Chapter Two: Painless

"Cammie? You ok?" Bex asks.

"Huh? Yea. Just thinking." I reply and go back to my bag, and continue unpacking. It was my first year here. I had two roomies, and I thought they were quite nice. Bex, and Liz, at least that was the nicknames they had, mine was Cammie, Bex was really Rebecca, and Liz was Elizabeth.

"You seem very distant." Liz calls out suddenly.

"Just thinking," I say and then continue, throwing her off," Hey what do you think this year will be like?"

"I dunno, painless I hope." I hear her reply, I smile, she was the classic type of bookworm. I already liked them both, Bex was the brave and cunning type. Opposites. I was different as well, I was lean and fit, smart and strong, I was me. They Them. We heard a bell then.

"Welcome Dinner." We all say and burst into laughter. I hoped this would be like this forever. That was a month ago. Things became closer, there were a lot of people. I was barely noticed, classes were amazing and fun. My friends noticed how hard it was to keep track of me, and how very few people noticed me, I liked it. They called me Chameleon, No longer just Cammie, but both. We grabbed what we needed tonight, as we snuck out, through the passage way we loved, it was nice. We were wearing jeans and white tanks, and carrying blue book bags, we looked calm and regular, we walked down the road laughing and telling jokes,

"Hey how does a shoe see?" Liz asks. She was a bad joke teller, but maybe she was getting better?

"How Lizzie?" Bex asks, full of patience to teach this young girl, we both loved her, but were shocked at how, well, nerdy she was, but no surprise with her parents.

"The shoe Lace!" She replies and giggles. We shake are heads and share a glance. UGGGGHHHH SHE WILL NEVER LEARN!

"How about this, Whats Beethoven's favorite fruits?" She tries. Ugh this better be good, honestly I hope for her sake.

"What Liz?" I ask because Bex doesn't seem able, she has the look of 'UGGGH WHY? JUST WHY?' I didn't blame her personally, but we liked her enough to teach her.

"Ba-na-na-naaaa!" She sings. We burst into laughter.

"See! Its easy to tell a good joke!" Bex yells triumphantly. I laugh lightly.

"Yay!" She cries out, people look at us like were insane and we continue laughing as they try to avoid us. We walked to the movie theater to catch a humar movie, we needed Liz to understand, as we had been trying to teach her to joke. We had gotten very far in a month.

After the movie we walked casually down the road home, we were quite lost in are own thoughts as we climbed the passage way home. We climbed in bed after changing and went to sleep. Tomorrow was another day, another Spy. Right before I could pass out Liz spoke.

"I've gone far in a month haven't I?" She asks.

"Yes. Yes, you have." I reply softly, I could hear her smile in the dark.

"Cam?" She asks.

"Yea?" I reply.

"Thank you." She says simply.

"For what?" I ask.

"For being my friend, for supporting me, for being there, for, for everything!" She replies, I smile.

"Its my pleasure my dear." I reply. It was quite, I wondered what are future would be, what would happen, would we stay friends? I like, at night, to search for passages, and I knew almost all of them, I loved them. My friends loved to tease me, but it saved us a lot of times, so I suppose it was alright. I didn't care, I was home, and safe. This was my home. Little did I know what awaited me in the future. Little did I know. Looking back knowing what would happen, if I had, maybe I would have trained harder, Perhaps. Maybe I would have tried to make the most of my carefree days. Maybe I would have changed nothing.
