Things Aren't Always What They Seem

"What do you mean?" Campbell looks deep into Maya's eyes. "Maya you know what I mean" Maya sighs.

"Campbell when you kissed me. That was the best kiss I had ever had. I have had a crush on you ever since your first game but put my feelings to the side cause I didn't think I would ever have a chance. And when we started talking all those butterflies and feelings came back. I dream about you constantly. All I ever wanted was for you to kiss me." Campbell holds her hands.

Then what's wrong?". Maya takes her hands away.

"Think about it Campbell. Can a Hockey Superstar and a Nerdy Band Geek really be together?" Campbell strokes her cheek. "I think so." Maya takes his hand away. "No Campbell" Campbell takes her hands

"Stop pushing me away! You know this can work but you are scared." Maya looks at Campbell confused. "Why would I be scared Campbell" "Tori told me. That your last boyfriend broke your heart by getting another girl pregnant. But Maya you gotta believe me when I say you are the only one for me. I want you. I wanna pick you up in the morning and take you to school, I wanna walk into school holding your hand, and kiss you when you least expect it and get you stuff just because I want too. You have no idea what you do to me. When I'm laying in bed I think of you sleeping on my chest. I am falling for you hard. And you wouldn't be here if you weren't falling for me Maya."

"I am here to have closure"

"No your not." Maya starts to turn around. Campbell turns her around and pushes her up against the wall and kisses her. He pulls away. "

You can't just leave me here. I am begging you to give me a chance. A chance to love you uncontrollably"

Maya starts to cry. "Why do you do this?" Campbell hold her face in his hands

"Because I want you. I need you Maya! And I...I...I love you Maya" All Maya can do is shake her head 'Yes'

"Yes?" She nods again. Campbell picks her up and kisses her. "I love you too." Maya starts to walk out but holds her hand out to Campbell. He smiles, kisses it and intertwines their fingers together. The walk out together.

They walk into French. Maya sits and so does Campbell. He pulls her to his side and the hold hands.

Ms. Amèlie walks in. "Campbell, Maya please keep the romance out of my class room" Maya moves over a little bit. Ok class. Here is your Pop Quiz." Maya looks over to Cam "Good Luck baby" Cam chuckles "I'm gonna need it we didn't get much studying done" Maya blushes. "We didn't did we?" They turn back to there papers and take the quiz.

-25 minutes later-

Cam and Maya turn in there test. The intercom comes on with Mr Simpson over it.

"Will all Degrassians please report to the audoturium. Thank you." "Oh god!" Cam takes her hands. "Hey you will do great."

Cam kisses her cheek. They walk to the gym. "The guys are over there wanna go see em?" Maya sees her band. "I should go warm-up." Cam smiles. "Ok..You will do great May." Cam kisses Maya and runs over to the hockey team. Maya walks over to the band. Mo walks over to her. "Hey theres our lead singer. Nervous?" Maya nods. "Yes. Very" Maya takes her guitar and practices the chords to the song. Simpson walks through the curtians. "You guys are on." Maya takes a deep breath and positions her self at the microphone. The curtains open.

I can make the rain stop if I wanna,
Just by my attitude
I can take my laptop record a snapshot
And change your point ofview

I just entered this brand new world
And I'm so openhearted
I know I've got a long way to go but I
I'm just getting started

She looks over to Campbell smiling at her.

I'm over my head, and I know it, I know it
I'm doing my best not to show it, to show it
Whatever it takes to be what I was meant to be, I'm going to try
Cause I'm living the dream and I know it, I know it
I'm trying my best not to blow it, to blow it
And I know everything will be fine
With me, myself and time.

She winks at Cam and runs to the other side of the stage.

I go where life takes me, but some days it makes me want to change my direction
Sometimes its gets lonely, but I know that it's only a matter of my perception
I just entered this brand new world
And I'm so openhearted
I know I've got a long way to go but I'm
I'm just getting started

She jumps off stage and runs through the crowd singing.

She runs through the crowd and over to Cam and sings to him. Dallas elbows him. Smiles.

And baby there is nothing like this moment
To just be real and let the truth be spoken
Whatevers broke I can make it unbroken
Turn the lead in my hand into something golden
Just try more love, if I just try more love then I'll find
Myself and time.

She runs back on stage and the students clap to the beat of her music as she sings.

I'm over my head, and I know it, I know it
I'm doing my best not to show it, to show it
Whatever it takes to be what I was meant to be, I'm going to try (x2)

Cause I'm living the dream and I know it, I know it
I'm trying my best not to blow it, to blow it
And I know everything will be fine
With me, myself and time.

I'll find myself in time,
I know I'll find myself in time

Everyone claps. "Thank you Degrassi". The band walks off stage as Maya and the band put their instruments away Maya hears her name. She turns away and sees Campbell jogging towards her. She puts down her stuff and meets him halfway and jumps into Campbell's arms. He slowly sets her down still hugging her. "You were great May. Absolutley perfect." Maya blushes. "It mean't alot having you there to sing too" Campbell smirks. "Well I was honored." Maya smiles. Campbell takes Maya's hand in his. "So are you feeling like luch before we go back to classes?" Maya nods. "Right this-" "MAYA!" Tristan and Tori runs up to Maya. "You were fantabulous" Tristian is jumping up an down in excitement. "You really were May...Hey have you seen Zig?"

Maya looks around. "Ummm...I think he took the instruments with the band to Adam's car" Zig walks in. He sees Tori. "There's my good luck charm" Tori smiles and runs to Zig and hugs him. "You were great..." She turns to all of the band members. "You all were" "Well as much as I like these compliaments me and Cam have lunch plans sooo-" Tristan interupts Maya. "Where ya goin?" "The Dot." Tori jumps up and down. "Perfect lets all go!" Maya looks up a Cam. "Actually guys me and Cam want to-" Tristian grabs Maya's hand. "Maya we have 45 minutes for lunch stop talking and lets get going!" Maya turns to Campbell and mouthes the words 'I'm so sorry'. Campbell follows behind.

-The Dot-

Maya and Campbell order their food after everyone else. "I am so sorry Cam. I didn't know they would tag along" Cam smiles "It's cool Maya. They're your friends" Maya shakes her head. "No its not ok! I wanted it to be me and you. Alone." Cam turns to the waitress. "Can we get our order to go?" The waitress nods. "What are you doin?" Cam turns to Maya. "You wanted us to be alone right?" Maya shakes her head yes. "Ok then we are takin it to go" Cam pays and gets there order and starts to walk out. "Cam, Maya were you going?" Tori looks at them confused. "We are gonna go to the park...alone. We will meet ya'll back at school."

With that they walked out the resturanaut and to the park.

They sit at a picnic table and eat and talk. "This was a great idea." Cam smiles. "We'll as much as I tried to hide it...I was bummed when I heard they were coming along. So I'm taking any alone time I can get with you." Maya blushes. Cam and Maya look down at their food and eat. "Cam?" Cam looks up. "Huh?" Maya hesitates.

"Why me?...I mean why do you chose the band geek when you can have a sexy cheerleader? Or a purky theatre girl?" Cam slides his food to the side. "Because Maya I don't want a cheerleader or a theatre girl. I've dated those. They date cause it means nothing..But you when your at my games. You are my sexy cheerleader. When you sing your my purky singer. I don't need anyone but you! I like you becauuse you care how a guy treaats you. And you don't care were I come from or what I do. You like me for the real Cam." Maya smiles. "I do Campbell your the guy that I've been waiting to share my first kiss with." Cam and Maya lean over and kiss. Campbell looks over to the swings. "Wanna swing?" Maya smiles. "I sure do" They walk over to the swing "Push me?" Campbell smiles. And pushes her. "I realized my love for music on a swing" Campbell's eyes get big. "Oh really?"

Maya shakes her head yes. "Yep. The swing creeks, The birds cirping and the sound the poles made when I hit them with my foot. Gave me a beat I really liked and I realized music...I was my passion. But when Katie started getting adiccted to drugs it was put aside cause Katie was my prority and her getting better. But when you came along Cam..." She stops the swing. Campbell stands in front of her holding the chains to the swing. "It came back to me. I feel in love twice. With you..and my music." Campbell raises his eyebrow. "Should I be jealous?" Maya shrugs. "I don't know me and music are getting to know eachother very well" Cam leads in, "Oh guess I gotta step it up huh?" Maya nods. Cam lays a sweet and soft yet passionate and feirce kiss on Maya's lips. "I love you Maya" Maya smiles. "I love you too Cam." Maya's phone rings. She gets a text from Tori.

From Tori

Hey were are you? Class starts in 3 minutes!

"Holy crap Cam its 1:27" Campbell grabs their stuff and Maya's hand. "We gotta run!" They run all the way to class.

-Degrassi-

Cam and Maya walk into Degrass out of breath. Cam walks Maya to her class. "I'll see you after class?"

Maya nods and kisses Cam goodbye. She walks into class with 23 seconds to spare. Tori turns to Maya. "Have fun?" Maya turns to Tori still out of breath. "Well...besides running 7 blocks to Degrassi...Yeah. It was a lot of fun" Tori and Maya turn their attention to the teacher.
