Lauren and I sat in the coffee shop for a few more hours talking about both nothing and everything at the same time, which was odd for someone I just met, until she had to go to her next class, sociology I think. So I decided to head back to my room and recuperate from all the socialising. As ridiculous as it sounds I really needed to. Spending any given amount of time with people and talking always drained me of my energy.
"Hey Chancho, why are you so smiley?" Dinah asked as I entered the room looking at a text that had appeared on my phone from Lauren. We had agreed to exchange numbers earlier on and she promised to text, actually she was very insistent upon it.
Lauren(1:29pm): I really liked talking- or stutering a jumbled mess at yio today. It was fun, maybee we can do it agian sometime. Only if you want 2 vo.
"Hmm? No reason." I spoke walking over to my bed and flopping down on it as I read over her text again. There were a few spelling errors or typos but nothing I couldn't understand. So I unlocked my phone and thought of a text to send back to the new girl I had just met.
"Right because people walk around smiling at their phones for no apparent reason now." Dinah spoke sarcastically.
"I'm very passionate about technology, what can I say?" I said monotonously as I focused on typing a reply back to Lauren.
Camila(1:31pm): Sssh! You spoke fine. I enjoyed it too. We can definitely hang again, I'm definitely beginning to like you Lauren Jauregui 😉😉 xxx
I sent the text, immediately regretting the risqué emoji use. "Oh no! " I sat up quickly.
"What?!" Dinah asked in a surprised panic at my sudden outburst.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no." I said staring at my phone, regretting the added emoji. Why did I have to put two? This was bad. Why do I have no chill? Dumb Camila. Dumb! I internally slapped myself.
"What? What? What? What?!" Dinah asked coming over to me looking confused.
"Text. The text." I said throwing my phone on the bed upright so she could see the screen as I pointed at it with a dreaded expression on my face.
"What about it?" She said picking it up my phone unbothered and reading the message as I watched her face for any sign of expression. She showed none. "Is this the flower girl?" Dinah asked.
"Uh hu." I replied wide eyed.
"So that's why you were smiling." She said wiggling her eyebrows and looking all smirky.
"Dinah! Can we focus on the problem at hand?!" I stressed feeling my anxiety rise.
"Which is?" Dinah said growing bored, she certainly wasn't the patient type.
"The emoji! I shouldn't have added the fucking emoji!" I flipped, biting my nails, "Especially along with the kisses."
"Alright, alright. It's just an emoji calm down. We can fix this." Dinah said calmly snapping into her serious mode after seeing how dire this situation indeed was. "Mila!!! You added two?!" Dinah freaked.
"I know I'm sorry. I'm such a fuc-" I groaned.
"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Dinah said letting go of the phone scared and letting it fall back onto its place on the bed.
