Padgett's POV. "Will you take your call or are you just going to stare at it till it stops ringing?" I heard Cameron's voice, snapping me from my thoughts. "Mine...mine... it's...""Are you alright?" He touches my head to wipe the sweat-forming beads on my forehead. "I am fine, let's go, we are late already," I said dragging him out, not after pressing my tab to silence it. In no time, we are at school, I was glad we finally arrived, this stupid best friend of mine, keep talking about that stupid romantic nonsense, that he thought, he planned for Cathy, I really don't know what is wrong with him, and what thou fuck did he have with the letter C that he keeps having a thing with every girl that her name starts with the letter C. "I never knew that Cameron was your mom."When I finally could breathe, this demon was here. I said mentally, then turned my eyes to face him, I faked a smile. "Hi, handsome!" "Don't patronize me." His voice came up, I looked at him with an expressionless f

Padgett's POV. "Who are you talking about?" I asked trying to act like I didn't have an idea of what he was saying. "And how was your date?" "Stop trying to change the topic, who was that?" "A friend, you don't know him." "Him! Are you going out with a boy? You barely know anyone around, you shouldn't go out with strangers, I was here the whole time waiting for you, only for you to show up with a total stranger.'"He is not a stranger." "Then who is he?" Start talking."Come on Cam, you are not here to scold me or tell me what to do? I am not a baby, I could care for myself.""Really?" "Tell me, why are you here?" I asked to change the topic"Never mind!" He walked past me, and I gasped for air, as I made my way into our house, I knew he was mad but I didn't try to stop him, I needed the space, I needed to work on my projects; I don’t even want to think about him and to crown it all, I don't know what I wanted. Probably, all I want right now is to sleep, I just need a long nap, m

Padgett's POV. That voice is no other person than that stupid bitter Cassie's voice, I know she is still mad at me but I don't see the reason she is mad because I am not Cameron's girlfriend. "Aren't you supposed to be in class or something?" I said as she gasped in shock surprised at my outburst, I know she wants to bully me but I am not giving her that satisfaction. I don’t blame her usually I would keep quiet and let her molest me and rain curses on me all because of Cameron, for just four days, I have had it up to my neck but not this time, they are not dating anymore, even if I pick a fight with her no one will ever say I did it because I am jealous"Wow you’ve grown balls I see, it's a good thing Cameron had learned the kind of person you are, no wonder he left you.'"That’s funny you know because if I remember clearly, he left you not quite long ago, he got tired of you pretty fast, I am surprised you can still show your face at school you know, after what happened this mornin

Padgett's POV. I headed to the parking garage and Cameron's car was in sight but there was something else there, that singular act that always makes me ripped apart, that breaks my world apart, Cameron was hovering over Cathy and frankly, that wasn't even the worst part of it they were kissing right in front of my eyes in the parking spot near his car. She held onto him so tight as his hands caressed her waist while she placed her hands on each side of his shoulders as they kissed each other like their life depended on it. I promised myself I wasn't going to cry over him anymore so as much as this hurt, so badly; I was going to pick up my pieces and act like it didn't matterI walked passed them, and as I heard her moaning shamelessly to his kisses I wouldn't blame her I was sure he was a great kisser and thankfully they didn't even notice me. I guess they were too engrossed in exchanging saliva to notice the ugly ducklings walking passed them. When I got home Mommy hadn't arrived as

Padgett's POV"Get in you’ll be late for school.""Where is Cathy? Aren't you supposed to be dropping her?" I asked curiously when I saw she wasn't in the car. "I decided not to drop her off anymore it's our thing and she will just be in the way of our little time together her driver is back so no need, to do his job, so get in, I don't want you to get mad at me." He said opening the door as I entered the car without a word, his words made me feel extremely special and confused at the same time but right now, I am sitting inside his car. I heard that you joined the dancing club, Why did you join the dancing club of all things? Just change it, I don't like it." He said more of commanding me.I didn't reply to him nor say a word to him all through the ride since I was very angry at him and his words, so the silent treatment was the only option right now and that was exactly what he was gonna get“Seriously silent treatment how mature." He said as he pulled over at the parking spot and I
