~A sky blue limo rolls past me on the street outside
And I saw your face like some sort of neon dream
And of all the cars and the bars and the stars on Sunset Boulevard
I saw you and you couldn't tell me what that means
Or what I'd seen~
Seventy-two hours, that's all it took. Seventy-two hours for her world to be turned upside down, but in a good way. Seventy-two hours to make the BEST-worst decision of her life and seventy-two hours to fall head over heels for the unexpected.
Seventy-two hours and now she was HERE in the principal's corridors, which felt more like a jail cell and she was awaiting her sentence.
Breathe Camila; breathe.
~Oh but when it hit me
It was not the same thing
I had missed it all like tears in the rain
Finally I was seeing
Everything so clearly
Took what I'd been thinking
And washed it away~
Camila leaned against the wall; head down at first, in the presence of the principal, about to be expelled. She looked around the room that seemed to be caving in with every second that passed. She could hear her heart pounding louder and louder. Her eyes made their way to her best friend Dinah who was standing next to her other best friend Ally, holding the shorter girl, comforting her. This was definitely the most trouble they've all EVER been in and it was a week from graduation. Camila's body was tense as her nervous, brown orbs continued to look around, landing on her cheer co-captain, Normani, who was whispering something to her porcelain skin best friend next to her.
Gosh she's beautiful.
~I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming~
Camila's body instantly began to relax as her eyes scanned the beautiful girl just a few feet away from her. The way she wore her beanie a little slanted as her dark chocolate locks flowed down her leather jacket, the way her half smile appeared, even though they were in trouble and the way her eyelashes fluttered, making her sparkling emerald eyes even more so hypnotic than they already were. Even though she was standing in the principal's corridors, in trouble, it was hard for Camila to regret the last seventy-two hours, how could she looking at the girl that showed her how to live.
It was worth it, Camila thought to herself as she breathed out, MORE than worth it because I got to have HER. Who would've thought the rebel of the school, someone that's never really crossed my mind the last four years would be MY FIRST.
~Well the streetlights flickered
And the hot air sighed
The conversation it stopped on a dime
A cruise missile flying into this little
Land of these naive dreams of mine
And I was told don't speak with your mouth open
But I couldn't help it cause you had chosen
As I watched that sky blue limo drive away~
Lauren slowly turned her head away from her best friend that was whispering to her; the right side of her red-pinkish lips pulling to her eyes as they locked with lustrous brown ones that admired all of her; she felt it. It was hard for the rebel of the school to comprehend the fact that in the last seventy-two hours she had fallen for THE head cheerleader, a goody two-shoes, hair bow wearing, 4.2 GPA, perfect attendance brunette across from her. Her heart on the other hand didn't have to HAVE a reason, it just knew, looking into brown eyes; it was definitive.
~Oh but when it hit me
It was not the same thing
I had missed it all like tears in the rain
Finally I was seeing
Everything so clearly
Took what I'd been thinking
And washed it away~
Her half smile turned into a full-blown smile reminiscing about what transpired last night. Her green eyes narrowed at the brown-eyed beauty's lips that were poked out slightly. It quickly took her back to last night, warm, soft lips dancing along with her own, a sweet scent surrounding her, messy dark locks spread across the white pillows, fingertips clutching onto the sheets, heavy breaths in between kisses and the younger girl's satisfied moan that she couldn't get out of her head.
Four years, she's been around my best friend for four years and I'm only seeing her NOW; this has been the best seventy-two hours of my life. Lauren thought to herself as she smiled at the tanned, caramel-skin girl not too far from her.
~I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming~
Camila felt her lips, which were poking out, curve into a smile as her soft, brown eyes continued to adoringly observe the porcelain-skin girl, tracing every smooth curve on her body the younger brunette kissed last night. Her thoughts returning to last night as she bit her bottom lip. She remembered vividly how Lauren had been so sweet, gentle and patient with her. She remembered the way the green-eyed rebel cupped her face, slowly pulling her in as she looked intensely into the depths of her eyes, capturing every feeling the brown-eyed brunette felt with her smoky green eyes before slightly brushing her full, luscious lips on the less experienced girl. Camila felt tingles run up and down her body thinking about how the older brunette gently kissed her neck as if she was the most fragile thing she's ever had in her arms, how she tucked a stray hair behind her ear after laying her down gently on the bed, how the green-eyed girl used her index finger to run against her collarbone and down her arms causing goose bumps to appear, how she kept asking if she was okay and if she was sure, only wanting to go at a pace that was comfortable for the younger girl. She was consumed with memories from last night and all it took was seventy-two hours.
~A little skin
A little money
A little taste
A little honey
A little white lie
But if you love it
Tell me who am I to judge?~
"Miss Cabello!" Principal Teding yelled, causing the younger brunette to break eye contact, "are you listening to me?" She simply nodded up and down; no words came out of her mouth. "THIS was found in your jacket pocket," he held up a bag of marijuana.
"It's NOT mine!" Camila exclaimed, taking a step forward towards his desk.
"Mr. Teding, with all do respect, how could you believe that's even Camila's? I mean look at her." Lauren gestured towards the girl wearing a bow as she tried to reason with the principal, glistening green eyes meeting vulnerable brown ones.
You're OKAY Camz, you're okay.
"The evidence is pretty incriminating Miss Jauregui." Camila shot Lauren a half smile as if to say thanks for trying. "If you don't have a reasonable explanation and no one else comes forward, I'm sorry, but I'll have to report you." He said shaking his head. "I know you have a full scholarship to Columbia." Camila's eyes grew wide as she felt her dreams threatened. "Admissions won't be happy about this."
This CAN'T be happening! She thought as her heartbeat raced, this CAN'T be happening!
SEVENTY-TWO HOURS EARLIER…
~I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming~
