Something Great (Zauren)

Chapter 8 - Would He Say He's In L-O-V-E?

A small smile crept onto my face but I quickly wiped it off.

"Fine. But just one date, Malik. Just one."

"You got it, Jauregui. And I'll make sure it's gonna be the best one you'll ever have." He said. The bell rang indicating that class will begin in 5 minutes, even though all we've been doing in class is goof around since the teachers are busy grading papers.

Zayn stepped to the side to give me way. 

I said a quick goodbye and walked to my next class. Once I turned around the corner, I leaned against the wall and sighed. The small smile earlier came back, except this time it was bigger than a "small smile."

After school, I headed straight to my dorm. I didn't feel like hanging around the school campus today. And plus, I really needed to talk to someone. When I got inside my dorm, Camila wasn't there, like I thought. I haven't seen her since this morning. She wasn't in any of the classes we had together today and I had to skip lunch because the teachers wanted to talk to me. 

It was nothing bad. They were just saying that they were impressed with my grades and are excited to have me next schoolyear. I also heard that my other siblings did good, too. 

I put down my things and pulled out my phone. 

To: Camz

Where are you? Come to our dorm. I need you ASAP. 

Only a few minutes passed until I heard the door open. "Someone needs the awesome, Camila Cabello?" 

"Karla Camila Cabello." I corrected which made her roll her eyes. She closed the door and put down her stuff. "Where have you been? I haven't seen you all day."

Camila groaned. "Don't get me started with my day. I was just giving a goodbye/see you later kiss to Harry when a teacher saw us. I forgot who it was but he started talking about PDA and all and he said he was going to tell the principal. So he did and Mr.Williams wasn't that mad. I'm pretty sure he rolled his eyes when that teacher was telling him about how we shouldn't be showing much PDA around school. So, Mr.Williams told us to do community service as our 'punishment'." She said while making imaginary quotation marks.

"What did you have to do?"

"Harry had to help the yearbook committee while I had to help some seniors set up for their graduation ceremony next week."

I nodded. Camila sighed. "Well, enough talking about me. How was your day?"

"Well," I smiled. "It was pretty good actually. I ... sort of ... got asked out toda-"

"No!" Camila stood up and sat next to me. "Who? When did he ask? Where are you two going? Do I know him?"

I grinned but then slowly frowned. I should've thought about this. What if Camila won't want me to go on a date with Zayn because of how she thought about him in the past? Or what if we get in a fight and end up not being friends? 

Okay, the second one seems to be over thought of. But still. 

I looked at Camila and saw that she was patiently waiting for my answer. "Please don't get mad at me."

"Why would I be mad?" Camila asked and I shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe because ... you might ... I don't know. You know what I'm just being stupid right now. Anywaysss...."

Camila giggled at me. "Oh my god, Lauren, chill. Just tell me who this mystery guy is." 

"I'm going on a date with... Zayn."
