CAMILLA RENÉE
TUESDAY.
FACULTY OF SCIENCE.
"Are you okay?"
Jimmy hums by my side in the middle of class.
"Peachy."
I peep, twirling my pen between my fingers. I arrived a few minutes late and didn't have the luxury of selecting seats in the back, but there was one free beside Jimmy, which I gladly seized. Now it's just the both of us, then hundreds of other students around.
"Why? Do I look bad?"
"Not exactly. You've been fretting since you walked in. Either you hate being late or something happened."
He jitters then opens an Excel spreadsheet.
"What are you doing?"
I arch a brow, peering over his project. He turns the screen away, but I get a tiny peak.
It's our project.

DYLAN EMERTONTUESDAY NIGHT."She said yes!"An enthusiastic voice reaches through the door. The guys—Luke, Shawn, Graham, and Ian all cheer while I stagger from the stool. All of them are too drunk to poke for details, but Jimmy's voice gives it off as something to applaud.She. Said. Yes. That voice belongs to Jimmy and "she" in this scenario is no other than Camilla.My cellphone buzzes and I realise it's well in my grip. I get a notification from I*******m, which allows me to peak at the phone clock before the screen shuts off—7:22 PM.Where has the fucker been since? He came back here at this hour to declare openly that she said yes.Wasn't he supposed to stay at his dorm? Not like Camilla is the kind of girl you wouldn't gladly announce to the entire fucking world."Maybe they've been celebrating. That's why she didn't answer your last text."My subconscious taunts, deliberately, twisting the knife already lodged in my heart.Alcohol has the guys sprawled across the couch, sofa,

DYLAN EMERTONTUESDAY."What are you doing here?"She tensions, yanking away from my hold. Losing contact feels like blood being oozed away from my body."This is a library. You're not the only one who reads Camilla.""You came here to read?"She questions, sprouting disbelief."So hard to believe that I can.""Yes."She lashes out. I came here to read. Then I began watching her for at least half an hour."What did you tell Claire about me?"Claire? A better question did Claire tell Camilla about me?"What are you talking about?""Answering a question with another question could either be two things. You're trying to see how bad the situation is by getting me to divulge more information or you're genuinely stupid. In your case, I think it's both."She crosses her arm underneath her chest; the book lingering out from one end."So vicious Cam. So very harsh.""Don't call me that."She sparks. I take a step forward and she withdraws."Don't call you what?"I slide my head, mirroring a smi

CAMILLA RENÉE TUESDAY. I plunge the bottled water over my bed and slid down, but my whole body still wriggles and relive the last fifty minutes of my life. Verity be told. I didn't think I'll make it past the section of the library without melting or floating across the floor, but I did. I could even say a greeting to the distraught librarian, I could dig out my cell phone—order an Uber and subsist by the sidewalk, peeping over my shoulder, half predicting him to show up again. I ordered pizza and went back to the dorms. I just finished devouring, drank a lot of water. Despite that, I can't get him out of my system. Everything makes me recall. My clothes have an imprint of his smell from the number of times he pressed us against each other. My arms, legs, cheeks, and lips are yet to recover from his being. Curse him for making it feel that good. I

DYLAN EMERTON THURSDAY. "Two days. I lingered for two fucking days. Sleepless night. Condemning myself. Hurling. Veering around. Hell and back. I survived till this day all under the consolation of being able to have her close all weekend and she's going with fucking Jimmy!? How does one un-alive another human being?" I can't disguise anything. My emotions are on full display and fuck, I do not give a shit. "Jimmy. You're going with him? Your parents know?" I clench my jaw, wishing I were near enough to hear her heart rate. Is it scampering like mine? "They said I could bring a plus one. It'll be a good time for them to meet him." Like hell. I fastened my fists by my side, grimacing intensely. She better take back every word. Fucking Jimmy. Meet her parents? They've barely been dating for a two weeks?

DYLAN EMERTON"It's late and it must waste us all from the trip. Why don't we have a good night's recess, then prepare for the wedding tomorrow?"Mrs Renée proposed. Her husband didn't take an appreciation to it, giving a shrewd look at his daughter and Boy. Friend. Oh, the weekend drama."Yes, I think that's a decent idea"My mother agreed, elbowing dad to join her in—which he did."Camilla, I got you a dress for the wedding since I wasn't sure if you packed any. It's on your bed. As for your boyfriend..."Her distortion at the very mention is enough to put comedians out of their business. I could double over in laughter, but I have a suspicion there's more to come."That's fine. He can book his room."Camilla tries to keep a straight face, but with her dad's grunt and mombling words along the line of "damn straight, he can" I have to bite my lip not to cackle. "Or they could stay together? Save the cost"The hu

CAMILLA RENÉESATURDAY."Good Morning gorgeous."Jimmy is outstanding at fooling facial expressions or my dad and Dylan leaving as he enters are of little regard for him.Still, he sheathes his arms around my neck and clasps his lips against mine.Extra credits for confidence Jimmy. My dad could return any moment from now.I part my lips and let his tongue evade mine."Morning."I momble and he pulls away, invading the seat Dylan vacated minutes ago.We engage in small talk; I apologise for not telling him about Dylan. He smiles back and waves the topic off. That easily.****They toasted breakfast eggs and bacon served from the motel, my mother's cooking beats this any day, but I don't have a choice, so I bite it down along with the bile in my throat.I've never been seated at a more uneasy table for seven. Clinging glasses and forks are the only sound for ten minutes and it's excruciating. Dylan is

CAMILLA RENÉESATURDAY.I peep right and people are retiring. Left and folks are dispersing."Come."He rasps. I loathe the way my body reacts. I despise the influence one word from him can have on me. My feet don't stay. They heed to him and snatch his hand.I'm not sure why defeat shifts up my skin when we reach the table and he lets go.I'm not sure why my whole body rakes with sadness at the loss of his hand. Jimmy hasn't returned and Dylan saunters back to his seat. His eyes reach mine shortly. The look from the dance floor holds.I shiver."Sorry I took so long."Spell is driven. I move my entire body to meet Jimmy's. He's back. I don't feel guilt. Guilt for dancing with Dylan while he was gone. Nothing.I felt zero since I directed every sense to his words. "I want to kiss you so bad."And I ask — why doesn't he? Another question creeps, one I ignore for the answer bothers me; If he did, would I let

CAMILLA RENÉESUNDAY.My day in one word is—fast-paced. Jimmy and I moved around the city. Zoo. Ice cream. Park. Children. Kingston High stood closed because of the weekend. Funny how I didn't spend a waking second relishing it. My physical body dwelled beside Jimmy, but everything else was back at the motel. Back at last night. Back at his kiss. Back at him.Each time tugging more fiercely and swearing curse words. To who exactly? Dylan for kissing me? Myself for allowing him? Reciprocating? and then enjoying it? or my father for interrupting us? So many deeds in one night.I went directly to my room and fasten the door, my heart racing as I paced from edge to edge. Eventually, I slumped behind it and listened to the footsteps. I held my heart in my hand and watched him zone past me. Or my father? I didn't know.I lingered in that position, slept in that spot and woke up with an ache in my back.Then as the coward, I am, I t
