You Know (C.C / You)

Whoever decided to create high school reunions can go fuck themselves. I didn't want to go, but Reese is practically forcing me. She and Lauren are going together, and they're dragging me along.

It's not that I don't like reunions or anything, I just don't want to see Camila. Lauren said she might not even be going, but then again, Lauren is usually wrong.

We got out of the car, my sister and Lauren walking ahead at me. I sighed, shoving my hands in my pockets. I walked into the school, and memories started to flood my mind. Sighing, I followed the two into the gym.

I stood at the entrance, looking around. It's only been five years, so I don't see why they're holding one.

I looked around, my eyes landing on the taller girl. Instead of wearing regular clothes, she wore her Navy uniform. I walked over to her, saluting.

"Ms. Hansen," I smiled at her. "Long time no seen."

She chuckled, "Hey Y/N," she hugged me. "How've you been?"

"Eh," I shrugged. "How about you? Normani is here, just so you know." I wiggled my eyebrows.

Dinah cleared her throat, "I'm engaged, actually."

My eyes widened, "What? To who!?" Just as I asked, another girl walked over with two glasses of water.

"Y/N, this is my fiancée, Zendaya," Dinah introduced. I looked down at her ring finger, seeing the ring.

"Wow," I muttered, looking at Zendaya. "I love the ring. It's nice to meet you."

Zendaya smiled at me, "Thank you. And it's nice to meet you, too. You dated Camila, right? Dinah talked - and I kinda read your book."

I glanced at the two, then the floor, silently chuckling, "We broke up, actually."

"The hell? I leave for five years and you two can't maintain a stable relationship?" Dinah scowled. "Shame. But no, really, what happened?"

I scratched the back of my neck, "We just split apart, I guess." Yeah, I lied. I don't want to be embarrassed because Camila said no, and I rather not relive the pain of it all.

"Is that Dinah Jane Hansen?" Ally walked up to us. "I believe it is, well I'll be damned."

Dinah laughed, "Hey smalls. How've you been?"

Ally shrugged, "I'm actually here to arrest Y/N," I furrowed my eyebrows. "I'm joking. But I'm great, I'm a detective now."

Dinah smiled, "That's great, Ally. But I would like you to meet someone," Dinah started. "This is Zendaya, my fiancée."

"So I've heard," Ally shook Zendaya's hand. "It's nice to meet you, Zendaya."

"You too,"

"Well, almost the whole gang is here," Lauren made herself known, walking to us with her arm over Reese. "Hey Dinah and Ally."

"Hey Laur," Dinah waved. "Yo Reese. This is Zendaya, my fiancée."

"You're fucking engaged?" Lauren inquired, shocked. "Damn. It's only been five years. You move fast. But it's nice to meet you, I'm Lauren."

Zendaya laughed, "Hey."

I looked over at the gym doors, seeing Normani and Camila walking in with each other. I bit my lip, looking away from Camila as she walked over to us with Normani. I zoned out, figuring everyone was catching up with each other.

"I invited Vero, by the way," Ally told me, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Ethan is with his dad tonight, and I figured she could come out and have some fun."

I nodded, "Okay."

Camila glanced between Ally and I, hearing the conversation. I'm pretty sure everyone in the circle did, but they didn't question it.

"I still can't believe you're getting married," Camila said.

"Yeah," Normani muttered. "How long have you two been dating, again?"

"About four or three years," Zendaya answered.

"Well," I started. "At least some people think they can handle a marriage at such a young age."

Camila rolled her eyes, "But what if something happens? What if they fall out of love?"

"Then they would've handled it," I responded. "And besides, when you get married you should know that you would love that person forever.." I trailed off, my eyebrows furrowed. "Unless you - they had doubts about their love for this person."

I looked up from the ground, locking eyes with Camila. She stared back at me, her eyes sad. It was silent in the group, no one knowing what to say. I felt a hand slip into mine, and I looked down to see Reese's. I swallowed, putting on a tight smile as I saw Vero walk in.

"Hey Vero!" I greeted. "Nice for you to join us. Let me introduce you to everyone."

Normani sat on the bleachers, staring at the ground. She heard the music playing, and the sound of laughter and chatting.

"You know," Normani started as someone sat next to her. "I never would've thought I would be miserable in this place ever again."

Y/N laughed, "You and me both. How are you holding up?"

Normani shrugged, "I've been better. How about you? Seeing Mila and all?"

Y/N sighed and leaned forward, "Did she tell you why we broke up?"

"No," Normani shook her head, turning to look at Y/N. "Why?"

"I proposed to her," Y/N stated. "And she said no and left me."

Normani sat up, eyes wide, "What? You proposed?"

"Yeah," Y/N muttered. "I did."

•

"I'm glad we waited," Reese said. "We got the hard part over with."

Lauren smiled at Reese. The two were dancing to The Scientists by Coldplay, as were other people.

"Your friends seem nice," Zendaya mumbled. "Though Normani keeps glaring at me."

Dinah sighed, moving on her feet with Zendaya, "Stop looking at her. Look at me. I love you, okay? Not her, you."

Zendaya smiled at the reassurance, "I love you, too."

Camila sat at the top of the bleachers, listening as Ally chatted about something. Camila was looking at Y/N and Vero, who were smiling and talking.

"- Are Vero and Y/N dating?" Camila interrupted.

"No," Ally answered. "Why? You jealous?"

Camila sighed, "No. I didn't come back here for Y/N, I came back here for my job," she got up. "Nice seeing you, Ally."

Camila left the gym.

"And I thought high school had drama," Ally sarcastically murmured as her phone rang. She answered it, "Hello? Yeah - yeah, I'll be right there."

"Camila and I were the lovers that went wrong," Y/N told Vero. "A part of me will always love her, but to answer your question, I'm over her."

Vero nodded, "I understand where you're coming from with the 'I will always love her' part," she paused. "Ethan's dad, his name was Luis, we dated a bit in college. We were in love, at least we thought, and then I got pregnant. Luis said he couldn't be with me anymore because he didn't love me, but he would be there for Ethan. And Luis -- he's part of Ethan, and I love Ethan."

Y/N nodded, placing a hand on Vero's knee, then quietly said, "Looks like we're both a little broken inside, huh?"
