Misconception (Camila/You)

Chapter Five

Y/N POV

First of all, what the fuck? I can't believe Camila was here? Don't get me wrong I was happy inside to see her, but then to know that she went on a date with Lauren hurt. A lot. But I can't really blame her, can I? We've barely even talked and she and Lauren have probably been in touch since that horrible party last week.

It just doesn't make sense though. Aren't we supposed to be soulmates? Like, we should have comnected by now.

Groaning, I flopped onto my recently, cleaned couch. Tori came by earlier and we had watched a movie together on the television. After she left though, there were crumbs left on the couch so I had to clean it, again. I wasn't too bad of a germaphobe, not to the point where I had to wear gloves 24/7, it was just, I found it unsanitary and disgusting if I had crumbs or anything else unsanitary lying around the house. Hence why, my, or should I say, Lauren's apartment, was extremely cleaned and organized.

I wonder if Lauren and Camila are still together right now.

Shrugging the thought off, I turned on my phone and scrolled through my Twitter. Then, a certain article caught my attention. More like, the headline caught my attention.

"Lauren Jauregui, Fourth Harmony member, spotted with soloist Camila Cabello? New relationship on the rise?"

What the fuck? Furrowing my eyebrows, I tapped on the article and waited for it to load.

"Earlier today, Fourth Harmony band member, Lauren Jauregui, was spotted out togethed with soloist, Camila Cabello. We all know that both of the singers sexuality are out in the open, since they have confessed earlier among the year.

Does spotting them out at a coffee shop together show they might have some romantic interest towards each other?

We don't know yet, but we definitely ship it so far! Look at these photos and try not to gush at how cute the, future couple, might be! Could they be soulmates? You tell us, and send in your ship names!"

I scrolled through the photos in the article, feeling my heart break, just a little. They looked so...right together. They definitely looked like they had romantic interest in each other.

How was I even supposed to compete with Lauren? She was literally a goddess. I mean, she was voted "Hottest Woman of the Year", for crying out loud! And me? Just a nobody.

God! Why did I literally have to have a soulmate that was out of my league.

I just sighed in disappointment and laid back down on my couch, my eyes fluttering as I was prepared to fall asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Waking up was hell. Sleeping on my couch was the worst thing I could have done today. I sat up groaning and tried to massage the sore spots on my body. My shoulders and neck were stiff and I had a weird feeling in my legs. You know the feeling where it feels like there are probably needles poking and prodding at you a million times a second? Or that static-y feel? Yeah, that.

Looking at the time I saw it was already 9 A.M. Dang, that was a long nap. Shrugging it off, I decided to go to my favorite coffee shop. It was always so clean and homey. What a wonderful atmosphere for me.

I quickly threw on my black ripped skinny jeans, a white t-shirt, and threw on my faded maroon flannel on. As I stepped out onto the busy sidewalks of Los Angeles, I quickly took a deep breath of fresh air. Ahh, no better place than sweet L.A.

Arriving at my usual coffee place, the small bell above the door rang as I stepped inside. The cool air from the air conditioners hit me and I grinned, already feeling happy.

Stepping into line, I ordered my usual of a vanilla mocha frappucino with chocolate dusting. My order was soon called and I headed to a small table in the corner of the room. I grabbed a sanitizing wipe out of my bag and wiped the table before grabbing my laptop out of my bag and charging it into the nearest outlet and got started on finishing my summer homework for my AP classes.

Two pages into my essay about coral reefs for my APES class, (AP Environmental Science) the chair in front of me was pulled back as someone sat down. I cautiously glanced up and was suprised.

It was Camila. Sitting here. Near me. What in the actual hell?

"I-I, you, what, what are you doing here?" I quickly stuttered out, still suprised she sat near me.

She looked away and grumbled, "It's not like I wanted to sit near you anyway. The tables are full and I was just waiting for Lauren to pick me up."

After hearing her speak, my mood quickly shot down. "I was just fucking asking," I grumbled under my breath. I took another glance up at her and couldn't help, but to admire her beauty. She looked beautiful. No, no, no. Better than beautiful. Simply exquisite. I glanced down quickly because I felt as if she was going to catch me staring and just walk away.

We both sat in silence for a few minutes. The only sound that was heard was the quiet chattering of the rest of the customers and my fingers typing away at the keyboards. I only stole a few quick glances at her face in the meantime, as she quietly drank her coffee.

A few minutes later her phone started to ring, disrupting the tense and silent air around us. Must be Lauren, I thought bitterly. Never in my life had I felt so bitter and angry towards her. Even if she always outshone me in activities we did in school together. Everytime there was a debate and I brought up a good argument, she always countered it back with a better argument which I had no response for, never did I say anything then. Everytime we had a project and I thought I would be able to take a first place prize, she would always end up winning and never did I say anything. Each time I entered the district's art competition she would also enter for fun, but she always won, leaving me in second place. Never did I complain then. Never did I complain, even when Lauren always seemed to capture my love interests hearts, eve  as I had to watch them be lovey dovey. Back then I always used to accept it. I was always second place, whereas Lauren was always first. She was always able to outshine me no matter how hard I tried.

Now though, it's a different story. This time. This time, Lauren was able to capture the attention of my soulmate.

As I saw Camila walk outside towards a black car that I recognized as Lauren's, I couldn't help but wish that for once, I could have been in Lauren's place. Over the 10 years Lauren and I had known each other, out of all the awards and first places that she always managed to get, I had finally wished that for once, could I just take Lauren's place. But, of course, my wishes never came true, as I watched Lauren's car drive off, down the street.
