Friday, August 22nd 5:45am
I did my workouts, did my morning routine and made myself breakfast. I had just put my smoothie into my smoothie bottle, when my phone buzzed.

Ash🏀🔥🎶🔰
[7:15am]
Good morning gorg. Meet me @ the school in 15. I need you to help me put up some flyers!

Me
[7:16am]
Morning & why me? Why didn't you ask Calum to help you? & flyers for what?

Ash🏀🔥🎶🔰
[7:17am]
Bc I knew you'd be up unlike Calum who is still knocked out. & we'll talk about it when you get here just please come!

Me
[7:18am]
Fine, alright. I'm coming.

Ash🏀🔥🎶🔰
[7:18am]
Yes! Thanks, I love you Laur! See you in 12.

Me
[7:18am]
Yeah whatever, Love you.

I grabbed my backpack and headed to the school, I got there at 7:27am and Ashton wasn't here yet, so I sat in the hallway waiting for him. He arrived right on time even though it felt like it took a lot longer. He helped me up, "Thanks for coming again Laur." "Yeah no problem now do you mind telling me what these flyers are for?" He didn't say anything he just handed me one.

"Sweet, I can't wait! But why did no one tell me?" I ask a little upset about not knowing we had. Concert already lined up. "Calum was supposed to tell you apparently he failed at that. Whatever though, lets hurry up and get these things up. I've already puts some throughout town this morning."
--
We were putting up the flyers throughout the school in silence until Ashton spoke up "Oh by the way I know you've already forgiven us but sorry for pissing you off before your game yesterday." "It's fine Ash, I'm used to you guys being annoying most times." "I know but we just think you guys would be cute together and yes I know she's a teacher but she's not that much older than us." I couldn't help but smile at him "Yeah well I have a boyfriend, she's our teacher and not to mention I'm straight, you know in case you forgot?" He gave me a knowing look before he furrowed his eyebrows "I don't know if you know this but I'm not really a fan of Josh. I mean I don't have anything against him, we get along, and I support your relationship but there is something about him, I don't think he's right for you.." I didn't really know how to respond, honestly I was a little shocked because this is the first I've heard of this. He's like my big brother though and he's really protective of me, Anne and Calum, we're like a literal family. Maybe he senses something I don't but Josh has been nothing but sweet, faithful and supportive of me, so for now I'm going by that. "Look Laur, I don't mean to upset you or anything. I just wanted you to know, you know you're like a sister to-" "No Ash, I'm not mad. I understand really, thanks for always looking out for me." I cut him off and playfully punch him in the arm, he faked like I hurt him "Stop being a baby" I laughed at him and joined in with me.
--
Literally ten minutes after school started at exactly 9:05am my phone was buzzing off the hook with notifications from Twitter, my only assumption as to why is because people saw the flyers and are either requesting songs or gushing about their excitement for the concert. The bad part about it is, it's going to be like this for the remainder of this week and all next week. I put my phone on do not disturb and pushed into my pocket.
--
Every class change, Calum, Ashton and I were being stopped in the hallway for pictures and a few autographs. My teachers even had 'The Wanting concert August 30th @ 10pm @ The Stage' written on their boards and it made me smile know that we have so much support in the school.
--
Lunch came and it went on like it had been, autographs, pictures, questions. Calum and Anne had a table set up for people to buy tickets to the show.
--
Third period rolled around and Ms. Cabello was already sitting in her chair waiting for us. The first thing I did when I sat in my chair was look at the board at the right hand corner and it read 'Soccer' I smiled knowing she got it right. "Miss Jauregui do you mind passing back some papers for me please." I nodded and made it up to her desk. "I texted you this morning but you didn't answer." That's when I realized I hadn't touched my phone since I put it on do not disturb this morning. I pulled it out and placed it on her desk, she raised an eyebrow at me not knowing what that was supposed to mean. I pushed the home button and scroll down my lock screen, her eyebrows immediately shoot up and her eyes slightly widen. "That's why. I put it on do not disturb because it was going off like crazy. I'll put you on my favorites list so you can get through, honestly I forgot to put anybody on there I just know it was getting on my nerves vibrating." I smiled at her before passing back graded work. Josh has probably texted me like fifty times, he's probably mad. Come to think of it I haven't seen him all day.. I sat in my chair when I finished and checked my messages surprisingly the only message I had was from Ms. Cabello.

Hey, morning. So I see you guys are having a concert August 30th I bet you're excited huh? It's all I heard 1st period, I don't expect any other to be any different.

Me
[12:59pm]
Lol yeah it probably won't & yeah pretty excited. Congrats on the free entry btw. See you there?

Camila😮👀
[1:00pm]
Wait so that means I guessed the right sport? & yeah I'll definitely be there. It'll be my 1st 'The Wanting' concert so make it good.

Me
[1:01pm]
Lol yeah you did, good job & they usually suck, so idk maybe this one will be different 😳😒

Camila😮👀
[1:02pm]
Someone has some sarcasm of their own. Funny lol. In all seriousness though, you'll be great.

Me
[1:02pm]
Lol thanks! Well I'm gonna let you teach class..

Camila😮👀
[1:03pm]
Eww no 😷🙄lol if I must. Go learn something geez!

It sucks that she's my teacher, we'd be great friends. She's really cool. My thoughts were cut short by Ms. Cabello's raspy voice. "Alright guys I'm not really in the mood to stand up here and talk and I'm guessing most of you are not really in the mood to listen. So I'm going to make this easy, pages 331 through 345. I want you to do the vocab and the five questions to go with it, then you're done."

No POV

Camila's real reason for not wanting to stand in front of the class was because she wanted to text Lauren. So after she gave them their assignment on the1920's she sat back down and grabbed her phone.

Camila😮👀
[1:10pm]
Ahh teaching complete phew!! 👏💦I think I broke an actual sweat!

Goddess 😍💕🙈
[1:11pm]
Lol omg, that was the best teaching I've ever received & I can see why you broke a sweat. That was hardcore right there! 🙄😂💯

Camila😮👀
[1:12pm]
Thank you, thank you. Teacher of the year award worthy lol.

Goddess 😍💕🙈
[1:12pm]
Haha yeah totally enjoy that.

Camila didn't know what else to say but all she knows is that she wants to talk to Lauren. She was hoping that by texting Lauren, she would see that she wasn't everything she seemed to be but it was just her luck that so far she was and she found herself developing actual feelings for her. She mentally face palmed when she realized her plan just made things worse for her, not that she minded but she knew that wasn't true for the school system. Camila knew that she could keep their relationship under wraps only thing is, they didn't have a relationship. They had a two day friendship? Acquaintance-ship? She has no idea, all she knows is she enjoys texting and talking to Lauren. She knows she has a boyfriend so she figures she doesn't really have a chance with her anyway.

Lauren on the other hand thought Camila was a super cool, young teacher that she considers a friend? She guesses Camila thinks the same thing considering she's the one who wanted to text her anyway. She was cool, funny, and easy on the eyes. She hadn't thought about her in any other aspect, she just knows she enjoys texting her. Plus she kind of likes the fact that she has a secret friendship with a teacher, she liked the danger.

The boys didn't mess with Lauren about Ms. Cabello today but noticed Lauren smiling into her phone and paying them no attention but because Lauren said it was a friend from camp they didn't think much of it. Camila and Lauren continued to text throughout the day, which Lauren didn't mind. It's not like Josh was texting her, which by the way she was going to find out why later. The two girls talked about anything as long as it kept the conversation going. It went on like this all day until they both fell asleep.
