Green Is The Warmest Color

XI.

Camila's POV 

There is a time that I really want to disappear from this world. Take me away; I would say to the world and in just a blink of an eye, I'd disappear into a world that only exists in my dreams. I'm overreacting of course but I can't show her what I do feel right now when she's inside our dorm room and typing words I don't even know using my laptop.

Why did I even suggest her to use my laptop and I use Dinah's instead? We remain working on our paper in silence. She never dares to talk and so I don't talk to her too. It's like my pride is eating my whole entirety and she just doesn't care. We are not even friends. Maybe that night we became friends, it was a just one night and it will never happen again.

I look at her and she seems at peace while working. I replay her words a while ago in my head. "You have to play with me back." What does she even mean by that exactly? It's like she admitted that she's messing with my head and that's the kind people should avoid. But here she is, inside our dorm room as if we're close friends. I suddenly remember that night when she said she has a girlfriend and I wonder why she's not with her.

"Hey Lauren." I blurt out. She seems to not notice me and keeps on typing words. I fake my cough and speak louder. "H-hey Lauren."

The sound of the typing stops and I know she's already looking at me. I fake my smile at her and her look is like questioning me on why I'm talking to her. When I still don't say something, she does. "What is it?"

"I'm sorry to bring this up but you told me the other night that you have a girlfriend, right?" She seems not bothered and calm about it. "I'm just wondering why I never see you with her. That's just all. I mean really." She still doesn't answer my question so I just laugh it out and tell her. "I don't even know why I brought this up. I'm sorry if you guys already broke up I mean I didn't know. Okay I'll stop."

To my surprise, Lauren laughs. It is odd that I find her laugh amusing and infectious although I stop myself from laughing with her. I can't be comfortable with her. She's not Lauren the other night; maybe it was the alcohol consuming her that's why she was different that night, but who knows? Maybe she was really just pretending like what I thought.

"We kind of had complicated moments but we're still okay. I'm still with her." She's still staring at me; once again those green eyes corrupting my soul just like how it corrupted my soul that night. "And I'm grateful for that."

I nod. "That's good I mean you love each other right?" She seems surprised at my question as she puts down my laptop and actually looks at me like I just said something so bad. "W-what? Why are y-you looking at me like that?"

"Hmmm... I'm just wondering why are you suddenly interested in my love life?" This time I'm the one who laughs so hard like my life depended on it. I don't stop laughing until I notice she remains silent and unfazed.

I also put down Dinah's laptop on top of my bed. "Okay. To clear things out, I'm not interested in your love life or anything about your life or specifically your life at all."

"Doesn't seem like it." She comments on what I said.

I try to remain calm and not get annoyed by her in which she's seemingly good at. "I'm not interested. I am just wondering because that's what you said."

She smiles. "Now you're reminiscing our first night? Cute." I tease.

Okay this is almost it. Don't let her ruin your day, Camila. You're better than this. "You're really good at annoying people you know? Does this university have that course here? I'd like to take it."

"I think you're getting it all wrong. I don't annoy you." She stops and smirks before she continues her statement. "I try my best every day that whenever I'm with you, it will be the best day of your life. That's what I planned all along."
