First Comes Love...

Chapter 44

Next Day

Austin woke up and walked to school. When he got there he didn't bother look for his friends or Camila. He went straight over to Karla, "Hey Karla."

Shw turned around in shock, "Uh, hey Austin. What's up?" She asked nervously.

He shrugged, "Nothing much. But I was serious on wanting to get to know you."

"Oh. Ok then. Well what do you want to know?" She started as she cleared her throat, "I'm sorry that I seem extra hella awkward. I just don't know how to talk to people like you."

"People like me?" He questioned.

"Yeah. The popular kids. You know," she said as if it were obvious.

"Me? Popular? I'm not so sure about that," he said with a laugh.

"Oh please. You, Camila, Alex, and Normani are the most popular kids here," she stated.

"I don't think so. No one even talks to us or sits by us or breathes near us for that matter," Austin refuted.

"That's because don't no one want to mess with you or offend you or even attempt to do so," Karla said with a laugh.

"Hmmm. Curiouser and curiouser..."

Karla stopped laughing, "Wait. Are you seriously saying you didn't know you were popular?"

"Pretty much. I guess you learn something new everyday," he said with a smirk.

Karla rolled her eyes and laughed. "You're so stupid."

"I know," here said with a smile.

The bell rang signaling class.

"Well I'll see you later," she said with a wave as she walked away.

"See ya."

He turned around and saw Camila with... ugh... Nick. She was staring directly at him. Her eyes glossy as if laced with tears, threatening to spill out.

But why? Why is she doing this? She's the one who wanted this. Right? To be left alone. Not with me. Believe it when I say all I want to do is  nothing more than hug Camila until she's happy but I know if I'm gonna move on from this confusing relationship I'm gonna have to stay away... He thought as he walked away and into class.

Wow. He moved on fast. With one of my so called friends to! It- it- it hurts. It shouldn't but it does. Maybe... Maybe this is for the best, she thought as Austin walked away and buried her face into the side of Nicks arm.
