Lauren POV

I sat in class, bored as ever. I swear can teachers not put any expression in their voice, or do they have to speak in the same monotonous voice all the time. I hadn’t listened for the whole lesson, and as the bell rung, I slung my bag over my shoulder and walked out of the classroom. Thank god it was lunch.

I sat down at the table where all of my friends had already arrived. There was Vero, Lucy and Alexa.

“You took your time,” Vero said, grinning.

“Damn, I practically ran from that lesson though,” I replied.

“That bad?” she asked. I nodded and felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. It was a message from Camila. We exchanged twitters so we could dm. It was a whole lot easier then asks on tumblr because this way I got notifications.

C: Hey :)

L: Hi :)

C: I hope I’m not interrupting you

L: Camz you need to stop worrying, if you were interrupting I wouldn’t have had time to reply

C: Okay. Thanks Lo u da flyest

L: I know :P u da illest tho

C: Stop your making me blush

L: Really. Aw cute.

C: Shhh you meanie

I laughed aloud and my friends looked over at me.

“Ooooh, why are you laughing Laur? Who are you texting?” Alexa asked me.

“Umm, I’m talking to this girl I met on tumblr a couple of weeks ago,” I replied.

“What? Why?” Lucy asked.

“She’s really interesting and funny. I really like her,” I told them. If only they knew how much I liked her. As we had spoken more, I had developed a crush on her and whenever we spoke I was happy.

“Are you sure about this Laur? She could be some grown man,” said Vero.

Why does everyone think as soon as you talk to someone online, and become their friend they are some grown man paedophile? I mean that does happen, but not everyone is.

“Guys, stop worrying, okay. She’s not a grown man. And no matter what, I’m not gonna stop talking to her. She’s amazing.” I ranted. I stopped after she’s amazing because I know I wouldn’t be able to stop talking about her, and they would probably realise my crush on her. I want to talk to Camz about it first before I tell anyone else.

“Alright, but just... be careful,” Alexa sounded concerned.

“I will.”

I looked back down at my phone and messaged Camila.

L: I gtg. My friends are harassing me ttyl xx

C: Okay byeeee :*

I spoke with my friends for the rest of lunch, but I couldn’t help missing Camz. I know if I’d carried on talking to her they would have probably warned me again, and I didn’t want that.

When I got home later I messaged Camila instantly.

L: He:) sorry I had to go at lunch :( I missed you

C: Aw I missed you too

L: How was school?

C: Horrible as always, you?

L: It was okay. What happened?

C: Just some people calling me things, no big deal honestly.

Camila had told me out how she got bullied by some girls at school. She had some friends there to support her and they sonded great, but she came home sad a lot because of what they said. I made it my duty to make her happy again. She deserved it. She is kind, sweet, innocent, just so many things. I don’t understand how anyone could hate her. She’s perfect

L: It is a big deal. You don’t deserve it. I wish I was there with you.

C: Same :)

L: Hey do you have Skype?

C: Yeah...

L: Wanna skype?

C: Sure I’m CamilaCabello

L: Okay. Let me add you and then we can actually see each other.

C: Yay :)

I logged into my computer and into skype. I searched CamilaCabello and added her. This is it I’m finally going to see her, and talk to her properly. I felt the butterflies in my stomach multiply as I pressed call.
