Just Ducky

Lunch time in the cafeteria? Sick timing! Callie was one of those people, in line to get lunch with a friend when Cam jumped up. She turned her head to watch him actually get on a nearby table. She listened to what she was saying, and a hugely elated smile crossed her face.

"Cammie!" She called out first, cupping her mouth with her hands, "You guys are cute!"

Eh, lunch could wait a bit; she was way too happy that her roommate had actually found someone. She ditched the line and went over to join the celebration!

Callie watched Ravyn go straight in for the hug. She didn't know the other guy at all. She didn't know anything about him, or what was going on between the two but she didn't care. She was just happy that something had finally worked out for Cam, because she knew he was looking for someone to be with who would take him seriously.

"Oh, totally!" She called out, instantly jumping into the hug to add a little more weight to it. She was light too though, so she didn't know how well it was going to go. But it was a hug full of LOVE, DAMMIT.

"Shut up, wanker!" Lucy called out without looking at him.

She was just minding her own business sitting at a table when some tard got on a table and started screaming about some shit to do with his boyfriend. Hey, not everyone wanted to hear about his news.

A pause, and she looked over to the guy who said something to her about taking his virginity. She rolled her eyes and resisted the urge to call him a douchey flaming queero; "Giant who cares."

Carter's mouth pulled into a hard line at the announcement. The relationship bug had just claimed another victim, and that was a shame.

"Fuck." He said in tandem with her. They must have been in sync again; that seemed to happen a lot when he spent time with her. With a sigh, Carter retrieved a small book from his back pocket and drew a quick mark next to the boy's name. What was in the book? Ahh, that was for him to know and you to never see unless you wanted to be embarrassed by a performance critiquing.

He stopped though, turning his eyes over to her. "Hrm. Do you think it's serious?" Carted looked to the boyfriend in question, "We could always use a fourth?"

"What the shit?" Lucy said to herself as she looked up. Some girl with pink hair was storming (literally?) over to him. In the time she had she retrieved her phone and opened the camera app.

Click! Record.

Her efforts were not wasted. She caught the slap on video and snickered to herself in the process. She'd keep it for later when she needed a good laugh at someone else's misfortune. Or maybe upload it to Youtube and spam link it around the school.

Either worked.

Declyn stepped back a bit as the horde of people came sprinting towards them. The first was a green-eyed girl, very striking and nice enough it seemed. The next to tackle Cameron in a hug was a blond girl, equally as pretty and quite enthusiastic. Both girls seemed happy for Cam and it brought a shy smile to Dec’s face. Crowds didn’t bother him much, but the attention he was getting was a little scary. Cam’s comment made Dec laugh quietly and rub at his arms nervously.

The next one to come up to the small group was a boy, one that clearly knew Cameron well enough to use the pet name, and for Cam to have a pet name for him. After the two stopped hugging, Declyn just glanced around before being taken into a hug as well. He patted the boy’s back a tad awkwardly and smiled, “Uhm, thank you.” This was a lot to take in, and honestly, Dec wasn’t sure how to react. He didn’t mind attention, but this was a bit overboard. A lot more than what he was used to at this school.

And the introductions began. Declyn was pretty sure he could already pass a little quiz on who was who, but they didn’t know him. Just as he was about to introduce himself, Cam beat him to it. And Dec’s face caught fire at the use of the nickname. He looked down at the ground and shook his head slightly. That boy would be the death of him, but at least it would be a pleasant death (wink wink). “Ducky? Really? Aye Cam, yer killin’ me.”

The next thing that caught his attention was a blur of pink fire. At least it looked like fire and the way she was moving, well she didn’t look happy. Declyn wasn’t oblivious to when a girl was pissed. And that girl was pissed. As if to prove what he already thought, she slapped Cam across the face and said something under her breath for a few of them to hear. Dec’s eyebrows pulled together as he looked between the two of them. He couldn’t help but wonder what Cam had gotten himself into.

The confrontation had Dec wanting to curl in on himself and disappear. The negativity that radiated off of her had him feeling guilty and he wrapped his arms around himself for protection. He didn’t know her, but who knew, she could come after him. Especially if she’d had something with Cam that Declyn didn’t know about. But Cam would have said something, at least…Dec thought he would.

When the blond boy reached for his hand, Declyn gave it a little squeeze and looked up at Cameron. The sadness was evident on his face, anyone who was looking could see it and for a moment, Declyn was a little flustered with that girl that had ruined the happy mood eminating from everyone else. “Someone must’ve pissed in her wheaties this mornin’. I’m sure she’ll be alright after she cools down a bit,” Dec said softly to Cam as his thumb slid across the other boy’s knuckles. “So Callie and Ravyn, aye? I’m positive I saw you two at that insane Halloween Dance, right?” He asked trying to lighten the mood a bit.
