~Make it stop
Sound so good I just can't take no more
Turn it down, turn it up
I don't know, I don't know (know)
But don't stop, don't move
Just keep it there (right there)
Keep it right there, keep it right there
I wanna put you on repeat, play you everywhere I go, e-everywhere I go, play you everywhere I go
Put you on repeat, play you everywhere I go, e-everywhere I go, play you everywhere I go~
Camila's P.O.V.
I looked at the helmet that was handed to me and was about to place it on my head when I made the mistake of glancing in front of me once again. Glistening emerald eyes locking with mine, sending electricity throughout my body causing my breaths to quicken. She straddled the bike, sitting up, arms crossed resting on the handles as one hand held onto her helmet, her stare completely impaled me, I couldn't move. She sat on the bike so perfectly, almost as if an extension of her body, did the bike fit her? Or did she fit the bike…that I wasn't so sure of, probably a little bit of both, all I know is the sight in front of me is enthralling.
DON'T STOP, whatever she was doing to me, I DON'T KNOW but I never wanted it to stop.
Her lips began to move, "Camila," she extended her hand, grabbing my arm, I could feel my heart pumping a little faster, "are you nervous?" her face showing concern, "I promise you," her eyes narrowed, turning her green eyes a shade darker, "I've been riding bikes my whole life, you'll be safe," she squeezed my arm, her lips pulling to a half smile.
I lowered the helmet to my side, "your whole life?" I managed to let out.
She chuckled, her pearly whites making an appearance; "I started on dirt bikes and now this."
"Why?" I tilted my head, my eyes focusing in, even more than before, at the porcelain skin girl in front of me, "why bikes?"
She looked to the sky running her fingers through her milk chocolate locks before bringing her gaze back to me, "I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you've driven a car, yes?" she let out sarcastically.
I let out a mild laugh and nodded.

"When you make any turn in a car," she gestured with her hand, "your body leans due to force and gravity of the earth, it's just the way it is," she paused in thought, a slight smile creeping on her face, it was subtle, but it was there for a second, "when you're on a bike, you don't LEAN into a turn, you're body actually stays upright because you essentially become a part of the bike," she shook her head slightly, her eyes bright, filled with passion, I was engulfed by them, "in life, for the most part, we LEAN to the world, kneeling at it's command, to gravity, to force, but on a bike, the world KNEELS, it leans to the bike, I guess what I'm trying to say is when I'm riding my bike, it feels as if the world revolves around me."
I could listen to her all day; hear that husky voice, that was a little softer now, ALL DAY.
I know I have a full-blown smile spread across my face, I want to will it away, but I can't, not after THAT! WOW. What the heck do I even say to that? Who says things like THAT?
My heart, it was beating, BEATING SO LOUD…I felt it.
She reached out, "hop on," I placed my hand in hers, "I'll show you what I mean." I hopped on the bike as I wrapped my arms around her tightly, leaning against her body. "Don't let go."
Don't say that…I'm afraid I won't ever let go.
~Don't stop,
Turn it on, turn it up, make it louder
I don't want to miss a single thing,
I wanna hear every melody
B-b-b-b-beating
Beating so loud, you'd can feel it
B-b-b-b-beating, beating, beating
Beating for you
I wanna put you on repeat, play you everywhere I go, e-everywhere I go, play you everywhere I go
Put you on repeat, play you everywhere I go, e-everywhere I go, play you everywhere I go~
We arrived at my house and she was right, you don't LEAN to the world on a bike, the world leans to the bike. The pressure of the wind surrounding your body, the instant speed at your fingertips, the sense of being one with everything around you because you're so exposed, the freedom it comes with, the feeling of being alive, nothing like being in a car. Being on a bike you're bare to the natural elements and everything about it was exhilarating.
I got off the bike and took off my helmet as I watched her do the same, "I told you I'd get you home safely." She smiled, still on the bike as I stood inches in front of her.
"I never doubted you for a minute," I said playfully as I watched her roll her eyes.
"Yeah, you were SOOO quick to hop on." She chuckled.
All the noise subsided and all I could hear was the wind occasionally whistling, her smoldering green eyes demanding my attention, like they always seemed to. In this moment a bajillion questions seemed to speed through my mind…
What am I feeling?-Am I actually feeling SOMETHING?
Why is my heart beating so fast?
Why can't I find the words? –What words?
Why are her eyes so beautiful?-How do they hold me?
Why do I keep looking at her lips? Why do I have the urge to kiss her lips?
And then the questions stopped…
I WANT TO KISS HER LIPS.
"You okay," her hand landing on my arm snapped me from my thoughts.
"Huh," I shook my head, "yeah, sorry."
"It's getting pretty cold out here, you should probably head inside," her tone gentle, her face soft.
"That's probably a good idea," I pressed my lips together, "thank you," I handed her the helmet before turning around, walking towards my front door.
I continued to walk the few steps and I could feel her stare, she didn't start the bike so I knew she was looking at me. What happens now? I walk through my front door, go to school on Monday and then what; this can't be IT. Right?
I found myself turning around and I was right, her green eyes are on me, they narrowed, almost questioning why I turned around. "Lauren," she smiled, "um, maybe you could teach me next time, how to ride."
"I don't know Camila, I'm not sure if the world's ready for a bike-riding head cheerleader," she winked at me.
SHE WINKED AT ME.
"Well," I paused and I couldn't help but smile, "sometimes, things happen and we may not be ready for them, but they still happen, like they're supposed to."
WHAT DID I JUST SAY? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?
She tilted her head, scanning me, almost as if trying to figure me out, "have a good night Camila, I'll see you in class."
I lay awake on my bed. I couldn't sleep, how could I? I have no idea what's going on with me, I can't explain the feelings I'm having for a girl, not just any girl, my teacher, man do I know how to pick em! Or did she pick me? I don't know. I placed my pillow over my face as I groaned and all I could think about is how much I don't know.
"AS FOR ME, ALL I KNOW IS THAT I KNOW NOTHING."- Socrates.

"Okay class, just turn in your papers before you leave," her tone raspy as I watched her near the podium taking papers.
Everyone had left the auditorium by the time I got up to the podium to turn in my assignment, I made sure of it.
"Camila," she smiled holding the stack of assignments in one hand, the other across her body.
"Lauren." I smiled and wiggled my eyebrows.
"It's Ms. Jauregui." She perked an eyebrow.
"What!" I did a three sixty, looking around, "where? Is your mom here?" I said jokingly facing her once again, my brown eyes staring into the most captivating greens eyes, they were even more beautiful when she laughed-SHE WAS LAUGHING.
"That was pretty funny." She nodded, as she laughed some more.
"Well yeah, I'm pretty funny," I threw my hands up accidentally knocking the stack of papers out of her hand, "oh geez! I am so sorry!"
~Feel it all, Feel it all crashing down
I'm so lost, I'm so lost in your sound
Yeah, put this song on replay (put this song on) on replay
Listen to you all day, to you all day!~
I kneeled down and started to gather the papers one by one and she did the same. Eventually we gathered all the papers as we ended up in front of each other, still kneeling. I swallowed the nervousness in my throat and turned my gaze that was on the ground to the face in front of me, her green eyes brighter than ever, my heart began doing that thing again...beating all fast.
"I'm sorry for being such a klutz," I whispered under my heavy breaths, as my eyes remained locked on hers.
"It's fine," green holding every bit of me.
I inched closer, I was being drawn in and all I could do was inch closer…and closer. I closed my eyes as my heart's beat rapidly increased, my quivering lips closing the gap between us, slightly grazing hers…
~SMACK~
She quickly shot up at the sound of the door opening, breaking contact, and turning away as I stood up, my eyes following the porcelain skin girl.
"Mila!" I turned my attention near the door; Austin had just walked in.
"Austin," my tone surprised.
SHIT. What's he doing here?
"Hey baby, I wanted to walk you to practice," he smiled so sweetly.
I could feel green eyes drilling the side of my face.
And I feel like a complete asshole for multiple reasons.
"Yeah, I'll be right there," I mustered out a smile, "I just need to ask Ms. Jauregui a question."
"Alright," I'll be right outside.
I waited until the door closed behind him as I turned my attention back to Lauren; she was shuffling through papers.
"Lauren I-" I wasn't really sure what to say and the words stopped.
"Camila you should go." She said, her eyes still on the papers and all I wanted was for her to look at me, for those beautiful green eyes to look into mine.
I could feel it all crashing down and I was lost, completely lost in the sound of the silence. I just wanted to start all over again…I didn't know what to say.
