Life Shall Come
All common disclaimers apply. VERY IMPORTANT: This is the sequel to The Real Life Cammy. It is necessary for you to read that first if you haven't. Well you don't have to, but you will be lost if you don't. =) Well here's Chapter 1. Enjoy!
Cammy's head snapped up suddenly at the sound of the bell ending class. She wiped a small drop of drool from her desk and began collecting her things. The classroom was already empty. I can't believe I fell asleep again. As she hurried from the room she heard her teacher call out to her.
"Cammy?"
She stopped, letting out a sigh, and turned towards Ms. Garland, her math teacher.
"Yeah?"
"You fell asleep during my lesson…again."
"I'm sorry, I had trouble sleeping last night. I promise I'll do all the work."
"But you won't know how."
"I…I…"
"Cammy, you need to commit yourself to your school work."
As she ran out the door she spoke.
"Okay, I will, I promise!"
As Cammy pushed through the crowds at her school she thought about the past few months. She wasn't stupid or anything. She did just fine in school. Hell, wasn't a C average? And that's what she was supposed to be, average. She told that to Guile once. It had made him really mad. There hadn't been too many problems with her adjusting to the school here. With 800 students in her grade level alone it was easy to hide. This was a lot larger than her school in London. That had been a private school anyway. The one she attended now was public. She reached the door that led to the student parking lot and had to squint her eyes against the bright sun. It was hot as hell outside. Of all the places in the US she had to be moved to Florida. She guessed it was because the relatively small tourist town was located a few miles from the largest Air Force Base in the US. Gave Guile a job, but forced her to suffer through the heat. She reached the car and realized she didn't have the keys. Wagner did. He was the other person placed with her and Guile in the "program" to keep them hidden from Shadowlaw. She knew nothing about how he came to be involved with them, nor did he about her. He didn't ask questions and neither did she. He was her age and a total bonehead. It figures he'd be off somewhere else rather than ready to go home like she was. Too bad she had given him the keys. She should have known better. The parking lot was clearing out slowly but surly and ten minutes later Cammy still stood waiting by the car. A huge green truck drove up and Wagner hopped out, highfiving all his friends as he left.
"Where the hell have you been? I've been waiting forever."
Wagner rubbed his hand over his short cut blonde hair and removed his sunglasses revealing his blue eyes. They were actually more of a midnight blue, a stark contrast against his skin.
"Don't get your panties all up in a bunch. I'm here and we can leave."
"Where did you go?"
"Just out with the guys, what's it matter to you?"
"You shouldn't be skipping school."
"As opposed to you sleeping in class?"
"I wasn't sleeping in class!"
"Well then how did you manage to write a math equation on your fore head backwards?"
Cammy's eyes grew wide as she leaned over to look at her face in the car's side mirror. Sure enough there it was. She must have looked like an idiot walking down the hall with that on her face.
"Whatever. At least I was in class."
Wagner smiled and started lowering himself into the car door he just unlocked as he spoke.
"I see it did you good. You're only this bitchy when you first wake up."
"Asshole."
He unlocked the passenger door and Cammy got in and buckled her seatbelt. Wagner started the car and sped towards home. Cammy looked at her reflection in the window against the fast moving scenery. The scar on her left cheek was about as healed as it was going to get. And it was very apparent against her skin. A constant reminder that she was missing a part of her life. She looked over to Wagner who was singing to the song on the radio and beating his hands to the drumbeat on the wheel. She didn't understand how he could be so happy. Something horrible had to have happened to him too for him to be here. She didn't dare ask for fear of him asking about her past. She couldn't stand thinking about it sometimes. Knowing she had killed people, happily. Cammy turned her head from the window and changed the radio station. Needed a change in music to change her mood. Wagner switched the radio back quickly.
"I was listening to that."
"How could you enjoy the song when all you can hear is your singing?"
"Good one."
"I wasn't trying. I'm being serious."
"Whatever Cammy."
Wagner turned the music even louder and continued towards their home. Upon arriving at home Wagner turned off the car and grabbed Cammy's arm before she could exit the car.
"You're not going to tell Guile about my skipping school today are you?"
Cammy sighed
"Of course not."
"I knew you were good for something."
He winked at her and hurried inside. If he knew what was good for him he wouldn't have added that little footnote. But Wagner didn't seem to be one who knew what was good for him. As they entered the house each went to their own room. Cammy started trying to figure out what she missed in math as Wagner probably started playing video games. Cammy was still on question number four when Guile arrived home with dinner. None of them could cook worth anything, so Guile usually came home with something. Cammy came to meet Guile in the kitchen. Looked like it was going to be Chinese food.
"Hey Cammy. How was your day?"
"Good I guess. Just got some hard math work."
Just then Wagner walked in and patted Guile on the back.
"My man! You know how much I love Chinese food!"
Guile smiled and set everything down at the table."
"Glad you're so excited."
Wagner grabbed one of the boxes and slung his body into a chair at the table. Cammy walked to the cabinet and pulled out a cup for some water. Wagner yelled at her with a mouth full of noodles.
"Will you get me a glass to?"
"Why can't you just--"
Guile broke in.
"Cammy don't be so rude, you're already up."
"Fine, whatever."
She resisted the urge to spit in his glass and soon was sitting at the table with Guile and Wagner as they stuffed their faces. Wagner had become Guile's clone in the past few months. Sucking up whenever possible was the way he worked Guile. Hell he even insisted on being called by his last name to be more like Guile. Which reminded Cammy.
"So, Scott, what did you do in school today?"
Wagner stopped eating, a noodle still hanging from his mouth before he glared at Cammy with eyes that could turn someone to stone before he spoke.
"Just took notes in most of my classes."
"I see. Sounds like you had fun."
"Yeah. Wide awake all day. Just like I'm sure you were."
"Of course!"
Guile was pretty much oblivious to the hints each child was dropping but Cammy figured it was better that way. Dinner was soon finished and each inhabitant went their separate ways. It had been an ordinary day. That's what this was supposed to be. Somewhere she could live a normal life. It was supposed to make her happy. Then why wasn't she?
There is the first Chapter. Not much happening, just wanted to set everything up for you. Wagner belongs to Jami and I'd like to thank her for letting me use him. I knew him and Cammy's character's would butt heads and it works. Tell me what you guy/girls think!
