the thing. I felt slightly sick by the time we all piled into Caitlin's
mom's car. I was silently praying I didn’t throw up all over the back seat. Caitlin turned the key to
start the car but nothing happened so she waited thirty seconds and tried again.
“What's wrong?” Aimee asked sounding rather annoyed and bored.
“I don't know? Mom's car has never not started before.” Caitlin said turning the key again.
“Should we look under the hood or something?” Caitlin asked us.
“How should I know? I’m not a mechanic.” Aimee said pulling her earbuds out of her pocket and
popping them into her ears.
Caitlin and I got out of the car lifted the hood and stood there unsure what to do next.
“Any ideas?” She asked. I shook my head wrapping my arms around myself to try and keep warm.
“Is there anyone you can call?”
“I'll try my dad, hopefully he hasn’t gone to bed already.”
She scrolled through the numbers on her cell.
“Can I be of assistance,” said a voice from behind us.
We both spun around to find rather cute looking boy watching us.
He was tall with floppy layered blonde hair and even in this light I could see it had been bleached
that way as his eyebrows were dark. He had on scruffy looking jeans, boots and a short grey sleeved
T-shirt.
“Do you know anything about cars?” I asked him.
“A little, here move out the way, let me have a look.” he said.
I glanced over at Caitlin hearing her thoughts she's was more worried he was going to break
something else. I moved to the side to let him past pulling Caitlin with me.
“It won't hurt for him just to look it's not like he can make it worse.” I said trying to reassure her.
He leaned over the car, I noticed a tattoo on the inside of his right forearm it was a black sun with
black flames and I caught a light scent coming from him. It smelled like roses I remembered the
smell from when I was little we had a small rose bush at the bottom of our garden and the smell was
exactly the same. He turned to Caitlin.
“Try it now,” he said.
I found myself smiling for no apparent reason at the sound of his voice. I quickly stopped when I
noticed Caitlin looking at me.
I nodded my head to her approving what he had just said. She scurried round to the drivers side. I
turned back to find the guy looking at me with a smirk on his face. The first word that popped into
my head was 'hot' he definitely looked hot. I was surprised Aimee hadn’t got out of the car and
jumped on him.
“I'm Cam by the way,”
I realised I was over staring at him, more like drooling. But I couldn't bring myself to look away
from his eyes they were so dark, they looked almost black. I'd never seen anyone with black eyes
before, maybe because it was dark outside it was making made them seem blacker then they
actually were, I wasn't sure though. And his voice I was sort of memorised, it sounded amazing to
me and some what familiar. I stood up straighter trying to compose myself.
“I'm Ruby,”
I couldn't stop staring and he didn't stop grinning at me, but the engine roared to life breaking the
connection between us.
I stepped away from the car and he shut the hood. Caitlin lowered her window.
“Wow.....you are a life saver thanks so much,” She called to him, he nodded in her direction then
promptly turned on his heel and started walking away. I stared at the back of him even the way he
walked was hot, seriously what was I thinking this wasn't like me.
“Thank you,” I called out.
He spun around and carried on walking backwards grinning.
“Night Ruby. It's nice to finally meet you again.”
I stood there for a moment wondering if I heard him correctly. When the car horn startled me.
“Ready?” Caitlin asked. I nodded putting on my belt.
“Wait...who was that?” Aimee asked. All of us staring out the window watching the back of Cam
disappear around the corner.
“Well it's too late now Aimee. You should have got out of the car anyway I think Ruby called dibs
