The Substitute// Camren

Chapter 10

The weekend rolled around and Lauren's phone felt heavy in her hands. She wanted to text Camila more than anything to figure out what was even happening between them but the negative thoughts about the consequences that could come with her reaching out to Camila stopped her. She thought about the possibility of getting Camila in legal trouble is what was holding Camila back from Lauren and now that she came to that realization she wanted to find a way to comfort Camila about her worries. This was enough to motivate her to text Camila.

To: Camzzz
Hi.

To: Camzzz
Wow that was lame. I'm sorry.

Lauren mentally slapped herself at how dumb she sounded. 'Hi' really? She could not believe that she sat. here contemplating her entire life for hours and 'Hi' was that the best she could do. She proceeded to continue psyching herself out for a good 5 minutes before her phone vibrated and Camila's name popped up on her screen.

From: Camzzz
Judging by the way you are already apologizing, this must be Lauren.

To: Camzzz
How did you know?

From: Camzzz
I guess I just know you too well.

To:Camzzz
Yea right. You know nothing grandma.

From: Camzzz
HEY, I am only 4 years older than you missy.

To: Camzzz
Same difference.

From: Camzzz
Not the same child.

To: Camzzz
Aw Please don't call me that!!!!!

To: Camzzz
I beg.

From: Camzzz
You call me grandma, I call you child.

To: Camzzz
Fine, I won't call you grandma

From: Camzzz
Yayy

To: Camzzz
Yeah yeah you win this time.

From: Camzzz
Awe, don't get mad, cutie ;)

Lauren felt her entire face flush red while reading that text and a smile made its way onto her face. Was Camila flirting with her? If so she could die happily in this moment. Lauren couldn't take this, her heart was beating so fast just from talking to Camila. The affect that this woman has on her by doing the simplest of things drove her crazy.

To: Camzzz
I could never be mad at you.

From: Camzzz
Guess who i'm subbing for Monday?

To: Camzzz
