Tốt thứ nhất,"Lauren nói, quay đầu hơi để nhìn cô gái trước mặt cô ta. "Tôi tỉnh dậy trễ và phải bỏ qua bữa sáng, do đó, tôi đang đói và sau đó tôi được accosted trong hành lang của Rachel Murphy.""Rachel? Không phải của bạn như vậy ra khỏi buồng riêng ex-girlfriend? " Đồng minh hỏi ngạc nhiên."Là một và duy nhất," Lauren nói ngồi trở lại và sighing nặng nề. Nó đã là chỉ sau đó rằng cô nhận thấy rằng Edna, mũi của cô được chôn trong một bản sao của Harper Lee ' To Kill a Mockingbird' đã âm thầm giữ trong một quán bar granola qua khoảng cách trong các bàn làm việc."Cảm ơn," Lauren, ông tham gia snack gratefully và mở nó.Camila không trả lời, sự chú ý của cô tập trung chăm chú vào những cuốn sách trong tay của cô và Lauren cau mày một chút trước khi quay trở lại đối với đồng minh và Dinah như các cô gái sau này hỏi teasingly, "Đã làm cô ấy đẩy bạn lên chống lại các tủ khóa?""Cái gì? Không"Lauren trả lời. "Cô hỏi tôi ra vào một ngày.""Như vậy?" Đồng minh hỏi. "Vấn đề là gì? Tôi nghĩ rằng bạn chỉ chia tay với cô ấy vì cô ấy đã không sẵn sàng để đi ra?""Vâng," Lauren thừa nhận, "nhưng đó là sau đó, bạn đã biết, trước khi..." Lauren flitted của cô nhìn hướng tới Camila người vẫn say mê trong cuốn sách của cô. Cô đã cắn môi dưới của cô trong tập trung và trán của cô nhăn."Vì vậy, bạn sẽ vượt qua trên một mối quan hệ thực tế cho một không tồn tại?" Đồng minh yêu cầu cô. "Lauren..."“Don’t Lauren me,” she remarked, leaning back in her chair a little so that it was resting precariously on its back legs. “I don’t feel that way about her any more. I haven’t even thought about Rachel at all since, well, you know.”Ally glanced at Camila quickly before returning her attention to Lauren.“What’s the harm in going on one date?” Ally asked seriously. “It’s not like you’re getting anywhere with your current crush. It might be fun. Maybe it’ll even help you to get over it.”“I don’t want to get over it.” Lauren told them pointedly.“Yeah, but Lauren,” Dinah started. “You could be waiting for something that never even happens?”Lauren glanced at Camila and examined her closely. She was chewing the cuticles of her left hand nervously as she read, a habit Lauren noticed she adopted when she was feeling stressed. Underneath the desk Camila’s right leg was bouncing up and down anxiously and she’d not said one word to anyone since Lauren had sat down.“Ok,” Lauren said a hint of concern in her voice. “What’s going on with you Camila?”Camila ignored her and Lauren turned to look enquiringly between Dinah and Ally who shrugged their shoulders in response to her silent question.“Hey,” Lauren said, reaching her hand over and placing it on Camila’s shoulder, making the other girl jump and bang her knee on the desk.“Shit!” Camila cursed, reaching down with her left hand to rub her right knee furiously.“Are you ok?” Lauren asked her worriedly.“Yeah,” Camila replied, finally lifting her gaze to turn her attention to Lauren.Lauren examined Camila carefully.“I don’t believe you,” Lauren told her honestly.Camila just looked at her for a moment saying nothing.“I’m fine,” Camila eventually said, but Lauren could tell she was lying; Lauren was getting so used to reading Camila’s body language and what she didn’t say often spoke volumes.“You’re lying,” Lauren said bluntly.“I’m not.” Camila replied.“No?” Lauren questioned raising her eyebrow slightly in a challenge.Camila dropped her gaze back to the now closed book in her hands momentarily.“No.” Camila said simply.“Ok, even I could tell you were lying then?” Dinah told her.“Read me a sentence from that book,” Lauren dared Camila knowingly.Camila glanced back at the book in her hand and opened it randomly to a page. She inhaled deeply glancing between the three girls’ watching her briefly.“The handful…” she started, “the handful….of…..people……of people in…th…th…th…this……town.”“Alright,” Lauren said placing her hand over the book and pushing it down into the top of the desk. “Don’t hurt yourself.”Camila gave Lauren a grateful look and closed the book, pushing it to the side slightly out of the way.“Is it really so hard for you to admit that you’re not ok?” Lauren asked her. “I thought we’d been through this last week.”“You’ve been doing so much better as well,” Dinah commented. “Your mood hasn’t been anywhere near as low since you spoke to your therapist and they started you on those anti-depressants. I mean you’ve practically been bouncing off the walls all weekend.”Camila reached her hand up to her head and rubbed at her temple soothingly.“Another headache?” Lauren asked her intuitively and Camila nodded. “Where’s your medication?”“My locker,” Camila told her.
