It’s been a week since I’ve been in Italy, Dad had come a few days after I reached Italy. We’ve both been attending the meetings. It gets quite boring but I guess it’s just for me to get used to it.
I just want to go home, I want to go back to school like I normally do. This may sound a bit crazy but I miss it… well, it’s a bit better than sitting in hour long meetings in a suit.
It was currently 9 am over here but it’s probably 3 am back home. I wanted to call Xena so badly but I knew she was sleeping. So instead I left a text instead.
Me: Hey baby, I know you’re probably asleep, but I miss you, you were right about me missing you too much. I’ll call you around 6 pm, is that cool?
After a few minutes of me staring at the ceiling I received a message, I looked down and I saw that it was from non other than my girl.
Xena: Heyy, and I know you miss me, I’m always righttt. And yeah sure, you can call me anytime π
Me: you’re up? Isn’t it like 3 am there?
Xena: yeah…. can’t sleep haha
Me: why? Miss me π
Xena: pffttt, yeah as iffff… I actually miss you too much.
Me: of course you do. You should probably sleep though, I’ll call you later today. Good night, sweet dreamsXena: Byeee, Goodnight. Oh wait… it’s 9am there. Whateverrr, byeeeeI smile at my phone and stare at the ceiling while laying on my bed, it’s currently Friday. Today I didn’t have any meeting and I had the chance to look around Italy, but honestly I really wanted to just sleep in.
And let me tell you something. That’s exactly what I did, I was knocked out for a good 7 hours.

One week later
C a m
I walked into school at around 7:15. I always like to come a bit early. I looked around and I saw Owen, Felix and Brie and Archer talking among themselves.
Oh yeah, Archer came back on Wednesday but he didn’t come to school until today, it’s currently Friday.
“Yeah, it’ll be fun. We can all be in pairs” Owen says while I approach them
pairs for?
“Hey guy. Archer, how was the trip?” I ask while standing next to Owen.
I’m not going to lie and say that my feelings for Owen have not increased. It’s something about him thats just makes me feel safer.
“Hey Cam, it was okay. Not going to lie, it was really boring but I guess my stay in Italy was nice” Archer shrugs, looking around.
He’s probably looking for Xena.
Knowing her, she’s always the last one to reach school from all of us. And she really isn’t that much of a morning person either.
just then the doors of the school opens and in comes non other that Xena. She lazily walks up to us until she sees Archer
“Oh yay, you’re back! how was your trip?” Xena asks hugging Archer. Archer smiles and hugs her back before giving her a kiss on the top of the head.
aw, they’re honestly the cutest soulmate I’ve ever seen. I’m so happy that Xena got to find her soulmate, what makes it better is that her soulmate was her own crush.
I look forward to something they have in the future for myself.
“Hey, It was good, but boring” Archer says looking down at Xena with so much affection.
I might as well pass out from all the cuteness.
… What? I’m their No. 1 fan, don’t judge my reactions.
“Oh, by the way, Cam and Xena. Before you guys came here we were all deciding on going laser tagging tomorrow since it’s a Saturday. It’ll be fun” Brie says looking at both of us.
“Oh, I’m down” Xena nods. I nod along with her.
“Wanna head to Chem?” Owen turns and asks me quietly. He looks me in the eye with his oh so beautiful green-ish hazel eyes.
“Yeah, let’s go” I nod my head and we both say bye to everyone and walk to class talking about random things.
βββ
It was currently 5:30 pm and I just got out of school. I was in the library finishing up with some work but I got carried away with time. I got into my car and drove home.
About a 20 minute drive later I reached home, dad and mom were both already home. They were watching something on the TV with Levi, my 8 year old brother, sitting on the floor in front of them.
“Hey guys” I greet them removing my shoes and placing them on the shoe rack near the door.
“Hey sweetie, why are you home so late? its almost 6” my dad turns to look at me.
“sorry, I got a bit carried away with my work. I was in the library” I say with a small smile.
“Camyyy. Hi” Levi say hugging onto my legs.
“Hey kiddo” I smile ruffle his curly hair. He pulls away and holds onto the top of his head so that I stop doing that to his hair. A cute little frown laying on his face.
“Sorry” I laugh and walk up the stairs. I took a long steamy shower before I got out and changed into some comfy pajamas.
I got into my bed and scrolled through my phone for a bit before I got tired and went to sleep.
βββ
It was now Saturday and I was heading to Xena’s house as usual. Do you know great it is to have a best fiend with such great sense of style?
Brie and I told her yesterday during lunch we were coming to her house today so we could raid her closet, once again.
Mwahaha, Oh how I love to steal her clothes.
After a few minutes I got out of my car and I already saw Brie’s car in Xena’s big driveway. I rang the door bell, and after a few minutes Brie opens the door.
I walk I and shut the door behind me before Brie and I both walk up the extremely long staircase.
I open the door to Xena’s room and I saw her on the phone with someone. I wave and she waves back before she goes back onto the call she was on.
I grab her attention again and I point to her closer to let her know I was borrowing some of her clothes again. She just rolls her eyes playfully before nodding her head.
I practically run to her walk in closet and stare at her clothes in adoration. I guess that’s a plus for having a rich friend. She literally has so many clothes, and I’m glad she does, I get to wear them.
Heehee.
I pick out the clothes that I was going to wear. I made sure to pick clothes of the darker side since it’ll be harder for me to be seen during laser tag.
“Okay bye” Xena smiles and hangs up the phone.
“I was talking to Archer and he said that all of them will be picking us up” Xena says laying herself down on her bed.
“Girl, get your ass up. They’ll be here at 4 and it’s already 3:30” Brie says pulling Xena up.
“Fine, let me pick something to wear” Xena says while lazily walking to her closet.
After Xena, Brie and I picked our outfits we changed into them and we waited for the boys to come and pick us up.
We talked until we heard the door bell ring, we all walk down the stairs and Xena opened the door. Archer, Owen and Felix were all standing outside.
Archer hugs Xena. I then realise that all of us are mostly wearing black. Just so that it’s harder for us to notice each other during laser tag.
I’m so excited!
“Ready?” Archer asks all of us.
“Yeah, You and Xena can go together. Cam you can come with me and Brie you can go with Felix” Owen says looking at me with a small smile.
I think my heart just melted. What’s he doing to me?
We all get into the car. We all back out of the driveway and we drive off, I then realised that Brie and my car was still in the driveway. Maybe we can ask Xena if we all can have a sleepover. We haven’t had one in a long time anyways.
“Hey Cam, who’s your partner for The Chemistry presentations?” Owen ask me while driving. He looks at me for a second before he focuses back again the road.
Hot.
“Oh, I don’t have one” I shrug
“Wanna be my partner?” Owen ask looking at me with a smile.
“Sure” I laugh and nod my head, my long curly hair bouncing with each nod.
βββ
We reached the the place and we both got out, The other were already there.
“You guys ready?” Brie says, rubbing her hands together.
“So should we just be in pairs on how we came here? So I’ll be with Xena, Felix you can be with Brie and Owen you can be with Cam. How does that sound?” Archer smirks looking at Owen with a knowing glint in his eyes.
“It’s cool with me” Owen chuckles and puts his hand over my shoulder. His chest vibrating with the laugh.
For some reason that made me blush so I look down to somewhat cover it up.
I look at Xena and Brie and they both were looking at me while wiggling their eyebrows.
I roll my eyes, a small smirk plying on my face. “Can we just go in now? I’m getting impatient” I say
“Yeah let’s go” they all say and we all go in.
Once we got in we pay and we start to pick our guns and we were given the sensor vests.
I’m so ready to win.
We got in, all of us near our partners. The lights dim and it was dark. I get Owen grab onto my hand and as soon as the bell rang we both ran and hid behind one of the wall looking things.
I look at Owen and then peak through the side and I saw Felix and Brie and looking around, they both were back to back both of them looking in different directions.
I lift up the laser gun and aim at Brie’s chest. Brie looks at me and tries pulling the trigger but the gun stopped working for a bit because I shot her.
Without noticing I saw Felix lift up his gun and aim at me, but before he could pull the trigger Owen pulls me back and drags me to a different hiding spot.
“You need to be a bit more careful” Owen laugh in a hushed tone.
“Woops” I shrug and I start laughing.
We both look at each other in the eyes and at that moment I felt like everything just stopped, everything was still. My eyes were just focused on his. We both leaned in and before I knew it he kissed me.
I kissed him back with just the same amount of passion, I pulled away for some air.
We just kissed, wow. We just kissed.
I look behind him and I see Xena aiming at Owen.
“Duck!” I quickly say and pull Owen down with me.
“Dammit!” Xena says. I aim gun at her chest and the sensor goes off.
“Dammit! Cam!” Xena says.
Archer pops up beside her and aims for my chest as well, my sensor going off as well.
Owen was busy laughing to even help.
Best partner ever…
Archer grabs onto Xena’s hand and pulls her away.
After some time of playing we were able to get Archer down once. But once the bell rang again signaling that the game was over.
Archer and Xena had won but Owen and I came second.
“Felix, you’re the lousiest partner in laser tag!” Brie whines.
“I’m sorry, jeez” Felix rolls his eyes a smile still on his face.
“I’m hungry” I say
“Let’s go to McDonald’s” Xena says.
We all hand back everything and headed for the car again. We all went to McDonald’s and we ordered food.
Once we got our food we sat in a booth. The girls and I one one end of the table and the boys on the other.
I took a bite of my chicken nuggets but I stop mid way. Owen stopping as well. We slowly look at each other with widened eyes.
I blink one… twice before running to the bathroom yanking onto Xena and Bries hand on the way.
Holy shit…
I can taste.
