Think Again (Camren)

Triple Word Score

Camila's PoV

"I quit," Trixie plopped herself down beside me in the library, "I told coach I couldn't play for her any longer because it just didn't feel right, so I quit."

I blinked and looked at the redhead. "Excuse me? Trix, you quit?"

"Why play for a homophobe, you know? I'm just sorry I didn't do it sooner." Trixie sighed and rolled her neck, leaning forward. "It's just, what the hell am I going to do with my free time now?"

"I understand why you quit, but you love the game," I frowned.

"Would you stay on the team if you didn't have Rebel's?" Trixie asked me.

Would I? I mean, would I play for someone who's totally against who I was? Sure, hockey was basically the air that I breathed, but would I allow myself to lose that much perspective and self-respect just to play the sport?

"That's a hard one," I shrugged, "but probably not. I'd cry myself to sleep every night though." I smiled and she laughed. "Honest!"

"I'm so not doubting you Cabello." Trixie chuckled and looked around the library. "Where's Lauren?"

"Right here." Lauren's husky voice came up behind me and I felt her hands wrapped around me from behind, placing a kiss on the side of my neck before taking a seat next to me. "Sorry I'm a little late, I was held back in class because some ass wouldn't shut up so he earned us all a fifteen minute detention."

"Ugh, not fair!" Trixie frowned.

"I know!" Lauren gasped before looking at me. She tilted her head to the side and frowned, "are you okay?"

Trixie must've noticed the tension and quickly made herself scarce. "We should totally get the people together this weekend for a fun game, kay Mila?" She watched me nod before she took off.

I licked my lips and looked at Lauren, biting my lower lip. "I'm sorry," I whispered.

"For what?" She frowned even deeper. "I was the one that made you upset this morning."

"I know but Lo," I grabbed her hand, "you have no reason to be upset about Kordei. I mean, I get it and I don't want to play it off like you're being silly yet at the same time," I sighed, "you need to be able to trust me."

"I do." Lauren pleaded and scooted her chair closer. "She just gets to me you know? I mean, I understand if you do like her because I would like her if she wasn't constantly trying to pick you up." She had the cutest pout on her face and it was hard to stay serious with her when she gave me that look.

I snickered and wrapped my arms around her neck, pressing my forehead against hers. "She can try all she wants, but I've got you Jauregui and you're all the woman I'll ever need."

I saw her relax and she kissed me softly. Her hands played with end of my ponytail. "You want to runaway and elope?" She quirked a grin and I swallowed but smiled.

Yes.

"Why?" I laughed softly. "We can just elope here and not tell anyone!"

Lauren laughed with me and pulled back. "Did you eat already?"

"No, I was waiting for you." I packed my books in my bag and took her hand that was extended for me.

"Lauren!" Sofi came up to my girlfriend and looped her arm through hers. "I've missed you." She kissed the brunette on the cheek.

I smirked. "If you two don't stop with that, I'm going to have to suspect that you picked the wrong Cabello." I waved a finger in front of Lauren.

"Please!" Lauren held a hand over her heart, "I can totally resist Baby C's deep brown eyes, long black hair and those perfect strawberry shaped lips."

Sofi blushed and ducked her head. Ah, you think she had a smidgen of a crush on my girlfriend? Yea, me too.

"Just like I can resist Camila's luscious brunette hair, melting chocolate eyes and perfect cherry lips, right?" Sammy stepped up beside me.

Lauren frowned and moved between Sammy and I. "You've got your own Cabello, this one is taken."

Sammy and Sofi laughed as they laced their fingers together. "Well we're going for a quick coffee run, you want to come?"

"Only Seniors are allowed off of campus," I raised an eyebrow at Sofi, who just rolled her eyes.

"I've been leaving with Sammy off school grounds since last year when she wasn't even allowed to leave!" Sofi laughed and tugged her girlfriend towards their lockers to grab their coats. "I haven't gotten caught yet!"

"You've got that Cabello cocky charm Sofi," Lauren warned her, "it'll get you into trouble eventually!" She yelled as they disappeared around a corner. I gave her a 'what's that supposed to mean' look and she shoved me lightly, "whatever Camz, don't give me that look. You know exactly what I mean."

"I was winning scrabble you know, so I was getting cocky," I grumbled and opened the cafeteria door, "not my fault you spelled out an STD word on a triple word score space!"

"Ah," Lauren waved herself as if she were hot, which you know, she was, "can't help that I'm good at spelling." We both erupted into giggles.

"Happy?" A male voice came up behind us and I turned around to see Mendes standing there with a black eye and swollen lip. "I'm kicked off of Rebel's."

I smirked and crossed my arms over my chest. "Yea, I heard. What'd you do to piss off the coach this time?"

Mendes just sneered at me and licked his swollen lip. "You tell your girlfriend Kordei to fucking watch her back, Cabello." He gave me the evilest glare and stalked off.

I frowned and looked at Lauren, who was mirroring my look.

"You don't think she did that to him, do you?" She whispered as Mendes pulled his hood over his head and made his way out of the cafeteria.

"I don't know." I shook my head and then I saw Lauren smirk, "What?" I couldn't help but smile as well.

"If she did, she totally earned some cool points." Lauren laughed. "And I can't believe he just called Normani your girlfriend!"

Normani? Camila Cabello's girlfriend?

I laughed.

Right.
