Laurens p.o.v.

"Orange 15!" I shouted while driving down the sideline. It was Friday, 4 days after mine and Camilas argument, and she hasn't said a single word to me. Shes currently sitting in the stands right next to none other than Hailee and I cant help but be a little mad at that.

Passing the ball to Lucy I cut through the paint got the outside pass and made a corner three. 

Fuck her I thought to myself. She can do whatever she wants being over dramatic thinking I care. I thought to my self as we did our press break. Once the girl in-bounded the ball, I made an easy steal and put up a lay up. If she doesnt want us anymore, than why should I?

Laying off on the press, we just stuck to have court man so they had somewhat of a chance to still score. I'm not going to lie at this point, Camilas the only thing I can think about. I cant concentrate during school due to the fact that shes always on my mind. The only way I blow off steam is basketball.... So thats consumed majority of my time the past three days. I've tried talking to Camila, I've gone up to her during school only to have her slam her locker door in my face, I've tried texting and calling, I haven't even been able to talk to Normani, Ally, and Dinah.

Stealing the ball and driving down the sideline, I had a clear view of Lucy and threw it down the court for her to take a lay up just before the buzzard rang signaling half time. 

Walking into the locker room we were winning 45-15, slaughtering the titans.
"Well, I dont have much to tell you girls considering were kicking ass. Keep doing what you're doing I guess. Make sure to look down the court for the easy lay up, make sure you're boxing out and getting back on d. Thats it I suppose. Stay in here for the rest of half time and catch your breath." Coach Nicole said before grabbing her clipboard and walking out of the locker room.

"So whos going to Aarons party tonight?" Alexa asked while I took a sip of my gatorade. 

"Best believe I'm going." Lucy said while washing her hands. Hearing a few scattered yeahs and maybes.

"Laur?" Keana asked.. 

"I dont know, I thought about it." I said while shrugging my shoulders and leaning against my locker.

"Madisons going." Ariana said before winking in my direction.

"You're point is?" I questioned.

"Well I dont know, you and Camila are kind of rocky right now I guess you could say... why not go out and have a little fun with a pretty girl." Ariana stated while tying her shoelaces.

Feeling Dinah staring at me I felt small under her watch. "U-uh I dont know." 

"I heard Camilas going with Hailee." Lucy added..

Should've figured. "I care because?" I asked acting as though the new found information didnt bother me the slightest when in reality I felt a heart string pull.

"Why not? She wants to fuck around with some side ho-" 

"She can have other friends can she not?" Dinah cut Lucy off and I sensed Dinahs anger. 

"Yeah, so can Lauren. Even if its her ex-girlfriend." Lucy stated while staring at Dinah. "Its not like Lauren hasnt tried fixing things am I right? Shes tried to apologize even though she did nothing wrong but be nice to a friend." 

Just my luck the buzzard rang signaling half time was over, everyone threw their belongs back into their lockers but tension was still felt in the room.

"Drop it now. All of you." I said before jogging out of the locker room to hear the crowds cheering once again.
