Camila’s POV
School was pretty crap for me. I am extremely thankful for my three best friends: Normani, Dinah and Ally. They are the only things that make me happy at school. I think without them I wouldn’t be here. But I get bullied quite badly. It’s mostly verbal, just name calling, but that can affect you a whole lot more than people think. Being called “ugly” everyday doesn’t exactly boost your self confidence.
It can sometimes be physical, but that’s rare, thankfully. I have been beaten up a few times. I had to pretend it didn’t hurt so they would give up. It took a while.
I’m sitting in AP Chemistry, my least favourite lesson, and the only person crossing my mind is Lauren. I may only know her from tumblr and twitter, but she is already one of my favourite people. She is so eloquent, and anything she says makes me feel better.
The bell rang and I walked to lunch. Mani was already at our table, so I sped up and sat with her.
“Hey, ManiBear. How you doing?” I asked as I sat down.
“Good thanks Mila, you?” she replied, kindly.
“I’m good too, thanks.”
Dinah and Ally then joined us, and we shared our normal banter. I got a little bit bored so I popped up to Lauren on twitter dm.
C: Hey :)
After only a couple of minutes Lauren replied.
L: Hi :)
C: I hope I’m not interrupting you
I can’t help but worry that Lauren won’t have time for me. She is so amazing, so she must have better things to do with her time than talk to me.
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 J u da illest tho
C: Stop your making me blush
She probably thought I was joking but everything she said to me made me blush.
L: Really. Aw cute.
C: Shhh you meanie
I giggled a little at my phone, but luckily no one noticed.
It took Lauren about 5 minutes to reply, but when she did she said,
L: I gtg. My friends are harassing me ttyl xx
Was sad that she had to go but I didn’t want her friends harassing her.
C: Okay byeeee :)
I put my phone back in my pocket and my friends asked me who I was talking to.
“Oh, just Lauren,” I replied, hoping they’d leave it at that.
“Who’s Lauren?” Ally asked.
“A friend from tumblr,” I mumbled.
“Camila, that’s not safe.” Dinah shouted.
“She’s right, Mila. No one is who they say they are on the internet,” Mani said.
“I am. And I know Lauren is okay? I promise to be careful.”
“Fine,” they all replied.
The bell went off indicating the end of lunch. We all gave quick hugs to each other and said goodbye.
As I was walking, I heard people whispering about me.
“How does she even have friends?”
“She’s so ugly.”
“If I was her, I would cry.”
I kept my head down to the ground and sped up so I could get away from them, but of course not. I bumped into someone, and looked up. It was the most popular girl in school, MorganGreye. She was the worst person to go near.
“Watch where you’re going freak,” she screamed in my face. I felt a sting on my cheek, and I was on the floor. I looked up to see everyone laughing, and Morgan walking away.
I got up and ran to my next class, AP English. I just want to get my mind off of it.
I stepped through the door of my house, grabbed a snack and went straight to my room, like I always do. I checked my phone and saw a message from Lauren.
L: Hey:) 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? I had told Lauren about being bullied at school, and she was so supportive of me. This is why I am thankful for her.
L: It was okay. What happened?
C: Just some people calling me things, no big deal honestly.
L: It is a big deal. You don’t deserve it. I wish I was there with you.
She is so sweet, but I would love for her to be at my school. I think I have a crush on her.
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 J
I logged onto my laptop and it immediately started to ring with a skype call. I took a deep breath and pressed answer.
