Hello once again everyone. I'm already on with my third chapter and I think that the story is turning out pretty well. I mean every time I reread what I've written I go, oh my gosh, I could have made that so much better or that would be much better for a later part but I still think it's good overall. Anyways here is where we enter our first major plot twist so brace yourselves. I know you guys want a little more backstory on the OC and believe me it will come but you all have to be patient so one more reminder: Please, please, please, o please give me advice. If you can think of any way I could improve my story then please feel free to let me know in a review or a PM, either way works for me. Ok enough of that, time for the story.
Disclaimer: I own none of the things you see on TV that also happen to be in this story.
OC POV
Cam was the first to pull away. We were both panting and out of breath. I spoke first, "I'm so confused, I thought… I thought for sure you were straight." He looked away from me, almost in shock in what he just did.
"I know and I am straight, one kiss doesn't make me gay." He said.
"But…" I began. "No! Ok, I'm not gay, I can't be, I just… can't." He started breathing hard.
"Ok just please calm down Cam, deep breaths."
After several minutes he finally calmed down, "Ok look, you can't tell anyone about what happened, you have to swear, please. If you don't, I don't know what I'm gonna do." He started hyperventilating again.
"Cam, Cam, ok Cam I promise I won't say a word," I said and I couldn't believe the next few words that came out of my mouth, "Let's just pretend like it never happened."
"But Taylor, you're gay, this meant something to you, I know it did just give me some time to think…"
"No, look we need to get out of here and go home. When we wake up tomorrow… this night never happened." I said with tears in my eyes.
"Taylor please, I know that deep down you'll always resent me for this."
"And nothing you do is going to change the way I feel but I can at least bury the truth underneath. I'm leaving now, with or without you." I started walking away and then I turned and said, "Good-bye Campbell, I'll see you tomorrow." And I left him there in dark.
Campbell POV
I couldn't believe he just left me here. What the hell is going on here? I've never even looked at a guy before but all of sudden I like Taylor. Naturally I end up screwing everything up. Maybe, if I just pretend that none of this ever happened, then we could just move on with our lives and be happy. For all I know this could just be a phase.
"Oh who am I kidding, why did I have to fall for a guy." I said out loud. Well I need to go home and get some rest, maybe tomorrow I'll come up with a solution.
OC POV
I slammed the door as I walked in to my house and my mom jolted awake from the couch she was sitting on.
"Mijito, oh thank God you got home safe, are you hurt? Did someone kidnap you? I thought this was a safe place, dear God." I hate it when she goes all momma bear on me like this.
"Mom, I'm perfectly fine ok, I'm just tired." I didn't even believe myself.
"Wait," she said as she turned on the light, "You've been crying. Come on tell me what happened."
We both moved to the couch and I started telling her about my day. How I met Tori and she took me to get my schedule, how I met Cam and he showed me around, and then about my classes and Maya, I skipped the incident at Lunch because I knew she would freak out even more, and then we got to the part where we came to my house and then we left to go see the stars with the Degrassi Stargazers.
"And then we went to the park because Cam said we would be able to see better there so I followed him and we got to this clearing and we started talking and the stars, mom the stars were amazing, and then I came out to him and he interrupted me saying he didn't care about my sexuality and then I was trying to tell him that I liked him but before I finished he, well he, ummm…."
"Come on spill it, I'm sure it's nothing I can't handle." She said.
"He kissed me and I kissed him back and it felt amazing and it just felt so right and I thought he felt the same but…"
"Ok wait, didn't you tell me he was a hockey player and he's going to be playing in the NHL or something?"
I responded, "Yes, but what does that have to do with anything."
"Hijo, think about it for a second. Back when we lived in the U.S. do you remember how it was such huge scandal when NFL football players were exposed as gay," I nodded, "Well it's the same here in Canada except their major sport is hockey, so I can understand why he's afraid to be with you."
"Ok, I guess it makes sennnsse." I yawned.
"Cheer up mijito, I'm sure it will all work out in the end."
"Yes mom." God I say that a lot.
"Goodnight." "Goodnight."
Third Person POV
"I knew that new kid was a fag, but Cam too. It's a shame, he would have been a great hockey player." A mysterious dark voice said to the sound of a photo printer running.
OC POV
Another fantabulous morning, whoopee, "ohohohoh." I groaned as my mom shook me awake.
"Come on Taylor, it's time for school."
"I don't want to go."
"Come on you're going to be late."
"ughghg" I said getting up.
The bell rang as soon as I got out of my mom's car. I walked up to the steps and I should have known Cam would be waiting. I tried to move around him but of course he didn't let me get away that easy.
"Taylor we need to talk." He said assertively.
"We have nothing to talk about." I insisted.
"Ok look, you don't have to talk but you could just listen."
I caved, "Fine you got 3 minutes before we end up late for class."
"Ok, I still don't know how I feel about… about us I mean I think I like you but I don't want to."
"In other words, you've made no progress."
"Will you let me finish, thank you. Ok so I'm still really confused but could we please just be friends for now, at least until I figure all this out, please."
"Beg for it."
"What?"
"You heard me, get down on your knees and beg me to forgive you."
"Ok, if that's what it takes." He dropped to his knees and I said. "No, no get up, people are staring."
He started to get up with a confused expression on his face, "Were you really going to beg?" I asked.
"Isn't that what you asked me to do?"
"Well yeah, but I never thought that you'd actually do it." I said as I started to laugh.
"Ok well you've had your laugh but does this mean that we're cool?" He asked nervously.
"Yeah, I guess we're cool."
"Awesome" he said excitedly as the bell rang, "Oh we better go."
"Right." I said.
My classes went fine, the day was pretty relaxing no real commotion. I chatted up with Tori and Maya and I sat with them at lunch. I met their friend Tristan who's also gay so I decided it was safe to tell them that I was gay too. Tristan was kind of cute, but he wasn't my type. The only weird thing was that that Luke guy was giving me the eye all throughout lunch. I just waved off as nothing and ignored him. So afterschool, Maya, Tori, Tristan, Cam, and I went to the Dot and we hung out. I had a lot of fun and we made plans to come back her every other day. In other words, things got back to normal for a while. I could get used to this.
2 weeks later
Two weeks since Cam kissed me, two weeks since my life has changed for the better, most importantly two weeks of me just having to worry about my homework. Another day of peace and quiet. How wrong I would turn out to be.
Campbell POV
I was on my way to school and I decided to walk with Taylor to school for a change of pace. So I got out and I saw him heading out to his mom's car.
"Hey, Taylor wait!"
"Hey Cam what's up?"
I wanted to know if you wanted to walk to school with me, I was going to meet up with Tori, Tristan and Maya so I thought you might want to come too."
"Umm sure, mom do you mind?" Taylor asked his mom.
"No dear it's fine, have a good day." And before I knew it she was gone, i didn't even get a chance to introduce myself.
We began walking to school. "So how are you doing?" I asked. Cam and Luke had gotten into a fight over something yesterday and whatever happened must have been bad because Luke said he would destroy Cam the next time he got the chance.
"I'm alright, what could he really do to me?"
"True, hey there's Tori, Tristan, and Maya." Taylor said
"Hey guys what's up?"
"Not much, hey come on we're going to be late, we should probably hurry up." said Maya.
As we walked into the schoolyard everyone was whispering and staring at us.
"What's up with everyone today?" Campbell asked as we approached the front doors.
"Hey guys, guys?" he turned to face us and we were frozen with what we saw.
"Cam, I thought you said no one came to the park with us that night." I said.
"Taylor don't bring that up now, not right in front of them." He motioned to Tori, Tristan and Maya.
"I think it's a little late for that right now Cam." said Maya.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
Taylor walked up to me, "Brace yourself." And he turned me around to face the doors.
"For wha…" i didn't finish my sentence because right in front of me, all over the front doors of Degrassi were flyers and posters with the same picture all over the place. It was a picture of that night, the night I kissed Taylor in the park and it was right there for everyone to see.
Babaam! Poor Cam, i feel sorry for him, but i bet i know who did it, yeah you probabaly know too but i still won't say who it is just to inspire doubt among you. Anyway, your probably asking yourself why has this person updated the story like 3 times over the course of 24 hours. Well i'll tell you why. it's because i'm not gonna be here tomorrow so that means that this is actually saturday's update but since i won't be here to update i'm just going to do it now. Expect a new chapter by Monday the latest, till then.
