<Camila's P.O.V>
Before the clock set the alarm, I woke up and unplugged it. I opened the blinds and took in the beauty of our backyard. I brushed my teeth and shook my hair back and forth before getting the right amount of volume. I slipped on a blue dress, black tights, and white vans. I grabbed my violet bow and put it in my hair. I posed in the mirror for three minutes and then went downstairs to eat toast and eggs.
After gobbling it all down, I grabbed my black and white polka dot backpack and headed straight for the shiny, red convertible. I started the car and turned on the radio. One Dance was playing and I couldn't help but do a little dance. As I finally parked my car in the parking lot, I got out and joined my friends. Ally tried helping Dinah stay awake while me and Normani discussed about rumors in school. We entered the school and got everyone's attention as we walked to our lockers. I opened my locker to get my textbooks when I saw Lauren walking my way. What does she want now?

I was about to say something when she opened her locker. Guess she didn't come for me. I shrugged the thought off and headed to class.

After all three classes, it was time for lunch. As usual, I sat with Normani, Ally, and Dinah. I was just chatting away with Dinah when she stopped talking to look at something, or someone. I turned my head to see what she was looking at and I saw Lauren. I immediately turned my head back to Dinah.

"She doesn't know where to sit, Camila," Dinah told me. "Maybe you should invite her over here." I responded with a "no" and started talking about the stress of all my homework.

"Don't change the topic, Camila." Dinah just won't quit. I know for a fact if I didn't go invite Lauren over here, she would. So I decided to do it. I murmured a "fine" and walked over to Lauren.

"Hey, uh, would you... Want to come sit with us for lunch?" I asked Lauren. I looked at her and saw her eyes glisten.

"Oh, thanks! Sure, I will." She replied. I would've scoffed but I saw how happy she was and I just.. I guess I'm okay with her sitting at our table.

Me and Lauren headed back to the table. Immediately, everyone started talking to Lauren. I might've had a conversation or two with her, too. However, out of no where, Ally invited Lauren to the beach party that was happening this Saturday. What's even worse is that Lauren said "yes" to Ally. The rest of the lunchtime I glared at Ally.
When the bell finally rang, I stood up and put my tray on the metal table. I ran to my gym locker and got dressed in my gym clothes. I turned my heat to the right and saw Lauren getting dressed, too. I felt a blush creep on my cheeks as I swiftly turned my head away. I went into the gym and waited on the red line with other people. I heard a door open and shut. Lauren walked to the red line and stood next to me. I hope she wasn't looking at me because I was still blushing.

"What are you all standing there for! Get a move on! 20 laps, go!" My coach, Mr. Hall, screeched. Without thinking twice, I ran across the room and back.

After the 20 laps, I drank water from my water bottle. I saw Lauren and realized she didn't have a water bottle. Gosh, how stupid is she? I sighed and walked over to her.

"Hey, I notice you don't have anything to drink," I said not looking at her. I turned my head towards her and gave her two dollars. "So, here." She looked at me and then the money.

"Thank you so much! Don't worry, I'll repay you!" And with that, she ran off to the vending machine and got her some water. To be specific, she got strawberry flavored water. You know, she's too bright. It's like she's a sun trying to make my day better with her bright personality. It's annoying in a way.

Yet her bright personality makes her so adorable..

Wait, what? Did I seriously just think that? There's no way she's cute.. She's annoying! I glared at the back of her head.

"Okay, so, today's sport is... Dodgeball!" The coach screeched again. We all groaned in response. I still can't believe they let us play that after 10 people went to the nurse due to the game. He made us get in a line again as he picked who was on the blue team and who was on the red team. He threw a red jersey at me and Lauren. Plus a few others. When we got into positions, Lauren gave me a smile and waved her hand at me. I ignored her.

As soon as the buzz went off, I grabbed a ball and threw it to the other side, trying to target some tall boy. To my disappointment, he dodged it easily. I glanced at Lauren who was knocking out people one by one. Boy, could you imagine my surprise. She's as strong as a bear. I was about to try to target someone else when I saw Kaitlyn Gomez aiming for Lauren. Kaitlyn was the one who knocked out six students so bad they had to go to the nurse. So, without another a thought, I jumped in front of Lauren and felt a pang on my head. I have no idea what was in that ball but it caused me to fall.

<Lauren's P.O.V.>
I was about to knock someone else out when someone jumped in front of me. I saw them get hit with the ball and caught them before they fell to the ground. I looked at their face and to my surprise, it was Camila. She slowly opened her eyes and then realized the situation. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at us. I helped Camila up and she thanked me. People started coming over, including the coach, and asked if Camila was ok. She nodded her head at all of them. The coach had Camila sit out on the bench while he got an ice pack.
I quickly glanced at Camila and saw she had a bruise. I cringed. Who on earth would throw a ball that hard. Of course, that's when I realize Kaitlyn wasn't with the people who were making sure Camila was ok. I know it's just a game, but I couldn't help myself from targeting Kaitlyn for revenge. Call me childish, but I just made a friend and she protected me. Of course I'm gonna get revenge.
I grab a ball and I aim it at Kaitlyn, throwing it and knocking it out. Sure, she didn't get a nasty bruise, but she still had to sit out. I saw Camila smile a little and I grinned to myself. After ten minutes, we, the red team, ended up winning.

After doing some more running and push-ups, we went back in the gym and changed in our regular clothes. I was about to exit when I heard someone say "thanks". Camila stood next to me and asked, "Hey, Lauren, do you mind if we walk together to chemistry? You know, since we're both going to that class right now?"

And of course I said yes.

<Author's Note>

Heyyyyyyyyyy

This is my first book so it may be cliche and all, but I hope you enjoy it anyhow! I'm trying my best to make it 10 pages long so the chapters won't be too short. If you have any ideas or anything, please tell me. I'll credit you for the idea or something if I use it. Anyhow, I must go now and make another chapter! Bye!
