Her POINT OF VIEW

Lauren has driven me to school today. My mom has scolded me for having only a banana as breakfast. Banana is enough for me though.

As soon as we have gotten in school, everyone make their way aside to let Lauren walk pass by. It's like they hail Lauren or something. And of course, I, the little nerdy one get to receive insults early in the morning. I'm used to stuffs like that since middle school.

Lauren was a campus queen while I was a bullied freak. But Lauren didn't let that as a hindrance to our friendship. Instead she keeps on insisting me to put on make up and be like her, but I'm not into those stuffs Lauren wears and uses. I'm just not her level.

We've met each other during our mother's times. My mom, Sinuhe and her mom, Clara had met each other back in Cuba. That's when the time where they were friends and until they had us.

"Medieval literature is my first subject today and you got Dance class." Lauren pouts. We don't get to spend much time because we have different classes most of the time and during our break (lunch or snack) Lauren has to do stuff and so do I.

"Well I am hoping to have a same class with you soon. See you later." She bids me goodbye and I do too.

I open my locker, staring at my priced possession, my journal where I write all of my stuff in it. It concludes my secrets and everyday life.

I shut it then walk to my designated class room.

His POINT OF VIEW

I saw Lauren this morning and she was always beautiful. She makes my day.

"Hey Cal."

Michael snaps me out my daydream about Lauren.

"Who's the girl?"

My gals always know what I am thinking.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I say, trying to act chill.

"We all know you're hooked with a girl, Calum. Don't deny it." Ashton's always right.

I just shrug my shoulders and stare blankly at my phone wallpaper. Lauren.

"Fine," I sigh. "It's Lauren."

They've exchange looks before Michael says something. "Woah, you mean that Jauregui chick?" He knows her because they had a few same classes with her on our sophomore year.

"Yes."

They were just there, laughing and giving high fives with each other.

"What's the plan then?"

I was confuse of what Michael have said.

"What 'what's the plan?' ?"

"I mean, you plan of dating her and ditch her right away?" That's what we do. But I simply can't do that to Lauren. I mean, look, she's an angel.

"I can't do that."

"You what?" Then they laugh their ass off.

"That's the campus queen we're talking about. And once you get her and make her fall in love with you and dump her, that chick will no longer be popular."

I admit, we've been bad guys. Michael has had fifteen girlfriends this past month. The others too.

We play football and we're a varsity and that makes us popular too.

"You see that freak nerd over there! If can make her fall for you, so does Lauren. Besides, all girls are almost the same, right?"

An idea just got into my mind!

"You're right, Ashton!" I say, jumping out of my seat.

"What?"

"You know Lauren's friend? Uh, her name's Calissa or Claire or whatever that freak's name is. I need to befriend her!"

Luke scoffs. "For what? For Lauren?"

"Of course! The only way I can get to her is friend!"

Ashton interrupts, "By the way, her name's Camila."

"Bah. I don't care. I'll make my move. See you later dudes."

Her POINT OF VIEW

It was now our dance class and our professor has told us to pair up but nobody seems to pair with me.

"For those who doesn't have a pair, please raise your hand!"

Geez, I was the only who doesn't have a partner. So I slowly raise my hand in an awkward manner.

"What's your name?"

"Camila. Camila Cabello."

The professor crosses her arms. "You're all an even number of students. Why you don't have a partner?"

"Does anyone wants to double pair with miss Cabello?"

Everyone fall silent. I lower my head, I was embarrassed.

"Me! I will volunteer to partner with miss Cabello!"

I turn to see who it was. It was him. His voice was clearly serious and in second thought, I never doubted it wasn't him.
