there’s an intermission of a pause. drawn out and long, it builds TENSION in the air. there are few that ever have see cameron wearing her heart on her sleeve. ( it’s a courtesy that isn’t even extended to her biological family members. ) for a long time, it was only reserved for her best friend. “ i am really sorry, ” she continues before running a hand through her hair. GUILT : a year and a half later and she still feels it. she left sabrina alone in greendale. all cam had wanted was to escape the clutches of the beast ; how could she ever leave others for it to feast on ? it’s ironic. it’s selfish. “ i should have at least tried to contact you after i left. ”
“ yeah he definitely wasn’t expecting that ! ” cameron retorts, an amused tone lingering. ( it matches the impressed grin lining her features. ) a video of the incident was already CIRCULATING through riverdale students. any sympathy for the guy was long lost ; she had firsthand heard the filth the jock had spewed about miranda. karma had rained down on him with a storm named rosa : beautiful yet dangerous. ( in truth, she’s surprised the reckoning didn’t occur sooner. ) “ let’s get out of here we can meet miranda at her place. ” plans were made via text once the two of them saw the video. “ maybe we can wrap up your hand there, ROCKY, ” she finally adds.

she motions for the other to come lay down with her in the freshly cut grass. it’s a necessity for riverdale’s white picket fence reputation. ( what bullshit ! ) as one of miranda’s notorious ragers got even wilder, the southsider retreated to her backyard. it’s serene ; it’s quiet. sometimes she forgets how much she likes the peace. “ i don’t see it either. i just think it’s really NICE do you want to stay out here with me for a bit ? ” there’s a slight slur to her words ; the can beside cameron isn’t her first by any means.
Sweet Pea was quite ready for the day to be over. The passing between second to and final period was too long, let alone the actual next class. He decided that he would certainly be better just ditching and going home. Or maybe just going riding. But first things first, if he’s going to ditch, he needs cigarettes to keep him company.
He stops a person, not really looking to who he was speaking to, and asks a quick, “Can I bum a smoke?”
cameron’s initial response is a nonchalant shrug. it’s a habit she picked up after leaving greendale behind ; perhaps a final act of rebellion really. too bad the price adds up. ( she should really use the money for other things. ) nevertheless she unzips her purse and briefly rummages through it. aside from students, there doesn’t seem to be anyone else around. ( though in truth, she wouldn’t care either way. ) so she pulls out a single cigarette from her pack and hands it to him. “ you’re in luck, i still have a few. ”
“ salem ! ” the blonde RUSHES after the cat as he’s dashed towards someone else, the sounds of her boots clicking against the cement of the side walk. the cat has seemed to settle himself on someone else’s shoes, and sabrina is trying her fastest to get to him ! as she does, the petite girl scoops the cat up - though he’s struggling to escape her grasp, and she holds him to her chest with a tight tug. “ i’m so sorry about him; he’s never listening to me and always wants attention. he usually doesn’t run off like this, though. silly kitty. i’m sorry about him, again. ”
she’s relaxing on a park bench when the black cat nestles against her tattered sneakers. it’s one of the few days that cameron doesn’t have either a shift at the diner or classes at the local high school. ( it’s a much needed break. ) a faint smile teases at her lips at the animal ; it reminds her of an old friend’s pet. a soft chuckle escapes her lips at familiarity of the voice apologizing. ( so the news was true : her best friend was free too. ) “ he must of recognized me, brina. leave it to you to be able to keep a cat after leaving. ” the comment is meant lightheartedly. cam knew how much the raven colored cat adored the blonde. “ it’s been a while. ”
“ You know the one thing I dislike? School spirit. “ JB says, as the young Jones sips her milkshake, looking over at the person across from her. “ It’s just a bunch of privileged kids going, ‘We have spirit, yes we do! Our school’s so much better than you!’ I mean, does it really matter if your school is better or not? “ She questions with a shrug. “ It’s just a school. ”
cameron lets the younger girl finish her long winded rant. she wonders if it’s on her mind often ( as jones certainly has a lot to say about school spirit. ) “ i can’t really say i got into school spirit thing either,” the senior begins honestly. she missed out on an ordinary education most of her childhood. maybe things COULD have been different. “ but yeah, the kids here are INTENSE when it comes to school pride for sure. ”
º◦・✧・◦º ┊PARIS BERELC, SHE/HER & CISFEMALE ┊ damn, look at CAMERON FIELDS this year! i heard that they’re EIGHTEEN and have lived on the SOUTHSIDE for 1 year. also, they tend to be ASSIDUOUS but also RETICENT, just incase you wanna get on their good side.
here is my second character, cameron fields !
her stats page is here !
( cult tw ) born cameron joanna fields, she spent her first couple years in her hometown of duluth, minnesota. things were relatively normally until her younger siblings lila and drew came along. she was eight when her parents uprooted cam and her siblings to greendale. this was the same cult sabrina was a part of.
cameron doesn’t really know what was the driving force in the move aside from ideology. looking back, she thinks it was largely due to financial security. she comes from a working class family, who did live paycheck to paycheck.
her family was not ranked high in the cult, but her father definitely benefited from the patriarchal system. before joining, her parents were always very traditional in that nature anyways.
long story short, cameron did not believe in the cult’s teachings. she felt helpless a lot of the time. her mother and siblings were fully immersed in it alongside her father, michael. her saving graces were two older children and sabrina spellman.
the older two children were dana and ian. four years older than her, they took her under their wing. if they hadn’t left the cult, perhaps she wouldn’t eventually escape herself.
sabrina was her age and would become her best friend. she was the only one who she told about her plan to leave the cult behind.
finding out sabrina would eventually leave too was some of the best news fields had gotten in a long while.
( death tw ) a few months before her seventeenth birthday, her mother mysteriously past away. while her relationship with her father is permanently scorched, cam did love her mother. she knows her death was no accident and she finally had enough.
upon turning seventeen, she left the cult. leaving at the dead of night, she was able to contact dana who had briefly settled in the southside.
dana stayed in riverdale for another two months and helped cam find a waitress job so she could try to support herself.
currently, cameron has been in riverdale for about a year and a half now residing in the southside. she rents out a room from a single mother, melissa. ( she vaguely reminds her of her own mother. ) they coexist and don’t talk about cam’s past or melissa’s job.
if she isn’t working, she’s at school catching up on lost time tbqh.
she’s rather closed off and doesn’t trust easily because of her past.
but please give her some love bc she needs some in her life.
welp that was a lot but give this a like if you’d like to plot something out. i’d love some connections for cam !
“Some people say home is where you come from. But I think it’s a place you need to find, like it’s scattered and you pick pieces of it up along the way.”
