SpiderMan - Camren

"Don't forget to bring your permission slips tomorrow!" Their teacher yelled as the bell rang, dismissing them from their day at school. It had been one of those days where Lauren admittedly just wanted to get home, and crash straight onto her bed. Because that's what four hours of sleep does to a person.

As she was about to leave the school building, hand just grazing onto the cold handle of the exit door, she felt a small hand lightly pull at her wrist. Causing Lauren to jump a little and turn around with her startled expression instantly fading upon seeing a timid Camila in front of her.

"Thanks-uh-for the help today. I was honestly about to get up and run out the classroom," Camila stuttered out. The first few seconds following after Camila finished her statement were met with complete silence. Because Lauren found it so unfathomable that the Camila Cabello just touched her wrist.

But all of a sudden Lauren wasn't so tired anymore, she felt a rush of adrenaline as Camila spoke to her. The smaller girl's big brown eyes shined up at her, in an expression similar to that of a lost puppy. And the way that Camila's words came out of her lips in stuttered words left Lauren's ears in a quick, imaginative trip to heaven.

"It was really no problem, like really. I already studied before so I really wasn't paying attention. And then I heard he was asking questions. So then I started to pay attention. And then he said Camila. And I saw your shoulders drop. So I was like-"

She was cut off by Camila's quiet voices saying, "You're rambling," along with a cute giggle. And Camila honestly didn't know that she said that out loud. Camila had only said it because nobody has ever been particularly nervous while talking to her. So Camila didn't know whether she found it flattering or whether she found it cute. But hearing Lauren stumble upon her words made her feel something.

"Oh, sorry," Lauren apologized with a little laugh, rubbing the back of her neck with her hand with nervous intention.

Camila didn't say anything. She simply stared at Lauren, head slightly tilted, trying to hide her wide smile by biting on her lip. Because it had been forever since Camila felt her heart swell at the words of another.

God, she's trying to kill me.

"Well anyways, maybe we can talk again tomorrow?" Camila asked with a little hope in her voice. Which at first, left Lauren confused beyond belief. Because she didn't want to believe that the Camila Cabello just said that. And after recovering, Lauren nodded furiously in response. Oh, but in her brain, it was much worse. In her brain, she was fist pumping while jumping all over the place.

"Uh yeah, totally... bye, Camila." Lauren answered awkwardly while trying her best to hide her excitement, which was a task founded to be quite difficult for Lauren. Especially seeing as miracles that this had never seemed to come into her life too often.

"Bye, Lauren." Camila waved. And maybe it was the cute face that Lauren was making. But Camila found herself walking to her car with a little extra hop in her step.

As soon as Lauren entered her house, her Aunt approached her. "There is some lasagne on the dining table, if you want some for dinner," the small lady stated while hugging her niece.

"Thanks, Auntie. Where's Uncle?" Lauren asked, letting go of her Aunt's embrace. She let her arms fall from Clara's waist slowly, because her Aunt had always been known as a fragile lady. So Lauren had always treated her Aunt with light touches.

"He fell asleep early, long day at work," her Aunt answered in a playfully annoyed tone along with a lighthearted roll of her hazel eyes.

Lauren decided to skip out on dinner and headed straight up to her bedroom. As soon as her feet planted in her bedroom, she sat at her desk and began her homework. Her pencil glazed across her paper in quickly written letters as she answered the questions with such ease. It was until she was halfway through her homework when she heard the muttered sounds of faint yelling.

"Auntie! Is that you?" Lauren yelled, voice loud enough for her Aunt to hear.

"Is what me?" Clara responded, only furthering Lauren's confusion as to where the faint yelling could've been deriving from.

"Nevermind!" Lauren replied. Strange. When the raven haired girl still continued to hear the faint yelling, she glanced up and saw a certain brown eyed brunette aggressively waving at the window in order to grab Lauren's attention.

She opened her window with slight struggle, "Was that you?" Lauren asked, confused as to why Camila Cabello would want to talk to her. I mean, she had already said thanks for saving her in class earlier. What else could she want?

"Yes, that was me! I've been trying to get your attention for like five frickin minutes!" Camila replied, acting playfully aggravated.

"I'm sorry! What'd do you wanna tell me?" Lauren asked, trying her best to hide her excitement from the fact that the Camila Cabello was talking to her.

"Are you going to the field trip tomorrow?" Camila asked. And the small bit of hope that was in her voice certainly did not go unnoticed to Lauren.

"Yeah! Why?"

"No reason! I'll see you at the field trip! Good night, Laur!"

"See ya tomorrow! Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!" Lauren waved, causing Camila to let out a giggle. The giggle from Camila went in and out of Lauren's ears. Because all she could think about was why the fuck she decided to say that.
