Wait till after Lauren and Camila share their moment then press play.

"..Well, that was weird," Dinah said after Lauren's weird departure, looking to the girls.

"You wanna talk about weird? A few days ago I overheard Lauren in the girl's restroom talking to herself" Normani says.

"Why is that weird?" Camila asked to defend Lauren's honour.

"Because the weird part of it all, was her saying how she can't have these feelings, it's wrong, and how she shouldn't be attracted to this girl, because she's family" Normani finished up. At the mention of family, both Camila and Dinah looked at one another. While Camila's face showed terror, Dinah's showed a smirk.

"I-I think I'm g-going to find Lauren" Camila stuttered out running in the same direction Lauren did.

"Why are they so jittery today?" Ally asked no one in particular, watching as Camila chased after her.

"Could be the coffee. I hear caffeine is like crack to Cubans" Dinah said, making them turn to look at her, after a short time they started laughing at her comment.

"Sure Jan. Come on, let's get to class," Normani says walking.

"And also Lauren's a lesbian, is she not? So why can't she have feelings for her?" Ally mentioned as they walked to class.

Camila continued to look for Lauren but with no such luck on finding her until it finally hit her. Slowly she tipped toed into the music room, hearing the piano from across the room. Standing by the trumpets Camila in awestruck watched silently as Lauren played 'Knocking on heaven's door'. Everything was going well till she accidentally hit one of the trumpets making them fall over in a domino effect.

"You always were such a clumsy person," Lauren says not bothering to turn around. Camila tried to put them back on the wall but gave up seeing as they kept falling to the ground. "How'd you find me?" She asked as she continued to play.

"I know you" Was her only answered as she walked to the piano and Lauren. "I didn't know you played," she said sitting on the piano bench next to her.

"I guess you don't know me then like you claim" she smirked letting her fingers dance on the keys. Camila bumped shoulders with her chuckling. "But I used to but I don't play that much anymore" she shares as she stopped playing to finally look at her. "So, what is it that you want?"

"To see if you're ok" Camila answers. "I saw how jittery you were when they mentioned how I should tell Shawn how I feel about him" she explained, playing with the keys on the piano.

Lauren visibly tensed up thinking about it, which didn't go unnoticed by Camila.

"You told me he wasn't your crush. But he is. So why did you lie to me?" She asked her.

"Lo, I guarantee you" she began. "Shawn is far from my crush. I honestly don't see him in that why, Dinah just thinks that since we hang out almost every day" she lied to her. She wasn't going to tell Lauren that her real crush was, her.

"..So you don't like him in that way, then?" Lauren hesitantly asked.

"Right, but you know Dinah always thinks she knows what's best for me," she tells with a small smile playing on her lips. "But yeah, I don't like him," she says meeting her gaze.

"Well, I'm glad" Lauren smiled, looking into her chocolate brown eyes.

There was so much tension in this very moment that neither of them wanted to break it, but despite it, Camila averted her eyes back to the piano, playing the same keys as she was before.
