In The Air Tonight: Part II

Cam sat at his desk trying to figure out his chemistry homework. He dropped his pencil and ran his hands through his hair thinking about how he couldn't let Alli tutor him again considering what happened earlier in the week. He didn't want her to think of him as some loser who had an anger management problem and panic attacks.

"Campbell?" A woman's voice asked as she tapped her knuckles on the door.

Cam stared down at his paper and then turned around in his chair. He cleared his throat trying to hold back his emotions. "Yeah?"

The blonde haired lady entered the room and took a seat at the edge of his bed. "What happened?"

Cam didn't say anything he just looked down at his floor.

"Campbell I need to know why you got suspended." the woman pushed.

Cam swallowed once more. "Simpson already told you..." he mumbled as he still avoided eye contact.

The woman sighed. "Yes but...I would like to hear you're side of the story."

Cam shrugged and remained silent.

"I can't help you if you don't talk to me."

Cam looked up at his current guardian. "I guess I just wasn't thinking and let my instincts get the best of me. I'm sorry, Mrs. Clarkson."

Mrs. Parks sighed. "Campbell I just wanted to make sure you're okay. Is there anything the kid may of done to you?"

Cam looked back down. "No."

The woman let out another big sighed. "Well..." she started out. "you may want to give you're mother a call."

The next morning at school Maya walked into her English class. She saw Tori and Tristan sitting together, as always, and Zig was sitting in the far corner. She sighed and before she really knew what she was doing she took the seat next to Zig. She looked behind her to see Tori and she saw her quickly move her eyes back down to the paper.

"Alright class, please take out your book reports and turn to the person next to you to start your peer edit.

'Damn.' Maya thought. The one day she actually sat next to him it was a peer edit...

Zig opened up his backpack and grabbed his folder. "Okay you want to you first or should I?"

For a moment Maya didn't say anything. She was too busy thinking about what may of made Cam break-up with her like that. She tried convincing herself he was just another Drew but no matter how many times she told her self Cam wasn't worth it she just couldn't bring herself to believe it.

"Maya?" Zig asked.

She shook her head and then fished in her backpack for her own folder. After she found it she told Zig he could go first. She spaced-out again while he was trying to find his rough draft.

"Did you say anything?" Maya asked.

Zig looked up to face her. "Huh?"

"Did you say anything to Cam?"

"When?" Zig asked still confused.

"After the Spirit Week game."

Zig let out a small laugh. "Talk? No." Zig shook his head. "I don't think he wanted to talk to me, he was too busy trying to break my ribs."

Maya didn't say anything.

"Why? Did he say anything?"

Maya shook her head. "Second thought, I'll go first."

"Can you believe that?" Tori asked as Tristan was going through his own papers.

He looked up and noticed Maya and Zig's desks right next to each other.

"I mean Cam's been suspended for what? Like three-ish days now and she's already cheating on him."

Tristan rolled his eyes. "Some people just don't know how a relationship works. I thought it was Zig but I guess it's Maya too."

Tori stayed silent as she watched Zig and Maya edit each other's paper.

"You know?" Tristan said as he corrected a mistake on his friends paper. "Too bad Cam is going to have to deal with it when he gets back."

Zig walked across the street after school and spotted Cam sitting on one of the benches.

"Maya seem's happy." Zig commented as he stopped in front of Cam.

"Oh?" Cam replied as he refused to make eye-contact.

"Yeah, smiling pretty much everyday."

"Maybe cause you finally got what you deserved during the Spirit Week." Cam snapped.

"You mean when you turned all psycho?" Zig asked.

There it was again. That word. Psycho. That's what he was, he was a psycho and Maya deserved better.

"She was there and she saw every second of it. She saw you attack me, everyone did."

Cam remained silent.

"You act like you're some cool NHL jock but in reality you're just psychotic. And I suggest you get rid of the act, it may be fooling some of you're hockey team mates but not me. Not Maya."

Cam remained still as he looked down at the side-walk. He didn't even noticed Zig had already walked away. But even thought he was gone Cam still couldn't get that word out of his head.
