Chapter 4

Cam's POV

My ears perked up when she says "I'm Maya"

"I'm Cam," I can barely hold in how excited I am; she is talking to me. I thought she would think I was like a stalker bumping into her twice and then just randomly talking to her

"Cam? Is that short for something?" she asks curiously.

"Ya, it's short for Campbell" I say nervously. I rub my head, she is going to walk away now and is going to think that I have a really stupid name and is never going to speak to me again.

"Campbell? Like the soup?" She says. That is all she says not some stupid crack at my name but just how to pronounce it.

Before I can stop I blurt out, "Um ya see when my mom was pregnant with me all she could eat was Campbell soup and so she thought it would be cute to name me after the soup." I pause; yes Cam just go into your whole life story why don't you. Because that is what girls care about! "Thinking about it now I wish she would have named something more common"

I am about to groan and walk away for being so stupid when she surprises me and says "No I like it, it is different from other names"

A cute blush creeps on her face "I mean who wants to be like everyone else right?"

I can't help but be mesmerized by how different she is I vaguely hear myself say "Ya well I will keep that in mind"

She quickly looks at her watch and I realize that classes will probably be starting soon and she confirms my suspicions, "Well I have to get to class"

"Oh ya me too, but I will see you around?" I give her a nervous smile; I really hope she can't tell how nervous I am.

All I hear her says is "Ya." What does that mean? Is that like ya in your dreams kind of ya? Or maybe ya if I wanna be stalked by a lunatic. Crap! I must have scared her off, maybe I should find her and apologize for being scary? What does that make sense?

I am lost in thought when I see Maya and this guy talking down the hall. A very attractive guy I might add! Maybe she is just talking to a friend?

I try to calm myself down when he suddenly takes her hand. Or maybe they are dating?

I am so busy thinking about Maya and that guy I barely hear Dallas come up to me and say, "Yo rookie"

I force a smile "Hey man" he follows my gaze down the hall.

He smiles and says "I don't think he stands a chance with her"

Before I can respond her is already turning the corner. I look back down the hall I see Maya shake her head and disappear into class. Maybe Dallas isn't all that bad.
