The Bet (Lauren/Reader)

25~ Explaining

"We're going ice skating, then we are going somewhere to eat - which we all need to agree on a place- , then we go to Lolo's house for a party, and we might squeeze the mall before the ice skating if we manage to wake up early." Y/N spoke clearly remembering the schedule they'd all agreed upon.

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late, I overslept and debated on not coming." Lauren speaks while walking into the classroom thirty minutes later than usual. "Did we do anything in here today?" She asks.

"Do we ever?" Dinah replies instantly.

Lauren rolled her eyes while smiling and finally taking a seat where she usually does. She smiled brightly upon seeing her girlfriend and kisses her cheek. "Morning, babe."

"Morning, sleepy head." Y/N smiles and rubs Lauren's hair.

"You guys get grosser by the second, like please allow me to redirect my puking toward the floor." Normani jokes.

"Well no one told you to stay in my business." Lauren remarks and smiles a little.

"If it has to do with business best believe Normani and I will be a part of it!" Ally stepped in, previously slamming her hand on her desk causing the group of girls to laugh at the current face she'd been making.

Dinah on the other hand, let her friends carry on the conversation, she didn't really feel like talking. She could feel her real action going into plan. She could see the way Lauren had been eyeing Y/N and Dinah couldn't help but feel like what she did was for the right reason.

I went out of class to go use the restroom and found myself washing my hands after finally peeing. I couldn't help but look out of the corner of my eye to see Camila down by the last sink. I sighed and decided it was best if I kept moving, but decided against it, and felt like I should talk to her.

"Hey," I spoke while raising an arm to wave.

"What do you want?" She speaks bitterly in reply to my greeting. I knew it was my fault that she'd become his way.

"I just wanted to let you know that the girls and I were going to hang out on Christmas eve, if you wanted to come hang with us." I mentioned, I was pretty sure she hadn't gone out of the house ever since the incident at the library, not that I was judging her.

"Why? So I could be yelled at again?" She scoffed and turned away threatening to walk out. BU I grabbed her hand and stopped her from doing so.

"Please, just think about it." I pleaded.

"Why should I?" She asked, yanking her hand back to her side again. "I know the type of person you are now, why should I even listen to anything you have to say?" She rolled her eyes.

"Because I know you don't have any friends." I uttered out without thinking, really.

"And how would you know that? What if I do? And if I don't, maybe I like being alone. I was perfectly fine without you in my life." Camila raised a brow while arguing to show her point.

"What will it take for you to just be there for Y/N again?" I asked angrily, my blood beginning to boil.

Camila chewed on her gum for a bit. "Why?" Camila asked.

"Why what?" I asked out of confusion, what the hell was she asking?

"Why did you make a bet?" she asked again, this time, making her question clearer.

"What bet?" I tried tricking myself that maybe she knew something unrelated to the topic at all.

"Let's just do a little flashback to when we were at homecoming, and you gave me your phone to take a picture of you and Y/N. I ended up sitting down and got a text message from your phone. I didn't wanna be nosy, but curiosity, am I right?" Camila asked.
