The next day

Camila woke up the next morning to the smell of bacon,eggs,pancakes and grits. She walked downstairs to see her mom cooking.

Camila: good morning, mom
Mom: good morning, Camila. Here you go*hands Camila a plate of food*
Camila: thank you.
Mom: you're welcome. Do you want me to take you to school?
Camila: actually, I was wondering if I can take one of the cars, maybe the Benz?
Mom: oh,okay. Sure. Well you better go before you're late.
Camila: okay. I'll go get ready.

(Camila took a 45 minute shower,got out and put on her clothes. She's wearing light pink jeans with a light pink and white floral fitted crop top and pink and white Jordans with her hair straightened under a light pink beanie)

(When she finished, she grabbed the rest of her breakfast,put it in a to go plate,told her mom bye,then got in the car and drove to school. When she got there, Lauryn, Princeton, Bahja and Isaiah were waiting for her)

Camila: hey,guys.
Lauryn: heyy.
Bahja: hi.
Isaiah: hey,Camila.
Princeton: what's up, mila?
Lauryn: your mom finally let you drive the Benz?
Camila: yup.
Princeton: dang! This you? *pointing at the Benz*
Camila: yeah. Well,technically its my mom's but she let me use it.
Princeton: nice. Can we take it for a spin?
Camila: sorry, but no. School's about to start. Maybe later?

(They all had the same class so they walked into the classroom and sat in the back)

Lauryn: *makes a face of disgust and rolls her eyes* wow.
Camila: what?
Lauryn: *points to Tara trying to flirt with August* that.
Camila: *scoffs* girl,don't nobody care about them.
Lauryn: but how can she move on so quickly? she was all over Jacob a couple days ago.
Camila: *shrugs* once somebody with no home training, always somebody with no home training.
Lauryn: you tell em.*high fives with Camila*
Tara: *turns around and makes a face at them*
Lauryn: *yells so everyone can hear her* do we have a problem, Tara,honey!? No!? Didn't think so!!
Class: *murmurs*
Bahja: what was that all about?
Lauryn: that girl keep thinking she can talk about us or look at us sideways like she run things. Chic,bye. Miss me with that. She gon get what she ask for real quick. I don't have a problem with poppin her in her slick mouth right quick.
Camila: calm down. She's not anyone you should be wasting your breath and time on.
Lauryn: you right.
Camila: I know.
C,B,& L: *laugh*

Teacher: we have a new student. Daniel Simmons.(Diggy)
(Diggy walks in and smiles wide when he sees Camila. He gets settled then he walks to Camila, picks her up and spins her around)
Camila: oh my God. I didn't know you go here.
Diggy: I didn't know you went here too.
Camila: I missed you so much.
August: *looks at Camila and Diggy, then sadly turns back around*
Isaiah: aye,wassup,Diggy.*daps him*
Princeton: what's good? *daps him*
Diggy: wassup,girls?
Bahja: hey,Diggy.
Lauryn: hey,Diggy.
Diggy: hey.*hugs them*

August's P.O.V.
Since when are they so buddy-buddy with him? Ugh, I really don't like him.

End of P.O.V.

Tara's P.O.V.
So his name's Diggy. Hmm.... I'll take him. Just to make Camila mad. Since three bullets to the chest obviously didn't kill her,I'd have to get rid of her another way.

End of P.O.V.

Diggy: *texting Camila* wassup,beautiful?😉
Camila: diggy.I'm right here. You don't have to text me.
Diggy: fine,since you wanna take all the fun away.
Camila: you're too much.
Diggy: but, umm. There's this party.
Camila: mhmm. I'm listening.
Diggy: but the problem is that it's a bit of a... Um,how do I say this? College party.
Camila: *shocked and her jaw drops slightly* did you just say(gco)
Diggy: okay,hear me out. I know it's a college party and we're not in college (gco)
Camila: dang right, we're not.
Diggy: but... I got invited and I could bring anyone I want. And I want you, your girls and they dudes to come.
Camila: *sighs* I will think about it.
Diggy: that's all I need to hear. Thanks, babe. I knew you'd understand. *kisses her cheek*
Camila: did you just(gco)
August: that's it. *stands up and walks to Diggy* why you kissing up on my girl,man!?
Diggy: your girl? Last time I checked,she told me she was single.
Camila: oh my gosh.
August: well,she's my girl and I don't appreciate you kissing on her like she's yours!
Diggy: chill,man. Okay,back up.
August: nah,man. Don't tell me what to do! *pushes Diggy into the desks behind him*
Camila: August!! What is wrong with you!? Diggy,are you okay?
Princeton: you really shouldn't have done that.
August: man,get out of here with that. He shouldn't have been kissing my girl!
Diggy: *stands up and brushes himself off*
August: okay,you ready now. Come on,man. Let's go! I'll jack you up!
Camila: august, stop.
Diggy: nah, he's good. I'll just leave him by himself. *sits down and takes out his phone*
August: so that's it? You gon sit down and be a punk? Camila, you dating a punk?
Camila: one,I'm not dating anyone. And two,why can't you just leave him alone!?
August: you used to defend me like that.
Camila: well,that was before you cheated on me. *to the teacher* can I leave? *walks out once she gets permission*
Lauryn: miss? *referring to the teacher*
Teacher: *sighs and rolls her eyes* go ahead.
Lauryn: thanks.*grabs Bahja and walks out* ughhh,where is she? *keeps walking until she hears sniffling from the janitor's closet and opens it and sees Camila on the floor hugging her knees*
Bahja: there you are. Are you okay?
Camila: what is his problem? I didn't do anything to him. Neither did Diggy. He just thinks he can fight anyone for no reason. It's not fair to me nor is it fair to Diggy. I'm not with him anymore, I've moved on. Why can't he accept that!? *puts her head in her knees and screams in frustration but it's muffled*
Bahja: it's okay.
Lauryn: boy, am I happy Diggy decided not to fight August. Because that would have been bad. But one day, August will get what he deserves.
Bahja: yeah. We don't have time to stress over boys.
Camila: *lifts her head up* you guys are right. Thanks.
Lauryn: that's what friends are for.
(They all hug and go back to the classroom)
Tara: awww. The crybaby finally put on her big girl pants. Congrats! What's the next level in your life changing career?
Camila: *in her mind* beating your ahh. (But instead she sits back down beside her friends and Diggy.)
