Chapter 17

*Camila's POV*

I know it's wrong considering she is probably straight and I have no chance at being more than friends with her but I feel so angry and jealous. I wish it was that easy. As easy as it is for a jock to call the love of my whole life 'hot' and woe her when every attempt I could ever make to come on to her just seems friendly all because we're the same gender. I don't want to be this hostile, I never want to hurt Lauren in anyway. She thinks I only think of her as a friend and she thinks that I have his hot boyfriend and I could never be jealous and mad at her and I wish that was true, I wish I could never be mad at her for something that's not her fault but it's all to hard. I check the stalls to make sure that nobody's here and start to sob and slouch down to the cold concrete floor.

My useless pity party comes to an end when the door slams open. I jump up, wipe my eyes with my sleeve and pretend to be fixing my hair until I realize that it's just Ally.

"Hey" she says in a soft, almost motherly tone.

"You seemed really upset. Everything ok?" She says as her brown eyes meet my puffy, red eyes and her expression changes. Shít, she can tell.

"ye-ah" I say. Of course my voice had to crack and make it sound like I was crying- which I was.

"Camila," she runs a hand through my hair. "Can I tell you something?"

I swallow, unsure of what she has to say. "sure"

"I see the way you look at Lauren. I always have. I know the other girls don't see it, trust me" she laughs halfheartedly "I just want to let you know that I am here for you. No matter who it is that you love. Got it?"

I am too in awe of how much of an amazing person that Ally brooke Hernandez is that all I can do is wrap my arms around her. She hugs me back, rubbing my back.

"A-Ally." I croak into the crook of her neck.

"Yes, Mila." she answers. I pull away to look her in the eyes.

"You promise...not to say anything? I mean I think I will when I'm ready but in the meantime?"

"I promise." she says with a smile. "now let's fix you up and go back out, I told them that I went to my locker so we should probably go back at different times" she laughs as she runs a paper towel under cold water and dabs my eyes to de-puff them and we start to walk out.

She puts her arm around me.

"Listen, Girl. It's gonna be alright, Ok?"

"Ok" I smile as she walks towards the school exit. I lag back realizing several things: 1) Ally is an angel walking on planet Earth 2) I'm now calm enough to realize that whatever Lauren does, I will support her because that's what love is about 3) I just officially came out...
