Different Keys

"Where's the representation? I want my people of color!"

Lauren thought it was weird how everything happened. She talked to Camila about Charlie. She put things into perspective for her but then there was distance between her and Charlie. The bad thing was that it was completely obvious to everyone. Camila went from spending every moment with Charlie, to spending time with Lauren.

Shawn and Dinah were convinced Lauren made a move on Camila. Or the other way around. They were convinced something happened at the park for Camila to drastically change towards Charlie. Lauren actually felt guilty about it. She didn't understand it. As much as she tried she couldn't, and her and Camila hadn't talked about Charlie since that day at the park.

It was such a drastic change. Something in Camila snapped. She stopped going to parties, she stopped drinking, and she stopped hooking up with guys. She started staying in more often, pizza night turned into a twice a week thing. Camila started hanging out with Normani and Ally as well. Camila was the only one who hadn't met them, but Lauren talked about her so much they felt like they knew her for years. They were a happy little group, but Charlie was still a part of it which made things awkward.

Charlie was a charmer. He charmed Camila, and even though Normani and Ally heard about him through Lauren who would always get mad when she talked about him, Normani and Ally liked him too. Which helped because the group was starting to feel like they had to pick sides. It was obvious everyone would be team Camila, but it was hard to stand by that when they had no idea what happened. That lasted about three weeks, after that there was another change.

Camila threw a party. It was the first time she was throwing one so she made sure to go all out. It had been a while since she enjoyed one, so things got a bit out of hand. For example, she started drinking before setting up. By the time guests arrived she was already a bit tipsy. She danced with pretty much everyone in her house. Everyone except for Charlie and Lauren. Charlie was just as drunk but he was out back, and Lauren was sober. She didn't drink, and it was her first party. Also she had a feeling all of her friends would be drunk and someone had to take care of them.

Charlie came back inside to get another drink, when he saw Camila dancing he couldn't help but go towards her. He stood in front of her and they immediately fell into it. They started dancing together, there was no denying they had chemistry. Camila turned around and pressed her back against him, his arms wrapped around her waist.

"You think we can slip away?"

"I don't see why not."

Camila grabbed his hand and led him into her room. She locked the door and sat on the bed because she needed to take her shoes off, her feet were killing her. Charlie made himself comfortable on the other side of her bed, he watched Camila and as soon as she finished he pulled her on top of him. He missed this, he missed her.

Camila woke up a few hours later. She could still hear music coming from her living room, but it wasn't as loud as before. She woke up wearing Charlie's shirt, but he wasn't in bed with her anymore. She sat up and saw him sitting on the stool on the other side of her room playing her keyboard. He was wearing headphones, so she took the time to take in everything in. It was a cute scenario. She wished she could have woken up to hearing him play, but she guessed he head headphones on because he didn't want to wake her up. Which made the scenario even cuter.

She got up and walked over to him, she couldn't surprise him because she had two mirrors right in front of her keyboard. He saw her reflection and smiled at her. He took off her headphones and unplugged them so she could hear him play.

"I accidentally wrote you a song. More like composed, I need some lyrics." He stood up and grabbed the keyboard off the stand and put it on her bed instead. Camila walked over and sat on her bed next to him as he started playing.
