It was Monday. The rest of the weekend went by really slow. Cameron was stuck in my head. Ever since the dance. Yesterday I caught myself staring at him as we all watched a movie in the living room.

After I was dressed and ready today I made my way into the kitchen to get some food. I grabbed some Eggos out of the freezer and put them in the toaster.

"Good morning." I heard Cameron day from behind me. I jumped and quickly turned around.

"Ahh. G-good..." I stuttered and turned back towards the toaster. I felt my heart start racing. I stared down at the counter.

Cameron came up behind me and touched my hand. It felt like a thousand butterflies were flying around in my stomach.

"Sorry just trying to get a glass." He said softly and reached his hand up to grab a glass from the cupboard. His face was inches from mine. He looked me in the eyes and smiled ever so softly. I didn't breathe the entire time he was this close to me.

"Your pajamas are adorable." He said smiling at my pajama set that was covered in small little images of cats.

"Shut up." I laughed. I watched him pour orange juice into his glass and take a sip. I couldn't take my eyes away from him. I took a deep breath.

"What's burning?" Davie asked breaking my trance.

"What? Oh my god!" I turned around to see smoke coming from the toaster. I pulled up my Eggos only to see that they were completely black.
............................

I had a huge smile on my face all the way to school. It didn't leave my face until I got to my locker.

The word 'slut' was painted on my locker with a picture of Jake and I from the party kissing and a picture of Cameron and i dancing at the dance.

There was a group of people standing around my locker laughing. I didn't know why but it kind of hurt to see that Jake was in that group of people. I looked down at his hands to see dry paint on his hands the same color red that was on my locker.

I walked over to Jake and slammed him against the wall.

"You're a piece of shit." I growled at him.

"And you're a slut but that's nothing new." He said with a smirk.

I kneed him in the balls then punched him in the face as hard as I could. I let him fall to the ground. I walked over to my locker and ripped the pictures down and threw them in the trash.

I saw Tessa, Davie, and Stacey once I turned around to walk away. They all looked at me with the same concerned look. I walked past them as quickly as I could. I basically ran into the girls bathroom.

I leaned against the wall and sank down to the ground. Why was I crying? This is ridiculous. They're just stupid high schoolers. I'm better than this.

"Alexis." I heard Tessa say as she sat down next to me.

"Are all guys such assholes?" I asked laughing a little as I cried.

"Not all guys. Davie for one I think he just broke his hand punching Jake for you."

"What?" I asked wiping away any tears that were on my face.

"And Cameron who's currently cleaning off the paint from your locker. Now let's get you cleaned up and show that piece of shit that he isn't worth your time." Tessa said standing up and holding out her hand to help me up.

"Alexis Luna, Davie Johnson, and Jacob Jefferson please report to the principal's office." We heard through the intercom.

"Fuck me!" I groaned. I left the bathroom and immediately arms were wrapped around me. It was Davie. He pulled me into a hug.

"We're definitely suspended. My mom is gonna kill us." Davie said laughing a little. I grabbed his hand that was cut open and bruises from punching Jake.

"How many times did you hit him?" I asked laughing a little.

"A lot." He laughed.

We made our way to the principals office and had to wait until Kathrine and Jake's dad arrived. Kathrine and Jake's dad were in the office for almost an hour as we waited outside of it.

"If your son ever harasses Alex again you'll be hearing my lawyers!" Kathrine yelled at Jake's dad before storming out of the office.

"What happened?" Davie asked.

"Both of you are suspended for the rest of the week that also includes your internship Alex but Jake is suspended for two weeks."

"Are we in trouble with you?" Davie asked raising his eyebrows at her.

"No. I would've down the same thing. Now let's go home." Kathrine said wrapping her arm around my shoulder.
........................
The first few days of suspension were spent training Davie how to fight. The last few days were spent binge watching Harry Potter for the first time. Cameron brought us home our homework everyday.

David was out with Tessa so Cameron and I were watching the last Harry Potter. Nobody else was home with us.

"How is your arm healing?" Cameron asked looking over at me.

"It's okay. It's nothing that I can't handle." I said as I touched the bandage on my arm softly.

"That whole situation just seems off to me. Why weren't you taken to the hospital? Why were there no police and only shady FBI agents. It just doesn't make sense."

"I honestly don't know. I think you're dad just doesn't want a lot of press about it and I'm honestly okay so I don't think it truly mattered if they stitched me up at a hospital or right there." I lied. I was usually okay with lying but I hated lying to him.

"I guess. I don't know. I should probably stop reading into it so much." He said sighing.

"Exactly. You're too young to be this stressed out." I laughed. I tossed a piece of popcorn at him to help lighten the mood.

"How dare you." He smiled at me. He reached over and grabbed a whole handful of popcorn from the bowl I was holding and tossed it at me. I squealed and jumped up.

"Jerk." I said while I was laughing.

"You started it." He said putting his hands up.

"And i'll finish it too." I said with an evil smile. I took the bowl and dumped it on his head. He gasped and I was laughing hysterically.

"You'll pay for that one." He said getting up quickly but I was too fast and I took off running.

He was fast because he was catching up with me as I ran up the stairs. My goal was to make it to my room. Just as I was about to open the door his arms wrapped around my waist and he picked me up. I squealed loudly as I was laughing.

"Put me down!" I yelled but I honestly didn't care. I usually hated when people touched me but I was okay with this.

He laughed but set me back down slowly. When he did we were only inches apart. I felt my heart start racing and my breathing slow until it felt like I was holding my breath. His eyes were a gorgeous brown. I could get lost in them if I looked long enough. His hands were still on my waist and it felt like they were on fire. We were so close it would be so easy to close the distance between us.

And suddenly that's all I wanted. I wanted him to close the distance and kiss me intensely on the lips. But just as I thought we were going to I heard the shrill sound of my phone ringing. Whatever trance we were in broke and he quickly stepped away from me.

I felt myself internally sigh. I pulled my phone out of my pocket to see it was Davie calling me.

"Hey what's up?" I asked.

"Do you want to go to the fair with us? We were thinking about going tonight?" Davie asked.

"The fair?" I asked looking up at Cameron. I honestly had no idea what that was.

"Ooh yes." Cameron said excitedly.

"What's the fair?" I asked confused. Cameron laughed and I heard Davie laugh through the phone.

"No seriously." I said.

"No fucking way. You're going." Cameron said firmly still laughing a little.

"Who's with you?" Davie asked as he heard Cameron talking.

"Cameron. We were watching Harry Potter."

"Without me. How rude. But anyway I was going to call Cameron right after you so it saves me another call and having to drive back across town to pick you up so it works out perfectly. I'll see you guys in a bit." He said before hanging up.

"What's the fair?" I asked Cameron again and he simply laughed again.

"Cameron it's not funny. I want to know what you guys are forcing me into."

"Oh but it's going to be so much fun. Do you like cotton candy? and games? and stuffed animals?"

"What's cotton candy?"

"Shut up."  He gasped.

"Have you been on a ferris wheel?" He asked me curiously.

I slowly nodded my head having no idea what he was talking about.

"Oh my god. Go change." He said laughing.
................................

Within an hour offer arriving at the fair. I was forced to try various foods on sticks and play many games that I was really good at. I was currently attempting to win the large prize at ring toss. It was a very large stuffed bear. I had already won a couple other large prizes like a large stuffed bunny and a really funny looking hat that I was forcing Davie to wear.

I got the last ring on the bottle and the guy running the booth handed me the bear. Davie, Cameron, and Tessa were cheering for me.

"For you doofus." I said handing the bear to Cameron.

"Thanks." He said grabbing the bear from me with his same dumb smile.

"Now let's go on this ferris wheel that you keep telling me about."

"You two go ahead. We're gonna go get some food. I'll hold your stuff for you." Tessa said as she grabbed up the prizes from Cameron.

"Come on let's go." Cameron said excitedly. He took my hand and smiled at me before he quickly rushed off pulling me with him. I laughed as we rushed towards the ferris wheel. It was huge and there was hardly a line.

A man helped us into our seats and enclosed in the seats with a bar. I just watched Cameron. He had a wide smile on his face. His eyes were gleaming and he looked excited.

I felt the butterflies in my stomach again.

My heart jumped when we started to go up. It scares me at first but then I looked out into the distance. As we got higher you could see the skyline of the city.

"Woah." I said softly. It was gorgeous. I looked up at the sky. The stars were bright.

"It's beautiful." I said amazed by the view.

"I know." He said quickly. I looked over at him. He wasn't looking at the sky or out in the distance as I was. He was looking directly at me. My heart started racing and my stomach felt fuzzy.

He didn't look away when we made eye contact. He held his eyes on me which only made me blush but I didn't dare to look away either.

It had only been a few weeks and I was already so attached to this life that I was thrusted into.

I was putting these people into danger. These people who I had only known for a small period of time but I already cared so much for.

I looked away quickly.

I wanted to kiss him. I wanted nothing more.

He'll get hurt. I can't do that. I won't do that to him.
