Let me tell you a secret.
I never did anything to Cam Fisher.

Cabo San Lucas International Airport
7:56 AM
"Good morning," said the flight attendant through the loudspeaker. "Welcome to Cabo san Lucas. It is now 7:56 AM here in Cabo and the temperature is 82 degrees. We thank you for choosing Mexico Air, have a safe vacation." I rubbed my eyes and looked around. Dylan was cuddling with Plovert, Claire was with Kemp sharing iPod headphones, Alicia and Josh were both asleep; so were Kristen and Derrick. I looked to my left and laughed. There was Cam with a big drool blob on his cheek.
"Guys, wake up!" I whisper-yelled. It was 7:56 AM and we'd been on a plane for 11 hours, but I was too excited to sleep.
"Go away!" shouted Dylan, rubbing her eyes and yawning.
"I'm right here, please don't shout," said Plovert. "because if you're going to be cranky, you can take it out on Josh. He's the one who booked the red eye to Cabo anyways."
Josh rolled his eyes and stretched. "Just be glad we're here and you don't have to spend a dime."
"Yeah, thank Anita for us, J," said Derrick.
"Hey, so where are we staying?" asked Kristen.
"Knowing Josh, probably a three-star bungalow infested with bugs and vermin—" Alicia was cut off by Josh, kissing her to shut up. I love them. Haha.
"Hey. Lovebirds. Move." Said Cam.
"Don't get grumpy," I smiled at him. I leaned into him to smell his Drakkar Noir cologne and kissed him.
"Massie, not now!" said Cam, pulling away.
"Fine," I pouted. "Hey Alicia, let's go make out with Spanish boys!"
"Yeah Mass, because we ain't seniors no more!"
"Oh hell, no!" I laughed, and we skipped to grab our bags.
Dylan plopped down on the baggage claim belt. "Can someone carry me?" She rubbed her eyes again and curled up in a ball, using her carry-on as a pillow.
Plovert sat next to her. "Whose gonna carry you when I'm across the country next year?"
"Me!" I shouted and hugged Dylan, which was considerably hard as Dylan was all rolled up. "And by the way Chris, Stanford is for math geeks. Not you."
"Yeah Massie, have fun carrying that fatty around NYU," laughed Kristen.
"Dylan isn't fat," Alicia said, sitting down and rolling her eyes. "and if anyone's been gaining weight here, it's me." Alicia looked up, expecting an 'Are-you-kidding-Leesh-you-are-so-nawt-fat' statement from one of us.
"Maybe it's your boobs," pointed out Dylan, laying down.
"Or maybe it's the birth control pills," laughed Claire. "Uh, I mean… um… vitamins…" she said when she remembered the guys were still in front of us.
"Thanks," Alicia hissed at her, exchanging looks with Josh. "I'm gonna go get our bags," said Josh uncomfortably.
"I'll go help him!" said the guys. Once they left, we all huddled around Alicia.
"You're on the pill and didn't tell me?" I whisper-hissed. "But you tell Kuh-laire?" I made a face at Claire.
"I was gonna tell you all eventually," blushed Alicia. "but Claire was the one across from me on the plane, so…"
"Whatever," I said, acting like I didn't care what pills Alicia was on. "just tell me when you finally do it."
"Oh I will," Alicia said through gritted teeth. "when you stop acting like you aren't a virgin," shot Alicia, with emphasis on the word 'aren't.' "because you told me last week that Cam liked to keep his clothes on."
"Alicia…" As if on cue, the belt started to move and everyone sitting on it lurched forward.
We burst out laughing, and they temporarily forgot to give me any crap about the Cam thing.
The weird thing was, he had been acting strange lately. Like he didn't want to talk to me around my friends, or anything like that. I wasn't sure if I did something wrong. I guess I thought that he was upset that we were all going different ways.
It turned out I was wrong.

Casa de los Maras Resort&Spa
8:27 AM
"Oh my god," Claire breathed when she walked in the suite. "This is beautiful!"
I followed behind her. "This is the presidential suite? It's huge!"
Alicia wiggled her way past me and ran through a set of doors. "Me and Josh get a room with a view!"
I looked at Cam, but he was texting. I sighed. "Cam? Which one do we want?"
"Just pick. I don't care," Cam said, not looking up from his phone. He tossed it on a sofa and walked away. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom."
As soon as Cam left the great room, I grabbed his phone and started to look through his sent messages
CAM: I no, im excited 4 tonite
CAM: dont mind her. She's 2 stupid to figur it out
CAM: sure she's hot, but ur prettier :)
CAM: so my group is going 2 the zone nite club
CAM: meet me ther 11
CAM: I luv u
So who is this mystery girl he's meeting?
"What are you doing?"
I looked up, startled, to see Cam towering over me. It was okay, I had this. I could smooth talk my way out. "I was just getting Strawberry's number. She said she had a really good low calorie yogurt recipe and I wanted to get it." I searched his face to see if he believed me… Bingo.
"Whatever. Just leave my stuff alone!" he snapped, grabbing his enV out of my hands.
But something snapped inside of me. "Why are you acting like there's something to hide, Cam? Do you not trust me anymore? Because I never did anything. You're just acting like such a jerk. We're supposed to be having fun, we just graduated high school and you're acting like a chick whose PMS-ing! Grow up, Cam!"
And just like that, Cam did something none of us thought he could do. Derrick said he didn't think Cam had it in him. I guess he did. Anyways, Cam slapped me across the face. Just like that.
I rubbed my cheek, where it was red and it stung from the collision of hand and face.
I bit my lip and looked up at Cam, expecting him to be shocked, and startled. But there was no trace of emotion on his face. I stared at my feet while he turned around and walked out of the suite.
I hadn't noticed my friends staring at me. They all walked in on us, I'm guessing they all saw what happened.
"Nobody say a word," I said, wearily, and walked away.

The collision of hand and face. Bahahaha.
Eh. I didn't like it. Don't give me crap for a chapter I didn't like. :) Oh well. We had to start somewhere.
Re to the View.
