Am I Gay?

Chapter 14

Camila's POV

I walk into school to find Lauren up against her locker talking to another boy. Again. I just roll my eyes and walk to my locker down the hall. I open it up to find the books I need until I hear footsteps and sense someone behind me. I slam my locker closed and turn around to find Austin with a smirk on his face. His eyes quickly look up and I know he was staring at my ass.

"Hey." Austin says.

"Hi." I reply causally.

"How are you?" He asks.

"I'm good, you?"

I look at Lauren to see her staring at me. She looks pissed.

"Great, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go out tonig-" he starts but I cut him off.

"Look Austin, I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression at the party. I was a little bit drunk and didn't know what I was doing. I'm just not interested." I tried to sound as nice as possible.

"Okay. Let me know if you change your mind." He says and walks off but then turns around. "You have my number by the way, you asked for it at the party." He winks and continues to walk away.

As soon as he leaves Lauren pops in front of me.

"Hey." Lauren greets just like Austin.

"Hey." I smile but she doesn't reciprocate.

"What did Austin want?" She asks.

"Oh, he was-" I was about to explain but she cuts me off.

"You know what, never mind, I don't even want to know."

"Okay...." I laugh, not understanding her behavior.

"So Camz listen, I have to go on a date with Dylan tonight." She says calmly like it's no big deal.

"You have to?" I scoff angrily.

"Yeah, or else people with start to wonder." She says. "You're not mad are you?"

"No, of course not. I-I actually have a date with Austin tonight so..." I say.

"Oh... Ok." She says nonchalantly but I know she is flipping the fuck out inside.

"Bye." I say coldly and start to walk away but Lauren grasps onto my wrist.

"Camz, don't be such a bitch, it's just a date." Did she just call me a bitch. God. I want to punch her face sometimes.

"Just a date?! Like you're not gonna fuck Dylan. That's the only reason you ever go on dates!" I start to raise my voice. Luckily everybody has already gone to class.

She doesn't say anything, just lets go of my wrist and stares down at her feet. And that's all I need to know.

"You know what Lauren, you should have fun tonight. I know I will." I say with a wink and walk away, leaving Lauren to deal with herself.

C: Actually I'd love to hang out tonight Austin. I text him and he replies immediately.

A: Awesome. I'll see you after school.

I get by choir with out even looking at Lauren but now it's science and I don't know how I'll be able to handle myself that close to her.

I walk into the classroom and manage to walk past Lauren without looking at her.

So far she hasn't turned around to talk to me which I am actually thankful for because I don't think I'd be able to have an actual conversation with her without ripping her head off.
