"Isn't Jamaica in Africa?"

I facepalmed. This jock was useless.

"No, Cameron. It's not."

"But it sounds like an African name!"

"True, but it's not even close to Africa."

"Then where is it?" He questioned.

"It's an island!"

"Next to Africa?"

"NO!!!"

Then there was an awkward silence.

"Well you learn something new everyday," he said.

Another awkward silence.

"So back to math--"

"Wait Pam," Cameron interrupted.

"What?"

"I'm sorry you get bullied so much. The lessons we had to hear today from every class after lunch, made me realize how much you go through. I want to make it up to you."

"Cam, it's ok. I'm used to it."

"But I feel bad."

"Don't," I said putting a finger up.

He was sitting on my bed while I sat on my desk chair facing him. I turned my chair toward my desk and started to open up the math textbook.

Then I felt my chair turn, and I got dizzy for a second. I closed my eyes. Then the chair came to an abrupt stop.

I opened my eyes and saw Cameron kneeling before me.

"Pam.... I wanted to give you something."

"Uhhh... Ok."

He removed his hands from behind his back which revealed a small black box.

"Cam what are you doing?"

He opened the box and inside was a....

Note.

I took the folded piece of paper out of the box and unfolded it.

Pam!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I really like you
Please like me too.

I hope you like my poem! It look me 30 minutes to come up with!

Pam. I want to make it up to you,
I don't want you to cry,
I want to end your pain,
Please accept this gift of mine.

This one took me longer to come up with. :)

Ok here's the real big part.

Will you go out with me?

-Cameron. <3

"Cameron you don't have to do this if you don't want--"

"I want."

"Cam--"

But I was interrupted by Cameron, who face was so close to mine. Our noses were touching, and I could feel his breath.

"Uh why are you so close?" I asked.

"Let me kiss you this time. No more finger on my lips. I want your lips on my lips."

"But I'm your tutor!"

He moved his face so that his lips hit my lips, making butterflies form in my stomach. We really shouldn't be doing this...

His hands were moving up and and down my back.

And I still wasn't kissing back.

He pulled away.

"Pam, please....." He whispered.

"I--can't..."

"Why?"

That one word really stumped me. I stared into his eyes for a second.

I grinned formed on my face. Why couldn't I just let myself loose?

"Touché."

Then he smiled, and I was smiling, and we were both blushing, staring at her each other like an old couple...

Then, to break the awkwardness, I gave in to his loving embrace and kissed him back.

"So will you go out with me?" He asked while we were catching our breaths.

"Yes," I said without hesitation.

Then I heard a knock on the door.

I sighed.

I got up from the chair as he hopped back on the bed, pretending to be studying his work.

I opened the door.

"I heard some odd noises. Everything alright?" Mom asked.

"More than alright," I said dreamily.

Mom raised an eyebrow.

Oops... did I say that out loud?

"Well, I let you get back to studying," she said, saying the word studying with quotation marks.

I rolled my eyes, closing the door.

"Now where were we?" Cameron asked.

_______________________

The next day was Saturday, which meant stay in my room and stare at the wall day. Or any day without Cameron.

I just had one problem.

What do I say to my parents?

"Mom, Dad, I'm meeting Cameron at the library," I told them during breakfast.

"More studying?" Mom asked with the hand quotation marks again. I rolled my eyes.

"Yea. Bye!"

I went out the door before anybody could say anything more.

I hopped into my car and drove to Cameron's house.

When I arrived, I hopped out of the car and rang the doorbell.

I only had to wait a few seconds before a short old lady answered.

"Who are you and what do want?"

"Is Cameron here?"

"Cameron!!" The lady called.

Cameron came to the door. The lady left.

"Hey," he said closing the door and walking with me to the car.

"Where do you want to go?" I asked.

"I tell you directions to the place I'm thinking," he said with a suspicious smile.

"Ok..."
