Maya's POV:
I was walking to Degrassi with Zig when Grace, Tiny and Jonah walked up to us. "Hey. Guess what?" Tiny looked at us. "It's spirit week starting today." I tensed up and stood there as last year's spirit week flashed through my memory.
Cam and Zig were playing against each other in floor hockey. Cam got angry and sucker punched Zig leading him to get suspended for the rest of the week. He commuted suicide the a few days after he was suspended.
I started tearing up and hugged Zig. He held me for awhile as I cried. I tried to fight the tears, but I couldn't. Cam meant everything to me and now he's gone. Zig tried to calm me down, but it didn't work that well.
"Maya, what's wrong?" I couldn't speak so Zig had to. "Her ex boyfriend died last year during spirit week. He committed suicide in the greenhouse. It's almost been a year since and Maya hasn't fully coped with it." Zig told them as he rubbed my back.
"Maya, it's okay. Cam would want you to be happy." Zig told me as I pulled away. I nodded and wiped my tears. "Maya, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-" I cut him off. "It's okay, Tiny. You didn't know." I walked inside ahead of everyone else. Zig was next to me and held my hand.
"I have an idea. Matlin, lets make a bet." I was hesitant. "Ok. What kind of bet?" Grace said that I had to get a guys number and kiss him. Zig didn't look too happy considering that he and I are dating. "Grace, I'm dating Zig." I told her as she smirked. "I know Matlin. Relax. It's harmless."
"What do I get if I win?" I asked, as Tiny, Zig and Jonah looked at the two of us. "Um...I will do your homework for a week, but If I win then you have to do mine." I nodded.
"Ok. Fine, but who?" She looked around and smirked. "That hockey player right there." I couldn't see his face until he looked at me. Cam? I thought as the boy looked up to me. I threw my bag down and ran towards him. "Maya?" He said, then smiled. "Cam, is it really you?" He nodded and I kissed him. It was so familiar. I missed this until I remember that I was dating Zig. "Maya, I've missed you." He said and I agreed with him, then I got angry.
I hit his arm. "What the hell? I thought you died." I said as my tears once again tried to fall, but this time I fought them back. "I'm fine, Maya. I came back to Degrassi for you. I left to get help in Kapuskasing and after I convinced my parents that I finally feel better, they let me come back. I'm now on anti-depressants and they seem to be working." I glared at him. "We need to talk after school. Can you come by my house?" He nodded, still smiling. Shit. I forgot that Zig still lived at my house. Damn it.
"Ok. See you then." I said and before I could walk away, he grabbed my arm. "Maya, I really did miss you and I'm so sorry for leaving." I pulled out of his hold and walked back over to Zig and the others. "You owe me. BIG TIME." I told Grace as I looked up at the catwalk that Cam fell off of right before he broke his arm, then I looked back at Grace and walked away.
All day my mind was wondering what happened. I still couldn't believe it. Cam was alive? What the hell?
During classes I noticed that Cam was in all of them and so was Zig. Great. This will be a long semester.
Cam looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. Zig texted me. Are you okay? You just walked away without saying anything. I texted him that I was fine. Cam texted me saying that he missed me. He still has the same number? Wow.
After a boring class of taking notes and an assignment, the bell finally rang. I got out of there first and walked down the hallway, spotting Tori and Tristan. "Is it just me, or does the hockey player kind of remind me of Cam?" I looked at her. "That's because it is Cam." I muttered. They looked shocked and couldn't talk for a while. "Are you serious?" I nodded and Tristan asked how Zig feels about it. "He doesn't know, but Cam and I kissed earlier." Tori looked at me. "It was a bet with Grace." She told me that she would be by my house later so I can tell her everything.
"Hey, Maya. I'll come by your house later." Cam said before he walked away. "Now you have to tell me everything."
"Hey, babe." Zig said putting his arm around me. "Hey." I said, as he smiled. "I was wondering if you wanted to hangout tonight." I nodded. "See you at home." I told him before he walked away.
Tori and Tristan looked even more shocked. "What was that all about?" Tori asked, enthusiastically. "Zig lives with me, Cam still has feelings for me and now I'm torn between both of them."
"Well, at least they aren't fighting over you like before." I glared at her. "Don't say that. That is the last thing I need. At least Zig doesn't know that Cam is back or that I kissed him. He would be pissed if he knew and then try and get into a fight and I don't need another spirit week 2013." I said, as Tori and Tristan looked at each other.
"I don't know what to tell you Maya. All I know is there is a hot guy in one of my classes and I'm nervous to talk to him." Tristan said as I laughed. "Like you were the first day you met Cam and thought you had a chance." Tristan pouted. "Sorry, but this guy is way hotter than any other guy at Degrassi." I raised an eyebrow.
"Hotter than Cam and/or Zig?" I replied as Tori exclaimed, "I knew that you still had feelings for him." Zig came up to us as I looked at him. I wonder if he heard the conversation.
"Feelings for who?" Zig asked, answering that question. "I was just telling Tori that I only had feelings for you-" I turned to look at her. "and ONLY you." I turned back to him and smiled. I love it when he's happy.
Later that day, we were at lunch. Tori and Tristan were sitting with Tiny, Grace, Jonah, Zig and myself. Jonah was dating Grace, Tiny was dating Shay, Zig and I were dating, Tori and Tristan were both single.
"How was your day?" Tiny asked me. Since I'm dating Zig, Tiny has been my friend. I knew that he was involved in Vince's gang, but I'm just so happy that my boyfriend is out of it. I've met Vince before and he didn't seem that dangerous to me-Zig told me that he was and that I should stay away from him-but that's probably because we weren't alone. I was worried about what could have happened if we were. Would Vince threaten me to force Zig back into the gang? Would he tell me to break up with him so he wouldn't be distracted if he was forced back into that life that he-and Tiny-tried so hard to get out of?
I spotted Cam looking at me with his puppy dog eyes. His sweet, warm chocolate brown eyes. I could get lost in them forever. Wait! Back up. I can't have feelings for Cam again. It's not going to happen. Not this time. My heart started racing and I looked away from him, breaking the eye contact.
This can't happen again.
