Love never dies (Camren)

Chapter 22

Camila POV

From: George
-Hey, Camila. Where were you? We have a lot to talk about when I get back:)-

George was starting to annoy me. I know he's my counsellor and he was just trying to help me, but is he even allowed to be texting me?

To: George
-Sorry, Lauren needed me.-

I texted him back, hoping that would be the end of it, as Lauren stirred in her sleep, slowly opening her beautiful eyes.

"Morning, Camz." She said, letting out an adorable yawn, causing me to giggle.
"Good morning, Lo." I said, prodding the side of her cheek. "What's got you so happy this morning?" She asked, sitting up, stretching. "Just being able to wake up next to you." I said smoothly, wrapping my arms around her, as she smiled widely, reciprocating the hug.

"So, are you ready to face the day?" I asked Lauren, as I stood up, digging through my closet for something to wear, and for something for Lauren to wear.

"No, not really." Lauren mumbled, her whole demeanour changing from happy to moody. "Why? Don't worry about Kylie, in fact don't even speak to her, that way, you can't get in trouble." I told Lauren,  handing her some clothes. "Thanks. And it's not Kylie...I have to join the Basketball team." She said, frowning.

"What? Since when?" I asked, confused. "Since yesterday. But it's cool I guess. I used to play softball, so it's not like I'm not very athletic or anything." She said shrugging.

"Yeah, but, you know you'll be spending all of your time training, right? I'll never get to see you." I said, disappointed, as Lauren moved closer to me. "Hey, don't worry about that, okay? You're my main priority, and I'll make sure everyone knows that. Besides, I'll probably be kicked off within a week." She joked, causing me to chuckle lightly.

"I love you, shit head." I said, ruffling Lauren's hair, as she swatted my hand away. "It's a good job I love you too." She said, standing up to get changed.

We decided to be early for school for once, so after a quick breakfast of a slice toast, a drink of orange juice and brushing our teeth and hair, we made our way to school looking like homeless people. But who cares, because today, I wasn't in the mood to even try to look glamorous.

Once inside the school gates, Lauren gave me a quick kiss on the lips. "I'll see you later, okay?" She said, once she pulled away. "Wait, where are you going?" I asked, gripping onto her arm. Call me clingy, but I didn't want her to leave just yet.

"I have to go and see the principal about joining the basketball team. Don't worry, I'll see you first lesson, okay?" she asked, as I nodded slowly. "Okay, I love you." I told her, as she smiled widely. "I love you too babe." She said, kissing me once more, before hurrying off into the school.

I saw Ally and Troy over by the field, so I made my way over to them. Dinah and Normani wouldn't be here for ages yet, and Ally was the only one of us who always showed up early.

"Hey, Mila! What are you doing here so early? I mean, no offence but..." Ally started rambling and I cut her off before she could say anymore. "Lauren stayed over last night, and she had to be in early today." I told Ally, who just looked at me suspiciously.

"Weren't you meant to be home alone last night? What were you and Lauren up to?" She asked, nudging me.
I could feel my face burning bright red, as I nudged her back. "Shut up Ally. We only cuddled. I thought you were meant to be the innocent one." I said, as she just raised her eyebrows at me.

"Just cuddled, huh? Your bright red face says otherwise, you sneaky little-" and before Ally could finish her sentence, Normani came up behind me.
