You're aware of my existence
But you don't know I'm here

As I was walking down the hallway to meet up with the girls in the cafeteria, (lowkey only walking there for the food and not them buttt), I saw him walking down the same hallway, but opposite direction.

Ahh Brad.
What a motherfucker.
Probably going to masturbate in that janitors room.

Last time he got caught, it was in the boy's toilet. And let me tell you it wasn't a student that caught him.

Girls bathroom? He tried that too and guess who saw him? Guess who ended up in need of holy water for their eyes? Holy Allysus.

Poor Ally ended up seeing that small ween, I feel bad for her. She ended up throwing up and leaving the school for a week, because she didn't wanna see him again. Whenever she does see him now, she goes the other direction right away no matter what she needed.

Oh, also I'm hoping the janitor ends up seeing him too. So he would stop being so fucking horny all the god damn time. And here's the thing, there's no one in here that would like to fuck him. So he always ends up fucking his hand. Or fingers, cause like his hand is way too big for dat small shit.

Once I entered the cafeteria, I searched for the girls, to see which table they're sitting at. I caught a glimpse of Normani twerking in far back near the corner.

Why the fuck is she twerking?

I don't know if I even wanna go sit with them anymore.

Should I just try to discreetly leave with my food before they seem me?

But like where would I go?

I'll figure that out later.

I turned my steps towards the door, trying to leave the cafeteria.

"CAMILA! Over here!" I clearly heard Normani yelling.

I could practically feel a tear rolling down my face, when they noticed me.

God, what did I do to deserve this?

I turned and walked to the table with the idiots, that I call my friends, and sat with them.

"Why am I friends with y'all?"

" 'Cause I slay your motherfucking existence, duh" mani said flipping her hair "and 'cause you need some holy water from time to time"

"I agree with the second part but not the first"

Mani faked gasps "how fucking dare you, oh and Ally extra fries is other there"

Once Ally heard what mani said she jumped "Extra fries? WHO HAS EXTRA FRIES I WANT SOME TOO"

Normani face palmed herself as she heard Ally's words, "I meant your crush you idiot"

The blonde calmed down and sat in her seat "seriously? Extra fries? Is your mind not able to come up with shit better than that?"

"It ain't shit hoe, plus it's the only thing that would get your attention that fast!"

"That's not true, Waffle House would catch her attention faster" I joined into the conversation. "Mila's knows what's up, unlike you"

"Fuck you guys" the curly haired beauty exclaimed. We laughed at her small outburst, accidentally I elbowed someone.

I turned my head, remembering that Lauren sits with us now. I always forget she's with us, she rarely makes any type of comments or anything in a matter of fact. I apologized softly to her, which made her reply with a simple "don't worry" like she always does.

I never really pay attention to her, if I'm being honest. The only reason she's with us is because she's technically my girlfriend. She doesn't interact with me which makes it easier for me instead of just being the awkward weirdo I am.

I'm surprised she's still here with me. We don't go out on dates or do any type of physical association; hugging, holding hands, cuddling...etc. We don't even kiss.

Well the last part is because of me. I told her I haven't had my first kiss yet and I was waiting for the perfect moment. Surprisingly, she agreed to that. It was a very awkward moment if I'm being honest. It happened after our second date, when I asked her to be my girlfriend.

Fast forward to the time I left school and reached my bedroom. I sat on my bed with my book open in front of me, acting as if I'm studying, just in case my mom or dad come in. My phone was partially hidden under my book, so I can slide it right under it whenever one of my parental units came in. (Fun fact: my friend calls her parents on her phone parental unit 1 & 2).

Scrolling down through my Instagram feed, I heard knocks on my door. Immediately, I locked my phone and slid it right under my calculus book.

"Come in" I yelled to whoever stood behind the door.

The door opened showing my little sister Sofi which caused me to sigh, releasing the breath I was holding in.

"Mami says food is ready" my little sister informed me while she was holding on to her Barbie doll.

"Okay, I'm coming downstairs in a bit" my sister fled out of my room once I said that "okay bye to you too" I sarcastically said.

I opened my phone again and closer all the apps I had open and hooked my phone into the charger. I knew I was gonna use it after dinner, but it needed to be charged since it was barely 25%.

I walked downstairs noticing a thick tension. What's going on?

As confused as I am, I decided not to ask questions but slide into my seat beside Sofi.

"We need to tell you something after dinner" my dad sighed into his words.

Okay, this scared the shit out of me. My thoughts started running all the bad shit I could've done. But I didn't recall doing anything wrong that they would have caught. Maybe it's not me.

We all sat quietly eating except for Sofi. Being the total oblivious child she is, she just kept talking and talking about her dolls and what happened today in school. Like how Kate was being mean and stole jake's pencil and other shit that I couldn't keep up with.

I tried being a good older sister and paying attention, but my mind kept wandering back to my Dad's words.

Once we finished eating, my mom got up and took our plates back to the kitchen. The rest of our family however sat still on the table.

My mom came back to the table and sat. There was a lot of tension going on. Sofi decided to break the tension that she was oblivious to "so what did you want to tell us Papi?"

My dad sighed "there's no easy way of saying this, but we're moving out"

My eyes widened into those words. "We're getting a bigger House?!?!?" Exclaimed Sofi, happily. No matter how many times I say this it will always be true, She's still such an oblivious child.

"Sofia that's not what your dad meant by that" my mom informed the oblivious child right beside me.

The younger sibling stared confused at my dad, "what did you mean papi?"

"We're moving out of the state. Out of Florida."

"Why?? Why can't we stay here? I don't want to leave school when it's my senior year now! It's my last F- year," I continued talking hoping my parents don't catch on to that slip, "and you just decided to move out when you could've moved out 3 years ago?? When I told you I didn't want to be here?"

My dad sighed for the millionth time this night, "I'm not doing it because I want to. The company needs me elsewhere"

"THE COMPANY? You're part of the headquarters why would you need to move out?"

I cut out my dad before he even replied, "you know what? I don't even wanna know!"

I got out and left to my room immediately.

What the actual fuck!

When we first moved here I told them I didn't want to stay here. But now that I have friends, they want me to leave here. DO THEY SERIOUSLY THINK ITS SO EASY TO MAKE FRIENDS WHEN YOU'RE AN AWKWARD CHILD!

I laid on my bed ready to kill any person that touches me. I heard knocking on the door. I didn't answer hoping whoever stood there, would leave.

Instead they just came in either way. "Karla?" I sighed once I heard my mother. "What?" I felt the weight on my bed shift a bit, alarming me that my mom sat on it.

"Three years ago you wanted to leave so badly. If I'm being honest I thought Sofia would react worse than you. I thought you'd be ecstatic to leave. What happened to that?"

"I didn't have friends back then, unlike now. It took me a whole semester of sitting alone, to have Ally talk to me. I don't want to go through that again"

"I understand that mija, but are you sure it isn't something else?"

"Like what mami?"

"Perhaps a boyfriends or something" my mom hinted.

In that moment, my eyes widened in realization of what I could say. I smirked in my head, remembering the existence of Lauren. Maybe if I told my mom that I had a girlfriend that I don't want to leave, then my dad would try to do something.

Time to use my lying skills.

I faked shifted uncomfortably around the bed. I whispered softly, "umm.. Here's the thing mami, technically it's not a boyfriend but..."

My mom perked up trying to get closer "but...?" She questioned, urging me to continue.

I lowered my voice more, hoping my mom would fall to my technical white lie. "it's more of a girlfriend..."

"Girlfriend?! Mija why didn't you tell us! Me and your papi need to meet up with this girlfriend of yours if that's the case"

"Really mami?! You're not mad?"

"Why would I be?"

"I don't know, maybe 'cause she's a girl"

"Non sense! Invite her over this Saturday! I'll see what I can do with your dad" my mom exclaimed and left the room calling for my dad.

FUCK YEA!

I'm a fucking genius, for lying without lying.

Now I need to figure out how I'm gonna tell Lauren this.

YAY FIRST CHAPTER UP!

The prologue had nothing to do with actual plot of the book other than the fact that Mila, Ally or Mani don't know Lauren. 👀

Also I would recommend reading the lyrics I write at the beginning of the chapter, because it's most likely to represent Lauren somehow in the book!

ps. The book will deal with some depression and some serious issues further into the story, so I wouldn't recommend it if it triggers you in any type of way.

Finally, thank you for your patience and reading (voting and commenting if you did (; don't be a ghostie)

I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY UNLESS YOURE A BITCH!
