Dinah sat with Camila on her lap in the wreck room of the studio with the rest of the girls, including Ariana. They had been able to joke around and chill all day, and they couldn't be more grateful for it.

"So, Mani. I heard Arin through both walls last night." Camila winked. "What were you doing to him?"

Normani smirked back and shrugged. "I just gave him what he asked for."

"You're such a whore!" Dinah joked while giggling.

"I'm not a whore, I just give my man what he wants." She shrugged again. "And that's how I keep him wrapped around my little finger."

"True. Arin is whipped." Lauren agreed.

"Girls, not all men need sexual things to keep them close to you." Ally reminded. "Troy loves me dearly, and we're waiting."

"That's because you and Troy are perfect! Don't you get that?" Ariana asked. "I wish I could get a guy to stay with me! They all either want sex, or they just want to say that they're dating me."

"I'm so glad I do not have that problem." Camila sighed in relief. Dinah smiled and wrapped her arms around Camila's waist.

"Yeah, but Dinah doesn't count." Ariana said without realizing.

"Why doesn't Dinah count?" Camila said, instantly getting defensive of her girlfriend.

Ariana spluttered on her words for a few seconds. "I-I just mean that she isn't actually a guy, and her parts don't put her in the same boat as Troy and Arin."

Dinah didn't know why that hurt so much, but she felt her spirits deflate. Ariana hadn't insulted her, but for some reason she felt like she had her entire life until she had met Camila. Like a freak.

"Excuse me?" Camila demanded. Dinah wrapped her arms tightly around Camila's waist to keep her from jumping on Ariana.

"I-I'm not saying it a bad way, I just m-"

"Ari, just stop talking." Lauren whispered. Ariana blushed a deep red color and nodded before looking down.

Camila glared at the girl's head before standing up and pulled Dinah out of the room. Once they were gone, Normani and Ally turned to the girl.

"Nice going." Normani spat.

"I'm so sorry." Ariana pleaded. "I didn't mean for it to come out like that."

Ally's face softened. "It's okay. Dinah will understand." She gave the girl a soft smile.

"Yeah, Dinah will, but Camila is the one you've gotta watch out for." Lauren smiled.

Camila pushed the door to her dressing room open and pulled Dinah inside and to the couch. She sat next to Dinah and looked at the younger girl with concerned eyes.

"What's going through your mind right now?" She asked softly.

"Um, I don't really know." Dinah said sadly.

"You know that you're not 'different', right?"

"But I am different. I'm not a girl and I'm not a boy, so what the hell am I?"

"You're perfect." Camila whispered. "You're so perfect and you're amazing, and I don't know what I would do without you." Camila said honestly.

Dinah turned to Camila with a smile on her face. It was small, but still visible. "You mean that?"

"Of course I do." Camila smiled back. "Let me prove it to you?" She asked. She sunk to her knees in front of the couch and palmed Dinah through her jeans.
