Lauren pov

"So, wanna do something tonight?" Camila asked me, as we walked out of last lesson, towards Camilas locker, so she could grab her stuff. "Camz, I'd love to, but..." I started as Camila's sad eyes stared back at me. "Basketball?" She asked me disappointedly. I nodded my head regretfully and hesitantly, wishing I could spend time with Camila instead of going and playing some stupid sport that didn't even interest me. "You know if it were up to me, I'd always choose you over something I didn't even willingly sign up for...I would choose you over anything, Camz." I told her, caressing her cheek carefully with my hand, as she leaned in closer to me, hugging me tightly. "I know, LoLo." She told me, causing me heart to melt. She hasn't called me LoLo in ages.

"But,its Friday night. I'll come straight over to your house after practice, and we'll spend all weekend together, okay?" I asked her, as she nodded happily, her smile growing bigger across her beautiful face. "I love you, okay?" I told her, as she rested her forehead on mine. "I love you too." She told me, connecting our lips softly. The kiss lasted for a good few minutes, but still, that wasn't long enough, I could kiss her all day, everyday.

"Go on, Camz. Ally is still in the parking lot, please get a lift home with her. I don't want you walking on your own." I told her, squeezing her hand in my own.

I watched Camila get in Allys car, before I made my way to the changing rooms. "Hey, Lauren." Leanne said, as I entered the changing room and started getting changed into my shorts and Tshirt. "Oh, uh, hey." I said, trying to ignore her, but also not trying to be rude.

"I feel like you don't like me." Leanne said, chuckling lightly, as I scrunched my nose up. "I don't even know you, so no offence or anything, but I'm not really your biggest fan, but I don't dislike you." I told her truthfully, as I saw her raising an eyebrow. "So what you're saying is; if you knew me better we could be friends?" She asked me, sounding hopeful. "Uh, yeah. Sure why not?" I said, not wanting to crush her spirits. "Well uh, how about we go for a coffee or something? We could get to know each other, right?" Leanne asked me, as I nodded hesitantly. "Yeah, but I'm busy all weekend." I told her straight away, before she tried to plan anything that would interrupt my time with Camila. "Really? All weekend?" She asked, seemingly not believing me. "Yeah, all weekend. I'm spending time with my girlfriend, since I don't get to see her a lot because of stupid basketball." I admitted, zipping my bag up, getting ready to walk out of the changing room. "Oh. Well, maybe we could go after practise? Theses a Starbucks about ten minutes away? I'd really like to be friends with you, Lauren." Leanne told me, standing next to me now. The last of the girls were leaving the changing room now, leaving Leanne and I standing stupidly alone by the door. "I, uh...I dunno." I said, hesitantly, rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly. Leanne seemed like she was being very flirty with me, although I couldn't be sure weather she was just naturally flirty, or if she was even flirting intentionally, but I didn't like it.
"We're on the same team, Lauren. Come on. We might as well be friends, it's better than being enemies, right?" She asked me, laughing. She had a point. "It's a Friday night too, so we won't have to rush." She said positively, as we walked out towards the school field. "Well, that's not exactly true. I told my girlfriend I would be straight over her house after practice. But i guess we can stop for 10 minutes." I said, as we joined the rest of the girls for seemingly endless basketball practice.

It seemed to me like we had been at practice for a lifetime, although, in reality, it had only been a few hours.
All I wanted to do was go and see Camila, but Leanne, much to my dismay, did in fact remember that i had agreed to go and get a coffee with her.

The drive to Starbucks was filled with an awkward silence, as Leanne kept messing with my radio. I swiped her hand away from it, as she looked at me, seemingly offended. "Im sorry but the only people allowed to touch my radio are Camila and Dinah...and i only let Dinah because she'll beat me up if I tell her no." I admitted, as Leanne raised an eyebrow at me.
"Your friends beat you up?" She asked, as I nodded. "Yeah, we all always playfight, its really fun. Well, Ally doesnt really join in very much, shes scared shell get squished because shes so small." I said, laughing to myself.
Finally after some small talk, mostly of me talking happily about my friends, we arrived at Starbucks, and I literally shot out of the car, and through the front enterance of Starbucks. (AN: Like Dinah shooting off stage at the KCAs when the girls got slimed xD)

"Okay, either you really fucking love coffee, or you just want this to be over." Leanne said, as I scrunched my eyebrows together. "What do you mean coffee? Camz always lets me get one of those hot chocolate drinks with all the whipped cream and the cute little marshmellows." I told her, as she put her head in her hands. "Lauren, those are for little kids." She told me, looking at me like I was some kind of freak. "I am a little kid...at heart." I said, laughing while she just stared at me. "Or not." I mumbled under my breath, as she ordered a plain coffee, and I got my hot chocolate, and a giant chocolate cookie to take home to Camila.

After about 10 minutes of small talk, Leanne seemed okay, at least, until she decided to ruin it.
"So why are you even so in love with Camila?" Leanne asked me, as my head shot up. "Whats that supposed to mean?" I demanded as she held her hands up in defense.

"All im saying is she's the schools fucking idiot, Lauren, and you're on the basketball team, therefore, hypothetically, you should be dating someone on the basketball team." She told me, as I stood up, getting ready to defend my girl.

"Okay, first of all, Leanne, Camila is not a fucking idiot, shes an amazing girl with a heart of gold, if anything, you're the fucking idiot for never getting to know her. Secondly, I love that girl with all my heart and soul. She means the absolute world to me. Shes beautiful, adorable, and sometimes an idiot, but thats okay, because shes my cute little idiot, and I love her. I cant wait until the day I put a ring on her finger and make her my wife.Thirdly, if you're hinting that I should date you, then you can go and screw yourself, because that is never going to happen. So if you want to continue saying anything bad about my fucking gorgeous girlfriend, go ahead, but dont hold me responsible when i fucking deck you on this fucking floor, right here, right now." I didnt realise I had shouted the whole thing, until I noticed people around us, videoing us and laughing at Leanne, who was trying to cover her face.

"Excuse me, you seem to be causing quite a commotion, im afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave." A worker politely said to me, as I appologised for causing a scene. I quickly shoved my things into my bag, and headed out to my car. Leanne can find her own way home, that bitch. I texted Camila letting her know I was on my way, before starting my car, and leaving Starbucks.
