Love Never Dies:
Chapter 7:
Camille's POV:
Kendall Knight was lovely. I never thought that within my first hour of being at my new college I would have met someone I really enjoyed talking to and got on with so well. It wasn't like I had a crush on him or anything, I still couldn't quite get my mind off Logan for some reason, but I was just happy to know I had made a really good friend. Kendall was so easy to talk to and it turns out we have quite a lot in common. We both have a love for sports, we've both moved to Minnesota from our hometowns, and we both have amazing friends who we would do anything for. Kendall was a genius when it came to sports theory classes. He told me it was one of the only subjects he actually had any interest in. He spent most of the lesson explaining what kind of things they had covered in the year so far and let me copy his notes he had made during the sessions. After that, we had spent the rest of the lesson asking each other questions about ourselves and laughing at Mr Cooper's random choice of shoes.
Kendall was halfway through telling me a story about the time him and his friends got kicked off the ice rink, when the bell signalling class had finished rung out in the hallway.
"I'll have to finish telling you the story some other time." Kendall laughed as he swung his backpack over his shoulder, getting ready to leave the classroom.
"I look forward to it." I smirked.
"Hey, it's a good story." He teased as we started heading towards the door, "Anyway, what lesson do you have next?"
I pulled my newly crumpled timetable out of my bag. "Erm.. Physics with Mr Watson. What do you have?"
"Chemistry with Miss Healey." He replied, looking slightly down-hearted.
I paused for a second before asking nervously, "Well, do you mind if I hang out with you at lunch? I don't really know anyone else."
Kendall seemed like a popular boy, I don't really know why I asked him, he probably didn't want to, but it was worth a shot. I shocked and pleased when he replied a moment later with, "Sure, id love for you to meet my friends."
I smiled up at him, "Really?"
"'Course, how about we meet at your locker after lesson? Where is your locker?"
"Erm, second floor, number 163." I recited from the locker key the receptionist had given me earlier that morning.
"Great, that's right near my friends," he cried excitedly.
"No way? Well I'll see you both later then," I smiled. "Bye Kendall, and thank you!" I headed off in the direction of my next lesson.
"No need to thank me. And you're heading the wrong way, you know. Miss Healey's classrooms that way." He laughed, pointing in the opposite way I was going.
I blushed, totally embarrassed. I turned around and walked past Kendall, sticking my tongue out at him and started walking off again, but this time in the right direction.
Logan's POV:
After my algebra lesson, I met up with James and we slowly started making our to our english lesson together. I had been eager to talk to James all weekend; he was the only one I had told about my brief meeting with Camille. It wasn't long before we were sat in our usual seats at the back of the boring classroom. As soon Mr Thompson started addressing the class, James brought the subject up. "So?" He asked.
"So what?" I replied, completely baffled by his random question.
"So, tell me about this girl! The mysterious childhood sweetheart you refuse to talk about."
I scoffed, "I do not refuse to talk about her!"
"Yes you do, you always go bright red when one of us brings her up or asks about her, like you are doing right now in fact." James smirked.
"I do not!" I whispered angrily. I was already regretting speaking to James about it; he was too cocky and so big-headed sometimes. "I only do that when you and Carlos start making kissy faces at me!"
"What? We do not!" He placed a hand over his heart, looking upset, but the effect was ruined by the massive grin that appeared on his face a few seconds later.
I sighed loudly, "You do! But, anyway, do you want to hear the story or not?"
"Yes!" James replied eagerly, wiggling himself into a comfy position on the plastic chair.
I took a deep breath and began, "Ok, well you know how I told you I hadn't spoken to my ex-girlfriend since I left Texas?"
James nodded silently, listening with full attention to my short and rather pathetic story.
"Well, I was out at the shops on Saturday, my mom wanted me to buy some stuff for her, and I just turned around for a second to check the queue behind me, and there she was, with a newspaper in her hand. I wasn't sure if she was watching me but I can be positive and say she definitely saw me. I didn't know what to do, I panicked because I thought she would be mad at me for leaving, so I quickly bought my stuff and left. Just like that. I didn't even say bye to her, James! The girl I was dating for two flipping years, the girl I was and still am in love with, I think. I don't know what to do!" It felt good for me to release my anger out, but the more I thought about Camille, the more I hated myself for not talking to her.
James was quiet for a while, just staring at me in disbelief. After about 5 minutes of sitting in thought, he finally whispered, "You're an idiot!"
"Wow, thanks James. What a great help!" I replied sarcastically.
"I just don't understand why you ran off. What moron would do that?" James was completely in shock. He clearly hadn't experienced nervousness when talking to girls before; he was always such a natural and made it look really easy, which it wasn't. Sometimes Logan wished he could be like that, but he was just too shy, especially when it came to Camille.
"I panicked, okay? You're really not helping!"
"Sorry, well don't you have her phone number still? You were always texting her when you first moved here."
"I did, but then Carlos thought it would be funny to use my phone as a hockey puck and I had to get a new one, remember? And I lost all my contacts when my phone cracked in half against the ice rink wall; I haven't spoken to her since." I answered. The memories that were filling my head started getting me upset. Who knew how many times Camille had tried to contact me since then. I felt a pang of guilt when I thought of her waiting by her phone for a text reply that would never come.
James awoke me out of my thoughts, "Well, you never know, fate might bring you two together again. After all, true love never dies." James could be very serious and very knowledgeable sometimes, and that scared me a bit.
I sighed, "Guess so."
"How about you speak to Kendall about it at lunch? He always knows what to do." James smiled sadly; he must have realised I was clearly not in the mood to be made fun of. Memories of Camille were eating me from the inside and having this conversation with James had made me even more depressed about the whole situation, I knew James was only trying to help though. Usually, when James was finished with a girl, he would easily move onto the next one, sometimes by the end of the same day. James had difficulty with the concept of having "feelings" for someone. However, he had been on many dates, taking girls out to see romantic chick-flicks and romantic-comedies, so he had a lot of expertise in that area.
Just then, I felt my phone vibrate in my front pocket. I quickly glanced at Mr Thompson to make sure he wasn't looking, and then looked down to see the text was from Kendall. I opened it quickly and read it, then I gazed up at James who was attempting to read the text over my shoulder. I slowly closed the message and put the phone back in my pocket.
"That was from Kendall. We're meeting at my locker after lesson for lunch."
