"OH MY GOD IM TIRED" Dinah yells while throwing herself on the ground after practice "Conditioning should be illegal, how is it possible that it's allowed... it's like child cruelty." Dinah looks around to see if anyone agrees with her, everyone just stares at her "Lauren please tell me you agree with me" she gets on her knees and crawls over to me and grabs my shoulders and shakes me, "tell me you agree" In between laughs and being shaken I tell her that I agree, she's so strong "Camila what about you" both Dinah and I look over to Camila who is sitting staring at us just smiling, before Camila can respond to Dinah, Ally decides it's time to end that conversation, "Dinah how about you come over here for a second?" she asks, Dinah will always listen to Ally, she gets up and they walk away to talk for a bit. I hear a bit of shuffling from the left side where Camila was sitting.

Camila grabs her bags and moves them closer to mine, she sits down next to me, there's a silence between us "So" "Do" we both spoke at the same time, we both just look at each other and smile and let out breathy laughs. "You go first" she says smiling at me, "so how long have you know Dinah and Ally?" after I ask my question, Camila looks over at the two talking in the distance, "I've known Dinah since the 3rd grade, we've became pretty inseparable since, Dinah and I met Ally In the 6th grade, she was the new girl and we both befriended her, mostly because she brought some baked goods to lunch and Dinah wanted some" we both laugh at the last thing she said.

"What were you going to ask?" I look over at her, she looks like she's trying to remember, after some thought "oh I was going to ask if yo-" she was cut off when she heard her phone ring, she answered her phone. "Sorry, that was my mom, she's here, I've got to go." with that she yelled over to Dinah and Ally that her mom was here to take them home. I told them goodbye and sat on my phone waiting for my mom.

I have been thinking about what Camila was going to ask me yesterday, but I also don't want to be annoying and ask her what it was. I walk over to my locker and start putting my things away, the day hasn't even started and I'm already not feeling it.

"Hey girly" I look over to my left side and it's Mani holding her folders and leaning next to my locker, I look over to her and just give her a small smile "hey is everything okay?" she asks worried "I'm fine, I just don't feel it today I don't know, but enough about me how's everything with you and Andrew?" there's a long pause "nothing is going on, I got back with Noah" this honestly annoys me, he treats her like absolute garbage, but she says he loves her and she loves him, if that's love I don't want it "Mani....." I heard her groan "I know I know I don't know why but I just can't leave him." the bells rings, we have 5 minutes to get to class, I tell her that I'll see her later and walk to my first period.

If I'm being honest, I'm not sure if I'm ready to accept that I may like girls. Like what if it is just a phase and it's just this one girl that has me feeling like this? I mean I have thought some girls have been very pretty in the past, but no one has really caught my attention like this. Even if I do like girls, my family isn't very accepting of gay people. I've heard how they talk about them, and I hear how negative they are. I don't want to lose them forever because of this.

Justin looks over at me and notices the frown that is beginning to show up on my face "hey are you okay?" he asks in a low whisper. I look towards him and fake a smile "yah I just have a stomachache" I think he notices that what I said was a small lie "if you need anyone to talk to, I'm here, really" if I could talk about this with anyone it would be Justin. Justin is like my brother; he has helped me in the past when I was having issues with my family but I'm too scared. "I know, thank you" I gave him small shove with my shoulder and a smile.

I feel my phone vibrate multiple times so decide to check why the soccer group chat is going crazy.

Camila: hey guys! I'm going to an amusement park with my sister and her friend, and I have one extra ticket, Dinah and Ally can't come with me, so I was wondering if any of you want to come with me?

the entire chat was filled with girls from the team saying that they would go with her and asking questions like what day they would be going and the time. I notice she hasn't picked anyone to go with yet. I look up to check if the teacher is looking before I text.

Lauren: pick me!:)

with that I locked my phone and started to pay attention to what the teacher was saying before I get caught texting. After a few minutes go by I feel my phone vibrate, I wait for the teacher to start writing on the board before I check what the notification is, I see that it's a message on snapchat.

Camila: you want to come to the amusement park with me? :))
