(Pt.2) Ch.2: “Back Again”

Monday

7:52 am, Aug 2

Alex: ugh.... this hallway stinks, I think the phobias of this place is starting to come back...Oh my god! Look at-

Terrin/Jason: "ALEX!" they said as everyone was staring at them

• The hallway got awkward and silent, due to the eyes staring at them as if they were something wrong with them. Even though everyone knew who the three were, but there was only one person who is still on them

Alex: "great...now you got everyone looking at us" he whispered

Jason: dude it was your fault...

Alex: my fault!?

Terrin: kept on talking since we left the house

Alex: well, my bad, I didn't remember asking your guys opinion

Jason: ugh whatever, I'm too tired for this

Terrin: yea let's just go get our schedule and-

Liam: "HAHA! IS THAT DUMB AND DUMBER I SEE!?" he yelled coming down the hallway

• Everyone who was in the hallway even the teachers all, went away when they saw Liam and the football team came down the hallway

Alex: uh oh...

Jason: great...he's here

Terrin: this dude...

Alex: so, I'm going to go now ill-

Terrin: "oh no you don't" he said grabbing his backpack

Jason: just act cool and-

Liam: "hey dumb and dumber! Long time no see haha!" he said grabbing both Terrin's and Jason's neck

Liam: oh yea, you too....um what should I call you?

Alex: I don't even talk to you

Liam: DUMBEST! Haha yes, perfect!

Alex: I hate this school

Liam: now that were here, how are my two favorite boys doing?

Jason: back off dude

Terrin: yea don't act like were friends

Liam: aw aren't we though? Oh, yea no haha, we were. Until you dumped football for that girl crap!

Alex: hey! It's not girl-

Liam: shut up!

Liam: you guys, ditched the team just for something useless, now you have to face the consequences

Terrin: we've been putting up with this sense January

Jason: yea bro just be the bigger person, and let go

Liam: yea...maybe your right. Or Maybe! You guys are just DUMB for thinking I'm going to fall for something that stupid haha! Right guys!?

• The rest of the football team started laughing with Liam, the rest of the guys came in to see what was happening

Camil: what is going on!?

Alex: ugh it's about time you guys came!...

Cameron: why is Liam and them here?

Moon: probably messing with them again...?

Alex: yea, for an attractive guy he's kind of a jerk

Camil: he's more than a jerk Alex

Leo: well, we need to do something dude...

Camil: "move" he said walking up to Liam

Cameron: "what is this girl doing..." he whispered to himself

Camil: LIAM!

Liam: what the...who is this?

Terrin: Camil...?

Jason: what are you doing?

Camil: were tired of you being bored and messing with us just because you got pent up feelings and emotions, grow some balls and go find something to do with yourself for once! And also, I hope you find some help, you need it.

Camil: "let's go guys" she said grabbing the boy's arms

Liam: oh, now I remember haha...you're that girl that's with them, the leader, right? Haha hey is it just me or you've been eating more than usual. I hope you start a diet there haha, you need it

• Camil froze when she heard those words come out his mouth, and she couldn't help but feel as the insecurities were hitting her right then and there

Moon: oh no...

Cameron: what...?

Leo: why is she just standing there?

Jason: "hey Camil..." he whispered

Terrin: don't listen to him

Camil: ...lets go

Liam: yea that's what I thought! And as the new Q1 I hope to see you at the game Jason! Haha

Jason: what...

Terrin: ignore him Jason...

Jason: but he said-

Camil: Let it Go Jason!

Jason: okay...jeez

Moon: Camil...

Camil: I'm going...just um...you guys go ahead without me, and tell Bryce and Austin I said hey when they get here...okay?

Moon: but are you-

Camil: "I'm fine moon, I promise...I'll see you later" she said holding moon's hand

Moon: okay...

Alex: "okay...what just happened" he said holding his hair back

Leo: I have no idea...is she okay

Moon: "obviously she's not Leo!" she said watching Camil walk away from them

Leo: oh...okay

Jason: she didn't have to do that

Terrin: exactly...that's why she's our leader, but why did she do that...?

Jason: what?

Alex: freeze up...

Leo: moon?

Moon: hey...um did Bryce and Austin text back yet

• As moon ignored and pretended that she didn't hear Leo, the guys knew that there was something going on with Camil. But they also knew that they had to respect that, so they got the only person who could maybe help her

Leo: yea...um they said there were going to come from the front, you want to go see?

Moon: yea please

Alex: "Cameron..." he whispered

Cameron: what?

Jason: go see her

Cameron: come again?

Terrin: go talk to camil and see what's wrong with her

Cameron: No

Alex: what!? Why not?

Cameron: moon ignored you guys for a reason, she was protecting camil, if she doesn't want us to know anything. Let's keep it that way

Jason: dude, she's our friend, well maybe not to you but-

Cameron: stop saying that

Terrin: we will tell her that you like her

Alex: ha! See! He didn't say anything

Cameron: you know nothing

The rest: yea okay

Cameron: ...some brats you guys are...i don't even know where she's at

Alex: well, you must know some place... right?

Cameron: ...maybe

8:15 am

• Cameron knew exactly where she would've been, at least a strong hint. All he had to do was think about the first time they met. He saw her sitting, playing on the piano, breaking down in tears

Cameron: "I knew it..." he thought closing the door behind him

Camil: "oh um...um I'm sorry this room is occupied" she said wiping the tears off her face

Cameron: not when the door is open

Camil: Cameron...!? Why...ugh you're not supposed to be here, "not like this" she whispered to herself

Cameron: well, I'm here, so deal with it

Camil: ...please go...I don't have time to be petty with you

Cameron: "good, cause I'm staying" he said sitting down next to her

Camil: what...?

Cameron: listen ...you hear that key?

Camil: C8?

Cameron: and this one?

Camil: A1?

Cameron: "here..." he said grabbing her hand slowly. Now play it

Camil: what?

Cameron: Do It

Camil: oh...um okay

• Cameron watches her play the two keys over and over again, when really, he would catch himself staring at her dried tears instead of the her playing the piano

Cameron: stop

Camil: what are we doing Cameron?

Cameron: I want you to do it one more time

Camil: okay...there

Cameron: How did you feel? With the high and low key

Camil: ...one felt deeper while one felt more lighthearted

Cameron: there's a difference, you see where im coming from

Camil: not really

Cameron: look...im not the type of person to talk these thing out with...Actually I only showed my emotions one time, ever since...I would always use the piano to let it all out

Camil: I see...

Cameron: I don't know what happened back there but I heard what he said...everyone did

Camil: I know...you don't have to remind me again

Cameron: why did you let him get to you?

Camil: because its true...I need to go on a diet, exercise...or something

Cameron: camil-

Camil: "I mean look at me! What do you see! Exactly nothing!" she said breaking down crying....im nothing and that's how it'll stay-

• He couldn't help but feel the pent u anger he had, not with Camil but with the fact that she has that mindset in her and him having no idea this was happening. He had no choice but to think that she really needs him and the rest to be there for her

Cameron: camil-

Camil: "I mean look at me! What do you see! Exactly nothing!" she said breaking down crying. I'm nothing and that's how it'll stay-

Cameron: "CAMIL! Please....stop doing this to yourself" he said holding her in his arms to calm her down

Camil: Im tired Cameron...

Cameron: I know...and im here to fix that, and I promise I won't let you down

Camil: you...promise?

Cameron: "yes, and im never going to let go of that promise..." he whispered holding her tightly

Cameron: never...

8:36 am

Moon: where are they!?

Leo: hey stop yelling at me, I didn't do anything!

Alex: oh boy...

Terrin: this is exactly what im talking about, next thing you know the band is going to breakup because of this relationship stuff

Jason: speaking of that... "where Cameron?" he whispered to Alex and Terrin

Alex: I don't know...he should-

Cameron: hey

Terrin: woah! Dude...where did you come from!

Camil: haha...that's kind've his thing

Cameron: yea haha...

Alex: it's about time you two came back

Jason: are you okay? We've been-

Camil: im okay Jason, don't worry haha...

Moon: "V!? Oh...I've been worried sick about you" she said running up to hug her

Leo: it has literally been like 15 minutes

Moon: shut up! Figure out why they are taking so long!

Leo: "fine! I want a hug too after!" he said texting Bryce and Austin

Moon: are you okay, and don't lie Rudolph's nose is on your face

Camil: I might've cried but you know, first day things...

Moon: ah yea I remember, well im praying we have all classes together, I don't want you to be alone at a time like this

Cameron: she won't be

Moon: I know I was talking to-

Cameron: okay

Moon: did you know you're so rude

Cameron: "sorry u feels that way" he said shrugging his shoulders

Leo: hey they said they should be pulling up any minute

Alex: isn't that them right there?

The rest: oh wow...

Camil: he really came...haha that...that made me laugh a little

Cameron: same, I mean I know he agreed but...he actually came?

Jason: look at what Austin is wearing! Oh my god...

Terrin: is that a turtle neck...dude haha

Alex: I can't believe im saying this but he is really attractive

Leo: haha, let's go tease them

Camil: yea I need some laughter in me

Bryce: Austin why is this place so crowded...

Austin: it's a school Bryce haha, you acting like you've never been to school

Bryce: ...i never went

Leo: YO! Look at you guys haha!

Bryce: whatever, this place is to crowded

Camil/moon: he actually looks nice, don't mind them austin haha

Alex: yea you look handsome dude

Austin: haha thank you guys. I really like the green color, and I don't care what Terrin and Jason jokes are, I love it

Jason: haha dude, chill we were joking, and I won't lie...you do look good

Terrin: yea haha better than we do

Cameron: you two just dressed up in sweats

moon: literally haha

• As they were all talking, Bryce was thinking about how he was going to sleep in class because of how much he didn't want to be there. Until he saw someone that caught his eye, that was when DeJa'Vu hit him

Bryce: "who is that?" he said pointing to where the girl was at

The rest: who?

Bryce: her, that red head over that

Camil: oh that's Sarah Evans

Bryce: Sarah...?

Moon: the one with the glasses, right?

Bryce: yea...

Camil: oh, yea that's Sarah and the one behind her, is her brother Elliot

Alex: ouuu someone already has a crush

The rest: ouuu haha

Austin: haha Sarah and Bryce sitting in a-

Bryce: "don't even finish that line or ill break this turtle neck of yours..." he said grabbing onto Austin shirt

Austin: haha don't worry guys, he does this like ALL the time back home

Cameron: I don't know if I can imagine Bryce liking someone

The rest: me either

Alex: but it's fun to imagine things haha

Moon: your right

Camil: guys look...this is where our junior year start....

Moon: there is no telling what going to happen this year...

Jason: let's just hope it was better than last semester

• They all looked up at the front of the building and took a look at what could possibly be, what this year has in store for them...and most importantly if there band will ever take off as they dreamed it to be

Leo: oh...well there goes the bell

Alex: here we are... back again

Jason: you guys ready?

Bryce: I want to go home

Austin: mom said she will kick you out, if you don't come to school with me

Bryce: oh yea, she did say that...

Moon: just positive thoughts okay guys

Terrin: yea, nothing worse could happen right?

Leo: right...

Camil: been ready since my breakdown this morning, I have nothing to lose

Cameron: "we'll be fine, as long as we have each other" he said holding Camil's hand

Camil: yes we have each other, always

Camil: Now... lets go do this
