I keep forgetting to make comments before I post the chapter but then it's too late. So hello my lovely readers, I love you so so much, and you're the reason (besides my evergrowing obsession with Degrassi) that I keep writing. I also wanted to dedicate this chapter to TheFlowersWillFall because she was sweet enough to dedicate one to me. So enjoy!

CAM

Belle's apartment was in the center of Riverdale, so I didn't feel too bad telling Maya we were waking to the next place. It was really chilly when we got outside, but hey welcome to Canada, and he had thought New England was cold in March. My girlfriend shivered next to me, Maya's my girlfriend, wow, could life get much better? I took my Ice Hounds jacket off, and placed it on Maya's shoulders, then circled my arm around her small waist.

"Thanks," Maya smiled, sticking her arms into the holes. "Oh gosh, this is so warm! Remind me to give it back to later or I might be tempted to steal it."

"Steal? You can't steal something that now belongs to you."

Utter disbelief crossed her face, "No way," Maya said, shaking her head. "I know how much this jacket means to you, I'm not taking it."

She started to shrug out of it, but I stopped her, "First off, you mean more to me. Second, it's tradition for the hockey girlfriends to wear the team jacket at games, so you'll have to wear it anyway. And third, I like the fact that the jacket says 'Don't even think about it.' to any idiot that comes within ten feet of you, just in case Tori isn't there to say it first."

Maya starting laughing really hard, "The sad part is you don't even know how true that is." That's when blaring music threatened to interrupt us. The Dot stood thirty feet in front of us, and understanding crossed over Maya's face. "You're taking me to Karaoke Night at Above the Dot?"

I feel like an idiot for thinking it now, but I didn't think The Dot would be that packed. Guess I'm just the naïve new kid! Two of Maya's best friends were waiting at the door. Tori went ahead and applauded herself for a job well done, "I know, Cam, you don't have to tell me. You couldn't have done it without me. I'm ready for the compliments."

Zig stepped in, "Tori, sweetie, all you did was tell him her favorite food."

Tori scoffed, "Karaoke Night was my idea too!"

"Um, no," I stopped her. "That was very much Zig's idea."

"Oh, shut up, Campbell! No one cares." exploded Tori, and the rest of us cracked up. "Do you want to argue with me or eat?" As much as I enjoyed getting the best of the curly-haired diva, that was an obvious answer.

Everyone who ate dinner at the Dot, got free admission to Karaoke Night on the floor above us, so we used that to our advantage. Tori and Maya split a soup and salad combo, and Zigmund and I shared an order of buffalo wings which I later regretted. Still it worked because the bill was less than if we had paid to just get into Above the Dot. I didn't want to be cheap, but you got to love a good deal.

Upstairs was pretty amazing – and crowded. Half of Degrassi was there: The twins were on the makeshift stage singing Party Rock Anthem, I saw Dallas dancing with a pretty brunette senior, and Luke Baker with the blonde singer (with his twin awkwardly thirdwheeling), Mo from Maya's band was there with his girlfriend, Katie Matlin was on the dance floor making out with some guy…. Wait, what?

Maya followed his gaze and found her sister, "Holy sh-." She turned towards me, "Would I be an awful little sister if I took a picture for blackmail." There was an evil twinkle in her eyes.

It was extremely loud, so I leaned down to talk into her ear, "Probably not great little sister behavior, but according to every sitcom I've ever watched, totally allowed."

Maya laughed and pecked my cheek. The ginger twins had finished their shuffling and were replaced with Luke's date. She picked up an acoustic guitar and belted right into "It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars. I turned to ask Maya to dance, but suddenly nerves hit me, I'd never actually slow danced with anyone before, rec hockey practices back home were always Friday nights when the school had dances. I ran for the bathroom.

Checking to make sure no one else was there, I sat on the radiator and tried taking nice, big, deep breaths. C'mon Cam, it's Maya, she doesn't give a crap about your dancing skills. Besides it's slow dancing, basically hugging while swaying back and forth no big deal…. What is a big deal is disappearing in the middle of a date. I pulled myself together, relaxed, and went to go find my girlfriend.

She was waiting in the same spot. "Hey, handsome," Maya said hugging me, and I smiled. She smirked mischievously, "I got the picture. I'm thinking Katie's doing my French homework for the next month."

I laced our fingers together, "So…. You wanna dance?"

Maya looked taken aback, "Of course, I just didn't think it was your thing"

"It's not that," I said hesitantly. "It's just that I've never actually slow danced before."

She just smiled, "It's easy, silly." Maya pulled me towards the dancefloor. "Okay, so all you have to do is put your arms here," she put my arms circling her waist, "And I put my arms here," her arms snaked around my neck, "Finally we make like rowboats and rock back-" The song ended. "OH COME ON!"

Her obvious disappointment made me laugh, "The next slow song I'm all yours." That made her smile, and I tucked her under my arm. Mo and Marisol got on stage and did a rendition of The Wanted's Glad You Came. At this time, Katie (still making out with the tall guy) bumped right into us. She turned around to apologize and was face-to-face with Maya. The two Matlins started arguing about dating venues, and I excused myself.

Tori was dancing with some of her Power Squad friends, and Zig was sitting in a back booth just chilling. "Hey, man," I greeted him with a high five. "You sing, right?"

Zig looked unsurprised, "Coldplay is Maya's favorite band. I'll check if they have any songs by them, if they do, sure." He answered my question before I asked it.

"Thanks, Zig, I owe you one."

"It's nothing, I still owed Maya for getting me and Tor back together." I love a bargain.

A couple minutes later Zig was on stage and the music for "Fix You" began. I stole Maya away from her fuming sister, and tugged her closer to me. I followed her earlier instructions, and the swaying thing wasn't actually that bad. Maya put her head against my chest, "You talked Zig into singing for us?"

"It didn't require much effort, he pretty much offered." I said truthfully.

Icy blue eyes stared into mine, "I don't know how I managed to get the sweetest guy in all of Ontario," she whispered.

I kissed her hair, "Lies," she tried to protest but I stopped her, "I don't know how I managed to get the kindest, funniest, prettiest girl in Canada." Extremely corny, but I was beginning to think it was true. I don't know what I'm gonna do when I have to leave.

MAYA

It was a little past eight when Cam said it was time to hit the next place. I was surprised, then disappointed, then just really excited. I figured that we would just stay here until the end of the night; the slow dancing had been awesome, plus I had been able to spend time with Zig and Tori, but this night could only go up from here and couldn't wait to see what else he had planned. "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Where are we going?" I asked Cam while walked.

"Not telling!" Cam squeezed my hand.

"Oh come on," I begged. "I'll do anything!"

"Lips are sealed," he chimed.

An evil smile perked at my lips, "Bet I can change that." I stood on my tip toes and kissed him, we stopped walking for a minute, and then he pulled away.

"Not. Telling." He whispered in my ear.

Fifteen minutes later, we were standing in front of Blakely Ice Center, Belle was waiting at the door for us. This should have occurred to me earlier.

"Hey, kiddo," Belle ruffled Cam's hair, "Hi, Maya," and smiled at me. She handed Cam a key ring with a rainbow of colors. "Red one gets you into the front door, blue gets you to the skates, and silver opens up Rink #1. At 11:05, I'm checking the security cams to make sure you've left, remember to lock out. Have fun!" And like that she was gone.

The rink was huge, there was a café, a skate shop, mini arcade, a lounge, and we had it ALL to ourselves. I tugged Cam's arm, "Arcade?"

"Sorry, I don't know where the key to it is, and don't think I don't know you're just trying to avoid skating," then he dragged me to the room marked "Skate Storage". "What size?"

"Six," I answered dutifully. "It's not that I'm trying to avoid skating, I just try to avoid anything that requires the grace I was born without."

He laughed, "Glad you to know you have no faith in your teacher." He laced my shoes on while I protested, then literally dragged through Rink #1's doors. At the gate to the ice was my final stand, I kicked and squirmed and begged but Cam just slung me over his shoulder like a firefighter. He swiftly skated out to the farthest possible spot from the gate, "I going to put you down now, Maya, don't make me regret it." he warned.

My legs felt like baby Bambi walking for the first time, and I glared at Cam, "How thoughtful of you to return me to me rightful place on the ground."

Cam stood facing me, holding both my hands, "It's okay, I know all that snark is some defense mechanism." I scoffed. "This part's quite simple now all you have to do is push with one foot, push with the other, then you the momentum to glide."

I did it, but I wasn't happy about it, Cam skated backwards, keeping me steadied. "I'm going to kill you, Campbell Saunders. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you…." I kept muttering.

Cam cut me off, "If I die out here, you'll die of hypothermia before you make it back to the gate." And he was one hundred percent right.

We continued with small talk and death threats, and after a couple hours, Cam and me were skating side by side. I still hadn't fallen, and I was feeling a little cocky, so I let go of Cam's hand. I made it about twenty feet before I realized what a bad idea it was, I missed the warmth of his hand, and I had no idea how to keep myself upright. Before I knew it my legs were three feet ahead of the rest of me, and I fell backwards. Cam tried to catch me, but I was too far gone and ended up just pulling him down with me.

The first impact of my butt with the ice wasn't that bad, then Cam handed on top of me. "Damn it!" He slid off, "Sorry, My, I should've caught you." Guilt and a blush filled his face.

I laughed, "Thanks for trying. Sorry I pulled you down with me."

"I'm not. If you're falling, I want to fall with you." He smiled sweetly at me, and then planted one quickly on my lips, but I pulled him in for more. We made out on the ice like that for a couple minutes before Cam's phone went off. He pulled it out of a pocket and I saw the Caller ID. A young woman with mousey brown hair and big brown eyes with the name Belle came up on the screen.

Cam put the call on speaker, "Hey, Belle!" we said in unison.

"Hi, Maya!" Belle answered in a friendly voice, that changed quickly to a motherly tone, "Campbell Blake Saunders, it's 11:06, and I'm looking at you! Get Maya home now before her parents hate you!"

Cam and I exchanged a look, How long had she been watching us? "Yes, ma'am!" he said, and hung up.

We walked back to my house quickly because I really wanted my parents to approve of Cam, because whether they liked it or not, they were going to be seeing a whole lot more of him.

Cam pressed his lips to mine on the doorstep, and even though I knew it would happen I still wanted to kill Ian when he opened the door and cleared his throat. "They're here!" he called to my parents.

They were instantly at the door, "Mom, Dad, this is my boyfriend Cam Saunders." I introduced. They were the friendly Matlins as always, my dad asked him about hockey, and Mom asked how he liked Toronto.

"Toronto is beautiful, but you know," He shot a smile at me, "It's the people that make the place." Cam said goodbye to my parents and Ian, and then kissed my cheek, and left. There was a tangible pain in my chest at watching him leave, I didn't think I could wait another day to see him.

Ian and Dad returned to whatever sport they were watching, and my mom made two mugs of hot cocoa. Katie was probably still at the Dot with Jake Martin, her curfew wasn't for another hour. "Did you have a good night, sweetheart?" she finished off the drinks with a ridiculous amount of whipped cream.

"Yeah," I said with a big goofy grin on my face. "It was perfect."

And that is the end of our first little mini story. I had a blast writing it, and can't wait to get started on the next couple ones. Loving the prompts, can't wait to hear some more! Love you all so much!
