Too late (Camren/Laurinah)

1 //

There's this girl.. Her name is Camila. Ever since I started  high school and I laid my eyes on her, I fell in love. Ever since Freshman year, she was always at least in 3-4 of my classes.

I only have 1 friend in this school. Her name is Dinah Jane. She actually my best friend. She's like my protector because she's bigger than me. (As in she's taller, and more built)

She's the only one who knows about my love for Camila. I haven't told Camila because, well.. she's not really into girls.

FLASHBACK // Freshman Year

So I honestly wasn't ready to go to highschool. I was scared. All that went through my mind was how highschool would be like. I pictured only the typical highschool scenarios in movies and on tv..

"Laur, are you excited?" my wonderful Polynesian best friend scooted next to me on the bus all happy. Nothing but smiles. I let out a fake smile. "I.... guess..." she hit me on my arm, "C'mon Laur, it'll be fun. I promise you I'll be there whenever you need me. Even if we aren't in the same classes okay?"

I grinned. The bus ride was only 5 minutes long, and I was super nervous. We stepped out of the bus staring at the school and the kids walking all over the school. Dinah had the biggest smile on her face, me on the other hand, I looked like I was going to die.

Dinah looked at me and extended her arm out and reached for my hand. She linked hers with mine, "Here, take my hand"

We walked to the front of the school where they were handing out folders and our schedules. It took about 20 minutes till we got to the front.

Dinah was looking at her schedule, and so was I. "Hey, what are your classes?" we compared it side by side and scanned it down.

Dinah's Schedule:
1 // Chorus
2 // Physical Science
3 // P.E / Health
4 // Pre-Algebra
5 // Social Studies
6 // English 1

Lauren's Schedule:
1 // Chorus
2 // Physical Science
3 // Social Studies
4 // Pre-Algebra
5 // P.E / Health
6 // English 1

"We have 4 of 6 classes together" Dinah looked at me and I smiled. "See Laur, you have nothing to worry about. You're just having 'first day jitters' it'll be gone by tomorrow"  I looked at everyone and sighed. "I guess you're right"

Dinah and I were heading to Chorus class. It was the first class of the day. We weren't the first to be in there but we sat in the back. I was focusing on my legs cause I was shaking them, tapping my feet.

I happened to look up, and the most beautiful girl walked into the class. My jaw dropped, and it felt like I was the only person in the room. I guess she saw me looking at her, since she smiled.

"Hello? Laur, are you there?" Dinah was waving her hand in front of my face. "What?" I broke out of my daze. "Ohhhh, I see" she was smirking when she figured out what got me so distracted.

"Hey. You should sit by us" Dinah called the girl I was drooling over. Why Dinah. Why. She smiled and walked over. I slapped Dinah's leg and she was laughing. "Hey, I'm Camila" her smile was so beautiful, her eyes were dreamy, and oh my gosh her voice...

"I'm Dinah, and this here is Lauren. I don't think you want to know her last name" she raised an eyebrow and laughed, "What's wrong with it?" Dinah showed her my ID "Try pronounce this" she tilted her head.

"Jaw-jaw ray--gey" it was so adorable but hella funny, Dinah and I couldn't help but laugh. "What!" she pouted "My point exactly" Dinah was being so mean to her but it was hilarious.

"It's Ha-reh-gey" we laughed. "I see. Don't worry, people pronounce my name wrong too" we looked at her ID. "Yeah Dinah, let's hear you pronounce that" I nudged her, so she grabbed Camila's ID. "Okay, well I know it's KUH-ME-LUH, KUH-BELL-OH?" she was laughing.

But I was just smiling at her laugh, "Okay fine. You got me there" she handed back her ID. "It's KUH-BAY-YO" Dinah sat up straight "I don't think I would have got that if you were to ask me again" we both laughed at Dinah.

She slouched in her chair again, crossed her arms and her right leg over her left. "Annoying" she looked irritated but she's knows we were joking.

The bell rang and our teacher walked in. She made us sing one song in front of the class as a first day assignment. We didn't have to sing the whole song though.

Camila went up first, I was a little nervous to hear how she sounded. But she went up so confidently. And it cause me to smile.

Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there.. In front of you..
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your own... faaaævorite song...

My jaw dropped again while she was singing that. I think I just fell in love with her. Everyone clapped except for me. I was still lost in that verse she just sang. "Lauren, Laur. Hello" Dinah nudged me a couple times. "Shit" I looked at Dinah, and Camila was already sitting down.

"It's your turn girl" I stood up and walked to the front of the class. When it comes to singing, I'm very confident. I looked at everyone, but my main focus was on Camila.

Some people want it all but I don't want nothing it all. If it ain't you baby, If I ain't got you baby.
Some people want diamond rings, some just want everything.
But everything means nothing, if I ain't got you.

I was still looking at Camila, and she was smiling too.
"That was amazing Lauren" she leaned forward to look at me. "Thanks, I think you're better though" she nodded. "No way" I think we could argue about this forever.

Then Dinah stood up between us "Okay, it's my turn. I'll show y'all what amazing sounds like" we both laughed. Dinah is actually really amazing.

If I were a boyyyyyy. I think I could understaaaaaand. How it feels to love girl. I swear I'd be a better maaan.

I stood up clapping my hands "Now that's how you do it y'all!" I was the only one who shouted when I looked around, everyone was looking at me, even Camila was but instead of looking at me weird. She was smiling.

That's how I knew. Just by the way she looked and smiled at me. But I mostly fell in love because of her laugh. Everything about her made me smile in an instant.

I hate to say this, but, thank you Dinah Jane Hansen. I fricken love you. To be honest, if it wasn't for Dinah. I would not have been friends with Camila in the first place.

A/N: How they met Camila. The next chapters will be a few flashbacks too so I will put if it's present day or a flashback (:
Let me know what ya think.
