Love in secret (camren)

Chapter 2 - Seniors' class

Camila let a few heavy breath before opening the door to her new English class. She was an advanced student in this course which allows her to join the senior class. One of the main reasons Camila was accepted in Miami High, a highly reputable school was due to her achievements in English essay and poem writing competition, spelling bee etc. However being in senior classes is like 'wearing red while other people are wearing white is a cage with multiple buffalos'. She would be the target of all bullies within the class. Being a nerd is one thing, but being a nerd with her achievements being thrown to the faces of the bullies is a recipe for disaster.

Camila entered the class which were almost full already but the teacher have not arrived yet. The class became silent and all heads were now facing Camila. Her face became pale, both scared and nervous. She looked around for an empty table but can't find any. The students have already booked their seats and lingered around the class. So it's impossible to determine which seats were taken and which seats were only temporally seated by the lingering students. Camila froze in front of the class still searching for a seat, as nervous as ever. All of the students were still staring at Camila, anticipating for something to happen. Camila breathed heavily feeling like she's gonna pass out any moment now.

"Introducing the young over achiever who jumped class, and who's gonna put all of our lazy bastards to shame, Ms Bookworm!" A boy at the back of the class shouted then laughed. Camila have him a quick look before turning her gaze away to continue miserably in search of an empty seat. The group surrounding the boy laughed loudly. The boy has a curly hair, a build physique and kind of tall. His friend beside him who was slightly better built than him continued the mocking, "Oh the mighty Ms Bookworm, please show mercy to us and do not put us all to shame with all your over achivements!" now most of the students within the classroom laughed. At this point Camila was already confused, 'are they insulting me of are simple joking around and mocking themselves. Could they be another Austin who is actually nice but got the wrong impression' thought Camila.

"Well Drew, it seems like your lazy ass has to work more now. About time to... since that ass is getting bigger after the summer vacation" a girl voiced out causing the whole class to die out of laughter. Camila recognised the girl, she was one of the three beautiful girls at the hall this morning. Camila became more worried, 'are they gonna start fighting? Is he gonna take out all his anger on me later? Why in the world do you have to reply him blonde girl!' thought Camila.

"I'll work my ass off for you anytime Ally -boo" the nicely built boy replied with a wink towards the blonde girl. After turning her gaze between Drew and Ally, Camila saw the dark haired girl, one of the three beautiful popular girls waved at her hand signalling her to take her seat that she has been saving. The dark haired girl moved from that seat to the sat beside Ally. The seat was by the window in the middle of the class and was under the air conditioner. There was a small base of flower between the window and the set containing a couple of fresh roses. From that seat you could have a perfect view of the whole class and the whiteboard. There was also a electrical plug near the seat which had an iPhone charger already plugged in. Camila smiled, 'maybe they want to get to know me and be friends'.

As Camila walked past both of them, she muttered "thanks" and smiled happily. Both of the girls quickly turned to Camila with a confused look then giggles. Camila being oblivious to this interaction sat down and make herself comfortable. She unpacked her pencil box and arranged her books on the table with a stupid grin still plastered on her face. She is always excited for English class and now she has more reason to be. Before she could finish arranging her books she noticed at the edge of her eyes a silhouette of a girl standing in front of her desk. The girl was very close which causes some part for the girls clothing to rest on her table. She frowned and glanced to the intruder. Camila expression changed from annoyed to shocked then shy and embarrassed.
