midnight |c.c imagines

too late.

since day one of high school, she had a hatred towards me. we were seniors now. she despised me and i didn't know why. we were close. yeah we were best friends and all but once we hit high school, she snapped.

i wouldn't care as much. maybe i wouldn't care at all when she started hating me. the problem is that im in love with her.

"hey! get out of the way y/l/n." her voice growled.  i turned around from the track field.

"if your such in a hurry just walk around me cabello." i snapped back. she scoffed and rolled her eyes, walking past me.

. i sighed. "i hate that i love her." i mumble to myself
as i walked back towards the gym, rambling on about camila to myself, i bumped into someone pretty badly. "shit! im sorry." i quickly apologize.

suddenly the most lovable laughter filled my ears that i had to shake myself back into reality. "it's okay. every time im rambling i get distracted too." she smiled warmly.

"im selena by the way." she introduced herself. i gave her a soft smile. "im y/n. you're new here right?"

she nodded her head. "yea. just moved here. you happen to be the first person i meet, and im glad."

an amused smile plastered on my face. was she flirting with me?

"oh really? and why's that?" i smirked. she raised an eyebrow and giggled. "because you're nice to me. well minus bumping into me. and because i think you're pretty cute." she smiled sweetly.

i managed to glance over her shoulder and spot a certain cuban who apparently hated my guts staring holes right through me. a playful grin slapped onto my face as i had an idea.

"well you aren't so bad yourself. if you want i can help you get around this place." i said, holding out my arm for her to link her arm to. she gladly took it and we walked towards the hallway, purposely walking passed camila along the way.

"is this a lame excuse to get me jealous." camila raised an eyebrow. my heart quickens when she says that. but i managed to keep my cool.

"oh you fucking wish cabello." i scoffed walking past her like i wasn't dying on the inside.

"well isn't she just peachy." selena joked. a smile pursed on my face as i shook my head.

"a best friend who lost interest in me." i shrugged, answering the unasked question.

"wow. i mean i don't think i would ever loose interest in someone this cute. c'mon i'd probably end up falling in love with you if i were you're best friend."

i felt a blush creep up my cheeks. "okay you're hyping me up too much. have you seen yourself in the mirror. you're beautiful." i said sincerely.

i spotted camila in the corner of my eye as i said the next sentence loudly so she could hear. "and that best friend slot is open. i wouldn't mind falling in love with you." i winked at her.

before selena could answer, camila came rushing towards us and pushed selena out of the way.

"camila what the fuck?!" i yelled. camila didn't have to say anything for me to know that she was jealous. her jaw clenched tightly when she looked back at selena. i though i would feel happy that i managed to get camila to feel this way.

but the shocked look on selena's face made me feel guilty. "im not and idiot y/l/n. i knew you were trying to get me jealous." she spat.

"why would you get jealous of me hanging out with somebody. you hate me for fucks sake!"

camila stayed silent. that surprised me. but i didn't let her speak anymore. i just pushed passed her and looked down at selena with apologetic eyes.

"c'mon let's get out of here." selena whispered, grabbing my hand. i nodded, comfort filling my aura.

"suprisee." i sang happily, covering selena's eyes. it's been a two months since i met selena. surprisingly i've gained some feelings towards her, making me doubt the love i had left towards camila.

"hey." selena sighed happily. she wrapped an arm around me and kissed my cheek. "what's a beauty like you sitting here all alone." i smiled.

"just waiting for my favorite girl to get me and ice cream cone that i forgot to get." she grinned cheekily. i couldn't help but chuckle at her cuteness.

"of course."

i got up from the table and headed towards the line, that's when camila came up to me out of nowhere. "i need to talk to you." she said swiftly.

"what do you want cabello." i sighed deeply. i was tired. tired of all this bullshit.

"c'mon." she grabbed my hand and lead me into the hallway. "okay let go of me! what is it." i said sternly. camila looked away from my stare. i've never seen her like this.

"i-i don't hate you."

a loud sarcastic laugh escaped my lips. "okay. sure whatever you say cabello."

"i mean it! all those times where i yelled at you, called you names. it's because.. because."

i rolled my eyes. "this is a waste of time. i have shit to d-" "wait!"

before i turned around fully, she blurted it out.
"im in love with you okay!" my heart dropped. i felt all the love that has diminished came back  to me. "some kind of love. why didn't you tell me this earlier." i cried out.

"it's not too late. im sorry for all the harm i caused you." she whispered, trying to cup my cheek. i pulled away weakly, glancing at selena from across the room. i couldn't just ditch her.

"i-it is too late. i've loved you for years. and every single year i thought you despised me." i leaned down and kissed her cheek quickly, tears streaming down her cheeks.

i felt my eyes water. i couldn't love her. my love was given to someone new.

someone who didn't hide their love.
