“Sorry to bother you actually. There just…well there was no sugar on my table and so I was wondering if I could borrow the sugar on yours,” Camden asked the girl, his eyes narrowing as he tried to place her. She did, after all, look familiar. What was her name? She was in the same grade as Chels right?
Bella knew the voice immediately and her head shot up to double check that she was, indeed, being spoken to by him. He was looking at her, speaking to her, no one else, and her heart and stomach were both lurching unnaturally. After three years of watching him, she still couldn’t believe there could be anyone so perfect.
Wait. Sugar. He asked me for sugar.
“Of course,” she said, her voice slightly more high pitched than usual. Bella reached quickly for the sugar and handed it to him before realizing what she had done. She gave him what he asked for, and no he had no other reason to speak to her.
“Sorry, I don’t want to be rude,” Bella said, not looking up from her english homework at the person who approached her. She had gotten a booth in the corner of the cafe for a reason. Her parents were fighting again, and she needed a more secluded place to work. “But I’m pretty busy, what do you need?”
╰ ∙ ˚ ODEYA RUSH + SHE/THEY (DEMIGIRL) + 18 ✧ well, if it isn’t BELLA BURMAN. haven’t seen you in a while. last I heard, kassi was going to reveal YOU HAVE BEEN STALKING YOUR CRUSH FOR YEARS at graduation, so it’s no wonder you’d want her gone. but i’m sure it’s just a rumor that you DIDN’T TELL ANYONE WHEN YOU HEARD SCREAMING. I mean, you can’t believe everything you hear, right? see you at the memorial, dearie! —KK.
when she was ten, Bella was diagnosed with OCD. Ever since then, she’s been very sensitive to people saying “OMG im so OCD because I like things in order” etc.
although her condition did “help her” keep things orderly, it manifested itself more towards celebrities. It started when she saw Adam Lambert on American Idol, and she was hooked. She collected pictures to add to the collage on her wall and spent all of her allowances on merch. She kissed every picture before going to bed every night until he came out, and she cried for a week straight.
Then, when she got to high school, it transitioned to Camden.
TW STALKING he was a sophomore when she was a freshman, but the second she saw him, she thought she was in love. She found out his name that day, then did everything she could to find out his schedule and worked hers around it so she could be in the same building with him at all times. She’s gotten up the nerve to say hi to him exactly seventeen times over the past three years.
It’s gotten so bad that if she doesn’t see him or a post from him on social media for about three hours, she feels physically ill. That’s why she went to the senior party that night; it had been hours since he posted.
she actually witnessed his secret, but shes in denial, continually thinking they are meant for eachother
shes really smart, just delusional. And she’s actually going for valedictorian.
