Why we were chosen.

Chapter 16

*By far, my favorite chapter. 😏😉*

Lauren's POV

"Au revoir Lauren!" My french teacher yelled out to me before I reached the door. I turned around to face her and gave her a fake smile.

"Bonjour!" I said back. When I was about to walk out she stopped me.

"Lauren, Bonjour means hello not goodbye. It's almost the end of the year and you still can't get that word right." She shook her head at me. 

"Oh." I looked down in embarassment.

"You should have Camila tutor you again. You were doing so well when she was helping you." She suggested.

"Yeah, i'll ask her if she can. Goodbye." I quickly walked out of class and started walking down the hallway, towards the locker room. I really didn't want to stay behind and talk to my french teacher about Camila. Especially not after she caught Camila saying some romantic french poems to me when we were supposed to be taking notes. Ever since then she has always been giving Camila worksheets with love quotes in case she ever wanted to randomly serenade me.

  I rolled my eyes at the thought and entered the locker room before I got dressed for the softball game, which is to start in an hour. I knew the others were just entering the locker room because of the loud screams and laughter. They sure know how to make an entrance. Sure enough the girls joined me and were getting ready for the game, all except for Camila. She wasn't with them. I furrowed my brows but decided to get ready instead of questioning her since she was probably just late.

"Do any of you know where Camila is?" I questioned as I pulled my cleats on. All of us were nearly done and it had been fifteen minutes since I first arrived at the locker room. Camila is never late, let alone by fifteen minutes. Then again, it was because we always walked to the field together after sixth period.

"Nah. She should be here soon. Who knows where she would have gone? She probably went to the beach." Alyssa said as she scrolled down her phone since she was already finished. "Maybe that's why she's late. She is probably stuck in traffic."

"Yeah, but she wouldn't go to the beach alone. Especially since she knows what is going on." I argued.

"Well she probably went to one of the guys' place to hang out with them. Maybe with Zayn since he has today off." Normani gave me a reassuring smile. I nodded my head but I wasn't convinced.

"Can you ask Zayn if she was with him?" I questioned.

"Laur, stop worrying. I'm sure Mils is fine." Amy gave me a smile while she combed through Becky's hair.

"Yeah. just calm down before you give yourself a headache." Becky said as she closed her eyes and released a sigh. "Because you're giving me one."

"Okay, that's it." Olivia stood up from the bench and leaned against the locker while squinting her eyes at the two girls. "Both of you have boyfriends right?"

"Duh." Amy replied while Becky just nodded.

"Then why have you two suddenly been acting as if you two are seeing one another?" Olivia crossed her arm. "I mean, you are being so lovey dovey right now."

"Don't be silly Olive. These two were always like this. Besides they both have boyfriends that they love." Becky opened her eyes quickly before giving Normani a questioning look. "Don't even try to deny it Becky. It's obvious you love Austin and Amy loves Niall." Normani waved off Olivia's accusations.

"I never said I loved Austin." Becky said in a low voice. "I just like him."

"Girl, you don't need to say it in order for us to know that you do. Besides, he's your boyfriend." Normani said with a chuckle.
