
Why are you so sad about this whole thing? ~C
3:44
Just because I turned you down doesn't mean I want you out of my life forever! Plus what was that whole thing with my locker today? ~A
3:44
Well, I'm sorry for not talking to you all day, but I won't be talking to you until Friday. I just wanted to explain everything first before you start making crazy conspiracy theories. ~C
3:45
You won't be— till Friday? What? Yes please, explain. ~A
3:46
Well, obviously you saw what I put in your locker... I'll be doing that every day until Friday. ~C
3:46
But that doesn't explain why you can't talk to me? ~A
3:46
You're right, it doesn't. I want you to take into account what I've done in the past. I want to persuade you with actions that we could work, not with my words. ~C
3:47
But... I'll miss you :( ~A
3:47
Of course I'll miss you too, but if we keep talking like normal I'll bring it up in almost every conversation and then you'd just be annoyed by me. ~C
3:48
Yeah... that would be kind of annoying... ~A
3:48
Do you really think we could work?... ~A
3:49
Absolutely. ~C
3:49
I don't know Cameron...with Tony and everything... ~A
3:50
That's the whole point of this babe ;) ~C
3:50
What's the whole point of this? ~A
3:50
To convince you... ~C
3:51
I don't know if you'll be able to do that Cam... ~A
3:51
Liar, he convinced you from the moment you saw what he put in your locker this morning
I... think I already have. Even if I haven't, by Friday it'll be set in stone. ~C
3:51
Highly unlikely bud, but I admire your confidence. ~A
3:52
Liar! It's very likely and you know it.
That won't be the case for very long ~C
3:52
What? What are you talking about ~A
3:52
Oh, I was just thinking about how you called me 'bud' and about how you won't be calling me that for much longer. ~C
3:53
Dude! How many times do I have to tell you that you aren't as hot as you think you are? ~A
3:53
Oh but Anna, it's not me who thinks I'm hot. ~C
3:54
? ~A
3:54
It's you ;) ~C
3:54
You wish ~A
3:54
You're such a liar! You know he doesn't have to wish so stop kidding yourself.
You know me too well ;) Bye Anna, talk to you Friday! ~C
3:55
Ugh! Bye Cameron ~A
3:55
Three strikes and you're out.
•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
Just as promised Cameron, kept putting things in my locker.
When I got to school on day number 2, Tuesday, there were already girls waiting at my locker. My guess is Alyssa told her friends what happened, who told... the entire female student body because it felt like they were all here.
The first thing I saw when I opened my door was a big sign that said...
*DAY 2: YOUR SMILE*
And littered all around were pictures, that I'm guessing he took, of me smiling. Some of them I remember and some of them I don't. Some of them are screenshots from previous face-times, some are from the day when we were at the police station. Hidden way in the back behind all my books was a little note.
~Remember all those memories from the notes yesterday? Well, these are just pictures of me capturing some of those moments and the many others that we've had together. Whenever I see your smile I genuinely feel like there's nothing else in this world as beautiful —except, of course, my face ;) All jokes aside, keep smiling gorgeous.~
That was yesterday, and I nearly burst from reading that letter. I'm in Aaron's car right now and I honestly just wanted to say screw it. I didn't want to go the whole week not talking to him, two days were already killing me. I wanted to go up to him and tell him that I love him and we can be together and we'll figure out how to deal with Tony together and-
Wait... did I just say I love him? I just thought that to myself right? Uhm... okay Anna don't panic. Do. Not. Panic.
I mean of course I love him... that doesn't mean I'm in love with him... right?
Yeah... it was just me overreacting. I'm not in love with him. I just like him a lot.
L i a r! Girl you're already out of the game, how are you still getting strikes!
Nope! This isn't happening! I do not love Cameron Black! I don't! Nope! Not happening.
Oh it's happening babes, you best believe it.
No, no, no, no, no! I DO NOT love Cameron that way!
Keep telling yourself that honey.
Love is a strong word, are we sure it's not just something else I mean-
It's love boo, deal with it.
I... I've never loved anyone before I don't know how to deal with this.
You're right, you haven't, but neither has he. Not real love anyways. You guys can figure it out together.
If he even loves me back.
Oh don't even kid yourself into thinking he doesn't love you back. Have you been present for the past two days?
A small smile appeared on my face and I took a deep breath before getting out of my brother's car and making my way to my locker, where more things were waiting for me.
From the guy I love.
Who may or may not love me back.
He totally does.
He might not but that's not the point.
I love Cameron Black.
Kinda has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
Yes, yes it does...
A/N
Hey Guys!
Did you like this chapter? Sorry, it was on the shorter side.
Do you think Cameron's little gestures are cute?
What do you think day 3 will hold? ;)
If you're wondering why there's like a conversation going on in Anna's head it's kind of like a clash between how I speak and how I imagine Tarah would be speaking to her if she was there. Just like her sub-conscience giving her the same advice Tarah would've given her, so if you want to imagine a voice to go along with the italics in Anna's head, just imagine Tarah's voice :)
If you liked please comment and vote :) It would mean the world to me. So far I see this book getting to anywhere between 35 and 40 chapters :)
Bye loves~
Syd.
