Competitive || Lucy/Camila/Lauren

ten.

Lauren had been avoiding me lately. So I questioned my other best friend but she just gave me a timid smile before changing the topic. Camila Cabello have some secrets that I still have to unlock, and the only person whom she could be comfortable with is, Keana. I've seen how both of them are seriously attached to the hip.

I mean—I even saw a picture of her and Camila on Keana's lockscreen.

I couldn't really made it out though. Like I only see their faces being close towards each other. Weird because Keana and Camila don't rarely talk that much in front of us, but I didn't know they had something behind our backs.

They as me and my Jauregui, my so-oh-beautiful girlfriend. I scrunched up my face at the sound of that... uh, that was cringe-worthy to hear in my head. Then, realising she's not with us during lunch, I asked Camila.

"Where's Lo?"

I could see her flinching and Keana's eyes widening slightly when their intertwined hands were revealed. I chocked on my drink and coughed hard.

"It's not what you think," she said quickly.

"Keana and I are only friends," Camila interjected before changing the topic. "Anyways, Lauren, uh, she's helping Mrs Wilton at the library."

I frowned. Lauren hated that lady guts because she was too homophobic and rude. Perks of being in the last Generation. That lady is basically a cat-lady. Poor her... because of what happened to her family.

"Do you have reasons why she's avoiding me nowadays?" I asked quietly despite the cafeteria being so loud.

I saw how hesitation occurs in her soft brown pupils and how she's clutching and un-clutching Keeks hand.

That's when I comprehend the way Camila's nervous state and how Keana's softly rubbing her thumb at the back of Camila's hand. And Lauren avoiding me.

"You told her?!" I almost shouted. Camila flinched and she removed her grasp from Keana. Right. That's better. Anyways, I can't believe she told Lauren. I mean it was one simple kiss and I didn't see no harm.

I'm afraid Camila see that kissing someone that you're not with is wrong. So she decided to guilt it as cheating. Bravo Cabello, but she so vulnerable. I mean, looked at her. I'm scaring her and maybe that's good because I'm the one who is controlling the school here.

Not Ariana—Not Liz. Me.

"Fucking nerd," I mumbled underneath my breath and Camila almost smile slightly at that words.

I huffed again and narrowed my eyes at hers. "What the fuck are you laughing at," I grumbled.

"No... no, its weird because Lauren called me a 'f-word nerd' three days ago and you just insulted me with that name too. Ha."

"Oh yeah, and she thinks you're hot when you're mad," Keana added and Camila almost slapped her in the face.

"W-wait, but... you guys?l

"Karla and I are just friends," Keana replied lamely.

"But with benefits..." I thought silently.

And God I need to explain to Laur... or she would hate my guts.
