A SECOND CHANCE OF LOVE

4

CAMILA took a deep breath while staring at the entrance of Miami U, Normani already had her documents and what she expected she will take the final exam. Staring like this at the entrance feels like her first day here in Miami U. Camila sighed because it's not time to reminisce the past so she headed towards the entrance. Just like her first day too, she heard again the fast approaching of a ball coming towards her direction, she catch it with her left hand and it rolled in her palm, she grips it in her palm for it to halt then she stare at it, a baseball ball again. She looked up and saw Lauren slowly walking towards her, before Lauren take another step she throw the ball towards her and left without saying any words to the raven haired.

Lauren saw it, the sadness in Camila's brown eyes, she didn't saw her for the past few days, clearly avoiding her and she understand because she did it first so she can't fault Camila for doing the same to her, even their friends are wondering what happened to the both of them, she remained silent, unable to answer them and her friends didn't open up the topic again but she knew that Ally and Dinah misses Camila but for the sake of her belief she sacrifices her feelings towards Camila. She looked up but Camila was already gone.

NORMANI waited for 5hrs outside the university until she saw Camila approaching her, "how was it?" she asked as a greeting.

"Already done."

"As expected from you," and she handed the helmet to Camila, "ready to go home?"

"Yeah and I miss LA."

"LA misses you too, let's go home, Mila," and she opened the door in the driver's seat and hopped inside since Camila is riding its bike but the duffle bag is in the back seat of her car.

Camila nodded while looking at her helmet then she looked at to the building of Miami U she then wore the helmet and hopped on her motorbike, rev up the engine after giving the last look at Miami U then they rode off heading towards the hangar where the company jet is waiting for them.

LAUREN couldn't explain why she felt nervous after seeing a letter inside her locker, based on the handwriting it was from Camila, she didn't read it because she doesn't know what awaits her once she reads it, but her curiosity finally taken its toll, when she saw Dinah and Ally crying and the letters on the ground since they were on the field.

"Hey what's wrong?" she asked, worried.

Dinah looked up, her face was stained with tears and her make-up is ruined, "you didn't receive a letter from Walz, because she was saying goodbye to us Ralph."

Lauren froze in her spot, "what?" is the only word that she could muster.

Ally agreed, "I received one too, I thought Justin was just joking when he said that someone took Mila's school papers, I tried to call her number but its unattended now, even her pager number, Laur she left us..."

Lauren's lips are quivering, she couldn't believe what just happened, "but I just saw her this morning!" she defended.

"We don't know Laur, we really don't know, we don't know what to think anymore, she just give me pointers for our final exams," and she sniffs, "so this letter is not a joke, she already leave us," and she stood picking her letter, "I'm sorry I needed to be alone..." and she left.

Lauren was clenching her fists, she's hoping that she knew that this day would come when she saw her earlier, it's her fault, she made her friends cry and hurt them.

Dinah made a move too, "me too," and she wipe her tears, "it hurts me, I just lost my jogging buddy, she gave me her laptop and I need to take care of it, but I will see her again, there's no way this'll end for us," and she took her letter then grab her bag, "I'm sorry, Ralph," she said when she squeezed her shoulder and then left.
