Jenna: Why exactly are you telling it me right now? I really expected you would have waited till the very last moment, tomorrow?
Cam: Well.. because if I don't tell it you now I probably wouldn't do it again.
Jenna: Okay then... Well.. surprise me!
Cam: Ready?
Jenna: Readt
Cam: No, I mean are you really sure you're ready to..
Jenna: YES CAMPBELL, just tell me already? Come on, what could possibly be so important to fake your own dead?
Cam: Well.. okay then, I've warned you.
It's been like.. 9 months ago or something when my dad lost his job after the business where he worked was closed as a result of the bad economy and things like that. After his dismissal me and my family were going trough a tough time since we already had barely enough money to buy food and cloths before his dismissal. Eventually after 2 months earning almost no money we were forced to leave our home and had to live at my grandma's. But that was until my dad and uncle had found a job at a meatballs factory outside of Toronto with an amazing salary 6 months ago. Me, my mom and my brothers and sister were so thrilled. We finally had enough money again to buy food, clothes, hockey gear, and we even had bought back our old house! Our life was perfect at the time. But after some time my mom had found out that the factory were my dad worked was owned by the Rattlers, a gang in Canada that wasn't only selling meat, but also drugs which they exported from countries all around South-America to Canada. That was the moment when the misery started.
Me, my brothers and my sister heard almost every night when my dad came home from working at the 'meatballs factory' our parents yelling at each other. We heard my mom always yelling that one day something terrible will happen if he continues and my mom was unfortunately right. One day my dad came home early all stressed with his hands covered by something what I believed was blood. He told us we had to rush to my grandma's house and spent the rest of the weekend with her. We were suspicious but did it anyway, I mean what was the worst that could happen right? I got answer on that question very quick when my uncle called us on a dark Saturday evening. He explained to us everything what happened. How my dad was a suspect from stealing drugs from the gang and how he was on the run for them. According to my uncle my dad had shoot some members of the gang until.. they shot him. He also heard them say before the gangs Don pulled the trigger: 'You killed my familia, now I will kill yours'. After my mom hanged up the phone with tears in her eyes she explained to us what happend and that our dad wouldn't came home anymore. Me and my family were devastating about how we lost our dad but we also were terrified. Even more when we saw the next morning how our uncle was found shot dead in his own car on the news. That was the moment we had to come up with a plan. After a while we decided to fake our deaths on a different way and make the gang believe it's real so they could leave us alone and we could live our normal life again. My mom figured out that to faking my death would be the most difficult since I was quit famous as an upcoming hockey star, which the gang knew. So we came with the idea that if we transfer my to Degrassi and I commit 'suicide', the gang thinks I'm dead. And after my family will fake a car crash with the whole family in the car I could go back to Canada and live with my family again without any problems.
But that was before I met Maya and the others. Degrassi also feels like family to me and Maya was my first girlfriend I ever had and my true love, so of course I couldn't leave her. So when the plan worked I spent 5 weeks living with my family hiding at a friend's place before convincing my mom to travel back to Degrassi to see Maya's face again. After a few hours my mom finally agreed with me, under conditions that I had to disguise myself and couldn't talk with anyone who knew Campbell Saunders. This was hard since a lot of people knew me at Degrassi as a hockey player including Maya. But I found a group of goths who never heard of me before, so I started hanging out with them. I also was kinda stalking Maya a little bit but I mean come on, wouldn't you do the same if you loved someone like I do? I really had sympathy with her seeing how she dealt with my dead. But thank god she transformed back into the same old Maya I loved. Everything went fine until she noticed I was following her the last 2 weeks and freaked out. She chased me a moment before I bumped into you while you were holding coffee with that girl who tutored me France, and pushed me into the girls restroom. So after you found out I was still alive I planned to leave town the next day, so today. Until I called my mom and heard that my brother Justin was shot and is laying in a hospital back in Toronto. And because my mom was scared I ended up the same way as him or even worst, I promised her I wouldn't come back at the time and stay at Degrassi for a little longer until things calm down.
Cam: So.. yeah.. that's the reason why I faked my death..
Jenna: Waw..
Cam: yeah..
Jenna: How dumb do you exactly think I am, really?
Cam: Wait, what? What do you mean..?
Jenna: You actually think I believe one thing of the the crap you just told me?
Cam: Crap I just sai.. It's the truth!
Jenna: Sure, and I'm Carmen from West Drive but shhht I'm undercover to. Pf, please, it's obvious bullshit you just said. This is not an action movie Campbell.
Cam: I swear, search my last name on Google or something? Saunders. I'm sure you can find some proof on the web?
Jenna grabbed her laptop on her lap to search his lastname
Jenna: Of course it is. What also is true is that you're a liar that has no.., Omg it's true..
Jenna reads the news messages she found on Google.
Jenna: '7 deaths by car accident, Toronto – Canada', 'gang-member found death in alley', '37 year old man's body found dead in own car',
Jenna: Wait.. so what you just said was all true..?
Cam: Of course it is.. who could lie about such a thing..
Jenna: Omg.. I'm such a.. I'm so sorry.. Really.
Campbell get tears in his eyes
Cam: It's not your fault.., and if you don't want to be seen with me anymore or something I'll get it..
Jenna comes down from the table and hugs Campbell
Jenna: Ahhw Come here you, everything will be alright.
Cam: I'm just so glad I finally managed it to tell it someone that I can trust.
Jenna: Come, come. I'm here for you. And I will help you every way I can, okay?
Cam: Thank you so much..
While Cam and Jenna are hugging each other, at the same time Maya walks towards the school to find her cellphone but instead spotted the Mystery she was looking for.
Maya: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?
The two stop hugging and are watching speechless to Maya until Campbell runs a way, again
Maya storms towards Jenna
Maya: I's this a joke?
Jenna: A joke..?
Maya: Yeah, is this like a senior joke to bully me or something? Because if that's the case you can tell him, and everyone else that i'm really not in the mood for something childish like...
Jenna: Woahw, what are you talking about, It's not a joke?
Maya: Then who the hell was that guy you hugged with?
Jenna: My.. long.. lost.. nephew?
Maya: Oh really, what's his name?
Jenna: Uuuhm.. Ty. Middleton.. Ty Middleton.
Maya: Ty Middleton, really?
Jenna: Yeah, why exactly did you want to know that?
Maya: hmm.. no reason.
Jenna: Perfect. Well I love to chat with you about him but.. unfortunately.. I have a class to catch at the moment soo.. bye then!
Jenna grabbed her stuff and is about to leave
Maya: It's 16:37.
Jenna: Soo..?
Maya: It's way to late to start a class at this time of the day?
Jenna: Well.. that's because I'm.. already late, soo.. bye?
Jenna leaves Maya behind to catch her 'class'.
Maya glares at Jenna until she decided to head back home.
