Best Enemies

Chapter 15

"You can choose a movie?"

"Duh.. you chose last time!"

The younger retaliated with a half smile before looking down into her work unable to focus given the swarming picture of Lauren in her head.. her lips her eyes her hair.. HER

after around 45 minutes of low level talking and scratching pens across papers the bellowing voice issued out for them to be returned to the front before each was handed back to their rightful owner

"Lewis, Sam, Camila"

The voice started as each head up to retrieve their work, pumping fists and happy smiles could be seen across the room.. that was until Camila grabbed for hers .. her face fell short her eyes low as she twirl the paper between her fingertips, Lauren figured it must have been a bad grade as the girl was pretty hot on scoring top marks however the nosey teachers eyes squinting over the page detailed anything but

She snatched the document from within her hands before yelling out

"Who marked Camila's? Tell me NOW!"

Nobody responded.. whatever had been drawn on the page had to be somehow offensive given the fact the younger had quickly ran from the room in a blatant rush forgetting her bag and phone in the bustle

"This is unacceptable! Someone better come forward or you'll all be marked down for this semester!"

Just as those words uttered from her mouth the loud chime of the bell shot through the ragged room causing Lauren to quickly move grabbing for the girls possessions, she subtly reach into the trash on the way past pulling the screwed up paper out and into her pocket before pacing away to try and find the girl

Lauren: where are you?

No response...

She pulled the paper from her pocket upon reaching a quieter hall only to find almost a paragraph of hurtful words plastered across the back.. her eyes almost fell out of her head as a tight tangling pain overcome her stomach, she had to find her and quick

She ran through various halls and cafeterias in hopes of finding the small body but came up empty as she reach the exit onto their dorms, she thought maybe she'd returned there but after a few minutes of walking realised her small stature sat leaning against a tree

"Camz?"

The girl sat with her head in her arms sniffling and huffing indicating a tearful reaction to the harsh words Lauren had just read, the elder sat herself gently in front of her lap lifting a hand to raise her head

"Camila... please don't cry.. this is bullshit you know that right?"

She spoke in referral to the paper in her hands, the younger close her eyes tightly causing a few stray tears to fall quickly caught by Lauren's soothing thumb wiping them away

"It's not bullshit tho is it Lauren?"

"What do you mean?"

Camila snatch the paper from her grasp with a still quivering lip unfolding the words to read them aloud

"Ugly sex hungry slut! Only cares about using people for a cheap fuck! Pretty hair and a short skirt doesn't hide the fact that you're a toxic human who only cares about one person HERSELF!"

"You can't believe any of that shit Camila I'm serious! They're probably just some jealous bitch who wants to get with you but knows they don't stand a chance..."

She drop the paper letting it land back in Lauren's lap as she used the heel of her palm to wipe at her sore eyes, Lauren hated seeing her cry.. it was like watching a puppy being ripped from a warm bed.. sad
