“He’ll be fine. And if the stories dad’s told me about him are true, he can fight for himself,” Meg said easily. “My dad’s got some pressure on him, too. After the whole, quote, ‘Civil War.’ But we have to move on.”
"Yeah," Cameron nodded, glancing at her and back ahead towards the rest of the group. "You're right."
“I usually am,” Meg joked. “Except in English. I can never remember the difference between a pronoun and a preposition.”
"Prepositions. . . god, don't even get me started on those." Cameron laughed, his blue eyes lighting up as he smiled. "My worst class is Spanish though."
“I tried Spanish once. Had to change my elective because the big fat F I was earning was dragging down my GPA,” Meg laughed.
"I used to take French. . . let's just say, it didn't go well." Cameron smiled, looking over at Meg. "The only thing I retained was tu es belle which helps me flirt with girls. And that doesn't go very well either." He finished, laughing.
“I’m horrible at flirting,” Meg smiled. “The one time I tried, it took a month for me to live down the humiliation. Lucky for me, the kid moved schools at the end of the year, so at least I didn’t have to have a daily reminder walking around.” Meg’s eyes sparked at the memory. “Dad’s never let me forget it,” she added, laughing.
