Thank you to everyone who reviewed! It's always nice to hear what others think of my writing.
Camille's POV:
"You should've gone for acting." I say, walking forward. After a second, I notice Moose isn't standing next to me anymore. I turn around, and see a shocked expression on his face.
"Oh, come on Moose-Don't choose acting as well as dancing and electrical engineering. Isn't a double major enough?" I inquire.
"Yes, it is…but, acting, Chameleon! You should act!" Moose exclaims.
"Acting? Moose, really? I don't like acting!" I say.
"I bet you'd be great at it." Moose said, looking at me seriously.
"Moose, I'm not going to try acting. There's no point in it. I'm a photography major, end of story." I reply.
"Alright, Cam." Moose says, looking slightly deflated. We arrive at the Pirates house, and cut in through the side door and take the lift upstairs.
"Moose! Camille!" Natalie's voice exclaims.
"Hey, Natalie!" I said, hugging her.
"Girl, what has got you so happy?" Natalie asked.
"She's in loveeeeee." Moose teased.
"Moose! I am not in love." I said, blushing and lightly smacking his arm. Natalie raised her eyebrows and then rolled her eyes.
"Moose, stop torturing Camille. Luke is looking for you, something about him having new dance moves to show you." Natalie said. Moose wandered off in search of Luke, leaving Natalie and I alone.
"How have you been, Natalie?" I ask.
"I've been good. So…are you really in love with someone, Cam?" Natalie inquired.
"Well…promise not to tell anyone?" I whisper. Natalie nods her head, and I continue.
"Kid Darkness asked me out today." I very quietly say.
"Kid Darkness?" Natalie gasps.
"Should I have said no? I mean, I'm not really a part of The Pirates crew, so…he can't use me to get to you guys." I murmur.
"You said yes?" Natalie whispers.
"He's wonderful. We're going to the movies tomorrow." I say, smiling.
"Oooh, girl, you really do like him!" Natalie says, smiling at me. We laugh slightly, and then head to the stereo room to dance. Moose and Luke are there, and when Natalie sees Luke, she starts to walk towards him, swaying her hips slightly. Luke gives her a crooked grin, and Natalie wraps her arms around him when she was close enough to. He held her in his strong arms, and the gently pressed his lips against hers. I saw Moose smile, but his eyes were tinged with sadness. I wondered why he felt sad, but didn't dwell on it for long. I didn't love Moose; he was like a brother to me. But Raf…there could be a future with him. Being with Raf could actually be wonderful, as long as Moose and the other Pirates didn't over react. I felt my phone vibrate, and pulled it out of my pocket. It was a text from Raf, and it made me smile.
"Hey, beautiful, what are you up to?" Raf's text said.
"Not much, just chilling with a few friends. What about you?" I texted back.
"Reading a book." Raf texted back.
"Oh? What book?" I inquired.
"The Lovely Bones." Raf's text said.
"Is it good?" I text back.
"It's very well written. But there's a part I want you to hear." Raf says. After a few moments, my phone vibrates again with a text from Raf.
"If I had but an hour of love, If that be all that is given me, An hour of love upon this earth, I would give my love to thee." Raf texted.
"Awwwww." I whispered.
"You're so adorable." I texted back.
"Hey, Cam! Who ya texting?" Moose said, slinging his arm over my shoulders.
"No one." I blushed, and tucked my phone into my jeans. Moose raised an eyebrow at me, and I glanced away, towards Natalie and Luke, who were dancing together. They danced so easily together, and I wondered if I'd ever have that kind of unity with anyone.
"Girl, what is on your mind?" Moose whispered.
"Do you have any battles come up son, Moose?" I ask, avoiding his question. It totally figures that Moose would think something was wrong just because I went silent for a bit.
"Yeah, we have one in two days. But you are avoiding the question." Moose replied.
"Just thinking about school." I lied.
