It'll Be Our Secret

Confessions

"Mija, how come you didn't tell us!"

Lauren's face, as well as mine, went straight to the face that you would make as a child when you got a text saying, "We need to talk, my child."

"Um, tell you what?" I gulped. Is this about me dating Lauren?

"How come you didn't tell us you were assaulted? Like, you didn't call us at all! We were so worried, Camila!"

My mom said as Sofi came through the tour bus with a small teddy bear in her arms.

My mother waved at the other girls sitting on the couch.

"Actually, Sinu, Chancho has been in a hotel for one night and wouldn't talk to us. Then Lauren----"

"DINAH." I interrupted her as soon as she spoke of Lauren's name.

"What? I was just going to say she ran into you while you were in the grocery store and brought you home, because she is such a caring friend." Dinah winked at Lauren and I.

"Oh, well why didn't you just say so! I'm glad you are safe." My mom hugged me again and went to greet Normani my Ally, whom were listening to our conversation.

Lauren and I looked at Dinah, who was smirking at us.

"I don't know what you guys are so worried about. Last I heard, your mom sent two grand to a gay pride parade and has helped children who have been disowned by their parents for being LGBTQIA+."

"Dinah... I don't even know what I am."

"So? Labels shouldn't matter. All that matters is that you love Lauren."

"Oh. So I don't have to know?" My lips arched into a small smile.

Who knew I could get gay advice from someone who is extremely boy crazy!

"Yep, you don't even have to label yourself." Dinah perched her lips and took a selfie for Snapchat on her phone.

Lauren was listening and was smiling too.

"I think I'm bisexual guys."

I was the first to gasp at Lauren's confession.

That gives me girls AND guys to compete with. Shit.
