First Day

"Hey!" Normani greeted the brunette as she sat at their table for lunch.

Lauren

God. Camila's right there just talk to her! Ughhhhhhh, how pathetic am I.... you don't fucking like someone from frickin' sixth grade and not talk to them. But she's so cute—OH MY GOD!
Did she just look at me...!? God, she'll never talk to me. She's way outta my league....I don't even fucking know if she's gay! Ughhhhhhhhh...

"Hey! Earth to Lauren!" Mani appeared out of nowhere snapping her fingers in my face.

"Oh........Hey Mani......" I replied a little flustered not knowing the taller girl was there all this time.

"You know you could just go talk to her."

"Me? Talk to her? The hottest, most popular girl in school!"

"Um, Lauren........I think those hormones are getting to your head......I think that's exactly what I said," Normani laughed at her best friend. "It's not like it's gonna kill you or something. Just give it a shot."

"You and I both know I've tried, but every time I go up to talk to her, I choke on my words and act like a idiot standing there blushing like I just watched a sex scene in a movie with my parents! Like, what the fuck can I do to not be such an idiot?"

"Hmmm let's see," she said, pausing to think. "Maybe we can raise your IQ by a hundred and make you stop thinking that you're gonna go propose to her."

"Ugh, fuck off...and at least my IQ's better then some people's. Ahem, Mani, ahem."

"Ugh, shut up," the taller girl nudged the brunette.

After lunch, we had homeroom and to my luxury, I sat right behind Camila. During class I caught myself staring at her multiple times and not even listening to all the things Mr. Jacobs said in English. I barely caught his words while staring at how her brown locks flowed over her shoulders.

"Today, I want you to get into groups and get to know each other. Considering it's the first day and your partner will remain throughout the entire year, I would like for you to get to know your partner before any assignments."

Before he finished, everyone paired up with one another. Leaving me, as usual, as the last pick. I looked around, but I saw only Camila without a partner.

Oh shit.....

"Hey I guess we're partners" Camila said in her hot, raspy voice and smiled.

I smiled back stupidly and was filled with butterflies, "I guess we are."

"So what's your name?" Camila sat in the seat next to me and leaned in as to keep from having to talk to loud over the classroom ruckus.

"My name's Lauren. Lauren Jauregui."

"My name's Cam—" before she could finish I jumped in.

"Camila Cabello...I know," I laughed.

"Took the fun outta' intros,"she pouted in an adorable way that made me want to hug her and never let her go.

"It helps that I've been going to the same school as you since we were like three."

She looked confused and I internally cursed at myself for not just playing it cool and pretending I never knew her.

"Wait, we were both at the same school every year of our life and I don't know you?!" She practically screamed.

"Yeah...afraid so.."

"Well, I don't know how I didn't notice someone so beautiful," she smirked upon saying that.

I sat there blushing like a idiot like usual.

"So, um, this is English...so what's your favorite book?" Camila tried to get rid of the silence that broke between us.

"I love To Kill a Mockingbird."

"No way! I'm reading that right now!" Camila replied excitedly.

"Well, it's a great book. I'm sure you'll fall in love with it. I sure did."

"Why's it your favorite book?"

"I just like how it isn't just a love story. It's more of a 'coming of age' story and it's just so real...I love it. Anyway, enough about me. What's your favorite?"

"Well, I really like The Book Thief. It's so beautifully written in the perspective of death, which I find amazing."

"That sounds so dope," I smiled as the conversation started to ease between us.

We continued talking easily and ever so often she'd laugh and it would make butterflies swarm into my body and I could help but smile throughout the entire conversation.

"Man, class is almost over...I had fun today, Lauren. Can I get your number so I can hang 'round sometime?" Camila asked so uncertainly it was almost like she was scared.

I smiled "Sure. Here, put your number in my phone."

We exchanged phones and our hands brushed a bit and sent more butterflies all through me. After a few seconds we returned each others respective phones just in time for Mr. Jacobs to get up to address the class.

"Okay, class. In two weeks time I want you to write an essay about a topic in which your partner and you are both deeply interested in. This assignment is going to be on whatever topic you like as long as it is school appropriate. Anyway class, that's all, you're dismissed. Have a good rest of your day."

I got up and swung my bag over my shoulder, and for the first time ever, I felt a little surge of bravery with this conversation with Camila.

"Hey, do you wanna...maybe hang out after school?"

"Sure I'd actually really like that," she smiled and it set my heart on fire.

"Great. I'll pick you up at five and we'll go to my house."

"Cool. See you at five," she winked at me. I couldn't help but smile at how obviously adorable she was.

"See you at five," I echoed her as we split to go to our respective classes.

Holy shit. I just talked to Camila and got her to come to my house. God, today is perfect...I don't know if it can get better.

I thought to myself as I sat in my seat for the last class of the day.

"Hey," I said to Mani happily.

"Someone looks really happy....Spill!" Mani said mockingly as if she knew why I was happy.

"So I proposed to Camila," I said trying to keep a straight face.

"Haha, very funny...you haven't even talked to the girl."

"Not until today."

"Wait, what!? I need a rundown right now."

I told Mani the events that took place prior to entering English with her in Mr. Jacobs class, and she looked like she'd burst with happiness.

"Awww...my wittle Lauwen is all gwown up....she got herself a date and I didn't even have to threaten her Nutella stash in her kitchen," she laughed and I nudged her shoulder.

"It's not a date....I mean we're just friends...nothing more. C'mon, I just talked to her for the first time and she's probably not even gay."

Mani continued smirking at me throughout class and I knew I'd get back at her hard for this.
