Think Again (Camren)

Playing Connect The Dots

Lauren's PoV

"Sofi!" I laughed so hard as she continued to tell a joke that made sense to no one but herself. It was still pretty funny and her facial expressions were killer. "Oh God stop, please, my sides are beginning to split."

"Want some band-aids?" Sofi quirked an eyebrow, taking a nacho from the huge plate in the middle of the table. We were at Johnny's after Camila's victory game, celebrating her new record for making the most goals in one game. 19. Wowsers.

I chuckled, allowing myself to calm down. "You need to shut up for a bit so I can collect myself."

"Want me to get the krazy glue?" She quirked the other eyebrow and I couldn't help but laugh again. Sammy had been out of town with some family for the holidays and it was clear that Sofi was getting a bit bored without her.

"Sofi." A body leaned against the back of my booth and I looked up to see the mystery girl from yesterday. "Cabello's sister. I should've known." She grinned and walked around the booth. "Mind if I sit?" She asked so politely, almost shyly, as I nodded and she took the seat next to me, across from the other raven haired girl. "I thought I'd leave town without seeing you again."

Sofi swallowed and nodded, a smile breaking through her features. I was trapped between the wall, table and this girl who seemed to have taking a liking to Baby C. "Good game!" Sofi finally spoke and I noticed she cursed herself quietly for her outburst.

I found it rather adorable and with the smile gracing the other girl's lips, so did she. "If you consider us losing by ten, then yea, quite the game!" She teased and shrugged. "My coach would give anything to have your sister on our team. She really knows her game."

"She's been playing since she was yay big," I offered, trying to make myself visible rather than uncomfortable.

"Camila has always had the passion for the sport." Sofi replied and played with her straw, not looking at either of us. Her grey eyes were focused on her drink.

"What is your passion?" Tracey asked kindly and brushed some curls from her eyes.

"Music." The reply from Sofi was quick, her eyes were up and looking at the other girl.

"Music is good," offered Tracey, glancing at me and smiling, "are you two together?"

I didn't mean to snort but I couldn't help it. What an odd picture.

Lauria?

Seriously?

Not a chance.

"Uh," Sofi giggled and shook her head, "no. Lauren's my best friend."

I looked at Baby C in amazement and smiled widely. I guess since it was my first time hearing her say it out loud made me feel all warm inside. Sofi quickly became my best friend and little sister at the same time.

"What makes you think we're into girls?" I asked, raising my eyebrow.

"Gaydar." She replied like nothing, her face brightening up. "It's a gift."

"Interesting." Sofi murmured, her eyes staring at the girl in front of her with amusement and interest.

"I actually have a girlfriend already." I smiled as I notice Camila walk in with Kyla beside her. I noticed after taking her coat off, she was wearing her Rebels jersey and a pair of tight jeans. I sighed and smiled at the sight of my girlfriend.

"Well," Tracey smiled and stood up, "I should get going. After this game we lost, Coach wants us to practice for tomorrow's game."

"Um," Sofi shot up from her seat and stood in front of the girl, who was the same height as her, "let me walk you." I caught the nervous swallow in Sofi's stance but Tracey smiled warmly. "Lead the way," she offered softly as Tracey waved bye at me and led Sofi outside the building and down the street.

"Who was that?" Camila asked, slipping in next to me.

"Tracey something or other," I shrugged but grinned, "she bought me a piece of pie and coke last night." Wide eyed, Camila glared at me and I couldn't help but snicker. "She just did it to impress your sister."

"My sister?" Camila frowned. "Why would... is she hitting on my sister?"

Kyla and I shared a laugh. "I think it was friendly flirting."

"You know all about that Mila, you've perfected it." Kyla chuckled and I was highly amused. The girl was right.

It seemed as though Kyla accepted the fact that both Cabello sisters had it bad for women. I wasn't entirely sure what was said to cause Kyla and Camila to fall out of line in their friendship but Camila assured me that it had nothing to do with us. I was happy to hear that and Kyla was more than friendly with me, so I knew she wasn't lying.

"Hey," Camila pouted at me, her big chocolate eyes drawing me in, wishing we weren't in public so I could kiss her, "I don't always flirt, do I?"

"No, not always," I said and heard Kyla chuckle, "just sometimes."

"Oh." Her facial expression was adorable and so innocent. "Was Sofi hitting on her?"

"They were talking Camz, don't worry about it." I laughed but she just smirked.

"You always flirt," she scolded playfully, "with Sofi, nonetheless."

"Please," I rolled my eyes at her, "she'd only be so lucky."

Camila snorted. "Then she must be lucky."

I smirked and nudged her. "You played an awesome game Camz."

"Yea, you really let that one girl have it. I'm surprised you didn't body check her like you usually do." Kyla laughed.

"I don't body check girls," Camila said almost seriously, "unless her name is Normani Kordei."

I chuckled. "Yea, it only made her like you more." I paused slightly before making eye contact with her, "maybe that's why Mendes's so into you."

"Shawn Mendes?" Kyla raised an eyebrow. "Ew?"

Camila and I laughed, nodding. "He hasn't bothered me since the Formal though."

"Did you really shove him?" Kyla's eyes lit up as she stared at me with awe. She clapped her hands happily when I nodded my head. "That guy is a prick. He thinks he's the shit in class, he drives me insane."

"You and me both," I agreed and grabbed a few nachos, "I ordered a big plate thinking you'd be starving." I winked at Kyla.

"Why? Because you think I'm fat and need the food?!" Kyla glared at me and I shook my head confused. What the hell? Multiple personality much?

"Kyla," Camila made eye contact with her and whatever passed through them in the 3 second silent communication, reflected in Kyla's eyes as she looked back at me.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to spaz out on you," her brown eyes cast down at the table, "just a little touchy."

Ah, she was PMSing, she didn't need to say any more.

"It's cool," I smiled softly. "Hey," I greeted Sofi as she came back in with a smile gracing her features. "How was the walk?"

Sofi hid her smile well as she nodded. "Short."

In otherwards, too short.

"Sammy leaves you for a week and you're already with other girls?" Camila teased and Sofi just shrugged it off.

"She bought me a piece of pie and a coke, I figured it wouldn't hurt to walk her back to her hotel." Sofi slid in the seat next to Kyla. "Besides, Sammy always flirts with other girls and you don't see me jumping down her throat about it."

"So you were flirting," I winked and reached over the table, ruffling her hair. Sofi huffed and slapped my hand away, scowling.

"So are you." Camila smirked at me and stuck out her tongue.

"Can we drop the flirting now?" Kyla whined, her head resting on the table. "I'm the only single one who has no one to flirt with." Her voice sounded sad and painful but I never questioned it. Camila shared another look of understanding with her best friend. One of those looks that I didn't understand. A look that only best friends share when they know something no one else does.

Why did it feel like I was left in the dark all of a sudden?
