- Push again a bit... again... again... perfect!, Gwen said as Cam pushed the little sofa against the wall, under the window.
Red of efforts, the young boy collapsed on the sofa and closed his eyes.
- Hey, lazy! It's not finished yet!
- WHAT?, Cam exclaimed while opening his eyes.
- Yup. We have the screen to replace.
- Ahhh...! You can't do this alone?
- No, it's too heavy.
- Fine, Cam said as he got up.
He took a side of the screen, Gwen took the other and they moved it.
- Ok! Here!, Gwen exclaimed as she let go of her side of the screen.
The sudden imbalance made Cam letting go of his took and the screen's foot fell on Cam's foot.
- Ouch!, Cam exclaimed as he took his foot with his two hands.
He jumped on one foot until he reached the sofa where he sat down.
- Are you ok?, Gwen asked, approaching him.
- Yeah, Cam growled.
- Can you walk?
- I think I can.
Cam got up and walked around the room.
- That's ok. It hurts a bit, but I have just to don't put my weight on my foot and it'll be correct.
He looked at his watch.
- Ok, I gotta go, class start in two minutes. See ya in French class!
Cam opened the door and was about to left the room when Gwen called him:
- Cam?
- Yeah?
Gwen smiled at him.
- Thanks for your help.
- Oh, it was nothing.
Cam smiled at his turn to his friend and left. When he was out, Gwen fell on her bed.
- Damn!
What she wanted to say to Cam was more than a simple "Thanks". She wanted to admit to him the love that she felt for him. She wasn't able to keep this secret that only Sarah, Zack's girlfriend, knew. Gwen sighed. She changed her mind at the last second, once again.
Dring! The bell rang, taking her back to reality. Gwen took her books and went to her class.
@@@
It was the last period before the end of class, so Zack, Cam and Spence left immediately when the bell rang. They made only a short stop to their lockers to put in it their books, put few ones in their backpacks and take their coats. The three boys left the school and walked away in the park's direction.
- Hey, Cam, what's going on? You're limping!, Zack noticed.
- Oh, this? Gwen's screen fell on my foot this afternoon.
- You love her, don't you?, Spencer asked.
- The screen? It's pretty, it have great colours..., Cam began stupidly.
- No, stupid! Gwen!, Spence said.
- Why are you saying this?, Cam asked, blushing violently and avoiding his friends' looks.
- Stop lying to us, Cameron! We can see it in your eyes! Each time you see her, your expression change! And why are you blushing, suddenly?
- I... I...
Cam felt suddenly tired. Tired of keeping this for him.
- Yeah, you're right, he said.
- I knew it!, Spence said.
- And I think she's not insensible to your charm, Zack claimed.
- How can you say a such thing?, Cam asked. She talked to you?
- No, but I have a great sense of observation...
A glimmer of hope appeared to Cam.
- So, you think that I can have a chance?
Zack and Spence nodded.
- Go talk to her, Zack advised. If I wasn't went talk to Sarah, she probably didn't become my girlfriend.
Cam had a moment of hesitation.
- Right, then. Tomorrow, I'll go talking to her.
- Great!, Spence said.
They arrived soon at Cam's house. When he went inside his house, Zack and Spence walked away.
- I hope that he'll don't change his mind, Zack said. I can't stand here and watch them hurting each other by keeping it for themselves anymore.
- Me too. But I think Cam isn't a boy who change his mind easily.
- Luckily, Zack said.
Red of efforts, the young boy collapsed on the sofa and closed his eyes.
- Hey, lazy! It's not finished yet!
