"Does anyone have any idea as to when Hitler invaded Poland?" Doctor Cipher asked.

Cameron was holding the pen tightly in his hand. He could see the girl in front of him was taking note. She raised her hand and announced the date with a proud smile on her face.

"Excellent work, Katherine!"

Cameron looked down at Katherine, who continued to take notes. She was so into work, and he didn't want to interrupt her. So, he waited until after class, holding the pen in his right hand and having anxiety build up in his chest. Once Doctor Cipher dismissed class, Katherine stood up and gathered her belongings.

"Excuse me," Cameron approached, causing her to whip around and almost hit him with her hair.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" She exclaimed softly," I didn't mean to hit you."

"It's okay," Cam gave an awkward smile, holding out her pen," On Monday, you dropped this. I was gonna give it to you after class but-"

"Thank you," she took the pen, trying to hide the teeth marks, then taking her hand out," I'm Katherine Little."

"Cameron Frye," he shook her hand.

Her grip was firm and the shine in her eyes was strong. For a moment, he found that the way the light touched her eyes was beautiful. She thanked him again for the pen and went to walk away. She stopped in an instant and whipped around.

"You wanna go grab some lunch?"

"Sure," Cameron threw one strap on his shoulder," So, I see you always taking a lot of notes in history. You must really love history."

"I do," Katherine nodded," I'm actually majoring in history. I've always had this thing with monuments and places and people. Studying the past has always been my number one interest in school. It's helped my writing."

"You write?"

"Oh yeah! I've been working on some stories, but they're all historical fiction. But, aside from writing, I dream of working in a museum."

As they sat down and ate, Katherine was talking about her dream and how a museum would be the perfect place to be able to work. There would be kids asking questions and inspiration surrounding her. Cameron didn't mind that she was getting into depth about her career. He couldn't help but smile when she apologized for talking so much.

"I don't mind," he said," I wish I had a major to talk about."

"I wouldn't worry too much about it," she admitted," It's your first semester and not a lot of people know what they want to do with their lives. Sometimes, it's the right course, or the right professor or the right assignment. But something's gonna click and you'll find what you love."

Cameron nodded, but he couldn't help but feel bad about not having a major. He knew, in time, he would, but for now, he was just getting away from his family. Katherine could tell that he was slightly distraught, so they decided to continue a different conversation as they were leaving.

"So where are you from?" she asked as they walked.

"Chicago," Cameron mentioned," You?"

"Youngstown," she said," in Ohio. It's an okay place but I miss it. My family, my friends, my old school-do you miss home?"

"Only the part about the friends. They're about the only thing I'm gonna miss most. Especially my best friend. Y'know, he's the only true friend I've had—even if he was a pain in my ass."

Katherine gave a small laugh and Cameron did too. He enjoyed her company as they approached his building in which they found out that they shared the same building.

"Hey Cam!"

The two looked up to find Charlie waving from the window. He gave a thumbs up to the two. His roommate was embarrassed but Katherine couldn't help but smile.

"I take it that's your roommate?"

"Yep. A nice guy but I worry…"

"Ah," she nodded, walking to her door," Hey, Cam, maybe we can hang out sometime?"

"Sure, I would love to."

She smiled and bid him a good day. As he went up the stairs, Cameron couldn't help but smile. Katherine was on his mind and her words about having a major stuck. He kept thinking about them as he entered the room, finding Charlie with Dusty, Miranda and Justin all sitting about.

"Looks like you got yourself a girlfriend, Hot Shot," Dusty laughed.

"Even if she will be," Cameron set his backpack down," that wouldn't be for a while now. We just had lunch and talked about our majors. Well, her major."

"Besides," Miranda sighed," our major concern is getting to humiliate Josh Stapleton."

That's what they were here about? Cameron sighed and put his stuff down. He had work to do and this was not something that would change his life. He walked to his desk and put his books down. He informed the crew that, at that moment, he was busy and had more important work to do. Though they understood, the four were huddled together to discuss what they could do. Each idea that came about was...a failure, to say the least. Cameron listened in on their conversation. They were all coming up with these awful ideas that were too stupid to believe. He'd only known these people in a short amount of time, but he knew, they were going to be friends and they would have to work together.

"How about we catch him cheating?" Dusty mentioned.

"Alright," Cameron stood up," we don't want to get him kicked out of school. We just want to show him that we won't be pushed down. That we're all as important as one another..and maybe humiliate him. Now, what we could do is little pranks here and there, but then, we really get him."

"How about at one of his parties?" Justin brought up," He doesn't throw them often, but when he does, almost everyone is there."

"And that would work?"

"Of course!"

Cameron smiled down at his crew, knowing this was going to be very interesting.
