Love Potion No. 9

Chapter 6 - Nothing Left To Chance

*Camila's POV*

As I sat there stunned beyond belief, a question formed in my mind. How did Lauren get the love potion into my soda if she was sitting at the opposite end of the table? She was never near me.

I suddenly turned to look at Ally, who was sitting next to me. She quickly made a nervous smile.

"Ally." I said with narrowed eyes.

Her nervous smile turned into a grin. "She really does love you. She even got the tattoo, last night at the carnival to prove it."

The look of betrayal on my face must have been evident, as she quickly defended herself.

"Hey, it's only fair. I didn't say nothing when you did it to Lauren and I..." She said, before I cut her off.

"But you put it in my drink. That's not fair at all." I whined.

Lauren spoke up at this point. "I overheard your little pow wow with the gypsy girl yesterday. After school, Ally and I had a long talk about things she should and should not do. So in exchange for my forgiveness, she switched sides. I also threatened to throw Mr. Longneck into my father's wood chipper."

At this point, Matt, Shawn and Dinah, just gave each other very puzzled looks. None of them had even the slightest idea what was going on.

"She didn't think I would at first, so Mr. Purple had a terrible accident. Apparently stuffed giraffes and wood chippers don't get along well." Lauren said with a smirk.

I then looked at Lauren, who seemed to be looking prettier by the second, in horror.

"Get off it Cabello, I won her a replacement for Mr.Purple at the fair last night." Lauren said, with a shrug. "That's also where I paid a nice visit to the gypsy. She initially didn't want to sell me the love potion, but I told her if she didn't bad things would happen. I guess she believed me."

*No One's POV*

Camila looked at Lauren again. The green eyed girl beauty was like a magnet, Camila couldn't look away. But part of her mind thought. "Wait if I avoid her for 25 minutes, she'll hate me for real. Then she won't let me near her. After 24 hours I'll be fine."

A panicked look suddenly formed on Camila's face. She quickly got up and ran towards the school.

"What was that all about?" Asked Dinah.

Lauren got up and smiled. "Oh, that's Camila trying to escape my eternal love. She's not going to."

Lauren then looked to Matt with a sad look. "I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to break up with you."

Matt looked hurt. "Why?

"This is going to sound like a total line, but it's not you, it's me. First of all I'm gay now and second, I'm insanely in love with Camila. But it would be unfair to leave you empty handed."

Lauren whistled loudly, attracting the attention of the crowd. "Attention Ladies." She shouted. "I have just broken up with Matt, who I might add is an animal in bed. So, he's fair game. Thank you. That will be all."

Matt looked a bit surprised at the announcement. A moment later, Matt suddenly became aware of about 30 sets of female eyes upon him. "Uh...thanks I guess."

Lauren looked to the rest of the group. "Well, I have 25 minutes to track down and kiss a very pretty Latina Lady."

Dinah pointed to the school, still somewhat confused. "She's already in the school, aren't you worried about her getting away?"

Lauren shook her head. "No. Because, she's going to find that certain doors and gates have suddenly become mysteriously locked. She's not going anywhere I don't want her to."
