I confronted our teacher after that incident at Camila's house. I asks if there's any chance in switching partners. She just said that It's all final since some of the students had already finished their projects. So, since then I avoided Camila at all costs I always comes to class as the same the teacher enter the room and I'm always the first one out of the room and I even avoided going to some place where I know she might be there. That was my routine for a month until she corners me somewhere where I least expected her to be.

"Lauren.." someone said I jolted up from where I sat cross-legged on the floor frightened to hear someone. "Hey.. I'm sorry to scare you" she apologized while holding my arm. I tensed at the sudden contact. I'm too stunned to move. What is wrong with me! I look at her hand on my arm and then I finally look at her. She quickly removed her hand and stepped a couple back away from me "I'm sorry" she said. If looks could kill she's already dead by now. "What are you doing here!" I shouted. She flinched at my sudden outburst and moved a little back more "I said! What are you doing here!" I repeated slowly anger visible in my eyes. she covered both of her ears with her hands and just looks at me scared for her dear life I saw some tear rolled down her cheeks before she turned back and run away. Guilt consumed me right away. I don't mean to shout at her I just don't like the sudden visit when I'm at my most vulnerable state. "Camila.." I called after her but she's no longer in my sight. "Shit!" I cursed punching the wall beside me. Blood dripping down the floor. I shook my hand I can't even feel my hand throb at how angry I am right now. This place supposedly my go to when I seek some solace because this place is secluded I'm the only one who goes here. So why come and ruin the only place for me! "Fuck!" I shouted one last time before storming out.

I can't forget how scared she looks. I can't keep treating her like this when I know she haven't done anything to me. So, I kept on driving and driving that day to clear my head. I need to be civilized to her she mean no harm. So, why act this way. "Try to be civil to her Lauren" I kept saying to myself.

After that day. The tables had turned because she's the one who's avoiding me right now. I respected her decision, I deserve that after all. I given her space for a week. I even spent my weekend composing myself on how to confront her. Right this time.

Monday rolled around and I'm too nervous to talk to her. What if I scared her too much the last time that she doesn't want something to do with me anymore. Ow god! I feel sick in the pit of my stomach. "I can do this! Just wait till the end of the last class and go talk to her" I whisper to myself closing my eyes to compose myself.

I waited and waited for her to pass by the parking lot that day but I haven't seen her. Our class ended 3 hours ago. I needed to see her asap since we only have 2 weeks till the end of the semester. Our project must me done longtime ago. This is all my fault! I lose hope waiting for her. I made my mind and went to her house. I stood in-front of her house for good 10 minutes contemplating. Fuck it! I need to do this! I ring the doorbell and stood there tiptoeing while waiting her to open the door. Coming I heard someone yells inside and before I know it the door finally opened. Stood there is the most captivating brown eyed I've ever seen she's already wearing her banana pj's and she's still gorgeous and adorable. Her eyes wide as she saw who it was. She quickly shut the door but my reflexes prevented it from fully closing. "I know, I deserve that. But please hear me out. I'm sorry for treating you like that... I really am. I just.. I don't know.. I promise to be civil this time. Just please give me another chance?" I asked her pleadingly. I felt a pang in my heart as I waited for her to respond but the silence is killing me. So I just backed away. I can't take this I said to myself massaging my chest where my heart is to try lessening the pain.....
