Padgett POV.
"Cam! You should not try to force me, I don't want to...""Please! Remember you always say, I will do anything, just for you to be happy." "How does me dating someone make you happy?" "Of course, it will, every girl your age in school, has experienced it but I never said have sex with them, I will have your head on a plate if you try it." For the first time, in his words, I could find humor in it as we talked.“Alright I’ll try if you stop being a player," I said knowing he could never, agree to that, judging from what I heard about him, I could tell, that girls were part of his everyday life, so this could turn out to be my lucky day and then we could forget all about the conversation. “Deal," He said making me jump out of my seat shocked, I stared at him all confused, I couldn't possibly believe what I was hearing. "What did you just say?" "I said deal, which means you go on a date with Sutton and I promise the next relationship I’ll try to make it last I’ll do anything for you, you should know that by now." He said grinning, then I looked at him. "Don't you have any relationship for now?" I asked, he ran his hand on his neck, then frowned a bit. "Come on, I wasn't... Fine, I was...But she is not my type, I am going to break up with her next week, so after now, I promise I will pick someone I could stay with..." I look at him, as he tries to place all his words together to make sense, I can see he is trying to make me understand, it seems he doesn't want me to judge him. "So creamy we have a deal right you’ll try and fall in love.""Um! That girl behind you seems smitten over you she can’t keep her eyes off you." I said stuttering trying to change the topic, he pressed his lips together, he wanted to turn but still kept his eyes on me waiting for an answer. True to my words the girl behind me was staring intently at us, not me, it's just the man crush of hers, Cameron. In less than twenty-four hours, I could not stop hating every girl that had her eyes on him. I doubt if I could ever get used to the fact that, girls will always ogle at him. Then again my thoughts wander to his lips, imagining if he had ever kissed any girl before."Creamy! Back to Earth, can you stop wondering, I really can't get your pace." I gave him a faint smile as he dragged my nose, now that girl over there is going to kill me, she is sending me killer glares as he keeps playing with me. "I am not wondering, I am only feeling sorry for the girl over there." I lie through my teeth, the thing is, I was thinking about myself. “Oh really is she pretty, hot, sexy? You Know I like them with perfect curves…" He asks grinningI looked back as my heart tore into tiny pieces she was not just pretty she was gorgeous perfect curves beautiful smiles, she fit into that perfect description of the type of girl, my beloved best friend likes."Congrats to you, Miss No Name, my crush just found his new catch for the week…" I thought sarcastically, with a clenched fist and bitterness running right in my veins. When his eyes didn't leave me, I parted my lips."Yeah, she’s really pretty," I said trying to keep myself from breaking down once again"Really?" I gave him a weak nod, then he touched my head. "You should stay right here, I will be back before you know it, hope you won't mind?" He asked with pleading eyes. "Nope, just catch your fun," I said trying to sound normal. I watched him dash towards the girl, I have no idea, what made me, bring her to his notice, inside of me boiled, I just didn't feel comfortable with it anymore, I closed my eyes and tried not to act too possessive, I just arrived here, making enemies isn't part of my thing, I can't create enemies for myself because of a boy, whose father have everything, while my mom have nothing. It didn't take much time before the girl left, just when he was about to come back to me, I saw the girl, he was with earlier, it was no other person but Cassie, amid two other girls, they too happened to be in same class with us. Right before my eyes, she sat down on his thigh, and one of her hands came behind his head and drew him closer to kiss him deeplyAs their lips met, a rush of jealousy swam through my veins, I felt like I was stabbed, with a sharp knife that pierced right into my heart. I don't know, if it's hatred, jealousy, or possessiveness, all I wanted right now, was for them to stop it, I felt cheated on. Do I have the right, to be jealous? He is just my best friend, I should be grateful that he still regards me, as one, even after I left him for three years. "Hey, you don't want to corrupt your eyes, do you?" I heard that voice, so I turned, I stared at him blankly. "Idiot! You should introduce yourself to her, I am Alex Jason, Cameron's best friend and he is Sutton Ramsey, the saint among the sinners." He said pointing to the first boy, who spoke to me, I ran my eyes on him, which meant he was the one, Cameron wanted for me, he was not bad, he was way handsome too "Nice to meet you, I am...""Padgett Ryan." The two echoed, causing me to give a weak smile. "Here!" Another voice comes from behind, he is holding an ice cream, taking me unaware, Ice cream in a bar. "Go on, I wouldn't dare to poison it, if I still love my life." I smiled, as I took the ice cream from him. "Ray Craig, that is my sweet name." He said then tried to place a kiss at the back of my hand. "You don't want to die, do you?' Cameron's voice startled him, he pulled away from me. "Hey man, who was that girl?" Alex asked"Cassie!'"Come on, you should know we are not asking about Cassie." He rolled his eyes on Ray. "Some girl, she is new here, I got her number, so probably my..." He paused and looked at me."Your last date." I completed it for him. "Last date!!!" The three screamed while he closed his ear. "Go on!" Sutton urge him"Isn't that, what you always wanted, you should be grateful that you have one vote more on your side, so I will try to make it work." Sutton gave me, a nice smile, I don't get the reason, he kept smiling at me but the truth is, it was so uncomfortable, probably because of Cameron's words, I will have to date Sutton, to keep my promise, if he is keeping his. "I hope, you could with all these pretty things around with lovely ass to press.""Hey, stop talking dirty, you don't want to corrupt my baby sister." Cameron pushed Alex's head as he scolded him. "Anyways, you all know she is in our class but she is my best friend, my childhood friend, more like a sister, we practically grew up together before she jilted me since she is back, you all we have to treat her like a queen, if anyone bullies her, you all know what to do, you should protect her." "Does it mean, we could take her out?" "No Ray, you can't take her out, I wouldn't want my baby to get raped, Sutton is the only person that could." "What if I want to date her?" Alex is the craziest one among them, they were talking like I was not there. "Not in this life." "Are you by chance, saying I don't suit her?""Of course, I don't give my precious stone to pig." Cameron grabbed my hand. "This is the only person, you could go out with, if I ever see you going out with these two, I will personally kill you." They all laughed as he pulled my hand and dragged me through the crowd, leaving his buddies behindFinally, it was time to go home the party was nowhere near over they usually go on till late at night sometimes even up till dawn but thankfully my curfew was almost up which meant I had a solid excuse to get out of this party as soon as I could. "Let's go home already, mommy will get mad at me if I don't return home on time." We came here in his car and we had to leave with it, back then I went everywhere with Cameron and he was practically my driver taking me to school and back and then forcefully dragging me to lame places every Friday which has become a habit of ours, that was when I started falling for him. My mom was working for his parents, and we had a good relationship, so spending the night at his house was no big deal I’ve gotten used to it, even though, I was separate from him for three years, just today, I could feel, we will still be like we were before. “Okay creamy let’s go," Cameron said grinning! "Are you okay?" I asked"Cathy Kyle," he said still grinning"Is that her name? I asked chuckling nervously. "Who was that girl?"“Oh Rhonda, she is Cassie's friend, she is also in our class." I pinned my lips together. “I got her number you know we’ll be seeing a lot more of her in the future, she said she is planning on moving to our school and I think I like her. She is not so bad not bad at all come on let’s get you home I’ll drive." He said grabbing the keys and leaving me stunnedPadgett POVCassie! Rhonda! Cathy! I couldn't get those names out of my head throughout the whole driver, I could see that Cameron, was trying his very best to make small talk with me, he kept asking me how I felt about Sutton but I was more worried that he was so smitten by a girl he met a few hours ago and that girl is no other person than Cathy. Maybe he is just excited I mean Cameron Is a player there is no way he is going to stick with her for more than two weeks, all playboys are always excited when they first meet a new girl, and besides he has Cathy as his newest girlfriend which means Rhonda, is way out of the picture and if Cassie is Rhonda friend, she has no chance whatsoever with him"What do you think about Sutton?" He asked as the car came to a halt at his house, I looked at him, I don't like Sutton more than just a friend, he is a nice person but the truth is, if I wasn't in love with Cameron, I would had prefer Alex, just maybe, because of those stupid love story I have
Padgett POV. For some reason, I don't want to be seen with Cameron on school premises, so many eyes were on me, yesterday when he pulled me through the crowd of those numerous girls, and appearing at the club with him, the previous night was frustrating. As I walked through the hallway, I wished Cameron would forget about Cathy, Rhonda, and everything that had to do with them, who knows maybe he and Cathy would work out but I had a really bad feeling about Rhonda, she kind of looked like those girls that will part ways with her friends all because of a boy. I sneak past the crowd unnoticed and make my way to my locker to grab my books I need them then I have to go to the lab to bury my head in my books before the bell rings. I opened up my locker to see a note carefully placed inside possibly from the little hole underneath it. I didn't possess any secret admirer, even if I will have one in the future, not so fast, just the second day in school, so I was really curious as to who wou
Padgett POVHis eyes didn't leave me, waiting for an answer, I don't know what to say but at this point, I need to lie my way out. "You don't know, who I am talking about, so if you don't mind, you should excuse me." I tried to walk away from him but he held my hand. "Let go of me." "I could help you, I know you are too shy to admit and I saw the way you looked at him at the bar last night when he kissed that girl, I know you are in love with him, it's only someone jealous or in love with her best friend that could react the way you react when you see your man with another girl...""I am not in love with him...''"Hey slow down, you are too defensive but you have nothing to worry about, your secret could be saved with me if only you agree to be my girlfriend." "What?" He was too straightforward. 'I will never be your girlfriend, I am not going to fall for your cheap blackmail." "I know you are in love with him, within, forty-eight hours, I will get points that show that you are in
Padgett's Pov I’m so dead right now Cameron hardly gets mad at me but when he does he’s a force to reckon with, if there is one thing, I couldn't bear, is the fact that he is mad at me, I felt my world crumbled when I heard those words from him. "Can't you talk, what do you have to say?" "I am sorry, I don't..." I tried taking his hand but he pulled away from my grip, my tears threatened to drop, and I felt doom."Um! Hey, Cam..." I said as he stared at me still furious tightening his fists."Explain to me why you didn't tell me Cassie was assaulting you," he said as I gulped down my saliva and then gathered myself, I realized that my secret was still safe. "Cassie!" "Yes, Cassie the bitch who dared to assault you.""Cam..." I seethed."What creamy, I’ve told you many times to tell me when someone is bullying you but no you prefer to keep it to yourself and get hurt in the process, I wouldn't know what to do just so you don’t get hurt and how will I protect you, if you don't tell
Padgett's POV"Everyone, listen up, Padgett Ryan, is my best friend and my sister, if anyone hurts her, they will have me to battle with and if you dare cross her part, you will get consumed by my rage, I know you all don't want that, not even those that call themselves my girlfriend or fling will go unpunished." It was crazy as they all stared at me, as he pulled me into a hug in front of this crowd, I could hear some admiring me, wishing to be me while others cursed at me. I could barely eat during lunch, as usual, the guys would talk about their basketball game and Newton kept glancing at me silently I understood that he was just looking out for points to be able to get me into becoming his girlfriend, he used the word fake but I am so afraid that, he had an interior motivate that is the reason, he asked for that, there are other girls, which means, he could pick from them while does it have to be me. Then my thoughts drove back to Cassie, her words were tearing me apart, those word
Padgett's POV"Go on and tell me, what is it?' He asked when I didn't say a word, he caressed my hand."Nothing just tell me, what you wanted to say?" "Okay, if you say so remember when we made that deal that I’ll make my relationship work and you’ll go out with someone, well who better than Cathy could fill that space, she’s beautiful, sexy, she’s amazing and for once I think I like a girl." He said smiling while I broke apart inside"So she is having a house party by the weekend, and since I broke up with Cassie, I was thinking of asking her out properly, and who better to help me than you right? Please Creamy, I really like Cathy, you have to help me out on this one I’m doing this because I want to make the relationship work and so you’ll have a chance at love, creamy, so would you help me out please?" He said as I felt my eyes watery"Cameron," I said tiredly"Can you stop calling me Cameron, I prefer it when you call me Cam, it sounds romantic." He said, I pressed my lips togethe
Cameron's POVThe next day morning, I was the first to wake up, she was still sleeping peacefully, my eyes went to her lips and I found myself rubbing my thumb on her bottom lips, I bit my lips and found myself falling my face slowly to hers, when her eyes flew open, as a result of the alarm. "Ah!" She screamed, as her eyes flew open. I got up fast from her. "Stop shouting, is me." "You," She drags the duvet to cover herself. "Yes me! What is wrong with you?" "I should be asking how did you get in?" "Oh, that! I was bored at home and father is around, you know how I hate him." Her eyes didn't leave me. "Fine, I came in last night, Aunty gave me the key, so I could show up anytime, especially when she is not around, so I could keep an eye on you and chase those bloody assholes from you." She rolled her eyes at me, then stood from the bed, she didn't bother trying to cover herself with the duvet, I noticed she ran very fast into the bathroomI laughed at her silly act and then sat
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
