you keep robbing my heart like a bank ~camren~

7.

Camila: hey lauren do u need a ride to the mall?

Lauren: No that's okay! Ally is driving us there. We're meeting at 4 right?

Camila: yes ma'am :) see u then

Before Camila can do anything else, a heavy weight drops on top of her back.

"You're so heavy. Get off of me, DJ." Camila's groan is muffled as her face gets pushed into the bedspread.

"Yeah, Dinah," Normani chimes in from where she's spinning in her desk chair. "You don't want to kill Mila before she has a chance to declare her undying love for Lauren."

"Oh yeah, of course not!" Dinah agrees loudly in Camila's ear but makes no move to get off of her.

Camila blindly tosses a pillow at Normani but of course completely misses the girl. After some struggling, she's finally able to roll out from underneath Dinah and Camila sits up as she throws a glare at Normani. "I'm not in love with Lauren."

"I don't know. I mean, when you're into someone for three years, I don't think that can be called a crush anymore," Normani argues.

"More like an obsession," Dinah pitches in, dodging the pillow Camila lobs at her.

"Shut up you assholes. Don't go throwing the L word around. I just really like her, okay?"

Normani pouts sympathetically at the girl, finally pausing her swiveling. "You're right. But are you every going to actually do something about it?"

"I'm trying," Camila groans, flinging herself backwards onto the lone remaining pillow and rubbing at her eyes with the heels of her hands. "This shit is hard."

"Well you better do something soon, before Zayn makes a move. Lauren likes his attention, you can tell," Dinah says, lying down next to Camila.

"Mila," Normani begins. "You should really tell him that you like Lauren. You know what he's like. He'll back off because he cares about you."

Glancing at Normani with tired eyes, Camila ponders over the girl's words. 

Why hasn't she told Zayn yet? Camila knows that if she admitted her crush on Lauren to him, he would respect it and stop making advances. He's one of her closest friends. Hell, the guy would get involved in fights that he had nothing to do with just so that Camila wouldn't have to deal with them alone. He's one of Camila's closest friends and would never make a move on someone she likes.

"You're right. I should tell him."

"Fuck yeah I'm right, I'm always right."

"No, not really," Dinah comments from where she's examining her nails.

Normani throws a dirty look at Dinah that the girl completely misses. "I don't recall asking you, ho."

"You didn't have to."

"Mila," Normani whines from her seat. "Smack Dinah for me."

Camila rolls over away from the two, unlocking her phone and tapping on an app. "No. I'm busy. I need to beat my high score in Flippy Bottle."

All of a sudden, a shadow looms over Camila and she gazes up to see Normani's face haloed by her dark hair. "I bet that if Lauren asked, you would have done it right away."

Camila feels movement behind her as Dinah sits up to join in on the teasing. "I bet you would do anything for Lauren."

"Anything she wanted." Normani draws out her words, a smirk on her face at Camila's narrowed eyes.
