Camila's POV after her conversation with Lauren

*********

After talking with Lauren, the bell rang and I had to sprint to my home room, which was a little hard considering hands and knees were grazed and started bleeding. I also had a few bruises here and there, nothing major. When I reached my home room there was blood running down my legs from my knees and you could see it through my jeans,

'Dinah won't be very open minded about this' I thought. 'Although when is she ever' I quietly chuckled to myself.

'She'll probably flip out and think Arse-tin and his Mahorndogs messed with me again. God, if me and Normani hadn't held her back last semester she would have lost her cool and gone bat shit crazy on my ex boyfriend. Although on second thought I'm not really sure why we didn't let her do it, other than the fact she would have gotten suspended.'

I was pulled out of my thoughts by the bell ringing and Dinah clearing her throat and looking at me expectedly.

"What?" I ask as innocent as possible.

"Why the fuck can I see blood through your jeans Chancho?"

I know if I tell her the truth she'll try and beat up Lauren, but if lie to her she can tell. Ugh this would be so much easier if Dinah couldn't read me like a fucking book.

"Chancho?.... Walz? ... Mila?..... KARLA!" Dinah yells. 

I look at her blankly, my mind being somewhere else completely. I snap back to reality when I hear Dinah scream the forbidden word.

"What!?" I yell back, clearly irritated that she used the 'K' word on me.

"Camila I ain't gonna ask you again, who the fuck hurt my little Chancho?" Dinah said lowly, complete seriousness etched all over her face. That is until I audibly gulp and she smirks.

"The new girl kinda hit me with her car door" I replied sheepishly, as Dinah took off running. "But she didn't--" I was quickly cut off by Dinah screaming at me to 'get my ass up and follow her'.

**********

It's been over an hour which means we're halfway through our double spare and Dinah has been dragging me all over the school looking for Lauren, without letting me explain what really happened. I know exactly where Lauren is and she probably thinks I'm ditching her by not showing up, man she's gonna hate me.

Once we pass room 24 I notice that Lauren isn't there, instead she's down the hall leaning on the wall taking to a short blonde girl. I don't know why but I feel jealously surge through my veins and spread throughout my body. I must have been staring because Dinah averts her gaze from one of the classrooms and immediately follows my stare, I groan when Dinah starts to stomp her way over to the girls and drags me along behind me.

The shorter girl looks over Lauren's shoulder and I'm guessing she caught Dinah's glare. I see her tell Lauren something, she turns around and her smile drops when she sees a furious Dinah beside me. She steps forward and clears her throat, unintentionally blocking me from their view.

"Um...I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but..Who are you?" The short blonde asks with clear confusion and hesitation dripping from her voice.

"Who the fuck are you short stack?" Dinah quipped back

"Hey I don't know who you are or what your problem is with me, but I don't appreciate you talking to her like that" Lauren said as calmly as she could in the situation she was put in.

"I'm Camila's best friend, ya know the one you hit with the door of your car?" Dinah scoffs.

"Hold on, that was an accident and I apologised for it" Lauren tries to explain but Dianh rolls her eyes and completely ignored statement.

"Yo, you made my little Mila swamp her jeans with fucking blood and you think an apology fixes that" Dinah yells.

Okay that's it, I get on my tippy toes and whisper to Dinah what happened and her face  immediately softens and her eyes fill with guilt.

"Dawgs I'm so sorry, I'm just protective of my best friend and I assumed the worst when she told me the new kid hit her with a car door. "Dinah explained, showing vulnerability  for the first time in since she got her heartbroken a few years back.

Lauren's POV

After Ally left, Dinah apologised for yelling at me and accusing me of purposely hurting Camila. We ended up becoming friends, I know that sounds weird but there was absolutely no tension whatsoever. I'm glad that I finally have some friends who aren't using me. Speaking of friends, I wonder where Mani is.

Lauren :
Hey Mani, are you okay? I haven't seen you all day. Come to think of it, I didn't see you in home room either.

Normani :
Yeah Im at home taking a sick day

Lauren :
Sick day or 'sick' day?

Normani :
;)

I laugh and put my phone back in my pocket. After what feels like the longest 20 minutes of my life, the bell rings for 3rd period and we each go to our next classes. I guess coming back to Miami was a better decision than I thought.

(Time jump to the next day, still Lauren's POV)

I'm watching Chris get knocked around by a few boys and I can't say I'm happy about it. I can't do anything, but I wish I could.

"Hey Laur," D came up from behind where I was watching my brother and to be honest, she kinda scared the crap outta me.

"Hiya DJ, what's up?"

"Apparently someone's interest in Chris Jauregui," she smirked accusingly at me.

Oh god, she better say what I think she's gonna.

"Oh um... I was just making sure he didn't get hurt," I'll admit, I'm a little embarrassed that she said that. I mean, it's my brother. So naturally, my cheeks are a little pink.

"OMG dawg do you like him?!" She yelled, very loudly.

Ew, I think I just threw up a little in my mouth

"What?! Ew no. I just don't like to see anyone hurt,"

"K man but if you do like someone, I'm the bish to tell," pitting the emphasis on tell, she gestures to her face, does her signature hair flip, then walks off dramatically.

Leaving me utterly disgusted with the accusation of me liking my own flesh and blood romantically.
