Chapter 5: Cinderella is better than Nerdhead.

I hated Saturdays.

"McKanzie, we need to go." Jennifer called. She had slept over last night and without my opinion, had planned for us to go to the mall. I had worn my white t-shirt, with SHUT UP AND DANCE WITH ME in it, a black jacket and blue skinny jeans. Just because I was a nerd, didn't mean I had to wear baggy clothes. My vans were waiting downstairs to complete the outfit. About the make-up though, I only put a bit eye-liner and pink lipstick. "McKanzie!"

"Jesus Christ Jennifer! I'm coming." I yelled back and got out of my bathroom. She was leaning on my door, wearing a yellow dress that reached her knees. She had worn a cardigan and her black heels. Her blonde hair were in a perfect bun. She was beautiful in simple words. "Trying to impress someone?" I teased.

"No." she denied but the glow in her face told me the opposite. I raised my eyebrow at her. She sighed. "Blake is coming with us." she whispered, but I heard it.

"And I'll be the third wheel." I stated, rolling my eyes.

"Arden is coming too." she said cheerfully as we went downstairs. "He is bringing Alexis with him." she said more to herself than me.

"Fifth wheeler." I groaned.

"Take Cameron with you." Clara suggested out of nowhere. Where did she come from?

"Who'll take me?" Cameron asked appearing in the living room. What was wrong with these people?

"McKanzie to the mall." my sister answered. I shot her a glare and she only smiled innocently at me. Innocent my butt!

"Okay." Cameron surprisingly agreed and walked toward the door. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me right then and there. Couldn't I have a single day all to my self? Jennifer caught my hand and pulled me towards the door. "Keys Nerdhead." Cameron muttered and extended his hand for me to give him my car keys. Pouting, I put the keys in hus hand and stomped my feet as I walked. Jennifer called her boyfriend, yeah they were in a relationship, and siad that he, Arden and Alexis, Arden's girl (Jen's quote) would be waiting for us at the mall.

We arrived at the mall ten minutes later. The ride was mostly silent because the tension was unbearable. I got out of the car and walked towards the two boys and at a barely clothed girl. Beach! Arden was wearing a long sleeved blue t-shirt and black trousers. I hugged him and saw Cameron clench his fists at the corner of my eye. What was wrong with him? I didn't know why, but I liked his reaction.

Freeing out of Arden, I shook hands with the other handsome blonde, which was Blake. I had seen him in a couple of my classes and he was a very good guy. About the girl though, I ignored her. She glared at me when I hugged Arden but I shrugged it off. She was not worth it.

Jennifer and Blake started to kiss. "PDA people." I groaned. Cameron though continued the glaring match with Arden and his fists were clenched. They were about to start a fight and I couldn't let that happen. I hated violence. "I think we should part in couples and meet here two hours later to eat." I suggested. Jennifer and Blake agreed, Alexis tugged on Arden's arm, and I grabbed Cameron's hand, dragging him away. He followed me and unclenched his fists. Thank God. "You have some explaining to do." I mumbled and continued to walk towards Bonavita. I needed new t-shirts.

"What explaining?" Cameron asked, pretending to be oblivious.

"I'm not stupid Cameron." I snapped. I searched through the t-shirts and chose three of them. One was black, with the 'OPA GANGAM STYLE' quote on it, written in cute letters. The second was a see-through plain white and the third was red, with long sleeves and santa on it. I took it as a present for my sister. She liked those kind of presents.

Cameron was looking through jeans and I guess I found his Christmas present. He liked jeans. You must think I was stupid to buy Christmas present in September but it was better than when they would be more expensive. What? I like to save money. He picked one pair of black ones and a t-shirt. We paid for our things and got out of the store.

"Cameron!" I called.

He turned to me and grabbed my hands. "Nerdhead, it's better not to know anything. You know the saying, curiousity killed the cat." he said firmly and released my hands as he walked away. What did he mean by that?

I followed him as he entered in American Eagle. Why did he enter there? "Uhm...Cameron!" I stuttered.

"What nerd? You need a dress." he chuckled like he didn't just say what he had said earlier. He wasn't going to tell me anything and I really needed, no wanted a dress.

"Cameron, I have a name you know?" I said as we looked the different dresses that this store had. He had never called me on my name since we have met three weeks ago. It had been that long.

"Okay, Cindy." he smirked. "Or Cinderella." What? When? How did he know that my first name was Cindy? I despised that name. I didn't know what my parents were thinking when they put me that name. Fortunately, my middle name was McKanzie and not another stupid name like Cindy, no offence.

"Don't you never call me by that name." I warned.

"Cinderella is better than Nerdhead." he grinned and took a second dress on his hands. I had already three.

"I hate you." I muttered and headed to the dressing room, taking the two dresses from him and entering there. The first dress was floral, with a yellow colour and reached my knees. I got out from my dressing room and saw myself in the mirror. It fit my body perfectly. And this was one of Cameron's dresses. Good taste Cam! I glanced at Cameron who was seeing me with...lustful eyes? What the underworld? I blushed. For the all superheroes in this world, I BLUSHED! I took that as an agreement and entered in the dressing room again. Could anyone tell me what the freaking apples just happened?

***

After the awkward moment between me and Cameron, we bought three dresses, including that dress. We were waiting for the other two couples. I hoped Arden and Cameron didn't start a fight. Jennifer and Blake came but the other couple was no where in sight. "Where's Arden?" I whispered in Jennifer's ear, so Cameron wouldn't hear me.

"He's not coming with us." Jen whispered and I nodded, sighing in relief. We walked towards the food court, me and Jennifer together as Cameron and Blake engaged on their own converstaion, holding our bags too. At least they wre gentlemen. We sat in one of the tables as Blake and me went to order our food, leaving Jennifer and Cameron there. "So, you're the famous Nerdhead!" Blake chuckled as I stared at him, confused.

"What do you mean?"

"Cam doesn't stop talking about you." he said as we arrived at the counter. "Two pizzas and french fries. Also four chocolate milkshakes." he said to the girl behind the counter.

"What?" I continued to be more and more confused. In fact, dumbfounded would be the right word.

"He is my best bud McKanzie." Blake explained. Oh. Well, it wasn't like I knew any of Cameron's friends. We got the the food and headed to the table. "He likes you McKanzie." he whispered on my ear. Cameron liked me? Yeah, right. I wasn't born yesterday. We sat opposite each other and shared the food.

"What took you so long?" Jen asked. I guess they didn't enjoy being together for five minutes.

"Nothing babe. Just knowing each other." Her boyfriend answered. I wasn't able to talk. I was still shocked from what Blake told me about Cameron liking me. I didn't believe it, but the way that Cameron looked at me when I had that dress on...I didn't want to talk about it. And I might like him too though. As much I didn't want to admit it, I had a tiny crush on him. It wasn't my fault, the guy was hot. But what would he like at me though? I wasn't beautiful like Jennifer or like Alexis. Alexis looked like Cameron's type, not me.

"Cinderella, it's rude to stare at people." Cameron snapped me out of my deep thoughts. I was staring at him. Stupid Blake!

"Whatever." I muttered and grabbed a pice of pizza and started to eat it. Delicious!

"Who wants to see F&F 7?" Blake asked suddenly.

"No." I said shortly. I was not in a mood to see a movie. I just wanted to go home and sleep until the next day. "You can go if you want, I'm just going home." I added as I finished my milkshake. I left ten bucks on the table and stood up. "Have fun guys!" I said and grabbed my bags. I started to walk away from them when I felt someone tugging at my right arm.

"I'm coming with you. I don't want to be a third wheeler." Cameron said. I wanted to say no but the look in Cameron's eyes made me change my mind.

"Fine." I agreed as his face lit up. I smiled at him and headed to the parking lot, where my car was parked. "I'm driving this time." I warned. He gave me my keys and I happily got on driver's seat. I missed driving my baby. I left my bags in the backseat and Cameron did the same. Not loosing time, I started the ignition and drove back home.

***

"Home sweet home." I yelled as I entered inside and crashed myself on the couch. Cameron laughed behind me and sat on the armchair.

"Have I told you that you're weird?" he asked and turned on the TV.

"Gee thanks." I laughed and closed my eyes. It was two in the afternoon and it was the perfect time to take a nap. But my phone wouldn't let me.

Clara: we're not coming home today. Have fun and use protection.

What the freaking Superman?

Me: you have a death wish, I swear.

I locked my phone and went upstairs. My phone buzzed again.

I logged out and threw my phone away. I couldn't sleep so I took my journal and started to write.

Clara and Oliver didn't come home for real. I was eating the steak that I had cooked and it waa delicious. "This is marvelleous!" Cameron moaned eating the steak. "How can you cook so well?" he asked.

"Because of my Dad." I said without thinking.

"Oh. You don't talk too much about your parents." he said.

"I don't want to." I scowled and continued to eat. The rest of the dinner continued in silence. Neither of us spoke.

As I finished my steak, I put my dishes in the sink and went to the living room. I turned on the TV and laid on the couch. Cameron followed me soon as I left it to a movie playing. I don't know what movie it was, it spoke about a boy who was in the war and a photo of a girl saved his life. Zac Efron was in it so that's why I saw it. Cameron was engaged with his phone. "You can at least pretend like you're watching the movie." I broke the silence.

He looked at me confused before talking. "Why should I?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Never mind." I didn't know why I said that. I just wanted to break the slience, I guess.

"You're weird, Cinderella." he chuckled and I growled. Why can't he call me by my name or at least Nerdhead?

"Goodnight Cameron." I grumbled and got up from the couch. It was almost ten and I needed sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
