Hi! This is my new Camaya story. It takes after Waterfalls Part 1. I know that was ages ago but I started it after the episode came out and only just finished it. So this is my take on what happens after! It follows what happens afterwards slightly, but a lot of it comes out of my brain. SO, I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1 - Operation Avoid Campbell Saunders

"Tori, what did I do?" I sighed. After my chaperoned date with Cam, I needed expert advice, and who else could I turn to apart from my crazy, curly haired best friend? "Things were going so well after we ditched Katie. Ugh, I feel so stupid!" I growled, falling backwards on my bed.

"You didn't do anything, Maya. It was his fault; you know how I feel about those hockey players. They're all jerks." I couldn't help but think that Cam was different, he wasn't one of those jerks but maybe I was wrong.

"Yeah, I suppose you're right."

As Tori was rambling on about how I deserved more than Campbell Saunders and he was like all the other jocks the only thing I could think of was Cam opening up to me the night before about his brother in the photo booth. The way he spoke was so full of passion and emotion and he wanted to tell me about it but I had to ruin it by trying to kiss him when he obviously wasn't interested.

"Oh, Tor how could I think any boy, especially the gorgeous Ice Hounds star Campbell Saunders, would want to kiss plain old dorky me?" I said, wallowing in self-pity.

"Maya, stop that talk now. You're beautiful and that dick Cam doesn't deserve you. If he tries to talk to you in school tomorrow, just ignore him."

"But I have French with him tomorrow,"

"Well then it'll be a very quiet French lesson cause you need to show him you're bigger than this."

Could I actually do this? I doubt I could actually restrain myself from talking to him once I saw his gorgeous big brown eyes, it was like they put me in a trance and I couldn't help but be mad at him.

"You can do this Maya." Tori said, putting her hand on my arm as if she was reading my mind. She was right. I could do this.

The next day was incredibly hard; it was like the universe was playing a trick on me. After promising myself I would ignore Campbell Saunders all day, he was everywhere. He was in the halls everywhere I went. This was getting tiring, finding different routes to my classes whenever he was there and I must've been late for at least three of my classes.

Lunch was probably the easiest part of the day. Whisperhug had band practice in the music rooms and I knew Cam had a hockey meeting in the gym so I could relax for an hour. Or so I thought. There was still a pang in my stomach knowing that I had French with Campbell after practice, so I couldn't focus.

"Maya, you keep getting out of time. What's wrong with you today?" Mo interrupted in the middle of one of our songs.

"What?" I said, in a daze. I had been thinking of all the possible ways French could go and all of them so far had been horrible. "Oh, sorry. I'm just a bit out of it today I guess." I said, focusing back into reality.

"Well, I guess we could let out early for today? None of us are really up for it today." Mo suggested. A low grumble of 'yeah, okay's' erupted in the room. "Well, okay. Make sure you're ready for a busy practice on Monday then guys."

I was surprised that Mo didn't get angry with me, but I quickly packed up my cello and ran out of the practice room. Hey, who was I to complain? To make matters worse, I bumped into the one person who I really didn't want to see.

"Maya, just the girl I was looking for." Not in the eyes, Maya. Don't look in his big brown eyes.

"Well, erm I really need to go… um…" Quick, think of something! "Erm, I have to get something from the lost and found." I said, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear while looking at Cam's worn out converse.

"Oh, okay well I'll come with." He said sweetly. Maya, don't give in, do not give in! I could feel my eyes being drawn upwards.

"That's okay. I can manage myself." I said quickly, running off in the opposite direction of the lost and found.

I wasn't really paying attention to where my feet were taking me, but I then found myself in a stall in the girls' bathroom. I took a few deep breaths to calm my nausea. Okay, Maya, that was good. Just keep that up in French and you should be okay as long as you run out as soon as the bell goes. After a few minutes the bell went so I went to the sinks and sprayed a bit of water on my face, preparing myself for an hour of personal hell.

I kept my eyes on the floor as I walked into the French classroom and quickly sat down at my seat in the front row avoiding all eye contact with a certain hockey player who was sitting in the back row.

"Bonjour la classe. Ouvrez vos livres à la page trente-cinq." Madame Mathieu said, walking through the door of the class.

I quickly got my textbook out of my bag and stated to find the page I needed.

"Maya, can I share your textbook?" Tristan piped up next to me.

"What?!" I gasped, "How could you forget your textbook? You never forget anything!" I said sarcastically. Tristan always forgetting his school supplies and somehow never got in trouble.

"You know me." He teased as we got to work.

French wasn't as bad as I thought it would be; Tristan was a great distraction from Cam. That was until he decided to mention him.

"Why is Campbell not sitting with us today?" Tristan said randomly in the middle of our conversation. "Did the date not go well?"

I sighed. There was no point lying to Tristan, I knew Tori would tell him when he asked her after class anyway.

"Well I thought it did, I mean we were really hitting it off after we ditched Katie,"

"Ooh, yeah I heard Katie tagged along. Cringey or what?" Tris commented.

"Oh my God I know! She was so embarrassing. She was so horrible to him and then asked him if he was a virgin!" He scrunched his face up in embarrassment. "But anyway that's besides the point. So we were really hitting it off and getting closer so I leaned in but he down right rejected me. I don't understand Tris, I thought he wanted to kiss me, but maybe he's just like all the other hockey jerks." I sighed. "Well, that's what Tori said, so she told me to ignore him all day but it's so hard. He's everywhere!"

Tristan paused in thought, taking everything in. "Well, I don't think he's just like all the other hockey jerks. And I don't think you think that either." I looked away. I didn't think that, but it was the easiest explanation for all of this. "And if it helps, he's been staring at you with those puppy dog eyes all lesson." He smiled as my stomach flipped. "Just talk to him. I'm sure there is a very good reason why he didn't kiss you last night. And he obviously isn't over you."

Maybe Tristan was right. I mean, Cam did come and see me after band practice. If he really wasn't interested he wouldn't have come. Or offered to take me to the lost and found. And also, if he was playing me, doesn't that mean he would've kissed me then ditched me?

A thousand thoughts raced through my mind and I couldn't help turn around and see if what Tristan had told me was true.

He was right, there he was looking right at me with that puppy dog look that made me melt every time. It took him a few seconds to realise that we had locked eyes but it didn't take him long to give me a sad little smile. After that, I couldn't help myself; I knew I couldn't just get up and go and speak to him in the middle of French class, so I just mouthed to him. "Talk to you after class?" He looked surprised but nodded nonetheless.

"Wow, that was intense." Tristan said, bursting the bubble I had surrounded myself in that I called 'Campbell Saunders'.

"Shut up Tris," I said lightly. "Now where were we?" I said, getting back to work on our French assignment.

Aaah. Okay so that was chapter one. How was it? Worth carrying on? I have a few more chapters written so if people like it, I'll definitely put them up!

Anywaaaay, thanks for reading!
