~CAMILA'S POV~@ SCHOOL~
Great...no Shawnito today.
"Hey," Colson greets me, as I was about to walk to a stairwell to go to my first block.
"Hey," I say back with a smile.
"Going to class already?" He raises his eyebrow.
I nod with a chuckle," I like to get to class early." I continue walking, as he joins in, walking beside me.
"What's your first class?" he asks.
"Spanish," I sigh and roll my eyes.
"Shouldn't that be easy for you?" he laughs.
"Are you assuming my nationality?!" I jokingly ask him.
"No, of course not," He assures me, playing along.
We share glances and laugh.
"So is your class up here too?" I change the subject.
"Just around the corner," he shrugs.
"Well..catch you later," I was about to walk towards my class.
"We still have like 5 minutes till class, Camila," he laughs.
"I know," I nod, as I turn around to face him again.
"Well, see you around then," he shoots me a smile.
~COLSON'S POV~
"You're hitting on a freshman, seriously?!" A kid from behind me asks, as I turn around and stare at them.
"Um, she's not a freshman...and we're just friends," I inform him.
"From the way you were looking at her..I doubt it, bro," he shakes his head and walks the opposite way.
Honestly though...I make it too obvious.
~LUNCH~
Great..none of my friends are here.
I see a familiar looking brunette sitting on the side of the hallway..Camila? What's she doing all alone?
"Hey," I greet her.
She looks up," Hey."
"What're you doing here all by yourself?" I ask her, as I sit down next to her.
~CAMILA'S POV~
Now how am I supposed to answer this question...oh yeah, my only friend is Shawn.
"My friend isn't here today..and I don't really know anywhere else to sit," I explain.
"Oh yeah, your boyfriend that picked you up the other day," he teases. I shoot him a look. "What about your other friends?" He asks.
"..I don't really have any other friends," I mumble.
"I feel offended," he looks at me with disrespect.
"But we just met yesterday," I chuckle.
"That doesn't make me any less of a friend than your boyfriend," he playfully crosses his arms.
"Shawnito-Shawn is only a friend!" I remind him," And I know nothing about you. We've never really talked."
"Shawnito? So does that make you..Camilita?" He laughs," And we're talking now, aren't we? Unless..you want me to go..?" He acts like he was going to get up.
"No, stay," I grab his arm.
He looks at me, as I let go of my grasp," Fine, Camilita...but let's go outside."
"Do we have to?" I whine, as we get up and start walking to the courtyard doors.
"Why do you have to be so depressed? Let's lighten the mood a little?" He smiles as I return the gesture.
~COLSON'S POV~
We sit in the middle empty table in the inside part of the courtyard.
"So tell me, Camilita-"
"You will never let that go, will you?" She asks with a giggle, I shake my head.
"What's your story?" I spat out from my head.
She sighs with a light chuckle," Umm...nothing interesting, you know. I'm a 15 year old..with a mom and a dad, who constantly work. My passion is music. I hated high school till I met Shawn-"
"Shawnito," I correct her and she laughs.
"I went through some..drama, I guess. But he was there...for once my life was interesting-but don't plan on reliving it..Umm. That's pretty much it," she shrugs.
"C'mon, there has to be more than that...what are your hopes and dreams?" I let out my inner child.
She rolls her eyes, playfully,"Moving on...tell me YOUR story."
"Sorry, don't really have one," I shrug, scratching the back of my head.
"Aww, c'mon, Kells," she teases.
"Kells?" I question my new possible nickname.
"If you're cool with the name..." She adds.
"I like it. But it sounds familiar..-"
"It's Camila's nickname to MGK," she sheepishly tells me.
"I should've known you'd be like this," I disappointingly cross my arms and sigh.
She looks down at the ground and sighs.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding," I tell her, as she playfully hits me.
"Kells-" She pauses, as our eyes met and our faces inches apart,"..sorry."
"Yeah, it's fine," she backs away.
---
"You see at band practice tonight?" I ask her, as we were about to part ways to our different classes.
She nods," Definitely."

As much as I want to believe that this guy is better than Austin..I mean, we'll find out soon enough.

"You really like her, don't you?" Danielle asks me with a smirk.
I try to hide my smile.
What can I say? I make things really obvious.
