~Madison

After cleaning myself up in the bathroom, I had hurry up before I was late for my Trigonometry test, Mr. Hoffman was the only teacher I knew that could give a test the day we come back from winter beak, which is why everyone hated him. But I believe I studied enough for this test, I can see myself getting an A-, or higher.

•

The test was a lot harder than I thought it would be, I don't remember Mr. Hoffman saying that any of that stuff would be on the test, in fact, I don't even remember learning any it. I think I should retake my test tomorrow, I can't afford to bring my grade down.

After that, I was finally relieved that school was over, this school puts way too much on our plate, and we just finished winter break, did you really think we'd remember anything we learned two weeks ago? Because I surely didn't. 

I saw Cameron waiting near his car and tried to walk as smooth as possible, not making it awkward at all, but boy did I fail; he probably thinks I walk like a complete weirdo. Sure, he chuckled a little, but at least he wasn't dying on the floor from laughter, that would've made it more awkward and humiliating.

"Hey Cameron, are you ready for the interview?"

"Madison, relax, you have plenty of time to work on that interview, I said I would take you to the mall first right?"

"Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot."

"It's cool, but just relax, sometimes you look a bit too worried and uptight, you're sixteen, for now, just worry about having fun."

What he said was true, but what I mainly focused on was that he said sometimes I looked too uptight; did that mean that he's actually paid attention to me before other than today in first period?

"So, you've seen me around school before? Other than today?"

"Yeah, lots of times, but I barely knew you, so I couldn't just walk up in your face, that'd be weird."

Yeah, weird.

"So are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, but you really don't have to do this." I said adjusting my seat belt.

"Nah, I want to. Buckle up, and enjoy the ride."

•

He had a pretty sweet ride, of course you'd think that I only said that because I take the bus to and from school, but his car was cool, it looked like it cost a fortune! Or maybe I just get too overexcited about everything. Yeah, that was it. Get a hold of yourself Madison, so he doesn't think you're a weirdo.

"Everything okay Madison?"

"Yeah, your car's really cool."

"Thanks, it was a gift for my fifteenth birthday."

Wow, he got a car at fifteen, what's next?

•

We pulled up to the mall about thirty minutes later, and I got kinda nervous, because what if someone from school saw us? Like Brooklynn? — Wait! Did I ever cancel with Brooklynn about the interview? She's gonna kill me tomorrow. I started turning pink, and my hands started shaking uncontrollably, Cameron just stared at me, he looked pretty freaked out.

"Uhm, are you okay? You seem a bit shaky."

"We have to go back home, now! I forgot to cancel with Brooklynn and she's probably still waiting for me and—"

"Would you relax, everyone knows that Brooklynn never goes anywhere on time, sometimes she doesn't even go; you'll be fine, and if she tries to do something to you, I got your back, kay?"

The day got weirder and weirder, not only was I shopping with Cameron, but he wanted to protect me as well? I can't get too used to this, Cameron could become my friend, but that's it— nothing more than friends. He may be really cool, but I don't know how he acts relationship-wise, he could be a player, or a cheater, or both. Either way, I couldn't fall for him, I refuse to.

"So what store should we go in first? I know how much you girls love Forever 21."

"Cameron, that's very sweet of you, but you don't have to take me in there, that store is really expensive, and I only paid like fourteen dollars for that shirt."

"Well, I'm treating you today as a way of saying sorry. So go ahead and pick out one or two shirts and get some pants to match." He said in a smooth, yet very flirty tone.

I picked out a few outfits that I really thought was my taste, but I couldn't find Cameron anywhere to show them to him. But when I did find him, he had a bunch of tops and shorts and skirts in his hand, who were they for?

"Hey Madison, I found a bunch of stuff that I thought would look great on you, you should try them on and see how it looks."

"Cameron, I thought we agreed on buying only two outfits?

"Come one, have some fun once in a while, I told you I would pay for everything."

"Well, if you say so, I'll be back in ten minutes."

"Okay, and by the way Madison,"

"Yeah?" I turned back around so suddenly, hoping, he'd say something heart-whelming.

"I'm sorry again for the incident at lunch, I feel horrible."

"Cam, it's okay. You managed to get food in my hair, but it's okay."

"Yeah, you're right."

•

The clothes he picked out were nice, but some of them weren't really my style. I decided to take only a few of them, maybe I can wear one of the outfits tomorrow.

After the cashier ranked up all the clothes, the total came to over three-hundred bucks! I had only brought twenty dollars because I didn't know exactly where we were going shopping. But, he took out his card and swiped. How much money did he have on that thing?

"Cam, thanks for everything, you really didn't have to do all this."

"But I wanted to. Now come on," He said putting his hand on my shoulder, "Let's go."

Walking out of the mall was a bit of an uncomfortable moment for me, every turn we made, people were staring at us, like we were famous. Were they looking at just Cameron, or me too? It did feel weird at first, but now I'm getting the hang of it. Though I won't have to anymore, because after this interview thing is over, he and I will be over, and by that I mean, this status both of us have together. Whether it's friends or acquaintances, he won't bother talking to me anymore.
