The New Girl (Camren)

Chapter 20

Camila's POV

The next day at school I spent time with Lauren during lunch and also after school we hungout before our group jam session.

I was relieved that Dinah agreed to allowing the other girls to join us. I had made a list of some songs we could possibly try out and have fun with.

Lauren was over my house because she came home on my bus. We spent an hour talking about the most random topics before I brought up a more personal subject.

"How were your past relationships?" I asked Lauren curiously.

"I don't know. I have never been physically abused or anything, but somehow I always get cheated on or my heart broken. It sucks," she looked down at her shoes avoiding eye contact with me.

"I wish I could relate, but the closest thing I've had to a relationship is going on omegle and talking to random guys with my screen covered," I laughed.

"Wow Camz, that's some serious stuff," she joked.

"I think it's terrible that people have cheated on you and I want to let you know now that I will never do that. You don't have to worry, I want you to trust me," I initiated our hands to meet as she intertwined our fingers.

"I know and I would never do that either. I'm glad I don't have to worry about that now," Lauren smiled.

She stared into my eyes and her beautiful green orbs basically hypnotized me. I leaned forward before hearing the door creek open, causing us both to jump up and stand.

"Hi girls. Everything ok? You look a little startled," my mom asked confused.

"Yeah everything's fine mom. We're gonna go up to my room because we have to leave in a few minutes to go to Dinah's house," I answered casually.

My mom nodded her head silently before entering the kitchen. I could tell by her facial expression that she was still a bit puzzled. We ran up the stairs and then into my room, closing the door behind us.

Lauren began to approach me with the cutest smirk on her face.

"No, Lauren. My mom is right downstairs and that was a close one before. You'll just have to wait," I suggested giggling.

Lauren pouted and made a sad puppy face.

"Don't do that. It makes me so sad. Please smile, Lolo," I almost begged.

"Wait what? Did you just say Lolo? Is this make my nickname, now? Did you finally think of one?" She asked happily.

"Yeah, I guess. If you like it..I just thought of it right now. I kind of just said it out of nowhere wihout thinking to be honest," I confessed.

"I love it. Call me Lolo if u want," she smiled brightly.

"Lauren, stop being so pretty. I have to grab my guitar and then we can head over to Dinah's."

Lauren's POV

"I'm not pretty. At all. You are Camz," I glanced around her room.

It was much different than mine, but I admired the Ed Sheeran posters and new flat screen tv that was just taken out of the box. I couldn't believe someone like Camila thought I was pretty. I don't think there's anyone more gorgeous than her to be honest. 

She grabbed her acoustic guitar and we jogged down the stairs as she insisted I was prettier than her. We both agreed to disagree knowing her mom was right downstairs and then we got into her mom's car. The whole ride to Dinah's house she played Ariana Grande's new album and sang a long, not missing a single lyric. 

We arrived at Dinah's house and headed inside eagerly. I had no idea what to expect and it was actually quite exciting. What would we sound like as a group with only a guitar to back our voices? Would it even sound good?

I opened the door for Camila and allowed her to step inside in front of me knowing Dinah leaves her doors unlocked.

"Yo. What's up?" Dinah greeted us.

"Nothing. Are the other girls here?" I asked as I looked around.

"Yeah, they are in my room. Did you bring the list of songs Camila?"

"Yes. The list is in my bag. Let's go upstairs...I can't wait,"  Camila jumped up and down.

We walked up the stairs and found Normani and Ally singing along to Red by Taylor Swift. It sounded amazing and I wish they had kept going even if they saw us enter the room.

"Hey ya'll. We were trying Red by Taylor Swift," Ally smiled.

"Yeah. Do you guys want to try and seperate parts for everyone? Maybe we can try it after," Normani added.

"Oh my god! Yes! That song was on my list," Camila replied excited.

We all picked the parts that we thought would suit our voice the best and Camila looked up the chords for guitar. 

"Ok. Let's try this. 1, 2, 3 ,4," Normani counted us in.

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all

Ally sang the first verse and everyone followed after with their specific parts and harmonies.

It sounded like perfection and as soon as we finished, everyone began to clap and cheer. 

"That sounded so beautiful," Ally spoke first.

Everyone agreed and shared their own comments and we started to try to figure out our next song. I had the biggest smile on my face because I was able to have fun while doing my favorite thing in the world with my favorite people, especially Camila. 

We finally picked American by Lana Del Rey, which was my suggestion and started to pick parts. 

Whenever Camila started to sing, I would get chills and she would smile at the sight of them. I could not be anymore happy and I thinks she would agree as well.

I could not help myself from smiling the whole time, but I was also nervous. I had no idea if anyone was suspicious about Camila and I always hanging out by ourselves.
