There's Just Inches In Between US

Old friends reunion

No Ones POV:

They have a three day weekend, and it's another Saturday morning. Monday students have off for the strawberry festival. Waking up Lauren was told by her parents to get herself ready and cancel any plan she had with friends.

So she did, now she joins her family down stairs. Excited to know who are the visitors they are having over.

"Who's the visitors? Are they people we know"

Michael hums. "Uh hm, people we known for years now"

"So please guys be in your best behavior when they get here" Clara added.

Lauren sits next to Taylor on the two space couch. Actually quite excited to know who is the family.

Chris decides to ask. "And are they going to like stay the night or.."

"Yes indeed Chris, and we are having a road trip with them" the father of the family replied.

A ring at the door making him go answer the door, Clara joining to greet the visitors.

However Lauren cheeky smile fades away when she recognized the family voice.

"Alejandro!"

"Aye Michael"

"Hii Clara"

"Sinuhe welcome"

The Cabello family appears at the living room, Taylor and Chris getting up excited to greet the Cabello sisters.

Lauren puts on a fake excited expression and goes to greet them too. With Sofia she actually didn't have any problem giving a hug to.

The problem was with Camila.

"What's up mami" she whispered as they hugged.

Lauren rolled her eyes. "Don't call me that again i swear Camila"

Yet, the cologne Camila is wearing made her want to hug her again and stay in that position for some hours.

"Alejandro, who's car are we taking" Michael said, walking to the garage to get the cooler and Alejandro following.

"Your mini van of course man"

With the dads gone, and the mothers gathering the snacks and food. Taylor, Chris, and Sofia joining them in the kitchen.

Leaving Camila and Lauren alone.

"Hah, wanna sit next to each other, cause I don't mind sitting next to a mamacita"

"Aren't you ashamed of talking to me like that, we aren't even friends or anything close to that" the green eye Latina chuckled.

The blonde scoffed. "I'm shameless, and I don't care if I'm forgiven"

"Well I don't forgive you for that unnecessary kiss"

"Fuck then I do care"

Lauren was going to walk away rolling her eyes, however the blonde grabbed her waist and held her, making direct eye contact. Indeed another kiss was about to occurr.

The crazy thing is non of the both girls are parting away from the moment. It's weird, if they aren't friends nor anything close to that.

"Okay girls let's get going" Michael announced.

Camren immediately acting as if nothing was about to happen between them.

"Alright papi, we'll be there"

Grabbing her luggage, she begins to make her way out. Not expecting Camila to hold her hand and make her let go of the luggage, taking it for her.

Green flag y'all.
.
..

The mans of the family sitting in the front, Clara and Sinuhe next to each other with Sofia in between them. Taylor and Chris sitting together. Meanwhile Camren ended up sitting next to each in the back.

"Anyone wanna put the music on?" Michael asked.

Getting an amount of yes, the whole car just echoed with yes. Now it depends to choose what type of song.

"Put on a Latino playlist" Camila suggested.

Agreeing the music starts to play, everyone vibing to the song. Indeed Lauren was on her phone texting her friends, not aware that the blonde was peeking.

"Can I help you" she scolded.

"Remember you gotta be nice with me, our parents are in the same car"

"As long as they don't hear me"

A smirk formed on her lips, Camila wiggles her brow, eyeing their family and then putting her arm around Lauren shoulder.

"I don't think your parents would be proud to know that you have been bullying nerds and including me"

"Don't you dare-"

"Then put your phone down and spend time with the family"

"You aren't my family"

The music was a bit loud for the rest in the front to not hear their conversation. The younger ones were playing a game of charade with the mothers.

Meanwhile Camren take the chance to talk about the last kissed they had.

"Well you are right, and about that kiss-"

"It meant nothing"

"Yes the fuck it did, you even kissed me back, and you were caressing my neck and playing with my hair"

"Stop insisting Camila!"

The blonde huffed frustrated, she was denying it again, denying the tension between them during the kiss.

"There you go again, denying that you had some sort of feeling for our kiss"

She shrugged. "Oh welp, if it didn't mean anything to me then it didn't"

There was a moment of silence, the sound of their family enjoying the ride, and both girls in an awkward situation.

"Of course, you are right, we aren't even friends. That kiss was my mistake, my bad if I kissed you, it won't happen again"

After that, Camren stayed quiet for the rest of the ride. Until they arrived at the strawberry festival and had a great time there too. Meanwhile Lauren had to pretend enjoying going on rides with Camila.

There was something in her that made her feel different, in her mind she doesn't enjoy Camila company, but her heart beats faster being around her.

Our heart can make us confused about what we think, if her heart does something different and her mind tells her something else.

Which one should she follow, her mind or her heart.

However, her status at school, that is what her mind is telling her. The status matters and it includes being popular and ignoring the blonde.
