Chapter 6
Maya's P.O.V.
It was after third period when I got pulled aside by Brook. She looked annoyed about something, but then again didn't she always? My hatred for her had grown since we last saw each other and that was only a mere 5 days ago. "Where have you been? I told you to meet me in the same classroom on Wednesday!" I huffed at her. "Oops my bad, must have forgotten. You know with band practice and all. See you around Brooky." Snickering at the look on her face I began walking down the hallway to my locker. "Where do you think you're going? We have to talk about what you are going to do. Unless… you want to find out what the 'or else' part is." That's what I was afraid of, that she would bring that up again. But I would be stupid to go with what she wanted. "Okay fine." I said, seeing as I didn't have much of a choice anyway. "What do you want me to do Barbie?" Rummaging through her backpack she pulled out a new pair of skates. "Here take these." Once they were in my hands I traced the blade with my finger only to have it start bleeding. "Damn these are sharp. What do you want me to do with these?" not that I was willing to do anything… it just had to be this way for now. Owen couldn't really help me or else he would have gotten Brook of my back. She wouldn't be standing right here next to me now telling me what to do. This was far from over and she was going to do everything in her power to make me miserable, that one part was clear. "You ask so many questions. Just come with me!" I felt like I was her dog and she had me tied to a leash and we were going where she wanted. "Well you don't answer many. Just tell me where you are taking me." We kept walking for another two minutes in silence until we stopped in front of the sports center. "Have you ever been here before?" This question was rather stupid; of course I had been here hundreds of times, waiting for Cam to get out of practice. "Of course, I always wait for my boyfriend here." She shook her head rather pleased. "Good then that means you know your way around here. I want you to go inside the locker room and put these in Dallas's locker. Make sure you replace them with the skates in there and don't move things around too much, he won't be able to tell someone switched them that way. Then come back here and give those skates to me, simple enough?" I was so confused on why we were doing this. It was as if she wanted to help Dallas by giving him new skates and replacing his beat up ones. "I still don't see the point of this. It's like you're helping him skate better or something. Which makes no sense since you're trying to bring his team down." She had her hands over her chest. "Just go and do as you are told before someone sees us. Go." Brook said pushing me in the direction of the hockey locker rooms. I felt so bad for going in there when I wasn't supposed to be. But man did it reek in there. Covering my nose with my hand I quickly skimmed down the rows of lockers and looked for the one with Dallas's name taped on the outside of it. Once I found it I took out the older skates and replaced them with the newer ones and closed it running right out of there, not wanting to be seen. Before coming out I made sure to look both ways and saw Brook standing in the corner and waving me in her direction saying it was okay to come out. "That's all you want me to do? Couldn't you have just done that yourself?" I walked over to her and handed her the dirty skates. "Uhm.. there is one more thing today. I want you to go and video tape the practice tonight, just don't let anyone see you there. Then give me the tape tomorrow. Now go before someone sees you, I still have to go get rid of these." I was relieved that this all she was making me do, it was kind of little things that weren't that significant or dangerous. Maybe this won't be so bad… if I pay off this debt she says I have with little things like these then soon enough she will leave me alone for good. But of course I was too dumbfounded to figure out that this was all a part of her big plan, to get revenge. And these little things would turn far more risky than expected.
Cam's P.O.V.
I had been missing Maya lately. We didn't have a chance to spend any time over the weekend together and I had a plan on taking her out tonight. It was karaoke night at Little Miss Steaks and I knew that she would want to go and sing there. Heck maybe I would even join her for old times' sake. When I was with her I was willing to try new things and do the things she loved and made her happy. It was a good way to balance out our relationship. The class I looked forward to the most was French because we had that subject together. Just as I was turning the curb to my locker I thought I saw her blonde locks going the other way. Trying to avoid everyone's glares for my sudden turn of direction I went straight after my girlfriend so we could at least walk to class together. "Hey Maya." I said finally managing to catch up to her. "Hey." She said rather glumly. I could instantly tell that something was bothering her. "What's wrong, did something happen?" shaking her head no I knew she was hiding something. "No everything's fine. What make you think something is wrong?" I was not going to let this slide so easily. "Come on Maya, I know you better than that. Please just tell me if something is going on." She looked deeply into my eyes and I could tell she was scared of something and I was determined to find out what it was. Maya didn't even have to say anything for me to know there was in fact something deeply wrong, her eyes said it all. But I could also see that she wasn't ready to talk about it so I wouldn't push her into it if she wasn't comfortable talking about it. "Cam I promise, if there is something going on you would be the first to know." Nodding my head I decided it was best to leave it alone for now and proceeded asking her about our date tonight. "Okay, just making sure. Hey M can I ask you a question?" I had interlaced our fingers together and waited for her answer. "Sure, go ahead." Taking a deep breath I felt a little nervous about asking her out. Even though I had asked her out on dates millions of times I still got butterflies in my stomach every time I was around her. Man did that sound cheesy… whatever, she was so worth it all. I was so lucky to have her. "I was hoping you would let me take you out tonight. To Little Miss Steaks, its karaoke night and I thought you might like to sing. What do you say M?" Without even answering she stopped in her tracks and gave me a hug then a long passionate kiss. Now that was a nice surprise. "Of course! And I'm glad you remembered that I told you about open mic night. What time Mr. Saunders?" She playfully said. It was absolutely adorable whenever she called me that. "Well Miss Matlin, I was thinking maybe after practice… so around 6. How does that sound?" Once we started walking again she said, "Perfect." This time I brought her in for a kiss and we had made it just in time for French class. Tonight was going to be amazing, and of course the day just had to drag on.
Maya's P.O.V.
Today I had to film the practice for Brook or else she would kill me. Almost completely forgetting about it I was already halfway home when I remembered. Running back I grabbed a video camera from the special affects room. The hockey rink in our school was by the pools so I had to sneak past all the locker rooms and other sports practices to get there. My only problem was getting inside unnoticed. Looking around for a minute I finally noticed a little trap door that led to the bleachers in the far back. Perfect I thought, I would hide there and film the stupid practice. After setting it up in a good angle I took out my head phones and turned on some music so I could concentrate on my homework. Figuring that I didn't have to constantly watch the camera while it recorded I could get a head start on my homework. Getting most of my work done I slowly packed up my things and checked the time it was only three and practice wouldn't be over for another three hours. 'Hmm… maybe I can set it to record for that certain time and leave it here until tomorrow and then get it? Works for me!' I said making my way out of the rink and down the front steps of Degrassi. The thought of my plans in a few hours came rolling into mind. I was so excited for tonight. Rushing home I made sure to first pick the perfect outfit, and then hurry through the rest of my homework. By the time I was done with that it was 4 o'clock. Two hours would be enough to get ready right? Quickly I jumped in the shower and came out putting my outfit on immediately and then getting started on my hair. At least an hour must have passed by the time I was done getting ready. Pulling my phone out of my purse I looked at the time only to see that I had 10 minutes to spare. It was 5:50 and Cam wouldn't be here for another 10 minutes. I went back over to my vanity mirror and sat down making sure everything looked perfect. My hair was curled and put to the side, with one big French braid wrapping all around the back of my head. Looking closer in the mirror I admired my reflection. Katie helped me apply some make-up. We settled on mascara, eye liner and a smoky eye shadow to make my eyes really pop. They were Cam's favorite feature on my face. I stood up for a moment and fixed the creases in my outfit. I walked over to my full length mirror and looked myself up and down. The skirt I chose has layers of ruffles and a few different shades of purple. While that fell mid-thigh I chose black flats to go with that and a purple tank top and black cardigan to top the outfit off. And for accessories my guitar shaped ring that I never took off and a heart necklace that my parents gave me for my 14th birthday. By the time I finished re-applying my lip gloss Katie was yelling for me to come downstairs. I slowly descended the stairs and saw Cam's jaw drop which was adorable. "Wow you look amazing." Smiling at his compliment I said, "Thanks. Ready to go?" He nodded his head, at a loss for words. "See you later Katie. Tell mom and dad I'll be back by 9." Giving her a quick hug she whispered in my ear, "You look hot. Go out and have some fun." Gladly taking her advice I walked back over to Cam and took his hand and we made our way over to the car where his billet dad was waiting for us.
Cam's P.O.V.
The moment I saw Maya I was so lost for the right words to say. She had the most adorable look on her face and it was like I was falling in love all over again. "Wow you look amazing." Was all I could muster. 'Way to go Cam, way to go.' I mentally face palmed myself for being so pathetic. I should have called her gorgeous. She was too beautiful for words. 'Enough rambling… take her hand Cam and go, your billet dad is waiting.' Once we had gotten in the car the ride was pretty silent since it was kind of awkward with my billet dad driving us there, it was a nice gesture of him to offer taking us there though. We soon came to a short stop and I ran over to the other side of the car and opened the door for my beautiful girlfriend. God, I would NEVER get tired of saying that! Hand in hand we walked inside before after I thanked my billet dad for the ride. Once inside we picked a table away from everyone else but close enough to the stage so that you could see the performers. "Do you want to go up and sing a little jam?" I asked her wriggling my eye brows in a joking manner. That just earned me a playful smack on the shoulder from her. "Hey what was that for?" I asked pretending to be hurt by her sudden behavior. "Because you used the word jam. Only people in bands use that silly, and you are a hockey player. So don't say that again if you know what's good for you, but nice try cheesy." We were both laughing at the nickname she had given me earlier that year. As the night went on we had such a fun time. More than once we went up to sing duets together, and if I don't say so myself we were pretty damn good up there. During dinner and dessert we talked much of our childhoods and funny stories were shared. Laughing took place most of the time and I really enjoyed seeing her this happy. By far this was one of the best dates we had ever been on. The night was coming to a close and soon enough we had to leave. Maya tried paying for some of the bill but I insisted upon it because I was her boyfriend and wanted to spoil her. Finally she gave in but said she would pay for something sometime and I knew she meant it, she did not give up on things easily, which is one of the many things I loved about her. 'I it possible to fall even more in love with someone?' I asked myself on the car ride home and held Maya's hand in my own until we absolutely had to let go. I opened the door for her and walked her to her front steps as well. "Always a gentlemen." She said making me blush. "I try." I said cracking a small smile. To finish this perfect night off I swooped in and gave her a long passionate good-night kiss that she gladly responded to by wrapping her hands around my neck and tilting her head to deepen the kiss. About two minutes later we broke apart for air and said our good-byes, no matter how much we didn't want to. All I knew was that I was going to remember this night for a very long time. It was one of the best nights of my life… cheesy right?
Maya's P.O.V.
This night was just getting better and better. Cam and I shared some laughs and great stories about past memories. It had taken my mind off of things for a while and that was exactly what I needed right now. I truly had the best boyfriend ever, who even for me sang at open mic night, not once but 5 times with me. We truly did make a good pair everyone thought so too. My confidence was boosted and I felt so appreciated and loved by my boyfriend, it was all so perfect. This by far may have been my favorite date of all and I feel like we had grown even closer together. But every once in a while a little voice in the back of my mind kept on reminding me that I was lying to Cam about nothing being wrong and I really wanted to tell him but just didn't have the guts to do it. And by the end of the night I was feeling terrible but wouldn't let that ruin my mood. I could deal with that later and I vowed to tell Cam everything once I was ready to share. Right now was just not the right time. As we left the restaurant I was feeling sad that our night was ending so soon. The ride home was comforting and Cam wouldn't let go of my hand until we got to the door. The kiss he gave me was unforgettable and I just wanted to stay in that moment forever with him. 'Does that sound corny?' I asked myself. Who cares, I'm in love with Campbell Saunders. 'Wait what? Did you just say you love Cam?!' I sidetracked in my thoughts and froze for a moment. Gladly he wasn't there to see me in my moment of distress, that would have been embarrassing. Thinking about it I finally was happy to admit that I was totally head over heels in love with my boyfriend. Upon making this discovery all I could think about was if he felt the same way and if he would tell me soon. 'Maybe he will? I can't wait until he does because I don't know how long I can keep this to myself without blurting it to him accidentally.' Then my worries started showing as I looked back at myself in the mirror. I was sitting in my room getting ready for bed and taking off my make-up. Dwelling on my thoughts even further I smiled back at the highlight of my night. It was when Cam pulled me up to sing the second song and told me how much fun he was having and how much he really liked me. Once in my pajamas I fell back into my pillows and thought back to all the times we had spent together. Sure at first it was a bumpy road but we overcame that a long time ago. My last thought was of our first kiss before falling into a deep sleep. Even my dreams were filled with Campbell, not that I had a problem with that.
