"So you got paired with Camila huh?" Amie asked as we walked down the hall way during our Maths class. I almost jumped with joy.
"Yeah and I got her number" I said excitedly. Amie pinched my cheeks.
"Awwww little Y/N has a huge crush" Amie said as I swatted her hands away. "So when are you meeting up? To do the project" Amie asked.
"Uh, I'm not sure yet, we are planning that next lesson I think, at the moment though we are writing our thoughts on what we think each other will be like and then we will do the other stuff later" I said checking my phone. "Time to go to class" I said. Amie and I have every class together but English. It's kinda weird.
At Lunch.........
Amie an I were on the way to the cafeteria for lunch but I was stopped.
"Y/N WAIT UP" I heard a way too familiar voice call. I turned to find Camila stumbling towards me. She's so cute.
"See you later" Amie said before dashing off leaving me with Camila alone.
"Hey" I said. Camila suddenly looked nervous.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't speak to you outside of lessons should I, I mean your popular and I'm basically a no body, you probably didn't even know who I was before the project and-" no matter how cute her rambling was I decided to cut in.
"I knew exactly who you were, Camila Cabello, first met you when we were 7 years old, you had moved from Cuba and I stopped Rachel and Olivia from bullying you, you thanked me and then I said your name is pretty just before you got in your dad's car. You hang out with Lauren, Dinah, Normani and Ally who are all really cool by the way and you used to have a thing with bows which has kinda died down now which is really sad cause they were cute but you know" I rambled. I could see her blushing.
"Well I guess I am completely wrong about you then" Camila said.
"Most people are" I replied not at all fazed by the comment.
"So I was just going to ask how we're doing this project, I mean I've already wrote about how I think your going to be, now what?" She asked. I laughed
"Luckily for you I've done it to and this is how I think we should do it, you can change it if you don't like it but I think we should spend one day with each other where for one day you'll follow me around and see the real me, and then another day I'll follow you around, so I guess it's two days but you know why I mean" I said. Camila's smiled widedened.
"That's a great idea" Camila said. She suddenly frowned. "But what about class?" She asked already knowing I don't turn up.
"I've already asked Mr Hewitt, he said its fine for you to miss a day of your own lessons to follow me around, he told the teachers that you would miss lessons tomorrow, does that sound alright?" I asked. Camila nodded.
"Yeah sounds great, I'll see you tomorrow then" Camila said. I nodded before she walked away.
The next day...........
I told Camila to meet me at school at 8am. Early I know, but that's the time I get here everyday. She was actually right in time. Obviously Amie was with me, but she can't know the real me without Amie. "Hey Camila" I said. She smiled.
"Hi Y/N, hi Amie" Camila replied. Amie gave a small wave.
"You ready?" I asked. Camila nodded and we began to walk into school.
"So where are we going?" Camila asked.
"To the library" I replied. Amie and I laughed at the shocked expression on her face. "Yes we do know the library exists, and two we go to the library every morning" I added.
"Why though?" Camila asked.
"To work" Amie answered for me.
"Isn't it easier to just turn up for class?" Camila said finding it weird. I mean it kinda was.
"I don't know, we just don't" I replied as we entered the Libary. "Hello Mrs Turner" I waved.
"Hello girls, new guest?" She asked referring to Camila.
"Yeah it's for a project" I replied.
"I see, well I left your books out at your table" Mrs Turner replied.
"Thanks" Amie and I replied before walking to our normal table with Camila behind. As usual Mrs Turner had left out our books se we could do our work. We all sat down and as Amie and I began our work I could feel Camila studying me. Probably because this is so not the Y/N everyone sees. I looked up and caught her staring before she quickly looked away.
"Is there a problem Cabello?" I asked. She turned to face me again.
"No I just never thought of you like this before, I never expected this at all" Camila replied. I laughed.
"There's only one person in this entire world who actually knows me and that's Amie" I said. Camila nodded and let me get back to work.
The morning went by quickly and I was surprised at how fast lunch came around. Camila still didn't quite understand me yet which made me laugh. I watched as Camila began to drift to her table. "Cabello where are you going?" I asked.
"To sit with my friends" she replied. I held my hand over my heart and pretended to be hurt.
"I thought we were friends" I said. She laughed and walked back over to me before sitting down. "I was just kidding you can go back over there if you want" I added. She shook her head.
"It's okay, I'm meant to stick with you the whole day anyway" Camila smiled. I couldn't help but smile back. "So what's up with not turning up to any classes, I mean you turn up to English so why not the rest?" Camila asked. I shrugged.
"I like English, plus I'm a better independent learner or a better learner by myself but with Amie" I replied. Camila nodded.
"You and Amie are close right?" Camila asked and I laughed.
"She's my best friend, and has been since I was little, she's my sister" I said simply. I could go into detail but there's no point really.
"What about you and Ariana? People say you two are going out" Camila said making me laugh again. "What?" She asked.
"Nothing it's just that people make up so much crap about me, yes Ariana and I are good friends but nothing more, yes I skip class but I'm not some badass everyone makes me out to be" I said.
"I noticed today, people are so scared to talk to you" Camila said and I nodded. "Does it suck?" She asked.
"Yep, big time, I just want to be able to talk to people without them feeling like I'm going to crush their reputation or something, I just want real friends but all I really have is Amie right now" I sighed. I felt Camila intertwine her fingers with mine.
"It's okay, don't worry about it, people will find out one day" Camila said. I couldn't help but stare at our latched hands. It just felt right I guess. Like I want to do it everyday for as long as I live. But the freakin bell had to ruin the moment.
After school.......
Camila is coming over to mine which I'm kinda nervous about. I mean my family isn't great at the moment. I put the key in the door and opened it. As usual my parents weren't home and Martha was probably somewhere getting drunk with her friends. My older brother Ross moved out a year ago. Cody and I were upset the most, partly cause we were the only ones that noticed. We visit him once a week and speak to him all the time though. "Who's this?" Camila asked. She was pointing at a family photo.
"That's mum, dad, Martha my older sister, Ross my older brother and then Cody my younger brother" I pointed each person out.
"How old are they?" Camila asked.
"Ross is 25, Martha is 23 and Cody is 10" I replied. That reminds me, where is the little guy. "CODY" I called. I heard two feet start running from upstairs.
"Y/N YOUR HOME" he shouted running down the stairs to hug me.
"Hey bug" I said hugging him.
"Who's this?" He asked confused.
"That's Camila" I replied. He walked up to Camila and stuck his hand out for her to shake.
"Hello Camila, I'm Cody, it's nice to meet you" he said. I couldn't help but smiled as Camila took his hand and shook it. "I'll be upstairs" Cody said turning to me.
"What do you want for dinner bug?" I asked. He stood on the stairs and thought for a moment.
"Pasta and tomato sauce please" he replied. I laughed.
"Yeah sure, I'll call you when it's ready" I replied. He nodded before running up the stairs. I turned to find a very smiley Camila. "What?" I asked.
"Nothing, that was cute though" she said. I laughed as I turned and walked into the kitchen with Camila behind. "You two seem close" she said.
"That's because we are" I replied. I left out the part where I am basically his cared because mum and dad had him by accident and don't care for him or me for that matter. Mum, dad and Martha hardly even home so I basically live with him alone.
"Y/N are you alright?" Camila asked. I nodded while getting the pasta out of the cupboard. It's weird having Camila here. I never in my life thought that my crush would ever come to my house. It's making me nervous.

I began to serve up the pasta and called Cody to come down to eat. All three of us sat at the table and began to eat. "Are you one of Y/N's friends?" Cody asked.
"Uh yeah I guess" Camila replied. My eyes went wide. So we're actually friends now? Yes!!
"That's good, I don't see any of Y/N's friends, well apart from Amie but she's like a sister so that doesn't count" Cody replied. I laughed awkwardly.
"He's only joking" I said. He's not but I don't want her to think I'm a loser. Cody shrugged and began eating again.
"So where's your mum and dad? And your brother and sister?" Camila asked. Cody and I both looked at each other. "Did I say something wrong?" Camila asked.
"What? No, you didn't, Ross moved out a year ago, Martha is probably out with friends and mum and dad are on a business trip" I replied. I actually have no clue where mum and dad are but all I know is that they haven't been home in three days but text every now and then to check the house isn't on fire. Camila looked at me suspiciously but went back to her food anyway. The rest of the meal was fairly quiet but it wasn't awkward. Camila insisted she helped me wash up while Cody stayed seated at the table singing to himself.
"So Y/N do you want to tell me what was going on back there? I know your hiding something" Camila said. I almost choked on air.
"No, everything's-" I was cut off by the front door slamming shut.
"IM HOME" it was Martha and by the way she's speaking I'm guessing she's drunk.
I dropped everything in the sink while grabbing Camila's hand. I picked up Cody and peaked round the door. Martha must have gone in the living room. I quickly sprinted out dragging Camila up the stairs and into Cody and I's bedroom. I thought it was best if we shared just in case something like this happened. I put a lock on our door as well just in case. We all stumbled into out room and I shut and locked the door quickly.
"Y/N what's going on?" Camila asked scared.
"Okay, my sister basically gets drunk and is pretty much drunk all the time, it wouldn't be a problem but she's dangerous in this state. I don't want to scare you but I need to keep you both safe while I try and get her to bed. When I leave you have to lock the door" I said. Camila looked terrified and I hate the fact I've basically cause it. This was normal for Cody so he sad on the bed quietly.
"Y/N I can't let you go out there" Camila said.
"Camila you have to let her go, otherwise Martha will hurt all of us" Cody spoke up. "You'll be safe with me" Cody took Camila's hand. It melted my heart. Camila smiled at him. As I sneaked out the door.
"Lock the door" I said. When I heard the door lock I walked down the stairs to find Martha lying on the couch. "Hey Martha" I said. She turned her head.
"Hello Y/N nlaidnsjbdghxh" I had no clue what she was saying but I handed her the premised water with a sleeping pill in.
"Drink this" I said. It's a good thing that today she isn't bad. Martha drunk it and almost knocked out straight away. I walked up the stairs and did the secret knock Cody and I had. The door opened and I shut and locked it behind us. I was being hugged straight away.
"I'm so happy your alright" Camila whispered in my ear. I felt literal chills. We hugged for a while, maybe a little too long maybe, before letting go.
"She's asleep, now might be a good time to leave" I said to Camila. She nodded before grabbing her bag and saying bye to Cody before I walked her to the front door.
"Y/N this isn't safe, you can't live like this" Camila said.
"I have for a while now, don't worry about me" I said.
"But I do though, I can't help it" Camila said.
"Bye Camila" I laughed.
"I'm serious, we're talking tomorrow" Camila said.
"Tomorrow's Saturday" I replied.
"And?" She replied.
"Okay well I'll text you" I replied. Camila hugged me one last time before quickly kissing my cheek and pulling away.
"Bye" she said. I waved before closing the door and running upstairs to Cody.
"So that's Camila?" He asked knowing about my crush.
"Yes that's Camila" I replied.
