"Camila wait!"

Lauren rounded the corner of the hallway catching up to Camila when the shorter girl turned on her heels, and Lauren almost ran right into her.

"You two were just fucking in the bathroom? Really Lauren?"

"I.... yeah we...." Lauren couldn't think of an excuse. She didn't really know why she even needed one. It was her business what her and Dinah did, but she couldn't help feeling bad. Camila seemed hurt.

"Dinah Hansen? When did that even happen? I...." Camila paused to stare down at her shoes looking small. "I thought you liked me...."

"I did... I... I do. But you said you weren't ready for a relationship. You're the one who said whatever we had would have to be casual." Lauren felt so uneasy.

"Yeah but I guess I didn't realize you'd be fucking other people the next minute... I don't know. I just didn't expect this Lauren."

"Well I'm sorry, but if you wanted me to yourself, you already had your chance. You don't get to be jealous now." Lauren tried not to sound as irritated as she felt.

"So does that mean you and Dinah are... together?"

"I...." Lauren wasn't sure what the hell they were doing. "We agreed to keep things casual too."

"So you guys are fuck buddies?"

"We... it's complicated. She's my best friend. But that's not even important right now. Or your business."

"Sounds pretty complicated." Camila scoffed.

"Hey look, you're not one to judge ok? You're the one that basically asked to use me to experiment alright?" Lauren was about done with this interrogation.

"I know I did but..." Camila stepped closer to the green eyed girl and grabbed one of her hands. "Lauren I think I really like you. And you're right, I am not ready for a relationship, but I'm sure about one thing."

"What's that?" Lauren began to lose herself in the depths of Camila's darkening gaze.

"I want you."

The way Camila had said it, low and hunrgy, had left nothing to speculation. Lauren didn't know what to feel.

Little did they know, Dinah was right around the corner listening. The blonde had pressed her back hard to the wall, restraining herself from turning the corner and yanking Lauren away from Camila Cabello. Instead she began to trudge down the hallway to her next class. She had heard enough and facing Lauren or Camila at this point wouldn't be wise or productive. She couldn't help but feel outraged. Camila had practically told Lauren she didn't have a chance with her at the rally, other than maybe a quick fuck to see if a girl could get her off. And now she was telling Lauren she wanted her outright. There wasn't any misconstruing it. Camila wanted Lauren to fuck her. That's exactly how it had sounded. She still said she wasn't ready for anything real but she wanted to fuck her? Lauren didn't deserve to be used like that.

Camila didn't even begin to deserve Lauren's time or attention when she treated her like something she could just play with and Dinah couldn't help but feel dejected that Lauren had immediately given it to her at the first sign of her feelings hurt. Camila was jealous. That's all this was. She suddenly wanted Lauren because Lauren suddenly wasn't as available.

Dinah ground her teeth together arriving at her next class and made her way to her seat shooting eye daggers at anyone that was in her way. Clusters of teens chattering by their desks moved instantly for the sulking blonde. She fell heavy into her chair and pulled her book out of her backpack with an exasperated groan.
