Change Isn't Always A Bad Thing (Camren)

Chapter Two

I haven't seen her for the rest of the day after English, which really bugs the crap out of me. How hard is it to find a beautiful, dark haired Latina in these halls? Well, it's pretty fucking hard when all you see around you are nothing but a whole student body of brunettes and the occasional blonde!

The faces in the crowd seem to recognize me as I scan them. The usual "Hi Camila" or "Hey Mila!" are thrown my way, but I don't bother to reply to any of them. Well, except for one.

"Mila! I've been looking for your ess since the beginning of the day! You were supposed to wait for me after English class like we usually do. But no! I had to look like an idiot standing by the door waiting for you, until finally Mr. Miller noticed me stupidly staring inside his class. I didn't even notice no one was even in there! Why didn't you text or call me? Are you even listening to a single word I'm saying right now?!" Her loud voice screeches through the halls as I spot a familiar Tongan coming closer and closer to me.

It's like her words are going straight through one ear and out the other. I had no time for this, where the fuck is this girl?

"And now you're ignoring me too. Wow, okay Chanch. Hoi, call me when you get your head screwed on straight," Call her? Wait, that gives me an idea!

As soon as Dinah pivots and starts walking away from me, I grab her arm and spin her around to face me once more.

"Are you bipolar or someth--" "Listen, there's this girl in my English class. She's been in my head all day and she's got me looking for her everywhere! I just can't seem to find her," I rush out all in one breath turning my head every so often to try and catch a glimpse of the goddess inhabiting my thoughts.

The lengths a girl would go through just for her.

"A girl?? This is what this is all about!" At first she seemed as if she was majorly pissed off, I thought she was one second from biting my head off. I was gravely mistaken.

"Shit, Chanch why didn't you just say so? I knew this day would come," She forcefully grabs my forearm and drags me to her locker, which was just a few steps away from where we were.

The girl in front of me seemed to be radiating excitement as she opened her locker to take out her notebook and began scribbling away.

Not even a single word was spoken in those few minutes. I didn't dare to interrupt whatever thought process Dinah was in, God knows she only gets this concentrated when she's hit a breakthrough.

"Aren't you even going to ask me what I'm doing?" Dinah mumbles as she paves away writing as fast her hand can let her.

"But this is such a wonderful sight! I've never seen Dinah Jane so into something that's not on a phone scre-" "Oh shut up, I'm just writing down how you finally told me you were somewhat into girls..." Wait what?

Oh shit, I did?

"Dinah I never said that? I don't know where you could possibly get that idea from. I think I would know if I told you I was gay. But I didn't, I'm straight okay," I nervously play with the hair tie on my wrist as to divert eye contact with the intimidating girl staring straight at me.

Right then and there I see a flash of a familiar dark haired girl turning around the corner heading towards us. I watch as she stops three feet away from us and tries to open her locker. Which she fails miserably three times at least.

I can see the way she furrows her eyebrows in concentration and how an exasperated sigh leaves her gorgeous lips.

"Chanch, you got some drool right there..." An annoying voice from my right brings me back to reality.

I can feel a thumb on the corner of my mouth wiping away the imaginary drool. Well, what I thought was imaginary. Dinah, being the child she always is, slaps the side of my face with the same hand she used to wipe my drool off.

Of course, the sound of the slap echoes through the hall and captures everyone's attention. Especially Lauren. Why do I call this idiot my best friend again?

"Shit, Dinah that slap could've been heard around the world!" Another girl's voice laughs out loud, and I could recognize it to be none other than Dinah's dance partner, Normani.

These two are the biggest idiots ever, as they both are slapping each other senseless. Their stupidity has everyone quietly laughing as they try to go on with their day.

"You've got some really weird friends Cabello," The voice startles me as I look to my side and see Lauren standing there with her arms crossed watching the scene in front of us.

"Did you open your locker yet?" I snicker as Lauren grimaces and glares at me.

"Shut up. That locker hates me," Lauren replies, hitting my shoulder.

I start walking towards her "evil" locker and slam my fist against it. Not too hard that it hurt my hand, but just hard enough to budge the locker open.

"How the fuck-" "I'm just that amazing babe," I wink at her and her pale complexion reddens as she stammers over her next words.

Did I just call her babe?

"Babe? I like the sound of that Cabello,"

Yeah, I just called her babe.
