Behind The Mask (A Camren Fanfic)

Chapter 7

The girls sat in the living room as they ate the pizza. Lauren sat on the floor with Camila while Dinah and Normani sat on the couch. They were laughing at a story that Dinah told as they played cards and Camila blushed in embarrassment. Camila looked up and saw Lauren looking at her.

"So Camila, what's going on with you and Austin?" Dinah asked.

Camila looked at Lauren before she looked at her best friend, "Nothing's going on," she said.

"But he asked you out, didn't he? And you said yes?

"I said maybe," Camila corrected.

"Do you like him?" Lauren asked as she took a sip of soda.

"I don't know. He seems nice but he has a temper," Camila said with a shrug.

"Girl, just say no," Normani said.

"It's not that... I just... I want a guy who would treat me like a princess.. I don't know.. Austin seems like the kind of guy that dates and dump," Camila said.

"Would you ever consider dating a girl?" Dinah asked suddenly and Lauren almost choked.

"I'm not sure. I don't think so," Camila said.

Lauren looked away.

"Not that I have any problems with..." Camila quickly said but then trailed off as she saw Lauren's face.

"I'm just saying that.. I haven't thought about that before."

Lauren looked up and gave the brunette a small smile.

"Alright, I'm done," Dinah said as she tossed the cards on the table.

"Me too," Normani said.

"So it's just me and you, Cabello," Lauren said.

"What's it gonna be?"

Camila tossed the cards and crossed her arms as she rolled her eyes. Lauren chuckled as she gathered the cards and shuffled it.

"Another?" Lauren asked.

"Nah, I should head home," Normani said.

"Me too. I'm swamped," Dinah said.

"Lauren?" Normani asked.

"Nah, I have my own ride," Lauren said.

Normani and Dinah hugged Camila goodbye. Normani hugged Lauren goodbye while Dinah gave her a nod. After the two girls left, it was just her and Lauren.

"Believe it or not, I had fun today," the green eyed girl said.

"Me too."

"I'll see you next week?"

"See you then."

Lauren gave her a smile before she walked out of the door. Camila took a deep breath before closing the door and headed to her room.

Austin opened the door and was surprised to find Lauren there.

"I'll do it," Lauren said.

"What?"

"I'll help you," she repeated.

"Really?"

"But if you hurt her, I'll come after you," Lauren said.

"Deal," Austin said with a smirk.

Camila opened her locker on Monday morning to find a card inside. She picked it up and opened it.

Will you go out with me this Friday?
