somewhere in heaven

Chapter Five

Dinah waited patiently in Camila's living room for her to come home. Dinah didn't know what to think about what had happened earlier.

"Psst Dinah!" She heard Camila whisper.

"I need you to open the door because I left my key in my room." Dinah giggled and opened the door, but almost shut it when she noticed a figure behind Camila.

"Oh got it!" She said to the guy behind her.

They both walked into the house and Camila proceeded upstairs, the tall boy following close behind.

Dinah soon skipped up the stairs and stopped when she noticed him flirting with Camila.

"Nice house."

Wow dude... Is that the best you got? Dinah scoffed.

Camila just blushed.

Since when was she straight? Dinah was beyond confused by now... first Camila kisses her on the cheek... then she goes and brings a guy home?

The guy had shaggy, dirty blonde hair... literally. Slightly ripped jeans and combat boots. His eyes were hazel and to top it all off, he was covered head to toe in tattoos and piercings.

Dinah grimaced at the sight before her.

This guy isn't even attractive! I don't know what she sees in him. Dinah shook her head.

Camila peeked over the tall guys shoulder and frowned when she spotted an angry Dinah.

"Look Max, I think it'd be best if we did this another night... I just don't feel comfortable doing it... here in my house..."

What does she mean 'not comfortable'!? What we're they gonna do!? Dinah began to panic and her breathing quickened.

"We can go to my place if you want." He smirked.

Oh no... Not again... Dinah grabbed the guys from the collar of his leather jacket and threw him to the ground.

"Dinah!" Camila screamed.

"Whoa what?" Max rubbed the back of his head and pushed himself off of the ground.

"I'm sorry... How about we meet up at your place tomorrow.. I think there's like a ghost in my house... She goes by the name of Dinah." Camila smiled at the dirty blonde boy.

"Yea okay..." He nodded and left.

"What the hell was that for!?" Camila crossed her arms.

"I don't need you running around and having sex with boys! This doesn't help me make someone fall in love with you!" Dinah crossed her arms over her own chest as well.

"Sex!? You think I invited him over so we could have sex!? You're out of your damn mind! He's in my art class! I invited him over so he could teach me how to paint so I could try to impress Lauren!" Camila said. Dinah was still comprehending what she had just happened so it took her minute to think of a response.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have made assumptions... I'm just I get j- I feel left out." Dinah quickly saved herself.

"Left out?"

"Yeah... You know... The third wheeler." Dinah shrugged.

"Oh... Well I'm sorry too.. For yelling... I've been doing that a lot lately." Camila pursed her lips.

"It's okay Chancho... And I think I have an idea..." Dinah trailed off.

"What is it?"

Camila gripped the vase nervously in her hands. She was scared she was gonna drop it from shaking so much. Dinah had informed her that Lauren was staying at Normani's house this weekend, so Camila thought she'd leave a little surprise.

Suddenly becoming to nervous to have to face her, she set the glass vase full of flowers down on the doorstep and rang the doorbell, before running around the side of the house and pressing her back to the wall so no one could see her. This reminded Camila of all those times the boys in her neighborhood would ding-dong-ditch everyone, leaving a bag of dog poo on their doorstep and running. Camila giggled lightly at the memory but immediately shut up when she heard someone call out.

"Hello?"

"Is anyone there?"

Silence took over and Camila peeked around the corner to see of the coast was clear. When she didn't see anyone, she made a mad dash for the woods behind the house. It was getting dark out and Camila had left her phone at home by accident.

She took off through the woods darting around trees until she tripped over a tree limb, causing her to fall onto the ground and scrape up her hands, elbows, and knees.

"Ow." She brushed the dirt off of her yellow shirt and tried to start running, only to fall right back down. A bolt of pain shot through her ankle as she tried to stand again. She clutched it and hissed in pain.

"Dinah!" Camila called out, hoping that somehow, the Polynesian girl would hear her.

a/n: kind of just a short filler chapter.
