Chapter 3: The Musical Prodigies and Rivalries
Roxxi rode to Cameron's house so they can practice the song. She looked at the neighborhood he lived in, it was so suburban and upper classed that she felt poor compared to Cameron. "Here we are." Cameron said driving up to his house. Roxxi gasped looking at the two story home. The front lawn was edged with poppies and roses and tulips were on the front window seals.
"Wow, Cameron, your place is gorgeous." Roxxi looked at the neatly organized patio on the left side of the house with a neighboring wood fence.
"Thanks," Cameron simply said and got out of the car running over to Roxxi's side and opening the door for her.
"Thank you."Roxxi said stepping out. Cameron smiled and went for the front door. The two walked in the cool air-conditioned house. Even the inside was gorgeous with modern art paintings on the beige walls and indoor plants which gave the home a bit more… pizzazz. Cameron dropped his keys on the little table next to the metal coat rack and his backpack on the floor.
"Hey, you thirsty?" Cameron asked walking to the kitchen that was in clear view from the living room. Roxxi shrugged.
"A little." She said and walked over to the stain glass counter top and sat in a cushioned island chair.
"Um… my mom's not here… how about a Smirnoff?" Cameron looked back to the red head girl.
"Isn't that some sort of alcoholic drink?" Roxxi asked.
"Well, it has a hint of it in there, but it's not that bad." Cameron said taking out two glass bottles of lemonade and blueberry flavored Smirnoff drinks. "Here, taste it, I'll guarantee you'll love it." Cameron pushed the bottle over to Roxxi. She took it and watched as Cameron jerked off the cap and took a long swig of it. Roxxi chuckled and opened the drink and sipped a little for it and tasted it to make sure she liked… and it actually wasn't that bad, she does like it.
"Nice, I love it." Roxxi exclaimed taking another swig of the beverage.
"Huh? I told you. Cameron raised his bottle. "Okay, so… let's get started on that song shall we?" Roxxi nodded and took her drink with her following Cameron upstairs to what was assumed his room. When she walked in, she immediately noticed the sketches and paintings on his walls.
"Damn Cam, these are pretty good." Roxxi said studying the drawings closely. Cameron sighed and smiled. He remembered the last girl that was in his room admiring the drawings. Cloe that is.
"Yeah I guess, I'm still practicing on them." Cameron shrugged and grabbed his guitar off the rack and then sat on his bed with the song book in front of him. He started strumming his guitar warming up. Roxxi admired every picture on his wall. She could see a real artist here.
"These are totally the shit." Roxxi said.
Cameron chuckled and continued to play a slow melody on his guitar. Roxxi soon identified a picture that looked like a girl she'd seen at school. She touched the picture and seen how the grey shading depicts her dark skin tone. "Hey, I think I know this girl." Roxxi said. Cameron looked up and spotted what she was staring at. It was the picture of Sasha he drew last year when he was crushing on her. He immediately stopped playing his guitar and stood up. He walked over to the wall and tore down the drawing, ripped it up into tiny pieces and threw it in the trash. Roxxi was alarmed after seeing him do that.
"Um… it was an awful drawing; I forgot it was up there." Cameron said sternly. He walked back over to his bed and picked up his guitar. Roxxi wanted to disregard what just happened, so she just went on and sat on the ledge at the bay window.
Minutes later, Cameron and Roxxi finally began rehearsing the song Cameron wrote for her and the band. Roxxi fumbled around with Cameron's pillows on the bay window. Cameron read over the lyrics and started singing them so she can catch on to the beat.
"Calling!" Cameron held the note and stopped. Roxxi looked at him and smiled. "Okay, when you sing this always add the 'H' sound in front of all your words, it'll keep your voice relaxed and you will be comfortable singing." Cameron said.
"Okay… I might need to keep you in handy for vocal lessons." Roxxi winked at him. Cameron glanced up at her and snickered.
"Yeah, now trying the note…1…2…3" Cameron snapped his fingers.
"Calling!" Roxxi sung.
"Now sing the rest of it." Cameron said and picked up his guitar and strummed it.
"I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world, from turning into a monster, eating us alive! Don't you ever wonder, how we, surviiiiive, but now that you're gone, the world is ours." Roxxi smiled after she sung her last note. Cameron stopped strumming the guitar and looked at her in congrads.
"Great job Rox, now I think you're ready." Cameron placed his guitar down on the side of his bed.
"Thank Cameron for the lyrics. You're awesome for that." Roxxi said flipping her red hair from her face.
"I know, right?" Cameron said and glanced at the digital clock on his nightstand. "Okay, so we have just enough time to make it to Joey's Joint, let's go." Cameron stood up.
"Um… it's called Joe's Java Joint." Roxxi chuckled.
"Yeah, yeah… whatever." Cameron chuckled. Roxxi soon heard a familiar dinging sound and a buzz in her pocket went off. She looked down at her phone and seen the name, Derek pop up. He's the guitar player for the band, and the strong silent type. She read the text:
Derek: hey, where r u?
Cameron glanced at Roxxi, "Who's that?" He asked.
"Oh, it's just Derek; he wants to know where I am." Roxxi shrugged.
"Band member?" Cameron asked.
"Guitarist actually." Roxxi said. Cameron nodded his head. Roxxi looked down to her phone and replied to the text.
Roxxi: I'm here getting the lyrics for our song from Cameron duh?
Derek: who's Cameron?
Roxxi rolled her eyes at her phone,
Roxxi: the song writer for out band dumbass!
Derek: WELL HURRY UP WE GO ON THE STAGE IN 20 MINUTES!
Roxxi could tell by his angry texting that he was feeling impatient.
Roxxi: okay I'll be there soon. Bye
Derek: whatever
Roxxi shoved her phone into the pocket of her jeans. She almost forgot that her band was matching, so she needed to change clothes quickly. "Um… Cameron, I'm, sorry this is so last minute, but I have to change clothes and we go on in twenty minutes!" Roxxi exclaimed.
"Okay… then you're just gonna have to change in the car, let's go. You can't be late." Cameron said and tugged her wrist all the way down the stairs then outside. Roxxi climbed in the back seat of his car so she could go on and change her garment. Cameron go in the driver seat and started the engine. "Hey, you have to give me directions you know." Roxxi sighed.
"Okay, take a left on San Jose Avenue and a right." Roxxi simply said. Cameron started driving. Roxxi was trying to rush and throw on her outfit. She couldn't see that well since it was almost nightfall. "Hey, I could borrow this light?" Roxxi turned on the light on the roof.
"Oh, sure." Cameron said sarcastically. Roxxi threw her clothes all over the back seat trying to keep them together. She started slipping on her skirt, struggling in the cramped space. Cameron looked into the mirror and peeked at her eyeing her small breasts. Cameron soon felt a hard slap on the back of his head.
"Stop staring, focus on the road." Roxxi commanded.
"Yes, ma'am." Cameron said and placed his eyes on the road. After ten short minutes Roxxi was dressed and Cameron was in search for the building. "Hey, which building is Joe's Java Joint?" he asked. Roxxi lean up and slapped him at the back of his head again.
"Don't you see the big orange letter on the building right there?" Roxxi pointed. Cameron sure felt stupid. They were finally at Joe's Java Joint thanks to Roxxi. He parallel parked his car next to a parking meter. Cameron got out of the car and placed money into the meter. Roxxi got out of the back seat and stood up on the sidewalk straitening her garment. She wore a plaid corset with a white tank underneath it for that rocker edge look, a gray plaid high waist punk Lolita bias frill skirt, ripped pantyhose and Dior Premiums black leather high heeled ankle boots.
She held her hand out and places a biker glove on it and adding a big ring onto her ring finger. Cameron stared at her and dropped a few quarters on the ground. He liked the way she looked in that rocker outfit. It fits her perfectly. Roxxi smoothened out her lips of the red lipstick and blew a kiss in the air. Cameron had dropped jaws. "Um… you dropped your change." Roxxi said.
Cameron looked down, "Oh,"
"So, how do I look?" Roxxi asked.
"St- stunning." Cameron stammered. He doesn't understand why he and most guys out there are attracted to what girls wear instead of what they look like in the outfits. Guess he'll never know.
" Anyway, I'll meet you inside, seeya." Roxxi waved. Cameron watched as she walked into the building. He sighed. He finally picked up the change off the ground and proceeded into putting it into the parking meter. He shoved his wallet in his pocket and begun to walk until he seen another familiar girl walking in the opposing direction. He squints his eyes to get a clearer visual of her and it was…Yasmin? What was she doing here? He quickened his pace and headed straight inside the building before she could notice him.
"Cameron?" He heard her familiar mousy voice behind him. Cameron froze and grimaced. He sighed and turned around to face her.
"Yasmin?" Cameron said in shock, literally.
"What are you doing here?" She asked. Cameron spun around and looked at her with direct eye contact.
"I am here with a friend, I wrote a few song lyrics for her and her band so… yeah, and that's it." Cameron said. "Well, nice seeing you, goodbye." Cameron saluted and walked into the seated crowd in the main are that had the scent of coffee and scones floating in the air.
"Cameron." Yasmin called after him and he ignored her like he hadn't heard her speak another word. Cameron took a seat in the back, far from the small stage at the bar section smelling coffee grounds all around him and people talking. Cameron glared across the dim lit room to see Yasmin taking a seat in front of the stage. Cameron couldn't believe she was here. Or knowing her, this could be one of those things that she'll attend to see some creative minded people perform. Cameron orders mocha and sat back and watched the remainder of the current performance. Some surfer looking kid was on stage reciting poetry in a dramatic way. About how the grass grows when she's her or something like that. Cameron is poetic, but not as good as that kid on stage; he could really learn something here.
"And as… she sways around on the sand, her heart melts into my hands, with a kiss that was put upon thy lips, she shall let her worries and sorrows flow through me." He said in a husky tone. For a guy looking like that, reciting romantic poetry like that… was amazing and talented. Cameron nodded his head to the words he spoke.
"And as she turns her beautiful head, my love has cast a spell on her, fore she isn't lonely anymore. I said: I love you." He said and lowered his head. The room erupted into claps and snaps. Cameron could see Yasmin across the dim lit room clapping and what looks like, jotting down a few notes in a notebook. Cameron watched as the surfer looking kid walked off stage feeling proud of himself. Then some guy with spiky dark brown hair walked upon the stage with a card in his hand and a microphone in the other.
"Okay, youngsters, that was Kyle Collins and he was just performing an original piece called Thy Lips. So, Open Mic is just getting started as out next group of performers get on and wow you guys. Bear with me as I well a cool band, Never Kiss You Goodbye!" He yelled and loafed off stage. Cameron figured that had to be Roxxi and her band. He places all of his attention to her standing on at the mic with a single light on her only. Cameron listened as he heard the electric guitars playing a gently yet upbeat melody. Then the drums immediately pounded.
You were my conscience, so solid, now you're like water
We started drowning not like we'll sink any further
I let my heart go; it's somewhere down at the bottom
But I got a new one, but you come back for the hope that you stolen
Then just as Cameron expected, the guitar's trick melodic sound played and then it smoothened out and the crowd was enjoying it
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster, eating us alive!
Don't you ever wonder, how we, surviiiiive,
But now that you're gone, the world is ours.
Cameron was surprised at how she paid attention to his teaching. The song sounded great.
I'm only human; I got a skeleton in me
I'm not the villain, despite what you're always preaching
Call me a traaaiiitor, I'm just collecting your victims
Their getting stronger, I hear them calling,
They're CALLING!
Cameron stood up and clapped enjoying the song he wrote for her. The crowd was going insane now. How awesome is this? Cameron thought.
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world,
From turning into a monster, eating us alive!
Don't you ever wonder, how we, surviiiiive,
But now that you're gone, the world is ours.
The guitars played hectically, exhilarating the crowd furiously. The sound played the trick melody again and smoothened out once more.
Well you found strength in solutions, I like the tension
And not always knowing the answers when you're gonna
Lose it, you're gonna lose it…
The tricky sounding melody came back and Cameron admits that the best part of the song. The drums were awesome and this band sounded really extreme.
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world,
From turning into a monster, eating us alive!
Don't you ever wonder, how we, surviiiiive,
But now that you're gone, the world is ours.
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world,
From turning into a monster, eating us alive!
Don't you ever wonder, how we, surviiiiive,
But now that you're gone, the world is ours.
The song was finally over and the guitarist left the final note lag. The crowd wanted more by assumption. Roxxi lifted the microphone in the air taking the excitement and the thrill of being in front of a large crowd (sort of). "This song would've never been made up if it weren't for our song writer, and my new friend, Cameron Songz!" Roxxi announced and Cameron felt embarrassed. Did she really just call him out? "C'mon!" Roxxi waved in his direction and a sudden spotlight was shined on him. He felt exposed. Cameron walked upon the stage and stood next to Roxxi with a huge smile don his face admiring the thrill of being on stage. "Since, he's a great song writer; he will perform a song for us!" Roxxi yelled into the mic, "Would you guys like that!" she exclaimed and the crowd roared. Cameron looked at Roxxi.
"I have nothing to—"
"Just perform something from you list of songs you wrote." Roxxi handed him the mic. Cameron had nothing in mind and he felt nervous, he didn't know what to do. He looked back to see Roxxi cueing the band to stay on stage and play a sound for him. The crowd continued to cheer. What does he do? He can't leave the crowd hanging like this. Dammit Roxxi, Cameron thought. He clutched the microphone in his hands and gulped looking out into the crowd.
"Dude aren't you gonna sing something already?" said one of the band members with the bass guitar. Cameron gulped again, soon he came up with the sudden idea.
"Hey, you, give me your guitar." Cameron said looking at the dark shaggy haired guitarist who seemed to be Derek by assumption.
"Why?" he asked.
"Do you want to look like a fool on stage?" Cameron said harshly. He gave Cameron his guitar seeing that Derek agrees with him. Cameron unplugged the amp and tested it out trying to match the perfect sound for a song he's thought about. He cued the drummer and bass player and the pianist to play him a particular beat on his cue. The crowd silenced as he strummed a better clearer sound. They listened to his melody.
So many obvious questions have gone unmasked
How can you stand and where do you fall so fast
He cued the pianist…
You're taking a step and taking a breath
You never expect the answer was death
Cause this is hardly true
Nights that you had found her
And days spent without her
Make everything feel like it's slipping away
As you scream
This world is far, this world is far from ours
He slowed the pace of the song on cue and played the guitar.
After some time I imagine you sleep alright.
He strummed the guitar softly.
Until times that you hear her voice at night
You're telling yourself that it's all in your head
She's out on the porch and your closer to dead
Cause its not what she deserves
Nights that you had found her
And days spent without her
Make everything feel like it's slipping away
As you scream
This world is far, this world is far from ours.
He played a melody and the crowd enjoyed the sound. Cameron cues the drummer to do a light beat on the symbols. Cameron strummed the guitar with more passion and admiration. The pianist and bass chimed in slowly. He began to sing:
Well the picture frame on the dark beige wall
Holds a picture of someone you've held before
Now, she's nowhere to be seen
He passionately strummed the guitar.
Well the picture frame on the dark beige wall
Holds a picture of someone you've held before
Now, she's nowhere to be seen
He paused.
Nights that you had found her
And days spent without her
Make everything feel like it's slipping away
As you scream
This world is far, this world is far from ours.
You know
Cameron held the note as her cued the band to sing back ground after he repeated the first few lines.
(This world is far)
(This world is far)
(This world is far)
(This world is far)
(This world is far)
(This world is far)
(This world is far)
(This world is far)
(This world is far)
(This world is far)
(This world is far)
The crowd clapped and cheered for him admiring his piece that he put together. Cameron gave Derek his guitar back and left off stage feeling the feeling of energy and excitement, they really loved his song. The prepared that under ten minutes. Roxxi ran up to him and quickly ambushed him with a tight hug.
"Cameron, oh my god, that was so amazing!" Roxxi exclaimed happily.
"Nah, it was nothing." Cameron smiled. "But I swore I was so close to pissing on myself."
"Wow and your voice is so beautiful." Roxxi said. She took her arms off of my shoulders quickly and placed them behind her back.
"Um… thanks." Cameron chuckled. "So your band is called Never Kiss You Goodbye, huh? I like it." Cameron said.
"Thanks, we wanted something simple and pleasing." Roxxi said.
"Cool." Cameron nodded.
"So how about you, me, and the band celebrate out music over a hot cup of caramel java, shall we?" Roxxi said.
"Sure totally." Cameron agreed. Roxxi leaned over the counter and ordered six coffees. Cameron figures that he's had enough cappuccino for one night, oh well he'd better enjoy this friendship or else...
"Yo Roxx!" Cameron turned his head to see Derek and three other guys followed behind him. Roxxi turned her head in the direction she heard Derek's voice.
"Derek, hey!" she exclaimed. ""Did we rock the stage or what?"
"Yeah it was awesome, so would you like to introduce us to you're blonde friend?" Derek pointed to Cameron. Cameron glanced at Roxxi, then back to the four guys.
"Oh, Um… Cameron this is my band, that's Derek our guitarist." Roxxi said.
"Yeah, we sorta met." Derek placed his guitar down by Roxxi's seat and the coffee bar.
"This is Jerald, and Mike. Mike's our pianist and Jerald is our bass player." Roxxi pointed out. "And that's Zeke, our hardcore drummer." Roxxi said. Cameron quickly studied the guys without giving them awkward stares. Mike and Jerald are twins with bushy blonde hair, green eyes and the soft boyish face with a tan complexion. Zeke was wearing a black shirt with a witty message on it: 'Your chances aren't slim, they're anorexic' Cameron chuckled at the witty phrase. He also had a tattoo of a star on the side of his neck.
"Hey, guys. Your music is phenomenal." Cameron complimented.
"Thanks, you're not so bad yourself." Zeke said taking a seat next to Cameron. "So, you're the new song writer?" he asked.
"Most definitely." Cameron answered.
"Sweet, so how long do you plan on staying in this band?" Derek asked randomly.
"I don't know, I guess until you guys get tired of me." Cameron smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm about tire of you now." Derek muttered under his breath. Cameron decided to just ignore that comment and focus on the fun he's having.
"Hey, Cameron, how do you get your hair to do that?" Mike asked on the far end on the bar counter. Cameron ran his finger through his hair. He actually doesn't know himself. Mike was pointing out the style his hair was. Cameron only combs the front of his hair up and has the sides brushed down almost like the tromp hairstyle.
"Yeah, it looks, cool bro." Jerald chimed in.
"Oh, I just comb the front and lay down the side, that's all." Cameron said feeling overwhelmed for giving out hair advice to the twins.
"Cool." The twins said at the same time. They were finally given their coffees and chatted a little more about what their looking forward to in the band since Cameron's the new song writer.
Later…
"Hey… Cameron right?" Derek walked over to Cameron posted at his car waiting to take Roxxi home. Cameron looked up from his cell phone and stared at Derek with the orange sigh on the brick wall making his appearance look dark and mystic.
"Yeah?" Cameron faced him and narrowed his eyes.
"Huh." Derek started. "Stay away from Roxxi got it?" He said harshly. Cameron was confused, why was he saying this?
"Roxxi and I are just friends; we're not even like that." Cameron defended himself.
"Is that so, lyrical boy? Well, I saw her first and I swear if you even decide to throw a move on her, you're all wrong, buddy, you won't even like what's coming to you if you even attempt a move." Derek threatens in a harsh tone pointing at Cameron.
"Dude, cool it, I don't want your girl, okay?" Cameron put his hands up shaking his head.
"Good and it better stay that way." Derek pointed toward the ground and the walked away into the darkness over to his car on the other side of the street. Cameron frowned. What did I do wrong? He thought to himself. He took out his phone and logged onto Facebook. He decided to update his status by posting what's currently on his mind with giving out names. He began typing:
Romantic poetry tends to make people feel good.
Music makes people feel happy and joyful with life.
And then rivalries… are just the beginning of a new chapter.
He posted the status and waited to see who liked it. Already three likes had appeared on his wall. He went to see who liked it. A guy named Chad Quarry, a girl named Stacy Lunsford and Yasmin Martinez. She liked his status? Cameron was puzzled, well… now what? Yasmin walked passed him and glanced at him and walked straight for her car. Cameron watched her drive off understanding the fact that they weren't on speaking terms either. Cameron looked down at his phone again with two more likes. One from… Eitan Myers and some girl named Shanna.
Cameron sighed and placed his ear buds in his ears to listen to some music. He played Outlaws of Love by Adam Lambert, feeling the mood he was now feeling, the song just worked. He listened as the lyrics stood out to him, "Everywhere we go, we're looking for the sun, nowhere to grow old we're always on the run, they say we'll rot in hell, but I don't think we will, they branded us enough, outlaws of love." Cameron went back on his Facebook wall and seen that he's got another 'like' on his recent post from… Cloe Raymond?
Cameron rolled his eyes. But with a few of his old friends liking his status, it's a wonder they didn't befriend him on Facebook. Or they probably want to keep him on their friend list just to have an extra friend. He looked on the border across the wall seeing that he's gotten a message. Cameron was nervous for wanting to open it. So he let his curiosity get the best of him and he read the message. It was just one of his other friends from other states just saying that she love his status. Roxxi walked out of the building and stood in front of Cameron with a huge grin on her pale face.
"Hey, Cameron… guess what?" She started. Cameron had all of his attention on his phone and didn't even notice Roxxi standing there. Roxxi tapped on his shoulder. Cameron looked up and jerked the ear buds out of his ears.
"Oh, Roxxi, sorry... what's up?" Cameron asked exiting off of Facebook and shoving his phone into his back pocket.
"Guess what?" She asked again.
"What?" Cameron said with less enthusiasm as she had.
"We are the new opening acts for Open Mic every Thursday to kick off the show and you're the main event!" Roxxi exclaimed. Cameron's eyes were big.
"No Way!" Cameron was shocked. He hid his talent from the world so long that he didn't realize how much acknowledgement he'd get.
"Yes way! Isn't that awesome?" Roxxi exclaimed.
"Totally!" Cameron had a huge smile on his face. Roxxi squealed and gave Cameron another hug, but was tighter than the first one. Cameron chuckled as she jumped up and down happily in his arms. "Okay." Cameron snickered. Roxxi pulled back and stared into his eyes. Cameron did the same with her. "Well, I guess we should get going, huh?"
"Um …yeah." Roxxi tucked a strand of red hair behind her ears. Cameron opened the back door of his car for her so she could get in and collect her things. Cameron walked the driver seat and started the engine. Roxxi was in the back seat changing out of her clothes and back into what she wore prior. Cameron couldn't help but notice what she's doing.
"Um… Rox, why are you changing clothes again?" Cameron asked.
"My dad would kill me when he finds out what I wear at night." Roxxi said.
"He doesn't know that you're a song-writer?" Cameron asked.
"No, he doesn't like the fact I write songs, he thinks it's a waste of time." Roxxi said struggling to pull up her torn styled bleach stained skinny jeans.
"Aw, why?" Cameron asked preventing himself from looking into the mirror at Roxxi.
"It's a long story. I'll just tell you this. When my mom died of cancer three years ago, he hasn't been … well working so to say and hasn't been making enough money, so when he was laid off as a bank teller / manager of the bank or whatever, he hasn't been the same and he feels that if he can't possibly make good money, then there is no need for anyone else in his family to be happy." Roxxi explained. Cameron was shocked. A girl like Roxxi doesn't seem like the sympathetic type.
"Does it bother you that your mom… is gone?" Cameron gulped.
"Yeah a little, I just know that she's in a way better and peaceful place." Roxxi said and climbed over to sit in the front seat with Cameron. Cameron nodded and agreed with her. "So where's your dad?" Roxxi asked. Cameron glanced at her.
"Um… he's in the Marines and National Guard, so it's almost like I see him twice ever other year or so." Cameron shrugged. Roxxi nodded her head.
"Oh. When was the last time you remembered seeing him?" Roxxi asked.
Cameron thought about it. It was pretty long ago, "I really can't remember. I think I was 13 years old the last I saw him because it was Veteran's Day and I remember that he gave me a ribbon that he got for inspection one year and it was for excellence or something." Cameron said. "But I do miss him; I wish he could see me now." Roxxi glanced at Cameron and smiled. She touched his leg. Cameron quickly looked at her and paused.
"It'll be okay, Cameron. I'm sure he'll get to see you someday soon, and I hope that he does." Roxxi said. Cameron smiled with lifted spirits.
"Yeah, me too." Cameron sighed. After Roxxi showed him the directions to her home, Cameron stopped and parked on the side of the sidewalk. Cameron looked out of his window and seen two three story apartment buildings parallel to each other. He seen as a few relentless strangers were standing outside assuming that they were having a conversation.
"So this is the place." Cameron sighed as Roxxi begun collecting her things form the back seat of his car. Cameron had only known Roxxi for three days and he's felt like he known her, and hated to see her go to her home life.
"Yeah, disgusting I know," Roxxi admitted to herself. Roxxi opened the car door and got out. Cameron rolled down his window and Roxxi stood over his window. "Well Cameron, thank you so much, you're so totally awesome." Roxxi chuckled.
"Nah, you're welcome. Oh and I almost forgot." Cameron said and dug into his duffle bag on the floorboards for a notebook. He handed it to Roxxi.
"That's a list of song I wrote for you and the band and the musical notes and beats for your band to play." Cameron said.
"Wow, thank you." Roxxi said.
"You're welcome again." Cameron shrugged. "Well, see you at school tomorrow?" Cameron asked.
"Sure." Roxxi said and walked over to a random bush to grab her skateboard. Cameron looked at the skateboard then to Roxxi.
"You skateboard?" Cameron asked seeing that Roxxi is a total tomboy.
"Yeah, why?" Roxxi said.
"Oh, I just noticed the board." Cameron said. "We should hit up the skate park sometime."
"I down, well see you around, Cameron." Roxxi said and hopped onto the skate board coasting to the apartments. Cameron rolled up his window and drove out of the neighborhood. He was on the freeway on his way back to his home.
He turned on the radio and enjoyed the sound of jazz, a silent night and no drama for once in a day… well take that back…
Chapter 3 is full fledged music. And it looks like Cameron has a rival. Cool right? Sorry I haven't uploaded in a VERY long while, my computer's internet was slow and kept losing connection and almost deleted this chapter, would that be sad? But now I'm back and for good this time! Well the songs featured in this story belong to the artists who made them, not me. And the band name I made up. Next what do you think of Roxxi's life? Well the next chapter is coming soon so hang on for another wild ride. I love anything creative… so listening to music is one of my favorite hobbies and there will be quite enough songs mentioned in here due to Cameron and Roxxi. Sorry the chapter wasn't long enough Please R&R!
