You Can Try

Lauren's POV

I've been dreading these last few months of school..I'm just waiting for them to end so I can get the hell away from everyone and her. I'm proud of myself this last year..I've been me..While I was with Camila and Luis I lost myself within them.I changed who I was and how I was for them. It"s sad but , all of that changed..I'm better than who I was then.

"Lauren , you coming to practice?" Alexa asks taking me away from thoughts.

"Yeah! I'll be there in a second" I said. Then the bell rang to change classes.

"Alright hurry up don't be late you know how coach is" Alexa yelled exiting the room.

"I won't!" I yelled grabbing my softball bag from underneath my desk. I quickly ran out of the room and accidently bumped into somebody.

"Shit , I'm sorry" I said helping the girl up.

"No , I wasn't looking ..It was my fault" She said I know that voice..I looked up to see the beautiful brown orbs that I use to love to stare in so much.

"Hi" She softly said.

"Hi" I said running my fingers through my head. I felt like I couldn't move her eyes were locked onto mine. That locked was broken by the sound of the warning bell.

"I gotta go" I said running in an opposite direction.

Camila's POV

"I talked to Lauren" I said placing my tray onto the table.

"What?" Normani and Dinah say at the same time.

"Yeah , It wasn't an actual conversation it was just a quick "hi" and "bye" thing" I said playing with the food on my tray.

"You still love her don't you?" Normani asks softly.

"So much that it hurts" I whisper. Dinah gets up from the table she seems angry. What's wrong with her.

Dinah's POV

I"m not going to spend the rest of the year dealing with this Camren bullshit. After a year this shit gets olds. When Mila tells us that her and Lauren almost had a real conversation , I saw the way her eyes lit up. I can't keep letting this happen. So , I got up from our table and walked over to Lauren's table with the softball girls.

"Can we talk?" I ask while walking up to the door. They all stop their conversations and Lauren's eyes are dead on mine.

"Yeah.." She said getting up from the table. That whole team seemed tense. They need get laid.

"What's up?" She asks when we're far enough away from people.

"Cut the bullshit Lauren, I KNOW for a fact you still like Camila." I said folding my arms against my chest.

"No , I don't" She whispered.

"Don'r fucking lie to me. You WERE my bestfriend you owe me that. Don't lie to me Laur" I said. She tensed up.

"I'm sorry..I just don't" She said softly.

"You're a coward" I said while walking away.

"I-I can't like someone I still love Dinah" She yelled behind me causing me to stop walking.

"What?" I said turning to face her.

"I. Love. Her." She said with tears streaming down her face. Without thinking I walk up to her and smack her across the face.

"What the hell Dj!" She yelled.

"Sorry, you deserved it . Sorry"  I said rubbing her cheek. She let out a laugh. I missed that laugh

"If you loved her why did you leave her..us?" I said softly. She didn't say a word she just pulled out her phone and showed me a text messages. I read it to myself.

"If you want Camila & Your friends to be safe let them go. Break up with Camila , they all think you're crazy anways so they'll think you've just lost it. Nobody will care to remember you. Let them go and All Of You get to live"

"Holy shit" I muttered.

"Why didn't you tell us!" I yelled smacking her in the arm.

"I couldn't but , I always watched out for you guys. Like when you failed your end of the year exams and almost didn't pass."  She said.

"You told Lopez to pass me!" I yelled hugging her in excitement.

"Yup , I never left. I just wasn't physically there" She said softly.

"Come on" I said dragging her.

"Where are we going" She asked.

"You'll see" I smirked.

Once we reached the table I pushed Lauren into it.

"Talk to her!" I yelled.

"Normani do you mind if I steal Camila for a minute?" She asked.

"Yeah sure" She said giving Lauren a quick smile. Camila didn't notice our conversations because she had her earphones in. Lauren walked up behind her and tapped her on shoulder and in one swift motion Camila was facing Lauren.

"Uh-Uh Hey ..um..Camz..I mean Camila..Can we talk?" Lauren said. Camila sat there with her mouth wide open , nodding like a weirdo. She got up from the table and followed Lauren.

"What's going on?" Normani asks as we walk in the hallway.

"Camren Reunion if Lauren plays her cards right" I said holding my hand up for Normani to high five me.
