Chapter Two:

It's Cameron. It's Cameron.

It's not like I'm scared of him. But his fan girls would hate me and I'll get in trouble.

"Do not call me that! I'll go and switch the partners right away.", I turn around and that's when Mr. Singh, our history teacher comes to me. "Madeline, the partners are not going to be changed at any cost. So, All The Best!", he leaves.

I look at Cameron and he smirks as he raises his eyebrow. I sigh and I look at Liv. "I'm gonna go enjoy my icecream. I hope you two get along well!", she leaves with Chris. Cameron says,"You might have prayed alot for this, right?" I'd never pray for such a thing!", I argue. "Yeah, whatever!", he rolls his eyes. How can someone be that confident? He should see himself through my eyes, he'll lose his confidence in a bit.

I'm engrossed in my revision on my way home. I hear screams that interrupt my revision. I look around to see where they're coming from, and across the lane, I see a lady completely frightened screaming. "My Baby! My Baby! Help, please!"

I sprint towards the baby's stroller, my heart pounding. I look at the direction she's looking at and... A baby's stroller is going from the lane making it's way to the main road. I sprint and somehow manage to catch the trolley just in time, preventing any harm from coming to the baby. The mother, tears of relief streaming down her face, rushes over and hugs her child tightly, thanking me with her voice shivering.

Would my Mom be worried and cry like this if I was in such situation?

At night, I sit alone on my desk doing my homework, and the sudden sound of the TV turning on downstairs sends chills down my spine. With a racing heart, I cautiously make my way down, fearing the worst. I make my way slowly to the living room with squeaky steps. To my surprise, it's Liv, sitting there in her pajamas with a backpack filled with clothes.

"Liv! How did you get in here?!", I search if I've left any of the windows and doors open.

"Chill, Mads. Mrs. Miller gave me the keys and asked me to stay with you until she returns. Come on let's watch the TV.", she says as she makes her way to the fridge.

"I'm making plans for the History project. Have you and Chris decides yet? Where to go?  When to go?", I say as I come down the stairs. "Nope. Not yet. I'm inviting Chris here, this Saturday night.", she says casually. "As of the Saturday tomorrow? Like are you kidding me?!", I'm shocked. I've never had a boy over at my house.

"Also...Cameron's coming over too."

"WHAT?! Cameron? Why? We discussed I'm about to change partners soon."

"When I called Chris for the project, Cameron was right there and he said he'll come over too. Chris told me that Cameron didn't wanted to attend the party at his house that Saturday and also Cameron lied that he'll be with his friends for the project to get away. So, yeah. That's what happened.", she says as she closes the bottle cap and lays down on the couch again.

"Okay! I'll just go and make list of things we'll discuss tomorrow." I run up the stairs. Oh, I forgot. I come back down. "When are they coming over?" "In the morning I guess, I'll ask Chris and let you know."

I'm so excited, this time I'll complete the project before anyone else and submit it before the deadline and get extra points. Yeah! I am HAPPY!
