2. Space
He feels like something from outer space most days. Like an alien. He's here, at a new school, without his own family or friends. His mom reassured him that he would be fine, that he would have his team. But some of those days he feels isolated from them as well.
Maya's (and the 3 other freshman that seem to come with her) affection helps a little. He knows he's got a partner in almost every class and a table to sit with at lunch when the other Ice Hounds are doing something he apparently isn't cool enough for.
Still, he's oohed and aahed at and he kind of wants to tell everyone to just stop sometimes. He missed his home, where people loved and accepted him for just being Cam. Not Cam the Wonderboy.
The sound of his teacher's voice drags him out of his reverie, stumbling over his words to provide an answer to her question.
He stays attentive for a few more minutes before his resolve breaks and he begins to simply stare out of the window into the hallway.
It's quite boring. Just lockers and a water fountain, but it's enough for him to stare at and distract him from of suffocating in a void without oxygen.
The faint sound of sneakers hitting linoleum precedes the appearance of a red and black varsity jacket. An Ice Hound. The person emerges fully and somehow Cam isn't surprised to see their Captain take a long drink (Adams apple bobbing) before leaning back against a blue locker and tapping away at his phone. Cam's still staring when Dallas finally looks up. By the time Cam rationalizes that maybe this would be a good time to turn around, his Captain's brown eyes have already found his.
The older boy offers a nod before he's off to class (or maybe somewhere else, Dallas tends to do whatever he wants) again.
His surprise causes him to react slowly and when he finally smiles, he's just grinning at a locker.
It's okay though.
(Because maybe Dallas can be home for now)
First of all thanks so much for the review Degrassi-fan12. It may have seemed insignificant to you but it really motivated me :)
Just wanted to say that before I went on
Yeah, I don't really like this one that much but,to be honest, I'm not a very scifi person so I'm pretty sure I'll be stumped this whole genre
I don't know if Degrassi floors are linoleum, it just sounded nice. I'm almost certain Cam is also a 9th grader but if I'm wrong on any ages please correct me.
Tell me what you think of the story so far in the form of a review. I love me some ego stroking but constructive criticism is also much appreciated.
For the first time I'm doing the story as I go and it isn't pre written so I can take suggestions. The next one will be Technology/Computers
