*A couple of weeks Later*

Cameron POV
I sat in the school library trying to study and do my homework. Though, I couldn't seem to focus on my school work. I started to get extremely frustrated.
I run my hand through my hair and sigh."Need some help with that?" Someone asked. I glanced over my shoulder to see Calvin. I haven't seen him ever since I kicked him out of my house. I shrugged and glanced back at my books. Calvin sat on the chair next to mine.
"I haven't seen you in a while," I said. He nodded. "Yeah. You told me to stay away so I did." He said. I chuckled slightly. "You finally listened to me," I mumbled. He nodded and sat next to me."So, how have you been?" I asked quietly. He glanced at me, smiling slightly, before looking away again."I've been good. I saw my grandmother again after a couple of months. She was with us for the holidays." He tells me.
"That's nice," I said. He nodded and glanced at me again. "What about you?" He asked. I shrugged. "Nothing special. The holidays were nice, I guess." I tell him.
"That's nice." He said. I nodded and tried to focus on my homework. There was an awkward silence after between us. I looked at my books and started to read the paragraphs. I noticed Calvin glancing at me. "Cam, if you want me to leave-" He started.
I shook my head.
"No," I said quickly. "I mean I- you were going to help me, right?" I said. He nodded and scooted closer to me.
"You don't understand this part?" He asked as he pointed out one paragraph. I nodded slowly. He smiled at me."Don't worry, it's not as difficult as it looks." He said. He took my pencil out of my hand. His fingers gently brushed over my knuckles.
I felt a weird tingle in my guts. I've felt that tingle before.
With Brenna. I glanced at Calvin as he wrote something on a piece of paper. He glanced up, making me look away. He tapped my shoulder with my pencil. "Cam?" He said. I glanced back at him. "Yeah," I said and looked down at the paper. "Is something wrong?" He asked me.
"Yeah, I still don't understand this." I joked. He had a rather serious expression on his face. "What's up?" He asked me. "Nothing," I tell him.
"Then why were you looking at me like that?" He asked me. I raised my eyebrow. "Like what?" I asked him.
He put my pencil on the table. "Like a lost puppy." He tells me.
I know he isn't wrong. The truth is, I miss him. It was a mistake to cut him out like that. I realize that now."Are you still mad at us?" He asked me. I glanced down at the table. "It's alright, I understand." He said in a soft voice.
He stood up and slung his bag over his shoulder. "Calvin, wait," I said stopping him."I don't want you to go," I tell him. He smiled at me. "But you're still angry. I get it." He said. "I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at Brody. I shouldn't have been mad at you and cut you out as I have. I'm sorry." I tell him. He glanced down at his feet.
"I deserved it. I shouldn't have tried to protect Brody and you at the same time." He tells me. "You didn't deserve to be treated the way I did," I said. "You just needed some time to figure things out and make other friends." He said quietly.
"You and Blake seem to get along." He said. I nodded. "We do, but he's not you or Felix," I tell him. He glanced up at me and smiled a little.
"You know, there will always be a spot for you at our table." He said. I smiled.
"Thanks, now are you going to help me with my homework or not?" I asked him.
We walked back to the table and sat down. It was nice to have some time with the two of us.

Brody POV
I light up my cigarette. 'Ugh, I needed that!' I thought. "Hey, Brody." A female voice behind me said. I turned around and saw Emily."Hey, Em, haven't seen you in a while," I said. "Want a puff?" I asked her. She shook her head and holds up one of her hands.
"No thanks. How've you been?" She asked. I shrugged."Fine, I guess. How are you?" I asked her. "The same. Nothing ever happens here."
She answered. I chuckled. "Yeah, except for that one time all the dogs in the dog center broke out. That was fun!" I said.
Emily laughed."It was." She said.
I eyed her up and down. 'Damn.' I thought to myself. "Have you seen Calvin anywhere? I've been looking for him all day." She said.
I shook my head and put out my cigarette."Nope, haven't seen him," I tell her. She sighs. "We were supposed to go on a walk with my dog." She sighs. "I can come if you want to," I suggest. She glanced up at me. "Really?" She asked.
I nodded. "Yeah, why not? Calvin isn't here and I've got plenty of time." I tell her.She smiled and linked her arm with mine. "Alright, let's go!" She said.
