"That's her, right there." Camila nodded in Lauren's direction. The students didn't pick on Camila for her incident the other day but instead, chose to ignore it.

Dinah glanced around the hallway until she spotted the girl talking to her friend.

"So you want me to try and hook you up with her?" Dinah squinted.

"Yes, yes please I'd love you forever if you could make that happen." Dinah's heart skipped a beat at the word love. She looked over at Camila and noticed the girl staring at the other girl who was still talking with her friend. She felt a pang of jealousy in her chest.

Why am I jealous? Dinah thought to herself.

"Alright." Dinah snapped Camila out of her little trance.

"First things first, you gotta talk to her. Your best bet is to ask her about getting a tutor in some class and maybe she'll tutor you." Dinah proposed.

"That's a great idea! Maybe I should ask her about tutoring me in chemistry! Get it!" Camila laughed softly. Dinah smiled and shook her head.

"You're really funny little one." Dinah patted the top of Camila's head. Camila swatted her hand away and gave Dinah a thumbs up before walking over to Lauren.

Dinah watched from afar, waiting for Lauren to reject the younger girl so she could fix it, but instead, Lauren complied quickly. Dinah clenched her jaw instinctively. Camila later came skipping back over to Dinah, who was now inside of the janitors closet.

"She said yes! Finally! She actually had a real conversation with me!" Camila squealed excitedly.

"That's great." Dinah rocked back and forth on her heals.

"Our first date is-"

"Whoa whoa you asked her on a date!?" Dinah yelled.

"I uh no, but I'd like to consider it one..." Camila blushed.

"Sorry right yeah okay! When is it?" Dinah leant against the shelf.

"It's tonight at six and I'm super duper excited!" Camila bit her lip and looked up at Dinah. When Dinah didn't say anything, Camila became worried.

"Is that too soon? Should I change the date? Are you okay?" Camila asked frantically.

"Yeah yeah I'm fine don't worry! Tonight is great! Well I uh have to go so meet me in your room when you get home?" Camila frowned slightly.

"You don't wanna stay the rest of the day with me?" Camila pouted.

"I would love to chancho but I can't."

"Chancho? Where'd you come up with that?" Camila tilted her head to the side.

"I heard someone call their friend that once, I dunno what it means but I liked it." Dinah shrugged.

"Oh okay... well-" Camila was cut off by the sound of the bell.

"I gotta go to class! Bye uh... cheechee!" Camila pulled Dinah into a quick hug before skipping off to class.

Once the smaller girl was completely out of her site, she kicked the smaller bucket full of cleaning supplies. She didn't like the idea of Camila with another girl.

"So Dinah, why're you here?" Her boss asked her.

"I- I can't work with my current client. She's... It's... well it's complicated and I don't think I can do it." Dinah spoke bashfully.

"You don't think you can do it?" He leaned forward, so far forward that their noses were almost touching.

"This is your job Dinah! Just because something is hard doesn't mean you should give up. Finish the job or you're fired, you have two weeks." He leaned back in his chair.
