A Change Of Directions (Camren)

Chapter 34: Forgiveness

"I'm all for accidentally pushing her off the pyramid." Dinah suggested.

It was lunch break and the Gay Trinity and I were currently planning a revenge plan for Jennifer after I had told them everything I had found about her from Jack. And I had smartly left out the part how I got the information. I couldn't tell Lauren about the football thing yet.

"Lock her up in the dressing rooms and let her starve?"

We weren't coming very far. Dinah kept suggesting violent scenarios and Lauren preferred emotional attacks.

"Camz, why again am I not allowed to just kick her off the team?" Lauren asked after a while when it was silent and nobody came up with a new idea that wasn't utterly ridiculous.

"And what will you answer when your coach asks you why you did that?" I replied, using my spoon to stir in the goo that was supposed to be a soup. The canteen food was an imposition.

I frowned. I just sounded strange in my head. Maybe I hadn't fully recovered from the football practice.

"I could make up something..." Lauren thought to herself and I sighed. Putting the spoon aside, I reached for Lauren's hand across the table and softly stroked the back of her hand.

"Hey," I gently smiled at her, wanting to make her forget about planning death scenarios. "I don't want you to get pulled into this mess. Don't you think that Jennifer will try to ruin you once she finds out that you are the one who kicked her off the team?"

Lauren sighed. "Alright."

"Pff," Dinah grunted after having fed Normani a spoonful of beans, which was actually a cute sight that I would never admit, "Lauren, don't listen to Cabello. I don't know on what kind of chivalrous trip she is, but letting Monty go with all the crap she did, no way."

"Maybe Mila is trying to drown her with love since she's filled with so much hate?" Normani questioningly said, making Lauren snap, "Before that happens, I'll drown her with her own blood."

"Not with that attitude towards my Mani," Dinah bit back at Lauren.

I rolled my eyes, pulling at Lauren's hand to get her attention again. "If there's someone who should be worried about drowning in my love, it's you, Lauren."

Her eyes softened and she gave me a beaming smile, and this moment would've been more precious if it weren't for -

"Ew, stop that."

Dinah.

"Lauren, let's make a compromise. You kill Jennifer and I kill Dinah," I grimly said, narrowing my eyes at a smirking Dinah who looked at me like, 'Bitch, please'.

Normani made a horrified gasp before throwing her arms around her girlfriend's neck. Dinah's smirk turned into a glare at me, then she softly pried Normani's arms off herself, gently saying, "She didn't mean that, baby."

"Okay, you're not allowed to die until there are clones of you," Normani lightly said, and Lauren and I shared a wary look.

A world full of Dinah's? As if one wasn't enough.

"Are you Camila Cabello?"

Surprised, the four of us turned to an unfamiliar guy who was holding a big bag in his hands.

"Yeah?" I slowly said, eyeing the bag a little bit closer. I could catch a glimpse of the content, it was a blur of blue and white.

"Coach Jackson says that you're number 28 now, and this is your uniform," the boy held up the bag and pointed at it, and realization smacked me across my face. Terrified, I turned to look at Lauren whose expression was full of confusion. Unlike her, Dinah had understood quickly, and she shot me a questioning look while Normani had a knowing smile.
