Laurens Secrets

Part 4

Dear diary,

Gotta write a letter to my heart. Ask the hard questions...like...I dunno...WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK WERE YOU THINKING, DUDE?

Lauren grabbed her books and closed her locker, letting out a soft sigh before she looked up.

"Ah! I don't have any money-- oh. Hey."

"Hey. I know this sounds kinda weird, but do you wanna hang out? We could catch a movie after school." Lauren stared at the slightly smaller girl, her eyes narrowed with suspicion. Camila wasn't lying, this wasn't some stupid joke. That...or she was just a really good liar.

"You're...serious?" Her voice was faint, weak even. Almost as weak as it was on that first night. A small shiver ran down her spine as she tried to force herself to think of something else. "Stop thinking about the kiss, Lauren."

Camila nodded before taking out a small piece of paper and writing something on it, she gave it to Lauren who shoved it in her pocket. "You got guts to be asking me out," Lauren let out a mental cheer as Camila's cheeks became a dark red color, "Pick me up at 7. Wear something casual, but don't even think about showing up in ripped jeans. I will literally kill you."

Camila could only give her a nod.

"One other thing," Lauren leaned down close enough to whisper in Camila's ear, she could practically feel the heat radiating off of the smaller girl's rapidly growing blush, "If you tell anyone about this...I'll fucking ruin you."

She pulled away with an innocent smile before turning and walking to class, the temptation to scream and shout out her excitement following her for the rest of the day.

"You're gay."

Lauren opened her mouth to protest but Lucy quickly shushed her before she could defend herself.

"You like this girl, right? And you just recently admitted to kissing her at Ty's party. What does that make you?"

"...Gay."

"I still don't understand why you would want to go after some nerd. You are the most popular girl in school, Lauren, you could have anyone." Lucy mumbled out.

Lauren rubbed the back of her neck nervously. "I know that, Lucy, I know that too well. The weird thing about her is...she doesn't look at me like all the others."

"The others were horny dudes looking for a quick fuck."

"Good point. I think I might try to hold her hand, see if she'll let me, but other than that I want this date to be casual. I'm sure she wants the same thing."

Lucy took a seat on the edge of Lauren's bed, giving her friend a gentle pat on the cheek. "Just don't be a douche."

"That might be a challenge."

"Just don't be a complete dick."

"I'll try."

Camila showed up exactly at 7. Her hair was in a loose bun. It was adorable and made Camila's eyes easier to see, it made Lauren's heart flutter. She wore a plain red hoodie with some black jeans, a pair of old sneakers completed her very casual, albeit a little lazy, outfit.

Lauren actually went through the process of curling her hair. The outcome must've looked good because as soon as Camila saw it she became a blushing, stuttering mess. Lauren decided to wear a simple blue crop top with white jeans with some blue flats to match, she would've worn heels but she had a hard time walking in them. She also decided against wearing her usual makeup, instead only applying a dark blue lipstick. Camila made sure to compliment her on it.
