A/N: I really enjoy your guys' thoughts on the story so far. :) I appreciate all the reviews you guys leave, and the opinions you offer. Thank you so much for reading, and here's Chapter Two of Part Two of "Even for Just a Moment".


{Hollingsworth Mansion - Toronto}

{Miles Hollingsworth III}

Miles sat at his desk in his room. He was working on some homework that he didn't actually care about. He just needed an excuse to not have dinner with his father and some important men and women he needed to speak to. His mother believed the excuse. His father? His father made up the excuse. Miles shook his head as his phone buzzed, and he saw Zoe's name pop up. That's the fiftieth text today. Miles picked up his phone and tossed it away. One date! One damn date and she's clinging on me.

Miles rose from his seat and moved over to his bed. He sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair. That Maya Matlin girl...she's very cute. He smirked to himself. I need to know more about her. She's definitely not like Zoe. Miles furrowed his eyebrows. I hear she's got a boyfriend. Miles sat up. He shook his head. That's not a good idea...but...Miles smirked. If her boyfriend isn't a good one...

Miles groaned as he heard his phone buzz. Damn it, Zoe! He walked over to his phone, and rose his eyebrows when he saw that it was a text from Winston "Chewy" Chu. His friend. At least it's not Zoe. I don't think I've seen Chewy since school began...I wonder who he hangs out with. Miles opened up the text. Miles! Hey, man. What's up? Haven't seen you. Miles smiled a bit. He typed up a reply. Chewy! I know, we need to talk and catch up. Who do you hang out w/ at lunch? After waiting for a moment, Miles got a reply. Campbell Saunders and his girlfriend, Maya Matlin. I think you know her? Miles rose his eyebrows. Chewy knows Maya?

Miles shook his head before replying. Yeah, I met her. She nice? Miles pondered as he awaited Winston's reply. I wonder if he's a good boyfriend to her. He looked down as he got a reply. Yeah, very. She's really close to her bf Cam too. Miles stood up from his bed and sighed. Bf, huh? He's a good guy? Yeah! Great. How are you and that one rich girl? Zoe? Eh. She's clingy. But that means she cares, bro. Miles sighed. Clingy as in, we went on ONE date. Did you call her after it? Psh. No. Don't let her go. Go after her. It's not her I want.

Who, then? Miles stopped himself. I can't tell Chewy. He knows her. He's probably really close to the couple. Miles groaned. You don't know her. Daughter of dad's friend. Got to go eat dinner. See you whenever. He sent the text, and dropped his phone on his bed before walking out of his room. I have to get her. I always get what I want. Always.

{Degrassi Community School - Toronto}

{Maya Matlin}

Maya smiled as she entered the school. She was there earlier than usual, but she wanted to be there before Cam was, so she could get to him. She took a breath as she approached his locker. Chewy was barely arriving at his locker, turning the lock for the combination. Maya stood by Cam's locker, leaning against it a bit. "Good morning, Chewy." She smiled. Chewy nearly jumped, but smiled when he saw Maya.

"Good morning," he nodded a bit before opening his locker, "waiting for Cam?" Maya nodded. "You really like him, don't you?"

"I love him." Maya sighed dreamily. She felt her phone buzz, and saw a text from Cam. I'm at school. I'll wait for you at my locker. :) Maya smiled widely as she read the text. "I decided to surprise him today by getting here first," she laughed gently, "plus, I wasn't going to turn down an earlier ride to school."

"You take the bus?" Chewy asked, grabbing stuff from his locker before closing it. He leaned against his, looking at Maya.

"Yeah," Maya rolled her eyes, "but my friend Tristan offered to take me to school today." She smiled. Maya opened her mouth to speak again, until she felt a pair of arms at her waist. She smiled and turned slowly, facing Cam. "Hey, you," she giggled, "surprise." She gave him a quick kiss.

"Hey," Cam smiled, he looked over at Chewy and nodded at him. Chewy nodded back. "I almost didn't believe it was you standing here," Cam laughed a bit, "I never see you in the morning." He sighed, intertwining his fingers with her. "I thought Chewy was flirting with someone." Maya laughed.

"Unless greeting me 'Good morning' is flirting, it's all good." Maya smiled as Cam opened his locker. "How have you been? How have you been feeling?" Maya asked. Cam took a breath before glancing at Chewy, who gave a slight nod. Cam took a deep breath, and exhaled.

"I've been great." Cam smiled, squeezing Maya's hand gently. He grabbed a book from his locker before closing it. "How are you? How'd you get here early?"

"Tristan," Maya smiled, "he's been busy because the Drama Department has been inviting people to join and of course Tristan would join." Maya looked over at Chewy. "Tristan is one of our friends, but he's never there at lunch because of the Drama Department," she smiled, "you'll probably meet him soon. He's in our grade."

Chewy nodded. "Sounds familiar." He added.

Maya turned to Cam, and smiled. "And I'm doing great." She giggled gently. "Keeping everything drama free this year, right?" Cam nodded and Maya smiled. The two turned to Chewy. Chewy was looking down at his phone. "Hey," Maya began, "Cam and the Ice Hounds have a game coming up," she smiled, "would you want to go? Hang out with me and our friend Tristan?" Chewy's eyes lit up, and he smiled.

"I'd like that." He said.

Good job, Matlin! Maya smiled before looking over at Cam. "I should start walking to class, you know how far it is." She shook her head.

"Are you sure you don't want me to walk with you?" Cam asked. "I know that your class is pretty far." He added. "And you'll be alone and then there's that guy Miles..." Cam's voice trailed off. Maya sighed.

"Don't worry about him." Maya said softly. "Chewy said there's nothing to worry about, right?" Chewy nodded. "And if you don't want me to walk alone..." Maya turned to Chewy, "where's your first class?" She asked.

"The other side of the school." Chewy sighed. "Crap, I need to start going." He shook his head.

"I can walk with Chewy." Maya said. "Okay?" Cam nodded, giving Maya a tight hug. He gave her a quick kiss, and smiled as he let her go. "I'll see you at lunch, okay?" Cam nodded again. "I love you."

"I love you too." Cam smiled.

Maya turned to Chewy and nodded. The two began walking. "You really love Cam." Chewy smiled. "He really loves you too."

Maya smiled. "You think?" Chewy nodded. He slipped his hands into his pocket, and took a breath. This year will be free of drama. It'll be just me, Cam, Tristan, and Chewy. No Miles. No Zoe. Nobody is going to get in between me and Cam. Nobody.

{Zoe Rivas}

Zoe flipped her short brown hair over her shoulder. She rolled her eyes as she saw Maya Matlin walk in. She immediately turned to Miles, who was watching Maya walk in. God, he looks like a hungry dog. Zoe pouted. I can't believe her! She has a boyfriend, and now Miles likes her? She's got both of their hearts while I have none! Zoe smirked as Maya sat down. Well, if I can take away one, I can take away the other, right? She looked over at Miles. Obviously I can't get him right now. Zoe shook her head. But there's Campbell Saunders, right? I can take him away. Definitely.

Zoe took a breath before looking at her freshly manicured nails. All I've got to do is show him I can be just like Maya. Even though I wouldn't want to dress like that reject. Zoe smirked. I've got a plan.

Zoe waited at the door for Maya. She looked around the room as her fellow peers packed up and left to go to whatever class they had next. "Maya!" Zoe smiled as she saw Maya. "Hey," she said, "can we talk while we walk?" Maya raised her eyebrows. She was obviously shocked.

"Uh, sure." Maya furrowed her eyebrows as she walked alongside Zoe. Zoe smiled as they left the classroom. Her smile fell when she saw Winston Chu, Miles's friend. She didn't exactly know him, but she had heard of him from Miles. Miles only talked about his adventures with Winston. What about the fun he had on their first date? Zoe pouted. "Hey, Chewy." Maya smiled at Winston.

"Hey, Maya!" Winston smiled back before walking on.

"Chewy?" Zoe raised her eyebrows. "Ooh la la, do you like him?" She teased.

Maya laughed, "I have a boyfriend."

"Oh I know." Zoe said curtly, stopping. Maya stopped, furrowing her eyebrows before turning to Zoe. "And I want him." She said, smiling. "And I'll get him." She added. She looked Maya in the eye. "Campbell Saunders will be mine, and you can have Miles Hollingsworth." She said. "He likes you, and unfortunately you don't like him." Zoe added. "I like Miles, but I can't have him, so I'll take your Ice Hound boyfriend away from you."

Maya began laughing. "You really think you can do that?"

"I know I can do that." Zoe said confidently.

"Good luck trying." Maya rolled her eyes. She turned away from Zoe, and left.

"What a bitch." Zoe mumbled. She flipped her hair, fixed her purse, and began walking. "You'll never know what hit you, Maya Matlin."

Get ready for heartbreak.
