My Tea Mate (CAMREN)

Meeting a New Friend

A few weeks later, I see Camila once again, where we make eye contact than just me noticing her. We are at the school annual activity, tug of war. We are seperated into groups and her's is in front of mine so I can see her face.

This is weird, every time we have an event together, she is the first person I look for. Oh well, she's pretty. Since today is activity day, we get to wear our own clothes. And on my way back to my classroom, I go to the bathroom again, because obviously I need to pee.

Then, I see Camila again. Only this time, she is in the bathroom in front of the mirror checking herself out. And as I walk in, she quickly stops the staring at herself and acts like she is washing her hands.

I say hi to avoid awkwardness, I know, again. She says hi back and when I get out of the stall, she is still there. I look at her wondering what she is doing. And then she sees me and turns around to face me. I chuckle because this is a little weird.

"I really like your shirt." She says.

"Thanks! I really like your face..."

Hahaha just kidding I didn't say that out loud.

"Thanks~ I like your jacket." I reply her.

She says thanks as I actually go wash my hands and she looks like she is waiting for me. I am kind of a straight-forward person, so I ask her,

"Are you waiting for me or something? "

"Yeah!" She smiles.

I hate people waiting for me, especially people that are not close to me. So I quickly finish drying up and walk out with her.

"Thanks!" I say to her.

"Haha, no problem!" She waves, "Bye"

I do the same as we walk in different directions. So yes, our two classrooms are neighbors and the bathroom is in the middle.

I wonder if she knows my name. Weird that she never asked me. I am actually pretty popular in this department since I am the only girl or person with emarald eyes here and extra good in sports than other girls.

Our classroom doors are made with a piece of glass so you can actually see what's going on inside and out.

Anyways, that day after school, I see Camila walk to the direction of the exit and I catch up on her.

"Hi~" I say, acting like this is a total coincidence.

"Oh hi!" She seems a little excited to see me, and it makes me glad.

"You're Lauren right?" She asks.

I knew that she knows me! Guess class 2 talk about me too. Yay.

"Yeah! How'd you know that?" Now I get excited.

"I see you on the field all the time and hear my classmates describe you." She explains.

"Ahh, yeah I'm kinda good at sports, hahahaha." I am really narcissistic, SORRY! "And, you're Camila?" I ask her back.

"Yeah! And how'd you know that?" She sounds surprised.

"My friend, Dinah, told me. She said you are a boarding student." I answer.

"Oh yeah, I met her like on the first day of school." She replies.

"Where are you going then?" I ask again.

"Oh, don't tell anyone but I'm sneaking out of school to go buy milk tea." She smirks.

"Hahaha, Grandpa Tea?" I ask again.

"Yeah, that! You know it?" She asks me.

"Yeah, I went there with my other friend one time. I like that place." Finally I am the one answering.

"Oh cool! You want to go there together now? My treat. " Surprisingly, says her. I would have offered the exact same thing.

"Uhh okay! I'm not in a hurry anyway." I agree.

Then we walk there together, side by side. When she orders her drink, she speaks so quietly and softly, it feels a little weird like she isn't used to this. I have the same drink as her. And as we are waiting for them, I break the silence,

"So after this, you are going back to school?"

"Yeah! But after I finish because this is obviously not allowed." She says.

"Ooh, right, ok." I say back.

When I leave, I grin. Because next time I'm gonna have to treat her back, so I know this is going to happen again. Yess!
