A/N: Happy Halloween! Here's a little treat for you all ;) I guess I'm excited about this story and school hasn't been too bad so I've had more time to write the other chapters. I would like to think you're still excited about this story too? Hehe.
Camille walked through the lunch hall with Jo and Stephanie. It had been about a month since the scandal with the Jennifers leaked through the school and Jennifer A. was given a two week suspension with random laptop/cell phone checks when she returned. She supposedly went back to Beverly Hills to cool off. Camille looked at their table and saw that the other two Jennifers were still there. She felt bad for Jennifer V. since she basically had to switch between her friends. They continued to talk during acting class and became better friends. She thought Camille was a breath of fresh air and looked forward to seeing her in class.
Nate also seemed to look forward to acting class too as Ms. Edinburg had them working with their partners every session. Camille didn't mind working with him, he seemed like a nice enough guy. They had great chemistry while on stage, which Ms. Edinburg always complimented them on. The pair became fast friends and occasionally joked around after class.
"Hey Camille," Nate smiled at her.
"Hi Nate," she smiled back, "Where are you off to?"
He shrugged, "Tennis. I have to get my stuff from my dorm."
"Oh Logan is in that class," she casually mentioned.
"Yeah," he nodded, "He's a great player. It's always a challenge keeping up with him."
"Those boys always were competitive," Stephanie commented.
Nate laughed, "I'll say. Anyway Camille, I'll see you tomorrow."
She waved, "Bye."
When he was a good distance away, Stephanie sang, "He likes you."
Camille only rolled her eyes as she kept walking.
"Make a move, girl," she continued.
"Oh drop it," the brunette laughed, "Let's just see what happens."
They finally reached the table and the boys heard their giggling.
"What's going on?" Carlos asked.
"Nate has a crush on Camille," Stephanie stated as fact, "And I think Camille feels the same way."
Logan perked up, "Really now?"
Camille could have sworn she saw a hint of jealousy in his expression, "He's a nice guy… I don't know…"
"That's how it starts," Stephanie pointed out as she took a seat next to Carlos.
Camille sat next to Logan who moved closer to her. She looked at him with curiosity but he acted like nothing happened. She turned her focus on Jo, who sat between James and Kendall. Jo shared a shy smile with Kendall who returned the action. There was a slight blush that appeared on Jo's face and before Camille could comment on it, Stephanie spoke up.
"James, are you reading a book?"
He simply nodded his head, too engrossed in the text. After a few seconds, he put the book down, "Ever since you all banned me from seeing another girl forever, I needed a way to fill up my time."
"It has been good for him," Carlos commented, "He's been doing a lot better in his classes."
"We should have put this ban on him years ago," Kendall smirked.
James threw a fry at him, "Shut up!"
Classes went by slower than normal and Camille could not be any happier when her day was over. She rushed back to her dorm, hoping to take a quick nap but that plan was put on hold when her body collided with another.
"Oh my gosh!"
"Camille?"
"Nate," she let out a breath, "I'm sorry… I was just so eager to get out of class."
He laughed it off, "No worries. Are you ok?"
"Yeah," she nodded, "I just want to get back to my dorm and nap before dinner time."
"That doesn't sound like a bad idea," he agreed.
They shared a glance before slowly walking away.
"Hey," Nate asked, "Are you trying out for the school play?"
She turned around, "Most likely, even though I have no idea what it's about yet. You?"
"I think I will," he grinned, "I know I'm the new kid but it doesn't hurt, right?"
"Not at all!" she encouraged him, "For all we know, you'll have the best audition."
"That's sweet of you to say," he shook his head.
Camille gave Nate a reassuring smile, "Well we have been working together in Ms. Edinburg's class so I know your potential."
Nate smiled back, "Thanks. You're a really good actress, too. I'm sure you'll blow them away."
"Here's to hoping," she nodded.
They said their goodbyes and went their separate directions. Suddenly, Logan appeared by Camille's side.
"Hey," he smiled brightly.
"Hi, did you just get out of tennis?" she asked.
Logan looked at her curiously, "How did you know?"
"I just bumped into Nate," Camille motioned behind her, "He's in your class."
"Ahh yes," he drawled out, "Nate…"
She noticed the change in his voice, "Is there something wrong with him?"
"No," he immediately said, "Seems like a decent guy. Are you interested?"
She shrugged, "Like I said earlier, he's a nice guy. I guess if he asked me out on a date, I might say yes but right now, school and acting are my focus."
A look of relief flashed through Logan's eyes but went unnoticed by Camille.
"So do you know why Jo and Kendall are acting like shy elementary school kids?" she asked.
Logan replied, "Jo didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what?" Camille almost sounded panicked.
"I… Well… Maybe I shouldn't tell you…" he hesitated, "Just wait until Jo talks to you –"
She interrupted, "It has been a month and they've been acting like that for days."
Logan remained silent, fighting an internal battle. Camille just kept staring at him as they walked to their dorm. It took a few minutes but he finally snapped.
"Kendall and Jo kissed."
"What?"
"You didn't hear it from me!"
"When?"
"After she saw Jett and that girl and she ran back to her room."
"Why wouldn't she tell me that?"
"What's with the yelling?"
Logan and Camille turned around to see Jo staring at them oddly. They stared at her, unsure of what to say next.
A/N: Is this an odd place to end this? Hm. Well, the conversation will carry on in the next chapter and we'll get to hear what happened. Please review and let me know what you think. =) Anyway, have a Happy Halloween! Enjoy, get candy, stay safe, and all the good stuff!
