Padgett's POVThe next morning, we arrived at school, since Mrs. Adrian was traveling that morning, I wasn't able to go with her, so I left with my driverAs soon as I alighted from the car, I saw Ray and Sutton, and my smile widened. "Guys!!!" I immediately waved at them but to my surprise, Sutton walked past me without sparing me a glance. "What is wrong with him? I thought as my eyes followed him, the last time, I checked, we were still friends, could it be that Cameron fought with her?""Hey buddy, where is Cameron and what happened between Sutton and Cameron?" I asked Ray"I don't know where Cameron is and as for Sutton, I don't know what went wrong with him." "Hi, handsome!" I heard Julia's voice behind us, smiling brightly"Why are you smiling? Do I suddenly look more handsome?" Ray teased Julia"Yes, you are; are you happy now?" Julia scoffed, causing Ray to pull her to himself. "Hi, Padgett." She said, I looked at her all surprised, I wasn't expecting her to talk to me. "
Padgett's POV. "You should change, you are soaking wet," Cameron said behind me, I turned to look at him, but he didn't stop, he took a few steps ahead and then smiled at me. "You are still cute anyway." He said winking at me again, I blushed and then face-palm myself. "Whoa! Tell me, you two are dating now?" Emerald asked me. "Stop talking nonsense, didn't you see that he is my...""Your what?" Emerald asked, I dragged the towel from her hand, "Let's go to the washroom, the basketball game will soon start." I said trying to change the topic, Emerald smiled. "I know you don't want to tell me, but I heard that prom is coming up soon, and everyone is so crazy about it, I heard that, anyone that is going to be Cameron's date, will automatically get nominated for prom queen, I know he will pick you, so that means, you are going to be one of the nominees for prom queen.' "Emerald stop talking nonsense." "Padgett, you are telling lies, Alex already told me, that Cameron confessed last
Padgett's POV"It’s nothing Cupcakes, I am sorry for not always being here all this while but be rest assured, I’m not leaving you now," she said smiling as my heart tore into pieces, as if that was not enough, she took his hand"Never forget that I’ll always be there for you Cameron." She said hugging him tightly as my heart skipped a bit"Who are you taking to the prom?" She asked him"You should know but since you don't know, I will..." He hadn't finished his words before she raised her head, to kiss him right in front of my eyes, she shut him up from taking the name of the girl, he wanted to take to prom. "Once a playboy always a playboy." I thought as I walked out sadly, remembering those worthless novels, I read about those asshole playboys, I am a fool, and I don't want to go home, so I texted my driver not to pick me up, I just want to wonder my life away, my tears kept dropping as I made my way out of the school compound"Hey Padgett," Newton called behind me as I walked to w
Padgett's POVI was early to school the next day, Cameron had something to do at the principal's office, I don't know why the principal sent for him and Betsy, so I headed to the class; it's just Dennis there. "Hey, Dennis! What are you doing all alone?" I asked as I walked to my seat, he too stood from his seat and walked towards me. "I heard that the prom is coming and since I newly moved here, I don't have any new friends yet, I don't know who to go to the prom with, will you come with me?" "I look at Dennis, I wasn't expecting that he would pick me, although we have been friends for the past weeks that doesn't make us the best of friends, there are so many things that we barely know about each other." "Padgett, I know you don't have a boyfriend, and the thing is, I want you to be my girlfriend, so I am not just talking you to the prom but I want to be your boyfriend officially." He said leaning in, causing our gap to close, I was about to push him when he crashed his lips on m
Padgett's POVI waited for the slap to meet my cheeks but it never did, but I heard something hit on the skin, producing a sound, and out of curiosity, I opened my eyes to see what was going on."Scram!!!" Cameron seethed badly"I am sorry Cameron, I had no idea she was yours""I said scram!!!" He repeated as his eyes held rage in them, He couldn't say a word, as he ran off and shut the door behind him, he turned and looked at me, probably checking, if I was hurt."Never go into the boys' locker room alone." He said coldly before heading to the showers leaving me stunned. I took a sit on the bench trying to calm myself down as I still couldn’t believe what just happened. I could not figure out if Cameron was still very much mad at me and he refused to talk to me, but the truth is, he is my knight in shining armor"Gosh, I love him so much…" I thought as the door opened up revealing him. He acted like I wasn’t there at all and simply changed into a sweatshirt and that was when it hit me
Padgett's POVI closed my eyes, how did I get stupid as to fall for Berry's entices, I know I planned to hurt them all but when I got home yesterday, I decided to let it go, I am no longer mad at them because I know now, they are hurting me because of Cameron and now that Cameron is on my side, no need fighting them. "Ma..." I part my lips to speak but Berry's voice came up. "Don't listen to her ma. I was only going to apologize to her but she pushed me off, she is still very much mad at me for testifying against her.' My mouth dropped as I watched the principal's PA, consoling her and then asking me to go to the principal's officeI am frustrated but I really don't have any evidence to show that she was the one bullying me while she was the one crying. I just wish that I hurt her. I thought heading to the principal's office"You again." The principal yelled in anger as I stood before her."I thought yesterday was a mistake and I had sent my assistant to go search for you, to let you
Padgett's POV"Are you kidding me?" He said. "How could I let my baby do this and what the hell is wrong with that stupid principal? Let's go." He pulled my hand. "No Cam! I will get expelled and I have no one to foot my bills." I said stopping him."My parents will pay for it, and my dad is the biggest sponsor of the school, so they wouldn't dare." "Cam!" I said stopping him from dragging me out of here, I know his dad is one of the sponsors of this school but what I know, is Cathy; Cassie, and Berry, their parents are also wealthy, I really don't want to get into trouble."Fine then! Since the queen won't disobey, I will help." He said grabbing a mop stick and folding his sleeves so they wouldn’t get stained, I stared at him, as he mobs the floor pretty well."Stop admiring me, I know I am handsome." He said with a mockery tone, I frowned and then went back to what I was doing."I am not admiring you, I am only thinking, that you will make a good janitor,""What?" He screamed, then
Padgett's POV. "Emerald, come on, let's go to class." "Relax, let's wait for Ray." She said to stop me from dragging her to class. "Can you stop, at first you said let's wait for Alex, but now he is here, we should wait for Ray since when did Ray become your boyfriend?" "Will you keep quiet, you don't want Julia to ruin my face. Do you?" She asked playfully, as Ray and Julia walked in. "Whoa! The couple is finally here, so shall..." My words didn't finish when a student gave me a flower, I looked at her surprised, yet another; and another; my eyes opened wide as I watched them give me flowers. "Okay! So what is..." My words didn't finish, as I saw Cameron walk with my painted picture towards me, it was beautiful, a sight to behold, I fucking can't believe that I look super cute without the glass, Cameron must had spend a fortune to get me painted within a short period because I know he is not a painter, it's a lovely sight to behold, he is super handsome when he comes closer to m
