Chapter 8:
Camila's POV:
Dear Diary,
I think today was the best day of my life! Lauren and I kissed! And she likes me too! Okay I need to breathe. But oh my God. This girl is amazing. No one has ever made me feel the things that she makes me feel. My heart beats ten times faster when she's around. But seriously SHE LIKES ME!!! Let's hope everything works out, fingers crossed!
After our confessions for liking each other Lauren and I watched movies. She held my hand the entire time. It was amazing, she held my hand like it was the most precious thing in the world. She caressed the upper side of my thumb so gently like it would break if she did anything else. Nothing has ever made me feel as happy as it did when Lauren held my hand.
After the movie we just talked about high school and she talked a little about when she was in Europe. I wish I could have gone with her. We went to bed shortly after because we both had to be up at 8am.
I think about traveling around Europe with Lauren and how much fun it would be just to simply spend that much time with her. I soon drift off into sleep.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" I yelled. I wake up to Lauren jumping on top of me and the sound of her giggling at my reaction. "You scared the shit out of me!" I half-yelled again while smacking her lightly on the arm.
"I'm sorry, I just missed you," she said and stuck out her lip.
"Aww okay, you're forgiven," I poked her on the nose playfully, making her scrunch her nose, "You're adorable."
"Am not!" She defended herself.
"Oh please! You jump on me to wake me up and then say it was because you miss me, and then I poke you on the nose and you scrunch your nose up like a little bunny and your argument is that you're not adorable? Pffttt."
"Okay fine, I'm a little adorable." She agreed, making me smile. "But you are more adorable!" She said and started tickling my sides, making me giggle and kick my feet like a five year old.
"Stopppp! Laurennn pleaseee! *giggles* it hurts!" I said and she finally stopped.
"See, you're the adorable one here" She pointed out.
"Fine, whatever you say Lolo."
"Y'know I really like it when you call me that." She told me, making my heart flutter.
"Good, I'm glad. I really like it when you call me Camz."
"Good 'cause I really like calling you that too" she said. We smiled at each other, she started running her fingers up and down my arm like she was trying to memorize it. She layed down next to me on my tiny twin bed on the side that was against the wall. She pulled me closer to her and I turned my back to her so we could cuddle. She put one arm under me so my head could lay against it and the other was slung over my waist, her fingers were tracing patterns on my hip. I could feel myself drifting off into sleep in her arms. This is definitely where I want to be.
Lauren's POV:
As I held Camila in my arms I couldn't help but to smile. I was overwhelmed with happiness. I didn't want to ever have to let go. But unfortunately, no matter how many times I wished it away, Camila's alarm went off at 8am and we had to go get ready for class.
We luckily had this class together, at least I didn't have to miss her. Well, not as much at least. I missed touching her, and not in a sexual way, not that I've done that yet. But I miss hold her hand and feeling her body against mine. I miss her lips. I miss the sweet strawberry smell of her shampoo that's left in her hair. I miss looking into her eyes.
Suddenly there was a piece of paper on my desk, folded in half. I look at Camila, who clearly just passed me a note. I open it to see what she has written:
Are you okay? You've been staring into space all class
I write back:
Yeah I'm okay Camzi, thanks :) I just... miss you... *insert blush face here*
I hand it back to her and see her giggle. I'm not sure if it's at the use of the nickname Camzi, because I miss her, or because of the inserting a blush face, or maybe a combination of the three. Whichever it was hearing her giggle made my heart flutter. She passed the note back to me:
C: See, this is why you're the cute one. I miss you too though :(
L: What do you miss?
C: Hmmm... I'm not sure if I should tell you ;)
L: I think you should ;)
C: Try to convince me then ;) <3
L: Hmm... Well I'll tell you a secret if you tell me. Something I've never told anyone before.
C: Very well then ;) You go first
L: Only if you promise you will tell me after I tell you
C: I promiseee
L: Okay.. so this is embarrassing.. but when I was a little kid I tried to jump off the swing during recess, but failed and hit the ground face first. To make it even worse there was a nest of red ants where I landed and I ran away screaming and trying to get them off. I had a rash on my face for like 2 weeks, kids picked on me from then on.
C: Awww Lolo that's not embarrassing, that's rather sad actually. I'm sorry that happened to you.
L: Thanks, but it's okay. It was a long time ago. Now, what do you miss?
C: Ugh.. okay.. I miss the way that you were holding me this morning. And I miss your smile and looking into you perfect green eyes. I miss holding your hand and being with you. I mean we're together now but it's not the same, I mean we're in class...
My heart skipped a beat. She missed me the same ways I missed her.
L: I miss all those things about you too, except I miss you brown eyes ;)
C: Aww :3 Hey there's on 5 mins left of class, can we go get lunch after?
L: Sounds good baby ;)
C: I love it when you call me baby. By the way, Dinah just texted me and said that she and the girls want to record us singing a song later, and she has permission to use one of the studios. You want to?
L: Yes! I've been looking forward to it!
C: Me too :)
Just after Camila passed me back the note class was dismissed. I put the note in my bag and took Camila's hand in my own and we headed to go get some lunch. I loved just doing little things like this with her. Sitting across from her at a table, talking and eating. It's pretty amazing. She makes everything amazing.
