My Best Friend's Girlfriend (Camren)

Chapter 4

Lauren’s POV :

I drowsily followed Camila as she walked to different booths. She was having fun watching on how cotton candies are formed. I chuckled softly as I walked towards her....Seriously, she's like a little kid.

"Lolo, look it's so tempting." She beamed at me

I let out a sigh...I knew what to do every time she does that. "One Cotton Candy please." I said to the lady.

"Right away, girl" The lady smiled then looked at Camila then back at me.

"I'll just go look at that thing" Camila said pointing somewhere but I didn't bother to look.

"Yeah sure" I muttered. "Be sure to come back, Camz"

I heard no answers...I turned around and saw Camila skipping away. I let out a small laugh as I once again face the lady. The lady was smiling at me like she won a lottery or something.

"Girl like her sure does like sweet stuff." The lady said.

"Uh...sweet stuff..got that" I said while grabbing money from my wallet. I don't even listen to what she's blabbering about.

"You're a lucky young girl to have an energetic girlfriend like that" The lady said giving me a huge cotton candy.

"Uh yeah.." Then suddenly my eyes shot wide open "Wait she's not my---"

"I made the cotton candy larger so that you could share it with your girlfriend" The lady said then winked at me.

"No really...she's not my----"

"You're welcome" She grinned at me.

Camila came back with a fruit shake on her hand. "Lo, I bought you a fruit shake in retu-Woah...that's a large Cotton Candy" She giggled. "Thanks Lolo" she kissed my cheek, handed me the fruit shake then skipped away.

I looked at the lady and saw that she was raising her eyebrows in satisfaction. "You're indeed a lucky girl."

"Look, she's not my---"

"Don't pay...It's all on me. It's worth to see someone made her girlfriend happy." She smiled. "Go, you're girl needs you"

There was no point in protesting so I slowly thanked the lady then walked away. I spotted Camila sitting on the bench while eating her cotton candy. Lucky her, she looks happy. I silently sat beside her.

"Want some?" Camila said pointing at the Cotton candy.

"No thanks....I had enough of cotton candies for the day." I muttered then took a sip of the Fruit Shake. Hmm..It taste good.

"Well, more for me then" She began to ate the cotton candy. Woah...she's fast.

"Thanks for the Fruit shake by the way" I said while taking a sip.

"Nho Problemsh" She said then swallowed the cotton candy on her mouth.

I burst out laughing. She looked at me carefully studying my face. "What?" she said finally.

"N-N-Nothing" I continued laughing until water formed on my eyes.

"Lauren Michele Jauregui, What is it?!" she asked me annoyingly.

I slowly stopped laughing. "Didn't your parents teach you not to talk when your mouth is full?" I snickered.

"I'ts not my fault why the Cotton candy's swee--" Then she stopped. She stared blankly on the floor. Oh no...

"Is something wrong?" I asked hoping that it's not gonna happen again.

"Huh? Oh...nothing.. It's just." She looked at me with a smile on her face but there's a hint of sadness all over her eyes. "Austin used to call me sweet. It kinda makes me blush hard sometimes...but I like it whenever he said it."

Camila looked down then blushed. I smiled then gently patted her back. "No wonder he calls you sweet...You have a sweet personality. You made people smile with just you being you." I smiled then looked down as I started to realize what I just said.

Camila looked at me with a smile on her face and the sadness on her eyes fading. " Thanks Lo, you always made me feel better"

Suddenly I felt my heart skipped a beat. That's odd. I shooked the weirdness away and thought that maybe it's just nothing. Besides, Camila's my best friend. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard loud giggling...yet the voice seems so familiar.

"I really love it when the clown does that" the voice said giggling

"Maybe we'll go there next time" A guy said.

I stood up scratching my head and looked at a puzzled Camila who just finished her Cotton Candy. "Camz, Let's go."

"Hmm--kay" she chuckled. I was about turn around when Camila tripped over to some rock. Good thing my reflexes are quick and I just caught her in time. I put my arm around her waist for support.

"You really need to be careful, Clumsy Camzi" I teased.

"Look, I don't need your help Ms. Fancy Pants." she said.

"Lauren?" The voice from earlier said. I slowly looked back hoping my guess wasn't right. But then luck really wasn't mine.

"A-Ally?" I said weakly.

"Mila?!" My ex-girlfriend said. She ran to Camila's side then gave her a big squeeze. "I'm sorry about Austin, I mean I wasn't there for you. It's just that I'm with my grandparents at Texas and when I got back that's when I heard the news." She said giving another hug to Camila.

"It's okay." Camila smiled. "Besides Lauren was with me all the time so...no worries."

"Oh...that's good to know" She said eyeing my hand holding to Camila's hand. Then a guy hugged her from behind making my chest hurt.

"Mind if you introduce me to your friends?" The tall guy said.

"Oh..right" Ally said "Guys, this is Troy my boyfriend and Troy, these are my friends Camila and....Lauren"

Camila and Troy hugged while I just shaked his hand awkwardly.

"So Lauren.." Ally started. "I never knew you and Mila are dating."

It's like a splash of cold water hit hard on my face. Camila was about to protest but then I've got something on my mind.

"Y-Yeah...hard to believe right" I said trying to ignore Camila's protesting glares. I looked at Camila with a Just-go-with-it-I'll-explain-later look. She just rolled her eyes then squeezed my hand.

"Wow...that's great." Ally said "Since when?"

"L-Last week" Camila said glaring at me then she looked at Ally and Troy with sweetness back on her face.

"Woah...It's just I never knew you moved on so fast" Ally said while linking her arms on Troy. "It was very nice to see you two but we really need to get going. See you lovebirds around." she said then walked away with Troy.

As Ally and her so called "boyfriend" was out of sight, Camila broke free of my hand and point her finger to my chest.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Camila screamed frantically.

"YES I'M CRAZY!! I'm crazy for Ally and I want her back" I blurted. " All I need is you to be my fake girlfriend that's all...maybe she'll get jealous and realizes that she really belongs to me...Not to him."

"But why me?!"

"Because you're the only one I trust" I placed my hand on her shoulder. She looked at me with one eyebrow raised and brushed my hands off. She leaned over to my ear and held my hand.

"You owe me, big time" She whispered then gripped my hand tighter making me groan in pain.

"O-Oww" I said shaking my hands off her grip. "Camz?"

"Let's just go somewhere, Elephant" Camila said. "Tell me what to do with your little scheme to get your girl" she smirked.

"Sure" I grinned.

Maybe what I felt earlier was because of Ally being somewhere nearby...cause it can't be with Camila. I'm sure of it...I think. Ugghh...I'm just so Confused.
