The fifth time Camila saw Lauren was at the tram stop. She was walking, looking around- admiring the trees that were swaying because of the wind. The L.A.'s weather finally showed itself. Camila can't help but to feel excited because good weather means a good day for her. She doesn't have to wear coats or jackets, and rain would be limited.
It's beautiful.
The day seemed so orange and brown. The 'slowly coming' autumn wind made the trees' dried leaves to fall on the ground and she keeps on stomping on them because she love their sound. Daffodils, camellias and other kind of flowers that she encounters are being taken because she knew they will be cold and die with the upcoming cold season without anyone having to appreciate them. Every bloom that has fallen from the trees she can't reach were being appreciated as well because Camila was picking them all up to smell it and collect it inside her bag that she's bringing together with her guitar.
She often collects fallen blooms around the town and pick flowers when it's nearly winter to give it to her friends as a gift or for them to be happy somehow now that it's getting cold.
Today is not that cold though. The autumn's just doing its work. Inhaling deeply, she smiled through the air filled with flowery scents that came from her bag and trees
When she came across the tram stop, she sat on one of the seats there. She found it cool that there's a train that was running on the streets where people can walk beside it. Amazed, she watch the train stop for a while, reading every words that was sticked to the tram's wall. Once the train drove away, she saw a girl that was wearing a loose yellow t-shirt and black jeans. On her head is a yellow beanie, the same color as her shirt and they were partnered with a white converse. She has her legs crossed into an Indian sit and was looking down, reading the book on her hand that rests comfortably on her thigh. Leaves and flowers from the tree that was placed beside the bench were falling onto her head and the tram stop's seats. Camila walked onto her and picked every flowers that has fallen to the bench. She put them in her bag first before sitting down on the unoccupied seat beside her
The other girl felt Camila sat by her side and she move away slightly. In a furtive way, she looked at her after she move and smiled when she realized that it was Camila
"Hi" the girl says
It's been a while since the brunette saw Lauren. She still haven't gave her clothes back to her yet. And although she didn't brought the clothes with her, she's hoping to see Lauren anywhere. She doesn't care if she sounds so desperate but she wants to know her even more. Or to be her friend at least. So when Camila heard the familiar voice, her eyes widen and looked at her with a euphoric smile as she smiled in response;
"hi" it came out shyly and that made Lauren smile as well
"W-what are you reading?" Camila asked as she look at the book on Lauren's grasp, her voice stuttering in indecisiveness of what to say because of enthusiasm. Her hands that were laying on both of her sides were unstable in excitement and indecision of which question to ask. Lauren put the book tag in between the page before she answer
"This is To Kill A Mockingbird, it's my favorite so I'm rereading it" she replied, watching as Camila place her guitar carefully on her side
"I haven't read that before" Camila says. Lauren arched her eyebrow "it's really good. You should read it"
"Really?"
"Really" Lauren nods in assurance and giggled at how cute Camila is
"What's your favorite book?"
"I like... The Book Thief. It was a gift from my friend who likes to give me books as a present whenever it's my birthday"
"I love reading. She's aware of that. I honestly prefer reading than watching tv because my mind creates these nirvanas from imagination" Camila added before Lauren can even reply. The older girl can't help but to smile because she's liking their topic and she can see it to the other girl that she likes it as well. For those days that they're talking, she found her so eloquent and Lauren thought it's lovely to get to know her, specially the way how her mind works
