Take You Back [ Camila/You ]

Chapter 3

Y/N's POV

As I heard someone crying, I slowly leaned my head at the stall. I heard it clearly and that voice was really familiar. I went to the other stall two stall apart from the crying voice and peed quickly. After I peed, I decided to lean again, but before I could, she opened the door and it came in contact with my nose.

"Oh fuck" I winced and held my nose. "Oh my god Y/N I'm so sorry." I heard Lauren apologize and- Wait? Lauren?

"Lauren?" I immediately forgot the pain in my nose and instead I looked at her. Her eyes were puffy due to her crying just a minute ago but she still looked beautiful. "Why are you crying?" I got up and held her shoulder. "N-nothing" she stuttered while looking down. "You're lying Lauren. Tell me what happened?" I asked her once again. "L-luis." she stuttered again. "What's with him?" I asked completely concern. "He ch-cheated on me." and with that she cried once again.

I let her cry until I decided to just skip school and make her feel better. I only had one subject before lunch anyway. I held her face and wiped her tears. "Do you wanna skip class and go eat with me?" She looked at me and nodded. She puts on her hood so no one could see she was crying before we got out of the bathroom. I held her hands protectively and we made our way out of the school. I saw Dinah looking at us but I brushed it aside since she's not my business for now.

We got inside my jeep and made our way out before a teacher could see us. She pointed at my radio silently asking if she could use it. I nodded and then she attached her phone and played Chocolate by The 1975. "Whoa Lo, I didn't know you were a fan too." I told her, obviously hyped since my friends' music taste sucks. "I am a big fan. They calm me down everytime." She answered and we continued singing along to the song.

After a while, I pulled up to Burger King. As I got out, I quickly ran to the other side to open the door for Lauren, which made her blush and giggle. Cute.

We made our way inside and got our order. It was an awkward silence before I decided to clear my throat. "Um, may I know what happened?" Lauren gave me an apologetic smile and shook her head. "Oh, well. Can I beat his ass?" I joked as I playfully punched the air repeatedly. Lauren let out a breathy laugh and slightly slapped my shoulder.

"No, you can't. He's not worth it." She continued laughing before the silence resurfaced the atmosphere again.

"Well, how's the Camila thing going?" Lauren asked out of nowhere and it took me off guard. "W-what do you mean?" I chuckled nervously.

"Do you think I don't see you following her around like a lost puppy? It's like you always chase her and gets rejected at ridiculed in return." She chuckled.

"Well, that's love for you I guess." I shrugged.

"Tell me about it." I shot my eyes back up to her, only to see her glancing on the outside.

I may be dumb but I am not that dumb to not comprehend what happened. Though, I decided to ignore it.

Soon, our foods came in and we ate, trying to keep up a casual conversation with each other. I am just glad this didn't go as awkward as I think it would be.

Camila's POV

I went to History class and saw Shawn and Ashton talking but Y/N wasn't there. I shrugged it off and went to my seat. Dinah and Normani then came and sat with me. We talked for a while until Mr. Santiago came and started the class.

Half of the class and Y/N wasn't in here still, I ignored it but I felt a glint of concern but I tried to fight it and not show any of it.

It was hard. I was anxiously staring at the door. It opened just to reveal a classmate I do not personally know. I huffed and turned to my friends. I couldn't take it anymore.

"Why did Y/N not show up?" Normali asked. I smiled to myself. Saved by the bell. I thought.

"We're gonna be partnering for a task and I told her we'd meet here." She added. "Oh yeah I saw her at the hallway earlier holding hands with Lauren while walking towards her car. It seemed serious because she averted her gaze from me which is so unlike her." Dinah casually said while playing with her pen. "Oh, Lauren huh." Normani quickly butt-in and raised her eyebrows while looking at me.

"Well, let's not get into their business. It's better that way so she'd stop getting far up my ass cause it's really annoying." I said with a huff.

Normani gave me a knowing look and I raised my eyebrow at her. "What?"

"Nothing." She continued to chuckle

What the hell?

---------------------------------------------------------------

The short-timed heaven of this hell day finally came. Lunch. Dinah, Ally, Normani, and I are at our usual table eating grabbing our foods and talking about stuff until Normani pointed Y/N.. and Lauren.

She was holding her waist protectively. They sat at Y/N and her friends' usual table and began talking. I guess I was looking at them for too long because I didn't notice Austin was trying to get my attention. "Camila" He said while waving his hand. I quickly averted my gaze from Y/N and smiled at Austin. "Atleast you already pronounced her name right" Ally whispered but it didn't went unnoticed by me.

Ally and Normani was never fond of Austin, they kinda think he was too cocky and they told me he bullies a lot. But I didn't see him doing it so why would I believe it right? They were just trying to shut Austin down cause they really liked Y/N.

I was interrupted on my train of thoughts when Austin kissed my cheek and said his goodbye to go to his jock friends. I blushed slightly but when I saw Y/N all giggly while putting her hands on Lauren's shoulder, my mood immediately changed so I decided to just think about the cheek kiss that Austin did but I failed at it as I still kept on glancing at them every second. I gave up and excused myself to the girls and I went to the bathroom.

I rested my hands on the sink while looking at the mirror and sighed deeply. Do I still have feelings for Y/N? Can't be. We already broke up a year ago and I'm genuinely building a connection with Austin now. I kept on thinking for five minutes until I gave up and just thought that maybe I was just weirded out because Y/N didn't bother me today.
