Leather Jacket (Camren)

Christmas was soon over, with only one thing on everyone's mind, why did Collin do it?

Camila had spent Christmas with Lauren and she enjoyed every bit of it, even the part where Lauren accidentally set the food on fire.

But the pit in Camila's stomach from the discovery was now starting to ruin her mood. She spent the next couple days pacing around in her room, trying to figure out a logical explanation as to why Collin did it. But nothing made sense nor made up for the horrible crime.

It was the Monday after winter break and Lauren was excited to go to school after so long. Although she hadn't made up with Maggie yet, but she was planning to.

Lauren wondered the busy hallways, everyone's eyes were glued to her.

One boy accidentally slammed his friend in the face with his locker's door.

"Come on Jonathan, that's the third time this week," the friend angrily shouted, rubbing his nose which was now rose red.

"I'm sorry man," Jonathan frowned, examining his friend's nose.

Lauren rolled her eyes and made her way to her locker, noticing a big group of girls in front it. When one of them noticed Lauren approaching her locker, the rest of them turned around and began squealing.

"Uh, can I help all of you?" Lauren awkwardly asked, trying to get around the crowd and reach her locker.

"You can help me by taking me out on a date," a blonde girl said, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.

Lauren always had admirers, in fact Camila was one of them. Everyone wanted to date Lauren, but everyone was just too afraid of her. She wasn't used to girls blocking her locker, yet staying after school for her basketball game and cheering her on. It was strange no one had caught onto her thing with Camila yet.

"No can do, I've got a girl, thanks for the offer though," Lauren said, pushing through the crowd and finally getting her hands on her lock.

"Did we hear you right? Lauren Jauregui has a girlfriend?!" The leader of the group, Lauren knew her as Stephanie, said. Everyone had gone quiet and gave Lauren an intense stare, waiting for her answer.

Once Lauren got her locker open, she turned around and shrugged, "well yeah. Is that a problem?"

"Duh! You're only the sexiest girl in the school, you can't be taken," one of the girls whined.

"Listen girls," Lauren paused, she turned around and placed her books in her bags, causing everyone to patiently wait. Once she shut her locker, she turned back around and put her bag strap over one shoulder.

"If you even think about fucking shit up for me and my girlfriend, I promise you, I will create an even bigger problem for you bitches. Now if you'll excuse me, my girlfriend is waiting for me in class," Lauren said, before rolling her eyes at the group of girls and walking away.

Once Lauren was out of sight, Stephanie turned around and looked at her group, "so guess this means we're breaking up a couple?"

Back in class, Lauren walked in with all eyes on her. Everyone watched her every step as she made her way to her seat.

"Good morning," Camila yawned, looking up at her girlfriend.

Lauren looked down at her girlfriend and pecked her lips, "good morning princess," she said before sitting down.

"Okay class, settle down," Mr. Thomas shouted, rushing into class with his briefcase and coffee cup. He set his briefcase down and his coffee cup on his desk and straightened out his tie.
