CAM

"Cam, Cam, Cam, Cam, Cam, Cam, Cam, Cam, Cam. CAM!" yelled Belle shaking me awake at seven in the morning. "You need to wake up now if you want this date to be perfect!"

I just groaned and rolled over. "C'mon, Campbell, do it for Maya! Don't you want her to fall in love with you? You're gonna need a perfect day to do it!" Belle encouraged, shoving my shoulder one more time.

What she said really got to me. I really wanted Maya to fall for me the way I'd fallen for her, and even if she didn't, Maya deserved an amazing with all the crap she'd been going through. "Okay, I'm up!"

"Lovely," Belle smirked in triumph. "Go shower, get dressed, and I'll have breakfast ready in 30. Then, we have some planning to do!" With that she promptly danced right out my door.

Belle sat there across the breakfast bar with a notebook while I finished my eggs, bacon, and toast. "Okay, so what time is her curfew again?"

"Her parents like me, so they extended it to 11:30 for tonight," I answered with a mouth full of Bush's.

"Great so here's the general plan," Belle said, and passed the notebook over. In her neat cursive it read:

12:30 Pickup Maya

1:00 Picnic and ROMANTIC walk in the park

2:30 Return to base

3:00 House to yourself (don't be stupid, Campbell Blake Saunders!)

6:00 Dinner and show at the Dot

8:00 Ice Time

11:00 Return to Maya's house

"And some general pointers," Belle continued. "Get back to her house at least 10 minutes early to get on the Matlins' good side. You may also want to find a new jacket because after tonight that TIH one will belong to her."

I smiled at the thought of Maya Matlin walking around the halls of Degrassi wearing my jacket. I stood up and went to go hug Belle, "Thanks for all of this," I said.

She squeezed me tight, but I didn't care. "Anytime, kiddo. Now go get a head start on your assignments, so I don't completely fail as a billet mother," shooing me upstairs.

MAYA

The night before had been a little hectic in the Matlin house. My dad had gone with my mom for some overnight testing and wouldn't be back until the next afternoon. That's why at 15 past midnight when I heard a key turn while I was watching reruns of That 70s Show, I grabbed the nearest heavy object, a decorative vase, and proceeded carefully towards the front door.

The door flung open, and there stood my older brother. "Oh my Maya!" he singsonged then dropped his duffel bag and came to hug me.

"Gosh, Ian," I said. "You almost gave me a heart attack!" I set down the vase.

"Maya! What's with all the noise?" Katie called from upstairs.

Ian ran to hug his other sister, "Hurricane Katrina!"

"It's Katie," she said through gritted teeth. "No one has called Katrina since I was six."

"Except me," Ian smirked while wrapping his arms around her, and Katie stuck a finger between his ribs.

"Well you two have fun, I'm going to bed. Night, Ian! Night, Katrina!" I called walking around them and up the stairs.

Katie glared up at me, "Fine, Mrs. Saunders. Go get your beauty sleep, and I'll get our brother settled in."

"Sounds like a plan to me!" I called, and then slammed the door to my room shut.

When Cam knocked on the front door at exactly 12:30 the next day, I was ready.

Ian and Katie raced to the door, but Ian ultimately won by shoving Katie over the back of the couch. He opened the door with ease and said, "Oh thank God, it's you! But I swear if you forgot the pork in the pork fried rice, I will throw you into the neighbor's porch."

Campbell stared for a couple seconds, then slowly backed away, saying "Sorry, wrong house."

At that point, I shoved past Ian and got to Campbell, "Don't listen to my brother, he's a tool."

Ian smiled and stuck his hand out, "Ian Mitchell Matlin, son of James and Lily, overprotective brother of Katrina and Maya."

"KATIE!" my sister screamed from the other room.

Cam shook his hand, "Campbell Blake Saunders, son of Rick and Mara, older brother of Kyle, Violet, and Tessa." I gave him a look; I didn't know he had any siblings, let alone three of them, well then again I never mentioned anything to him about Ian.

I grabbed Cam's arm and started pulling him away from the door, "Bye, Ian! Bye, Katie! Don't wait up!"

"Be good to my sister, Cam!" Ian yelled from the doorway before closing it.

"Okay, so what are we doing today?" I questioned Cam. I still had my hand on his arm but now he was leading me. Then I saw it…. The black electric scooter parked in front of my house. "Omigosh. Cam, tell me this isn't yours?"

He laughed, "No, my billet mom let me steal it for the day. Cam reached over and grabbed a sky blue helmet, he secured it on my head for me, and probably ruining the hair Katie had spent an hour, but I didn't care. Just the fact that he did it for me was one of the sweetest things I'd ever seen.

"Wait," I said. "I thought you were only 15, how can you drive this thing?" Then mentally kicked myself, dammit, Maya, why do you always have to ruin the moment.

He smiled that trademark Campbell Saunders grin that made me melt inside and said, "Good question, Miss Matlin, according to the law here, I am allowed to drive this thing with no license as long as I don't go over 32 mph."

"Do you plan on sticking to that rule, Mr. Saunders?" I sniped.

He gestured for me to climb on, "Depends on if there's any cops in the area."

I laughed, "Sounds like a good plan to me!"

"Okay, let's get going. We have a strict schedule to stick to if you want to have the perfect day." I honestly didn't care if we were going to the library, I was with Cam, this was going to be the perfect day no matter what.
