~Well Hell sees her shadow in my backseat
And her friends are standing right in front of me
World wide from Cimarron to turkey
Open up said Everybody loves me
And you don't have to make a sound
Cause they got what you need
Oh Oh Oh Oh
God love all the people that have warned you
God love all your sentimental virtue
Eight balls with the takers that'll make you
Lay cards with the lovers that'll hate you~
***Eden Hall High School, San Clemente, CA***
Camila's P.O.V.
Same shit different day, don't get me wrong I love high school. I'm one of the most popular girls in school; I'm the Associated Student Body President. I get what I want and I do what I want, but hey, I've got my eye on the prize…in less than six months I'm out of this joint.
I'm walking down the hall with two of my best friends, also part of my cabinet, Normani who is the Vice President and Ally, Treasurer…I love these girls.
"Hey guys, I gotta grab a book from my locker really quick before we head to the committee meeting!" Mani said as Ally and I stood by her locker chitchatting away.
"Mila." Ally perks both eyebrows, prompting me to slightly peek over my shoulder.
Oh gosh, here they come, some of the jocks, yeah we're all popular and sometimes run in the same circles when we party, ugh but all the guys here are just STRAIGHT STUPID.
"DAAAMMNNNNN Cabello, looking good prez!" Ryan from the baseball team hollered loud enough for everyone to hear, right before he whistled.
I just rolled my eyes, turning my attention back to Ally. "Ryan seems to be fond of you." She giggled.
"Ha, yeah….NO!"
"Why not? Oh yeah that's right, Camila Cabello doesn't DO feelings." She said teasingly.
Normani laughed, still looking in her locker, "that's right, Camila the milk dud, sweet on the inside…poison on the inside, WATCH OUT BOYS!"
We all laughed, "I prefer the ice queen." I said jokingly.
All of it was true. I've dated, but I've just never felt anything for anyone, I don't know…maybe I'm just set in my ways. Six months and I'm off to college, six months. Besides, being YOUNG AND IN LOVE has never appealed to; it's always seemed like a stupid concept.
~Cause you don't have to make a sound
They got what you need
What you need
Like you say
Oh my!
Feels just like I don't try
Looks so good I might die
All I know is everybody loves me
Get down,
Swaying to my own sound
Flashes in my face now
All I know is everybody loves me
Everybody loves me~
My eyes began to wander as Ally continued to speak; I obviously wasn't listening. My brown eyes locked onto bright green ones down the hall, a smile plastered across her face. How long has she been staring at me? I can feel my lips pull to my eyes. LAUREN. She looks lovely today. Did I just use the word LOVELY?
"Uhhh, Mila, who are you smiling at?" I abruptly broke eye contact, my attention turning to Ally who had a questioning look on her face.
"No one," I let out nervously…What the HECK!
Normani slammed her locker shut, THANK THE GOOD LORD, causing both of us to look at her, "alright, lets go!"
I took my phone out as we walked down the hall…
To Beautiful Eyes 3: caught you staring…BUSTED! ;)
~BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ~
Frm Beautiful Eyes 3: You caught me…if you'd like to put some handcuffs on me and punish me, I'd be fine with that.
I walked right into that one, hmm…this is much easier face-to-face, she was speechless last night.
WHAT ARE WE DOING!
To Beautiful Eyes 3: You couldn't handle it.
~BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ~
Frm Beautiful Eyes 3: Try me and find out.
SHIT. I could feel the heat push through my cheeks.
We sat around a table that seated about eight of us on the dance committee. Ally, Normani and I were talking amongst ourselves, waiting for the rest of the members when our gazes suddenly turned to Britney who had slammed her books on the table next to Normani. Britney and her friend Sarah sat down and I couldn't help but overhear what she was ranting about, key word RANTING…she was pretty loud.
"Can you believe that Sarah, she just stood me up last night!" Britney's tone was angry.
"Lauren hasn't texted or talked to you since?" Sarah asked.
"Not since yesterday, when she said she was coming over…ugh!" Britney rolled her eyes, "I Bet she was with that slut Tracy!"
NOPE. Why am I smiling to myself right now?
"You think?" Sarah looked shocked.
"Hmm, or maybe that whore Heather." Britney said maliciously as she narrowed her eyes.
ERRRR…INCORRECT! PLEASE TRY AGAIN. Now I just want to laugh.
"I don't know, she could've at least texted me back last night." Britney said irritated.
Actually Lauren was with ME last night, is what I wanted to say, she was speaking so loudly, but who am I to kick someone when they're already down. THAT'S RIGHT, Lauren was with me last night. We ended up talking all night and falling asleep in the middle of our conversation; I've missed nights like that with her. It was a little different I'll admit that, I can't quite put my finger on it, but I remember waking up for a few minutes in the middle of the night and we were spooning, more specifically, I was the BIG SPOON and she was the LITTLE SPOON. I chuckled at the thought. You'd think Lauren would be the big spoon, but NOOO, she's actually a big baby, especially when she sleeps.
"Okay, so it looks like everyone's here." Normani said grabbing my attention.
"Right!" I said with a smile, "Ally, take it away." I have no idea what we're talking about, snap out of it.
Ally beamed, "okay so it's decided, this Winter Formal, it will be athlete's choice, since it's scheduled after the lacrosse home coming game." She smiled, "I mean everyone is welcome to come as they please, but I've already told the athletes that it's their choice and we'll be honoring them at the Winter Formal and that's it."
I began to gather my things, "Hey Camila," Britney and her friend approached me.
"Yeah?" I said holding my books to my chest.
"You and Lauren are good friends right? Do you happen to have any idea who she's asking to Formal?"
"Sorry, no." I walked past her and to my locker before heading to the lunch tables.
~Well I
Play the music don't stop till I turn gray
Stars like John Sousa never fade,
He had a beautiful child, named her Desiree
Hope I'll remember the good things that I'll never say
Cause you don't have to make a sound
They got what you need
Like you say
Oh my!
Feels just like I don't try
Looks so good I might die
All I know is everybody loves me
Get down,
Swaying to my own sound
Flashes in my face now
All I know is everybody loves me
Everybody loves me
Everybody
Everybody
Oh
Everybody
Everybody~
We sat at our usual table during lunch, Normani, Ally, myself and few of our other friends. We talked about anything and everything. Lunch was probably my favorite, I mean not only did I get to be with most of my friends, but it involved food! What's not to like?
"Millaaaaa," Normani began, "Kevin from the lacrosse team is on his way over here and my boyfriend told me he has a thing for you."
I gave her my GROSS look.
Ugh, I really don't like Kevin. He's a jackass and has probably slept with the majority of the girls in this school.
"Hey Camila," his tone smug, "I was wondering if you-"
"NO." I said not even bothering to look at him.
"You don't even know what I was going to ask you."
I finally turned my head up towards him, "and yet my answer is still NO."
~Don't need my health
Got my name and got my wealth I
Stare at the sun
Just for kicks all by myself I
Lose track of time
So I might be past my prime
But
I'm feeling oh so good
YEAH!~
Lauren's P.O.V.
I sat at the lunch table with my teammates, my thoughts drifting to the brown-eyed girl. Camz looked so cute today, more like sexy cute. I love her bows…how could I NOT stare at her. Yeah she caught me; I really don't care.
"Laur, who you asking to Formal?" my best friend Dinah asked, sitting across from me, the rest of our teammates hovered around in their own conversations.
I've spent most of high school messing around with girls that DON'T matter, my eyes scanned the lunch area, searching for the brown-eyed girl, I don't know, maybe I want more.
"I haven't really thought about it yet." I'm pretty sure I'm thinking about it right NOW.
We were interrupted by the slamming of a lunch tray on the table, "Camila Cabello is such an uptight bitch!" Kevin said nastily.
I could feel my blood boil, my green eyes meeting his, "what did you just say?"
"Did I not say it loud enough?" His voice mocking, "Cabello is a bitch. She probably hasn't had good dick in awhile, that's why she's so uptight."
WOW THIS GUY WANTS TO FUCKING DIE.
I quickly stood up and got in his face.
"Shit." I heard Dinah whisper from her seat.
"Take it back." I rolled my left hand into a fist, the other pushing his shoulder.
"Are you crazy Jauregui?" He glared.
"Yeah," I pushed him with both hands, "I'm a little fucking crazy, asshole! Now take it back!"
"Why the fuck do you care so much about that bitch."
YUP, GOING IN FOR MURDER.
~PUNCH~
Next thing I knew I was in the nurse's office laying down as I heard the door squeaking open.
"So you thought punching a guy, almost twice your size was a good idea?"
I slowly propped myself up, my eyes meeting concerned brown ones, "he deserved it."
"Here I thought everybody LOVED me, " she said sarcastically as she approached me; cupping my face, "let me see..." She observed my face.
"Aww Lo, your lip," she said biting her bottom lip, lightly touching my slightly swollen lip.
THAT BOTTOM LIP IS GOING TO KNOCK ME OUT AGAIN, just looking at her bite her lip…she's so beautiful, so cute when she's worried.
I flinched at contact, I wasn't sure if I flinched because it hurt or if I flinched at the feel of her finger on my lip.
"Aww," she poked her lips out, smiling, "I'm sorry."
"I'm fine." Our eyes locked on each other as she cupped my face with both her hands, her thumb attempting to lightly caress my swollen lip once again.
I didn't flinch this time, "does it hurt?"
I nodded.
She pouted, her big brown eyes taking over me.
"Is there anything I can do?"
Hhhmmm.
"Well," I breathed out slowly, "you know what makes boo boos feel better." I could feel my lips pulling to my eyes as her brown eyes squinted.
"What?" she asked softly, squeezing in between my legs, her breath on my lips.
"KISSES."
~Oh my!
Feels just like I don't try
Looks so good I might die
All I know is everybody loves me
Get down,
Swaying to my own sound
Flashes in my face now
All I know is everybody loves me
Everybody loves me!
Don't you know you wanna
Everybody
Everybody
Everybody
WHOOOOA! YEAH!~
