Chapter 7: Make My Mark
Monday,
Yasmin could barely talk to Cameron. Cameron only glances and waves at her from distances but doesn't speak. They parted away to their friends and just talked to them…well after Sasha and Cameron shared French kisses.
Tuesday,
Yasmin seen Cameron in the hall at his locker during break and wanted to talk, but Dylan and Eitan zipped over to him and ran off to the outside cafeteria. Her friends were wonder why the guys were hanging away from them. Yasmin's feelings were crushed. If only she could tell him how that kiss was a mistake, but was he having any feelings for her?
Wednesday,
After school that day, Cameron went to Dylan's house to chill with him.
"So, how you feeling today, my dude?" Dylan asked as he dropped his backpack on the floor by the bar stool at the counter in the kitchen.
"Fine, I guess." Cameron sat on one of the bar stools and Dylan did the same. Dylan's mom Jasmine was in the kitchen making the boys some after school snacks, something that she always does ever since Dylan started inviting friends over to his house. "Hello Mrs. Montez." Cameron waved.
"Hey boys, how was school?" Jasmine asked.
"Same as always, cliques, couples and stupid stuff." Cameron said as he shrugged. Dylan's mom always listened to Dylan's friends like they were her kids. She wished she had more kids, Dylan is the only child.
"Oh? Were you two involved in that stuff?" Jasmine asked as she was cutting up tomatoes for sandwiches.
"Nah, why would we, mom?" Dylan swished out a hand. Jasmine laughed at her son's sarcasm.
"Okay boys, I made you two a couple of sandwiches and Dylan you know where the chips are and a full glass of lemonade." Jasmine sat a tray of snacks to go with the sandwiches.
"Thanks, Mrs. Montez, you know you have the best lemonade." Cameron said taking a sip.
"Well thank you," Jasmine smiled and walked into her room that was down the black and white checker tiled hallway.
Cameron took a bite out if the sandwich consisted of honey ham, tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, Italian mustard, mozzarella cheese, and small slices of cucumber and pickle on an Italian hoagie bun. Dylan threw Cameron a bag of Funyon Rings and grabbed himself a bag of cool ranch Doritos and sat down next to his friend.
"So, how you feeling? For real this time," Dylan asked.
"Well, I do actually hate the fact that I'm ignoring her, I just want to keep focus on Sasha and not ruin anything." Cameron opened the bag of chips and popped one into his mouth.
"Well what are you going to do?" Dylan stared at him glaring his hazel eyes at him. Seriously how does he get those color eyes and he's the color of dark caramel? Cameron always wondered by that each time Dylan looks at him.
"I just want to tell her that we're only going to stay friends." Cameron said.
"That's the best way to go, my dude." Dylan bit into the sandwich.
"Right." Cameron looked down at his thighs. "But what if I really do have feeling for Yasmin? Will that make me a bad person since I like already have a girlfriend?"
"Technically no, but it's completely natural. Like you remember that girl….I think her name was Cassie from freshman year? Well I had that long ass relationship with her, but I loved every minute of it, but then…Valentine's Day came around and you know the story…I screwed over her for another chick that I had a crush on who never liked me a bit and that was Sasha, yeah, so nothing to be worried about." Dylan said as he was chewing the food in his mouth.
"Yeah, you're right; I really have no flaws to worry about." Cameron said. He gulped the rest of the sweet and tangy lemonade and felt relieved to get that off of his chest.
The next day, Yasmin walked with Sasha to study hall and talked, she doesn't want to say anything about Cameron or herself but felt like something was going to slip out.
"Saturday night, Cameron and I are going to go to a carnival along with Jade and her boyfriend Ryan." Sasha said. "It's really cool at night. All of the lights, the rides—"
"Oh, Jade has a boyfriend; she never mentioned this to me." Yasmin grew wide eyed.
"Well of course not you were always at home or some place away from your friends and to yourself." Sasha said. "So I could find you a date and we'll go together."
"But wait, what about Cloe, she won't have a date." Yasmin looked around.
"She had to take care of the siblings tonight and tomorrow so she'll be kind of busy." Sasha said. Yasmin nodded her head in negotiation.
After school, Yasmin caught the city bus and went to her usual seat in the back of the bus, she broke out her journal and begun to write all that she felt.
Dear journal, I haven't written in you lately but I do have a lot to say. I kissed Cameron, yes I had those butterflies and all I needed was for him to like me. But I actually think he does because when he was walking away from me at the beach Saturday he turned around and kissed me, I wasn't expecting that one. So for the past several days, we never talked since, it also felt really awkward. Then Saturday night, Sasha wants to hook me up to go on a blind date with some dip wad to some carnival, and I also didn't know Jade had a boyfriend. So what else….I think I am really falling for Cameron…magazine or not, that boy is yummy as hell and I want that. So what to do? Throw that magazine aside? Or just burn it to ashes? –
Yasmin stared out of the window, trying to think of what else to write until a piece of folded paper fell out of the back of her journal. Yasmin looked down at it and picked it up seeing that it was the page she tore out of the magazine article. She read it: Step 6: In order for you to keep him in your grasp, seduce him and make him crave you to where he breaks up with his current girlfriend and come to you. Yasmin glance over the article again and again.
Well how about keeping Step 6, huh? I think I should put this plan back into complete motion I'll write later. Bye.
Yasmin shut her journal and shoved it into her messenger bag. She held up the magazine clipping and want to finish going through with this idea.
At lunch,
"Sasha!" Cameron called from the distance in the outside cafeteria.
Sasha looked to her left to see she was being attacked by lips, Cameron slid right next to her with his arm wrapped around her shoulders, "Whoa Cameron, I really need to pay attention to the kisses you're going to come at me with." Sasha smiled.
"But you know you like that." Cameron whispered in her ear. Sasha's face felt hot and her heart fluttered. She was a lucky girl to have Cameron as a boyfriend. Meanwhile, Yasmin was in the bathroom stall reading one the magazine clipping that fell out of her journal yesterday and also took her own notes. She read over what she had and smiled. She walked out of the bathroom stall and checked herself out in the mirror; fixing her garment, she was wearing an A&F black scalloped lace t-strap tank with a pink tank underneath, dark blue skinny jeans and black wedged heels. Her hair was in wavy curls today with a pink and black lace embroidery headband. She headed out of the bathroom and walked outside to the cafeteria. She sat with Sasha, Cameron and Dylan.
"Hello, my friends."Yasmin chirped.
"Hey, what's up Pretty Princess?" Sasha asked.
"Oh just taking care of the kids….what does it look like?" Yasmin smiled.
"Prankster." Dylan said. "Hey, we should like pull ultimate pranks on each other." Dylan gulped his Pepsi.
"Gee, that's a great suggestion!" Cameron said sarcastically. "That sounds crazy."
"Actually Cameron no it doesn't, me and my older brother Ricardo always pulled pranks and dares when we were younger." Sasha said.
"Hey, what ever happened to your brother?" Yasmin asked.
"He's in college, he's was suppose to be out last year, but he wanted to be a doctor so….he'd in school forever." Sasha shrugged. Sasha's older brother was going to school to be a surgeon on human brains. That must be hard.
"Yeah, well he'll see you during graduation year right?" Yasmin asked.
"Yeah, he could." Sasha shrugged.
"Okay. Back to pranks, I want us to pull really dumb pranks." Dylan said.
"No, we are not." Cameron said.
"You're such a girl, man." Dylan mumbled. Eitan, Cloe, Koby, and Jade finally showed themselves to the table.
"Dudes and Chickas, what goes on?" Yasmin smiled glad to her friends altogether.
"I hate babysitting, I'm so going to try to get out of it, I really wanted to spend tomorrow night at the carnival with my friends, and this is a load of bullshit." Cloe said angrily.
"Don't worry, Angel, there always other opportunities." Yasmin said.
"No there won't, not like this anyway." Cloe threw her arm up.
"So…what is everyone doing Sunday, then?" Koby asked.
"Nothing," Dylan said.
"On Sunday's, you're not suppose to do anything, duh, everyone knows that." Jade rolled her green eyes.
"Well, I was wondering if you guys would like to hang at The Street with me, they're be music and drinks, and It'll totally be fun." Koby said.
"Ooh, I love The Street! I'm so in!" Jade exclaimed. The Street is a teen club where they get to se awesome teen musicians and dance to a DJ under strobe and neon lights wearing glow in the dark bracelets and necklaces so you won't loose you pals in the dark club. The drinks are basically alcohol free except for the energy drinks or if someone snuck in some alcohol, but it's pretty cool. Now that, that was mentioned, Yasmin has all kind of moves that she can make on Cameron.
"Whoa, I like love that freaking club! Hot chicks, eh?" Dylan hit Eitan's shoulder. Eitan agreed.
"Then us girls need to get some shopping in, 'cause I'm not babysitting Sunday, no, no, no." Cloe folded her arms over her chest. The friends laughed and talked. Meanwhile after school, Yasmin finally made it home and she had emotions running through her head about this weekend. She has all of these chances to get Cameron now! Just thinking about this made her so happy. At Cameron's house, he went up to his room and begun to think, this can't be the best night. Yasmin was whirling around in his thoughts and it was killing him. So, never to judge, he thinks he just might cut things off—
Okay so that was my chapter, I see that this weekend there will be a lot of partying, but sure enough Yasmin will make her mark on Cameron, I like this story and I hope you readers do too! I will update when I can, but in the meantime…review! Lol!
