Almost

> T W E N T Y - F O U R <

Averys POV

Lying down on my bed, I look up at the plain ceiling of room hugging my pillow.

I felt like a weight that, even though I knew it was there, had been lifted off my shoulders slightly.

Talking to Will was, as much as I hated to admit, felt good. Not having to keep things to myself but being able to have at least one person knowing how I really felt.

I was very reluctant but Will serves to be as much as a good listener as he is a chef.

I told him everything, I told him about why I was here, about all the arguments I had with Eli and Damon since he left, about what happened a few days ago with Sheila and how his brothers were basically stalking me which lead to me telling him about how I knew Camryn.

He swore to keep everything said between us and I was grateful for that, especially since I cried. Yes I know I cried, but I was so grateful I almost smiled. Almost.

My preoccupied mind was pulled back to reality when my phone started ringing. I reach over to my bedside table, grabbing my phone. Looking at the screen I saw that it was a facetime call from the girls and I answer.

"Avery!" Veronica squeals as soon as my face come into view.

I wave at the camera. "Hey."

"I feel like we haven't talked in ages." Faith butts in.

Elena makes a face. "We were literally together all day today at school a couple of hours ago."

I nod my head almost smiling. Almost.

Faith rolls her eyes. "Whatever. But anyways..."
~~~~~~

"Ugh another boring day of school." Elena grumbles as we walk to our lockers.

Veronica and Faith groan. "I'm already struggling with the thoughts of the end of year exams."

Although I didn't show it, I felt the exact same. Exams were in the next two months and all the teachers talked about was studying. Even though it was almost two months away!

"See you guys at lunch?" Faith asks when the first bell for class rings.

We nod our heads and part ways. Sadly I didn't have my first or second class with them at all, so I was gonna be lonely. Of course I knew other people in my classes that they weren't in but it didn't feel the same.

Carrying my books in my arms I walk towards my class when all of a sudden smacks into me, causing all my books to fall to the ground.

I look up with a glare, ready to curse the person out when I see Camryn. Of course it had to be Camryn.

"Oh sorry, didn't see you there." Camryn apologises.

I roll my eyes and crouch down, picking up my books. Camryn crouches down too helping me to gather my books. I reach out to take the last book just as Camryn does the same.

My hand rests on top of his and I feel a weird sensation, like creepy crawlies, surge through my fingers. Looking up I meet his eyes.

It was like time was suspended for a few moments as we stare into each others eyes. I want to look away but for some reason my body doesn't cooperate with my brain and I don't.

When it seems as though its been forever a throat being cleared above us catches our attention, making us break eye contact. Camryn and I look up to see Eli and Damon scowling down at us with their arms crossed.

I snatch my hand away, take my time standing up and taking my books from Camryn with an eyeroll.

"What's going on here?" Eli asks.

"Nothing, alright. Chill." Camryn says with a smirk on his face patting Damon on the shoulder.

"Don't touch me." He glares at Camryn throwing his hand off his shoulder and he scoffs in amusement.

The last bell for the start of class rings and I'm gone before either of them can say anything to piss me off. I feel the eyes of someone staring after me as I walk but ignore it, getting to class.
~~~~~

Classes were finally done after endless hours of taking down notes. I had gotten a cramp in my hand atleast ten times today and I was not looking forward to anymore.

I walk towards my locker wanting to get rid of all the books I didn't need for tonight. I was planning to attempt studying tonight. Key word, attempt.

Usually I wouldn't care about grades but I was trying to atleast get somewhere in life even if it wasn't much.

"Boo!" A voice says from behind me.

I turn around unamused facing Camryn. "Ahh so scared."

What happened this morning with the odd staring and hand touching had irked me and I was still feeling.... Irked. I still felt jittery and I didn't like that.

He makes a face at my sarcastic comment. "That's not nice."

"When am I ever." I says and he shrugs at my point.

"Anyways could I have your number?" He asks.

Why would he need my number? We had nothing to talk about, well we did, but that needs to be done in person.

I size him up while he shuffles around hopelessly and I give in, handing him my phone. He takes it, typing in his number.

"Seriously. 'Averys favourite person in the world'. How unoriginal can you get?" I say. Even a child could come up with something better.

He shrugs his shoulders with a smirk and I wonder if he was mentally OK in his head. I swear Juvie has messed him up beyond repair. I mean, bloody hell! He smirks way too much, I wouldn't be surprised if he did it in his sleep too.

"Gavins!" someone yells and we both turn around to see all four Daly brothers charging towards us.

Everyone moves to the sides allowing space for them to run through.

"OK I've gotta go, catch you later! Also call me!" He says with a grin backing away from me and racing out of the school building.

I watch as they race past me chasing after Camryn. Whatever the hell has he done for them to despise him so much.

"Well that's not my problem." I say to myself shrugging my shoulders and continuing what I needed to do.
