Mirabelle's POV continues
*********
The final paper was a bitch, I just wanted to get drunk and wasted on liquor until I could barely breathe. Okay, maybe that's extreme but I deserve a bottle of white wine.
Rachel the traitor, took her friends balling in her car leaving Molly and I here because she saw Adrian's car. Adrian must have been seeing the principal for something once again.
Camilla, Molly and I are among the last few people in school.
The hour after the paper ended, God we lost our minds, there taking pictures, pictures, final art projects, lots of colour splashes. As I sit here with Cami and Molly, I'm covered in festival colours, from head to toe. I didn't get it as bad as Camilla and Molly did but I hate that its in my hair.
Camilla's hair is covered in so many colours it looks like a rainbow done poorly by an artist but she's making it work. Her shirt is also covered in colours, mostly purple because one girl wouldn't stop putting it on her.
Camilla is texting on her phone while Molly is live on Instagram. I had no idea she was this big of an influencer but of course, Molly and I had pageants together and she always came in second or first at times I lost in the talent category most of the time but Molly? The girl shined through and through.
Even after giving up pageants earlier this year she's found ways to become more famous, she is a brand ambassador for so many businesses. Molly is a natural at this, she's a people pleaser and people live for it.
“Yes, our whole family is pretty.” Molly giggles holding the phone closer. “Oh Belle, there's a question for you. Do you have a boyfriend and is Alpha Adrian single?” She shakes her head after the last question. I peek on the screen once again, I read a question about how the school is so empty and we're just the two of us.
“There's a lot of people here in fact Molly and I are not alone, my beautiful friend Milla is sitting right here.” I say waiting for the back camera, Camilla doesnt look up from her phone. “Camilla,” I called out. She looks up and tilts her head, “Say hi to Molly's followers.” Camilla looks between us confused and waves to the camera with a smile. I'm reading the comments, most of them complimenting her.
“What's wrong Camilla?”
“Ryan is in a meeting, I forgot to tell him I'd be off at three instead of five today. Now I have to wait for Michelle to come who is also busy.”
I nudge Molly when I see Adrian approaching us. “Bye guys. See you later.” She says into the camera, blowing kisses with her hand before shutting her phone off. I never understood why she switches off her phone after going live and I will never ask.
Camilla tenses before she even sees him, when he reaches us he pauses, his eyes solely on her as he takes in her look. Camilla looks at Adrian but says nothing.
“Hey.”
Camilla struggles not to answer but she does, “Hey.” She whispers hoping he'll look away but he doesn't. Molly being the blubber mouth she is chuckles, “Geez Adrian, she's not even out of highschool, stop eye fucking her.”
I swallow a laugh and both Camilla and Adrian look at her. I look at Adrian, really looking at him and I clear my throat to draw his attention, “Let's go.” I say.
He nods and turns to leave, Molly blows Camilla air kisses and follows Adrian. I give her a hug and we say our goodbyes. I want to offer her a ride but I know she won't accept it because Adrian is driving. I pick up my yearbook along with the rest of my stuff, and walk to the car.
Adrian is leaning against the car, I put my stuff in the trunk and open the door but Adrian is still. I follow his gaze and it lands on Camilla and her stuff, she's tapping the table with her left hand while holding her phone in the other one.
“What's wrong with Camilla?” He asks, his gaze still on her.
“Tsk, like you care.”
He turns to look at me, with a cocked brow. I roll my eyes, “Fine, she forgot to tell her brother she'd be done with her paper by three instead of five and he's in a meeting right now.”
“Call her.”
I slide my phone open and call Camilla, she picks up looking at me. “Miss me already baby?”
“I do, but that's not why I'm calling. Adrian umm said I should get you.”
Camilla shakes her head, “I don't want to.”
Adrian snatches my phone and brings it to his ear, “Belle will come to help you with your stuff, come here. I'll drop you off at home, the school is almost empty.”
I watch Camilla and she doesn't speak, Adrian nods me towards her. I go back to where she is and help her with her stuff. We get into the car and Molly is already dozing in her seat.
We've been driving an hour and Camilla is quiet, Molly is asleep, her head resting on my shoulder and I'm wondering why I'm sitting in the middle or why we are all in the backseat. I turn to Camilla and nudge her with my shoulder, she looks at me instantly, and exhales as if she were holding her breath the entire time.
“Mmm Cami, I have some questions here, let's answer them.”
Camilla narrows her eyebrow at me and laughs, “Seriously, we just answered like a hundred questions in there.”
I let out a small chuckle as I swipe my screen to prevent the phone from locking. “They are not educational, just a few questions for fun.” I tell her and he nods slowly. I look back to my phone and clear my throat, “Would you rather drink water for six days straight or anything but it has to have a little spit in it.”
Camilla snorts, “Spit clearly.”
“Yea,” I giggle. “I guess we do drink spit when kissing.”
“Umm, not the same but yeah.”
“How many kids?” I ask, tilting my head towards her. Her face slightly widens and I laugh.
“Uumm I don’t know six or maybe nine.” She says.
My answer is instant, I snort out. “What the fuck, you don’t love your vagina do you?”
Adrian looks back at us but quickly looks back to the road. So not only the mention of Camilla but her vagina too alarm him.
I ignore him just like Camilla does. “I can do five kids at most but handling? Definitely over twenty.”
“As a professional babysitter I would say I can handle an entire birthday party of kids but I'll settle for a few. But they have to be multiples like the quadruplets I told you about.” She giggles.
The next few minutes turn into a conversation about kids. I tell her she should meet my nieces and nephews when they come to visit us this holiday.
I don't realise how much time goes by until Camilla steps down at her pack house. We watch as she walks away, Tiana comes into view with another boy chasing her. She hides behind Camilla, making faces at the boy that was chasing her. He stops in front of Camilla, ignoring Tiana as he speaks to Camilla.
I'm still watching them because Adrian hasn't started driving yet. I recognize the boy from our first year in highschool, he used to hang out with Mikel and had a huge crush on Rachel. He transferred last year but I know him, we see each other most times. Camilla gives him a high five and he steps away as she and Tee make a run for it. Only then does Adrian start driving. I take a deep breath and sigh audibly with the intention he hears me.
“Ah, Camilla gets all the hot boys. Good for her Nick is such a lucky guy, dating the princess of these parts.”
The car stops with a screech, “Nick? Who is Nick?” He asks. His voice deepens when he mentions Nick.
I laugh so loud I almost wake Molly up. Adrian doesn't start the car again, instead he asks me a question. One that I won’t answer, he repeats it once more and I can’t help but laugh.
“Who is Nick?”
