Showing Off

It was after school and Cameron was out on the field warming up getting ready to practice. Being the star pitcher of the baseball team, he was getting ready for the tournament that following weekend. While stretching from afar he could see one of his good friends Deja walking along the outside of the fence. He made sure his coach was occupied, and he was with another player before running over... "Hey Deja!" he said as he was approaching the fence

Deja looked over and smiled lightly, "Hi Cameron." She said.

"What are you doing here so late?"

"Just stayed back to write a little bit." Deja said.

"For school, or for enjoyment?"

"For my enjoyment." She smiled.

"Anything you care to share? Or is it like private?"

"You'll have to wait until it is a finished creation." She said with a grin.

"Can't wait" he smiled hopping onto the fence and sitting "So how have you been?"

Deja watched as he hopped the fence, smiling as they sat down. "Not much, trying to graduate. And you?"

"You're lucky you're a senior! And I've been doing nothing but this" he said pointing to the field..

She chuckled, "Well at least you're doing something you love, then time passes by quickly"

"I know, but I just need a break sometimes"

"Then why don't you? Stop for a year and try something else."

"That's not an option to my dad..."

"What does your dad have to do with anything?"

"He wants me to do this... Fast track to college. And a way to keep me busy, while he spends his life on a road"

"Oh...that's not fun." She said with a light frown.

"I love the sport but not every single day of my life" he shrugged "Actually you know what I am doing this summer?"

"No." She shook her head, "What are you doing this summer?"

"Six week baseball camp in Florida" he said

"Boooooo." She pouted, "Your dad's idea?"

"So instead of all the beach parties, hot girls, barbecues, and getting illegally drunk" he chuckled "...I will be playing baseball"

"I'll try to sneak you out of camp some days." She giggled.

"You're going to drive all the way to Florida just for me?" he chuckled
