As soon he pronounced the words "Right, then", Cam regretted his words. In spite of his friends' assurance, the fear of being rejected by Gwen was still here.
The next morning, Cam woke up really tired. He had did nightmares all night long. Then he was on the school's road, visions of his last bad dream were still engraved in his mind.
"- Gwen, can I talk to you?, he said, approaching the girl.
- Yeah, Gwen replied, intrigued.
- I have something to tell you. Something hard to say. But I can't keep this for me anymore. Gwen, I… I… I love you, Cam said, looking at the ground, expecting Gwen's reaction.
As only answer, Gwen laughed, laughed and laughed…"
At this moment, Cam had wake up, a cold sweat running down his back. After it, he couldn't return to sleep.
Cam sighed. One thing was good in that. It was the fact that he was still decided to tell Gwen about how he felt about her. "If she don't share my feelings, I'll be okay with that, I'll get over it. If she share them, then I'll be happy. That's all. At least, I'll had admitted what I wanted to tell her…", he muttered to himself.
Cam walked to the school daydreaming, his feet guiding him. He realised that he was arrived when he bumped into Spence.
- Hey, Cam! Look at where you're going!
- Sorry, Spence. I was daydreaming.
- Anxious, huh?, his friend asked.
- A lot! I did nightmares all night long!
- Hey! It's Romeo!, Zack exclaimed, joining them. Where's Juliet?
- I don't know. And I don't want to tell her now. At lunchtime.
- Why does at lunchtime?
- Because I'm going to have more time to speak to her and my humiliation won't lasted too long. And I know a good school just outside the town…
- Cam!, Zack and Spence shouted.
Cam looked at them, stunned.
- It won't be so bad, Zack added softly.
- Nobody's gonna laugh at you!, Spence said. Ok, maybe Vermin and the Brookes brothers, but they're jeks!
- Even Gwen is too kind to laugh at you!, Zack claimed.
Cam let go a sigh and sat on a bench.
- You both are sure of what you are saying, huh?, he asked.
They nodded.
- I think you're right. I'm paranoid, I'm worrying for nothing.
- Hey! Class is starting in less that 5 minutes! We better go!, Spence exclaimed.
- Spence, if Cam's obsessed with Gwen, you're obsessed with school!, Zack laughed.
- I'm not! It's just that we begin with science class! An if we're late once again, we'll get another detention, Mrs. Arlington warned us last week!, Spence reminded.
- True! Two minutes left!, Cam exclaimed. Come on!
They rushed towards the main entrance. The bell rang as they entered the science room.
@@@
Cam began to feel shakily as the bell announcing lunchtime rang. He went eating with Zack and Spence, outside, like everyday. Suddenly, he saw Gwen going towards them.
- Hey, guys!, she said.
Spence and Cam looked surprised. Usually, Gwen didn't eat with them.
- Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. I saw Gwen this morning in the hall and I invited her to come eat with us. You're ok with that?
- Yeah, sure, why not?, Spence said.
- Yeah, why not? She's our friend after all!, Cam said at his turn.
He blushed slightly when Gwen sat right in front of him. Zack saw it and winked at him teasingly, like if he was saying: "I did it deliberately for you". As only answer, Cam glared at him. Zack stuck his tongue out at him.
When the had finished eating, Spence took Zack by the arm and said:
- Hey Zack, class restart in less than 20 minutes and we have to do our English homework!
- Damn! Hurry up!, Zack exclaimed.
- See ya later!, they said.
They left Cam and Gwen alone at the table. "They owe me now! I know that they don't have English homework to do!, Cam thought. Ok, Cam, you go sit next to her and you tell her!". He got up ans sat down on the bench, next to Gwen. He took a deep breathe.
- Gwen, can I talk to you for a minute?
- Sure!, she replied.
"Ok! I began, now I have to finish it!".
- I have something really important to tell you…
- What is it?
- Gwen, I… I…
- You what?
Cam looked at the ground. He wasn't able to look at her. Then, he said it.
- Gwen, I'm in love with you.
Gwen didn't reply. The boy she loved just admitted his love for her and she wasn't able to speak! But Cam took it bad.
- I knew that you probably doesn't feel the same, he said sadly. But I had to let it go out.
He stood up.
- I have something to do. See you later.
Gwen wanted to tell him to wait that she loved him too, but she couldn't speak. Once Cam was out of sight, she buried her head in her arms and started crying. She had ruined all chances of relationship with Cam.
