(Revised&Edited. No "eeww" scenes, as I like to call them. OH! And just to clear things up, my cousin wrote that other story too, "Sun Felt Cheating". Don't think I have a wrong mind, because luckily I don't!)

Stop! Tell me the truth cause I'm so confused
Spinning round these walls are falling down and I need
You, more than you know, I'm not letting go,
I'm getting close, so take my hand
And please just tell me why
You're pushing me away
Every lost word, every single thing you say
Pushing me away
You try to stop it now but it's all in me today
Pushing me away
If you really dont care just say it to my face
Pushing me away

Claire's POV.
How could I not want to kiss him? He likes me! And possibly I like him too. Derrick was getting boring anyways. I needed a new guy. Besides, the only reason he wasn't hanging out with me as much anymore because he thought I was getting ah-nnoying. But, Cam obviously doesn't think so. We're totally attracted to each other. I think I may feel more than just crushing with Cam. He's just so much more manly.. Ha!
Claire and Cam sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
Plus, his lips were so soft! This way, there was no insecurities, it was more like 2 best friends becoming more than that. It wasn't the most significant kiss I'd received, but it was definitely something.
"O-oh-kay, Cam. Stop." I stuttered.
"Haha, sorry. You're just so hawt." Cam cooed.
"EEww, Cam get a break." I spat. "Maybe, this is wrong.."
"Why? You broke up with Derrick, right? You're free to date whoever you want!" Cam persuaded.
"I only came to you for comfort because Derrick and I broke up, yeah. Yeah, that's right. We broke up, and now I'm going out with you.. Now, I don't know. I thought we were just gonna stay good friends. But, you always liked me right? More than just good friends?" I lied. Derrick and I never broke up! I was just (kinda) using Cam! He thinks I'm single, but technically I'm still dating Derrick! He doesn't know, and he's not going to find out. I like Cam, and I think he likes me too.
"Yea, of course. Why else would I be kissing you, Claire? We're meant to be, that's why you guys broke up, right? Because you knew it was always us that would be right?" Cam questioned. He sounded suspicious, yet kind of sweet. It convinced me that we were perfect together.
"Cam, I thought we were just going to talk. I didn't want us to end up kissing, or dating."
"Well, I say stuff that I don't always stick with." Cam cooed again. I always did want a naughty boy.
"I guess we could stay like this for a little longer." I calmed.
"That's my girl." He nodded.
"Yea, I could get used to that." I mumbled.
"Me too. Derrick was just getting tiring right?" Cam repeated. You could tell he was totally trying to understand my feelings.
"Yes. So boring." I replied.
He kept landing soft kisses on me. Ahh, the warm feel of him. How could we stop? I didn't really want to.
"Cam, you wanna get a drink? We could do a movie night too. My mom's away, we could watch some R-rated movie." I asked, in between fluttering kisses and soft hugging.
"I just can't. Haven't you heard the saying? Once you've started, you can't stop." Cam smiled mischievously.
"Stupid, that's not an expression. Let's go." I pulled away from him, and smacked his back playfully. He laughed, and hit me back. I giggled, and flirted with him a little more. It was fun playing with Cam. Maybe, I should break up with Derrick? For real? I mean, it would make me feel less guilty. But I wouldn't want to give up all the good times!
I hopped off from the desk, and motioned for Cam to get up too. He pouted, and silently asked me to pull him up. Usually I wouldn't give in so easily, but he was just SOO CUTE! I held out my hand, and instead of him grabbing it and pulling himself up. He softly held it in his hand, bent down his head and gently, oh so cutely kissed it. I giggled, and was overwhelmed. He was so sweet! Cam looked up and giggled back. Finally, he pulled himself up, and we kissed one more time. He put his arm around my waist and I put it on his shoulder. We were the perfect height, unlike me and super tall Derrick. Our backs were still facing the door, and we looked out the wide window. We took in the scenery.
Suddenly, I heard a gasp. It wasn't me or Cam. There wasn't anyone else in the room. Todd was out with his friends for the weekend. Only her mom was home, but she was supposed to leave 10 minutes ago to the mall. No one should be home. Unless…
I just got off the phone with Massie and the guys 15 minutes ago. There's no way. They couldn't possibly get here that quick! Uh-oh. What if they were? I can't handle the pressure! Gawd, it was time to do something!
Quickly, I pushed Cam away. The reaction was awkward; because he fell back hitting the wall. He didn't expect it, and he was cut off guard.
In one swift moment, I turned around and saw everything. But unfortunately, so did all my other friends.
As I turned around, I heard whispers and gasps, and I saw 2 familiar heads poking through the open door. For the past 15 minutes, my nosy friends have been watching the scene unfold before me.
Massie Block and Josh Hotz saw everything I'd been covering for the past week. The couple named, "Best Couple of the Year" was staring right at my face. They were gasping and their mouths were shaped like gigantic "O's". Massie turned to her boyfriend, and whispered something. I barely caught the words but I think I heard, "Uhh, we're sorta caught! What do we do? Run?"
He spoke lightly in her ear. I didn't hear what he said, but assumed they wouldn't run because neither moved. They looked utterly confused. I was speechless. What was I supposed to do? Hit them with my pillow and make a run for it? But where would I go? They would soon find me, I couldn't hide. The truth would be out!
Finally I decided to just tough it out, and face them. What would be the worse? Losing my friends? Losing my boyfriend? I'd still keep Cam though. Oh, wait, this is bad!!
"Did you guys see everything?"
Their answer was a simple nod, and I knew I was over just as fast as their nods hit me like a fire bolt.
"It's not what it looks like! Please don't tell Derrick! Please! I'll do whatever you want! I just-I don't-maybe-you guys?" I stuttered, by the time I was done, I was straight crying unable to figure out their expressions.
"Claire? What's going on?" Cam asked. He got up and walked in front of me. Obviously, he thought he could protect me from them, but he was wrong.
"Are you guys going out?" Massie asked.
"Wait, does D know?" Josh asked.
"What's going on?" Massie questioned.
"Cam what the heck are you doing?"
"Do we need to talk, Ku-laire?"
"Guys, we need to know."
"Derrick, where is he? We should call him!"
Massie and Josh shot me with questions in seconds. I tried to answer them one at a time, but couldn't. All I could do was answer them all in one answer.
"STOP!! JUST STOP!" I screamed. I was definitely tearing up now. They all gave me confused looks, waiting for answers, and trying to understand what was going on.
"Claire, you wanna tell us what's going on?" Massie, Josh, and Cam asked at the same time. Massie and Josh looked weirded out. They seemed confused. But, Cam looked the most misunderstanding of all. He didn't understand what was so wrong. He thought that we were safely dating, but oh, was he totally wrong.
I couldn't take it, I didn't know what to say, what to do. I felt misunderstood, like I should be able to express my feelings. I should be able to speak and explain everything to my friends, but for some reason, I couldn't move my lips. My tongue didn't seem to work, and I felt frozen. Like a sweet, innocent looking cat that was trapped in a cage. With no one around to understand me, I couldn't say anything.
The only thing I could do was right in front of me. It kept moving around in my head. The idea that only seemed to work out for me now.
The only thing I could do.
Run.
Run like I was a super-fast incredibly quick Olympic runner.
Run now.
"Leave me alone!" I shrieked, then I pushed my way through my friends, ran out my bedroom door, through the hallway, past the kitchen and entry way, and running through the front door. I ran for the only possible place for me. The only other place I felt comfortable.
And as I ran away from my house and friends, I heard confused and comforted calls, but didn't have the heart to turn around. I couldn't look back, it would make me feel worse.
Why is this happening? I think I should just go back to my perfect life, with a reality TV show ahead in my fantasy.
Running just takes up too much energy.
And it's a desperate way of showing I'm a loser.
