chapter eleven!

season 2, episode 8 - love triangle! (pt. 1!)

THE HOUSE WAS FINALLY IN THE HANDS OF Conrad and Jeremiah again, thanks to Mia and Alex's mom.  The eldest Fisher would be traveling to take his exam but he decided to say goodbye to his friend first.  "Are you all set?" Mia asked him. "Yeah, I am. But again, thank you for getting your mom to help us with the house."

"It's no problem, Connie." Mia gave him a hug, smiling.  "Call me when you finish your test, okay? I want to know how it goes." Conrad playfully rolled his eyes, sighing. "I promise, Mia."  The two broke away from each other as Conrad got in his car. "Bye, Jere. Bye, Bells. Have a safe trip!"

"Bye, Mia!" Once the car drove off, Mia looked at the house with a smile. "It feels like she's still here with us." she stated. "It really does." Alex agreed, giving his sister a side hug.

"Guys! Guys!" Kiara exclaimed, walking up to them.  "Yes, Kia?" The girl showed them her phone, causing the two siblings to look at her in confusion.  "There's a party being thrown tonight and I was wondering if you guys want to come with me! Olivia and Alan are coming already."  Mia looked at the invitation and back at Kiara, thinking about it.  It wouldn't hurt to dress up, right? "You know what? I'm in.  Alex?"

"I'm in! Is Sam coming too?"  Kiara shook her head, "I didn't tell him about the party yet.  He should be when I tell him that you'll be there."

"You're just saying that."  Kiara placed a hand on his shoulder, looking at him.  "Alex, he genuinely likes being around you.  I'm not lying.  Let me just text him and we can go to the mall."

"Why?" Mia asked.  "To take you and Liv shopping! Plus, I want us to have some fun before I leave in a few days."

"Right! I forgot about that."

Alex eventually got dropped off back at the house, leaving Kiara and Mia alone.  The two girls got out of the car, walking towards the mall.  "Kia! Mia! Hi!" Olivia exclaimed, hugging them.  "Liv!" The three eventually stopped hugging and linked arms, heading inside.

MUSIC WAS BLARING FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS AS Mia stood in the corner, looking bored. She had on a black strapless top, short gray skirt, and platform boots.   "Knight?" a voice asked, snapping the girl out of her thoughts.   Furrowing her eyebrows, she turned around, only to see a certain curly haired boy.  "Cam? Hi! You got invited to this party too?"

"I'm here with Molly and Brady so... yeah! You look nice." Mia felt her cheeks warm as she looked at him, getting butterflies in her stomach. "Thanks, Cameron. You look nice too."

"Thanks, Knight."  There was silence between them, drowned by the music in the background.  "Do you want to dance?" Cam asked her.  "I'd like that."  The two of them moved despite being in a sea of other kids.  Mia couldn't help but glance at the curly haired boy in front of her.  Just tell him, she thought to herself.   The two continued to dance together as Cam furrowed his eyebrows. "Knight, are you okay?"

"What? Oh! I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Cam. I'm fine. I was just thinking about... getting some drinks! What do you want?"

"I'll have some water. I could go with you if you want."

"I think I'll be fine, Cam. I'll be right back." As Mia walked through the crowd of guests, she felt a bit nervous.  What if he didn't like her? What if he thinks that she's weird? As she rummaged through the fridge, she noticed that a familiar brunette was in the kitchen.  "Mack?"

"Mia? Hi."

"Hi.  What are you doing here?"

"One of my friends invited me.  What about you?"

"Same thing here. But it was nice talking to you, Mack."

"You're leaving? At least let me talk to you for a few minutes."

"Um... sure." As the two conversed, Cam looked around.  Is she okay?, he thought to himself. "Cam! There you are! Me and Brody have been looking all over for you." The curly haired boy jumped in fright, sighing when he saw a blonde girl in front of him. "Molly... hi... what is it?"

"Come hang out with us. It'll be fun."

"Fine."

If only he stayed.

MIA HAD A WATER IN HER HAND AS she looked for Cam. He was with Brody and Molly as usual but he seemed bored. "Who were you looking for back there?" Molly asked him.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't act dumb, Cam. I saw you looking for someone."

"I was just looking for Knight." Molly furrows her brows, "Mia? You were looking for Mia? Why?"

"Well, we recently became friends again.  I think she's-"

"I'll tell you what she is. She's nothing but an attention seeker and a loser." Molly stated, cutting him off.  A few of his friends laughed, nodding in agreement.  "But she's not like that."

"Listen, Cam.  Do you really think that she likes you? I mean, didn't she leave you in like third grade?"

"No-"

"Look, I'm just trying to look out for you.  Plus, you have us.  People adore us and what does she have? A personality? I don't think so."  Just when Cam was going to say something, he noticed Mia in the room.  "Here's your water, Cameron."  She gave him the drink, storming out the room.

"Just for the record, she's not like that.  Maybe if you actually got to know her, you'd see that.  She's kind, she's caring, she's really pretty... and I'm not going to let you berate her any longer.  Don't you ever talk to me again." Cam stated, brushing past Brody.  He quickly walked past guest after guest, trying to find Mia. 

"Kia!" The said brunette stopped kissing a curly haired girl, looking at him.  "What is it, Cam? You've got a lot of nerve to talk to me after what happened with Mia."

"Do you know where she is? She stormed out of the room."

"No.  She told me what happened but she didn't tell me that she was going anywhere."

"Look, I'll go and find her.  When I do, can we meet back at your house?"

"Yes.  Go and find her! I'll get the others."  Cam jogged out of the house and quickly unlocked his car, driving away.

He needed to find her.

Maya Speaks 💫:
