The Secret Love Of Camren

Chapter 3

The rest of the day seemed to drag on. Until lunch for some weird reason Lauren couldn't wait to see Camila again. Lunch came around and the girls sat at their usual table. Just as Lauren began to bite into her sandwich she spotted Camila. She quickly sat her food down and rushed over to where Camila was frantically searching for somewhere to sit. Lauren remembered how embarrassing it was when no one would let you sit with him or her.
            "Hey Camila," Lauren said.
            "Hi," She responded shyly realizing someone noticed how red her cheeks had begun to get.
            "You know if you want you can come and sit with my friends and me." Lauren offered.
            "I don't know. I mean I don't know them. And I'm not quite sure I would be that good of company."
            "You're joking right?" Lauren asked. "I'm sure they won't mind. Plus you seem interesting i'd love to learn your story. Come on. We won't bite I mean Dinah and I won't but I don't know about Normani she forgot her lunch at home and she's looking a bit hungry" Lauren whispered as if she was sharing some big secret. Camila laughed but still seemed hesitant.
            "If we turn out to be too weird then you can leave. I promise" Lauren said with a warm smile.
            "Alright. Thanks for offering. Where are you guys sitting?" Camila asked.
            "Over there." Lauren responded pointing to the other girls. "So that's a yes you'll sit with us."
            "Yeah of course. Thanks again"
            "No problem," Lauren said turning to walk towards the table. Camila went to sit with the girls and they fell into an easy conversation. They learned that Camila moved to Colorado from Miami for her dad's job. She was very shy and seemed blocked off from making a connection with anyone.
