Out Of The Shadows And Into The Spotlight

Chapter 11

Camila POV

It had taken me about 15 more minutes to get back to the house but when I did I just laid in bed. Dinah's words echoed through my head as I looked up at my ceiling.

She could be right, Camila. And you're just to stubborn to realize it.

I shook my head at the thought. Lauren was still caring and sweet, right? As my head began to throb because of the questions in my head there was a loud knock on the door.

"Who the fuck is at the door?!" I shouted, swinging open my door and walking to the front door. When I opened it I saw three people that made every bad thought today suddenly disappear. I saw my family.

"Kaki!" Sofi yelled, clinging to my right leg. A smile broke out on my face when she stared up at me, her innocent brown eyes looking up at me.

"Hey, Sofi. Long time no see." I greeted her happily. She just giggled and clung to my leg. I turned my gazed towards my parents who were just watching our interaction with smiles. "Mami! Papi!" I pulled them into a hug, trapping Sofi between our legs.

"Hey! I'm stuck! Let me out!" Sofi giggled, pushing on our legs. We let her out and she ran past us an into the kitchen.

Yep, she's a Cabello.

"It's so good to see you, Mija. We've missed you so much." My mom said, grabbing my cheeks and placing a kiss on my forehead.

"It's good to see you too, Mami. I needed someone to do my laundry." I let out a laugh, along with my father while my mom glared at us playfully.

"I thought I was paying Ally to do your laundry while you were gone?" I just shook my head at her question, knowing Ally wouldn't take her money or do my laundry.

"Anyway, we came to pick you up for a family dinner. The other girls said you left the pizza place because you wanted to see us." My dad said, giving me a kiss on my cheek. I smiled, thanking the girls for calling my family even when I stormed out on them.

"What are we waiting for? Let's get going. Sofi!" Right as her name came out of my mouth I heard her feet patter from the kitchen and soon she was next to me, a chocolate cookie sticking out of her mouth.

"We weaving?" She asked, talking as she chewed. I laugh at her, along with our parents, and nodded.

"Yeah, let's go."

...

After dinner with my family they dropped me off at the house and left, waving their hands outside the windows. I chuckled at their actions and walked inside.

"Come on, Ally! Just play with us!" I heard Dinah's voice echo through the halls. They must've been in the basement. I walked towards their voices just as Ally yelled.

"No! That's some demon shit! I ain't messin' with it!" That's when the basement door opened and I saw Ally. Dinah and Normani weren't far behind her. "Mila! Thank god. Tell them not to do that 'Charlie Charlie Challenge'. They won't listen to me." Ally whined as she stood next to me.

I almost facepalmed when I heard what they were trying to do.

"Let them do it, but we are not going to join you two." I stated, looking at Dinah and Normani who just smirked.

"We'll see about that." Normani said, stepping closer to Ally and I. "Dinah, you grab Camila while I grab Ally." Before Ally and I could react we were getting dragged down into the basement.

"Dinah! I don't want to play!" I shouted, trying to get free from her grip.

"It'll be fun! Stop being a wimp, Walz." I heard Dinah say as she pushed me down into a chair.

Fuck.

After many minutes of Dinah and Normani pleading to Ally and I, we finally decided to join. Now, we were all sitting around a table with a piece of paper and two pencils. The lights were out except for the small candle on the table that only lit our faces up. My hand was clinging to Dinah's while she just smirked.

"Okay, just repeat after me." Dinah started. "Charlie, Charlie, are you here?"

"Charlie, Charlie, are you here." We repeated in unison. The pencil stayed still for a moment before rotating to the 'Yes' section.

"Ohmyfuckinggod." I muttered, trying to pull away from Dinah but her grip got tighter. My eyes flickered up to the other girls, who were just as shocked as I was.

"Charlie, Charlie, are you good?" Dinah asked, since my eyes were glued to the pencils I saw the distinct movement the pencil made to the 'No' section.

"Charlie, Charlie, can we leave?" I got out, taking a deep breath. The pencil slowly moved to the 'Yes' section and I yanked my hand from Dinah's grip. "Nope. I'm done, Ally, bless that shit with your holy water." As the last word left my mouth, the other three girls bursted into laugher. I looked at them, confused, before I saw Demi stand up and smile at me.

"Hey, Camila." She said, holding back laugher. I felt anger rising up inside of me as I stared at the four of them. "I hope we didn't scare you too bad."

Too bad?! You fucking scared the shit out of me!

"But- I mean- how?." My voice was meant to sound calm but it came out as a squeak. Not to mention my stuttering. The four girls smirked at me and Demi bent down, blowing lightly on the pencil to make it move. "Bitches." I mumbled as I walked out of the basement, hearing their laugher echo around me.

I'll get you four back.

A/N: I am so sorry for not updating for a while. I just haven't had the time to write. But anyway, finals are over so I should be updating at least once a week, maybe more. And also, comment what you think. And I put the 'Charlie Charlie' thing in because some idiots at my school did it and I threw a water bottle at them, it was hilarious. Later.
