cameron had loved you ever since he came to your school, but you never showed any interest.

he was hopelessly pining after you. he’d even asked you out a few times, with michael’s encouragement, of course, but you never accepted. why? he didn’t know.

when he heard there was going to be a partner project in science, his eyes immediately wandered to yours, but you stayed focused on the paper in front of you. that’s okay—he still wasn’t giving up.

he walked up to you with an awkward smile, thoughts of you rejecting him running through his head like rapid waters.

“hey, wanna partner up for the project? we could do it at my house or yours?” he asked, his eyes revealing his nervousness.
