Summary:
In which Camila and Lauren share an art class, and Lauren draws a picture of Camila as she admires her from afar.
***
"Okay, everyone. Today's assignment is to make your own rendition of something that means a lot to you." Mrs. Baker began to tell her high school art class. "You can use any class materials; such as pencils, markers, crayons, and colored pencils. It doesn't have to be a drawing, as it can also be a clay sculpture or a painting. Feel free to be creative, and be sure to choose something that really makes your life worth living. You guys maybe begin, and have fun with it!"
Lauren Jauregui sat alone at the back of the classroom contemplating what she was going to do. This girl had friends, but she always sat alone in art class so she wouldn't be disrupted from her artwork. She knew that she'd be using a pencil and paper, but she didn't know what she was going to draw a picture of. Of course she could go with the obvious choice of drawing a grand piano or electric keyboard for her love of music, but there was something else that made Lauren's life really worth living. That something was her crush, Camila Cabello.
Camila Cabello was popular, and Lauren had always assumed that she was straight, which were two reasons that Lauren had always had for not approaching her to tell her what she thought about her. From her dark brown, wavy hair to the tips of her gold-painted toenails, Lauren thought she was the most perfect human being. She loved the way that her vanilla scent swept up into her nostrils as she entered the classroom each day, and how the room lit up immediately when she walked in.
Every single day, and every single art class, Lauren would admire Camila and all of her beauty. She took in every feature of the smaller Latina girl; including her tanned skin, pearly white smile, and especially those cute little bows that she would wear to school every day. Drawing Camila wouldn't be difficult for Lauren at all, since she spent the entire school year studying how perfect she really was. This made things easier so she wouldn't have to awkwardly look at her for the entire class. That would really creep Camila out, and it would probably ruin any chance of Lauren coming close to being acquaintances as the very least.
Immediately, Lauren began to draw Camila in all of her perfection. Before she touched her pencil to the paper. she glanced up to see that Camila was gathering painting materials. Lauren needed to see her one last time in order to refresh her memory for the drawing, which was all she needed. When she began the drawing, she started off by drawing the outline of Camila's very round face, as well as her facial features.
Next, she drew Camila's eyes, which were always a perfect, caramel brown that would glisten in the sunlight as it entered the classroom through the windows. Lauren was precise by drawing on the top eyeliner that she always wore, as well as her mascara on her. She finished the shape off by drawing on Camila's rounded eyelids. Before continuing, she took a look at the drawing so far to see that it was coming along just as she had expected. When the shape of Camila's narrow eyes was finished, Lauren drew in the iris and dotted it with a smaller, black dot in the middle to represent the tiny pupils in Camila's eyes.
Then came the time to draw her nose, her very perfectly shaped and sized nose at that. Lauren started to draw the shape, being sure to include the perfect amount of shading as she did so. She remembered how Camila's nose would point downward a little, as opposed to upward. The shape of her nostrils was of a stretched out oval, which Lauren managed to capture in the drawing. When Lauren had drawn the vertical groove, known as the philtrum, below her nose, it was time to draw Camila's lips and perfect teeth.
