Leave My Heart Out of This (camarry)

Chapter 5

Camila’s P.O.V.

After my first week, I was sure I had fallen in love with the school and boarding school life. The classes and the people on the other hand, I wasn’t so sure about. I spent most of my time with Lauren and we had become close, but I hadn’t made any other friends yet. Also, Zayn and Harry were horrible to us on a regular basis. Every time we saw them, we would get a glare an a rude comment from one of them and they would do things like “accidently” standing on our feet and pushing our books off our desks, and Zayn even spat at the ground by my foot once. Then of course there was the time Harry tripped me. We had had no clue why they hated us, so we just tried to steer clear of them as much as possible. At least Ella was being a lot nicer to us, she actually seemed really sweet.

“Hey girls, watcha doing?” Ella says as she bursts into the bedroom, once again without knocking.

“Twitter,” I reply.

“Tumblr,” says Lauren.

“Booorrrriinnggg…” Ella whines.

Sure enough, we are both sitting on our beds, happily typing away on our laptops. It’s Saturday afternoon, and we have some free time as our sports practice was in the morning. I had made the decision to do softball as my sport, as I had no clue what to choose and that’s what Lauren was picking. Problem was, she was experienced and actually really good at it, whereas I’d never played the sport in my life and am so uncoordinated.

“So, how about we do something fun tonight?” Ella says, interrupting my thoughts.

“Uhhh… like what?” Lauren says, and I’m sure she’s thinking the same thing as me: that Ella’s idea of fun is not going to be the same as ours.

“Well, every so often we do this thing called a sleep-in. It’s kind of like a mini-party in someone’s dorm room, except you stay there overnight. Actually, it’s not really a party, there will just be around eight or ten of us and there will be drinks and stuff. It’s gonna be in Zayn’s room tonight if you want to come.”

“I thought we weren’t allowed in their dorms at night?” I ask.

“That’s the point, idiot; as long as you don’t get caught it’s fine,” Ella says, rolling her eyes at me. Lauren laughs.

“Who else is going?” she says.

“Us three and two of my other friends, as well as a couple of guys I know. And Zayn and Harry will be there of course, as it is their room.”

Lauren and I exchange nervous glances at the mention of Harry and Zayn.

“Yeah, I’ll come,” she surprises me by saying.

They both look at me. The whole idea sounds fun, so I agree to go as well. Lauren smiles and Ella squeals in excitement.

“Great! We’ll go to the boy’s dorms at about midnight, after the staff can’t be bothered monitoring dorms anymore.”

“Okay,” Lauren and I say in unison.

“I’ll be back later with drinks and stuff for tonight. Seeya!” Ella says.

“Where are you going?” I ask.

“Dunno. Anywhere would be less boring than this dorm,” she replies with a laugh and walks out of the room, not bothering to close the door.

Once she has left, Lauren and I go back to looking at our laptop screens. I’m excited about tonight, even though Zayn and Harry will be there which worries me. Ella is nice though, and I’m sure she will make sure they aren’t too horrible to us. It’s going to be a great night.

Ella doesn’t come back until after dinner, which isn’t surprising. Lauren and I still haven’t accomplished anything all afternoon, which suits me just fine. Thankfully there wasn’t much homework from first week of classes.

“Did you get the drinks?” Lauren asks Ella.

“Yeah, I had to hide them in a bush though so we have to go get them when we leave. Zayn has some in his room as well.”

At about 10pm we start getting ready. I go into the bathroom and chuck my hair into a ponytail to keep it out of the way, and then start on my makeup. I put on a bit of foundation as my skin is terrible, then do some winged eyeliner and put on some mascara. I feel like that’s enough, so I put my makeup back in my drawer and plug in my straighter. After straightening my hair, I add a small bow and then go back out into the room so that the other girls can have a turn using the bathroom. I look through my closet and try to pick something to wear out of my limited options. I decide on a nice printed dress, it’s pretty casual which is good. I slip it over my head and take a look at myself in the full length mirror in our room. I’m happy with how the dress looks; it’s tight around the top and then goes into a skater-style skirt. There’s still over an hour until we have to go, so I switch on the lamp beside my bed, grab a book and lie down to read for a while.

Lauren comes back from the bathroom about half an hour later. She’s wearing a tight grey crop top and black skirt, and her make-up looks great, especially the red lipstick. Her hair is out but left natural, yet still looks good.

“Wow, you look baadddd,” I say with a smile. When she frowns at me I realise my choice of words wasn’t the best.

“No wait I meant bad like good like the expression! You look great, oh my god why do I speak,” I mentally slap myself.

Lauren laughs, “I was just kidding, thanks though. You look great yourself! I like the dress.”

We talk for a while until Ella comes back, she takes ages and it’s almost 12 when she returns. Luckily no one seems to be monitoring our floor tonight, otherwise they probably would have noticed us going back and forth from the bathroom. Ella is wearing a white lace crop top and black leather high waisted shorts. Her hair is curled and she has quite a lot of makeup on, but that seems pretty normal for her.

“Ready to go?” she asks as I slip on my white converse.

“Yep, all set. I say, standing up. After grabbing jackets we switch the light off and close the door to our room. I’m nervous yet excited for how tonight will turn out.
