Camila POV

As I'm lying around Saturday morning after another weekend party,I decided to text Chris to start my investigation.

Camila: Hey Chris, did you have fun last night?

Chris: Hey there... Yeah it was alright, I didn't see you too much. Did you leave early?

Camila: No, I was just hanging out by the beer pong table and on the dance floor most of the night. I think I saw you over by where the bar was set up. Anyway... what are you up to today?

Chris: Not shit... sleeping off this hangover. You?

Camila: Same. Just relaxing.

Chris: You wanna come over? My family was thinking about watching the football game then a movie, or we can just go downstairs to watch a movie.

Camila: Sure.. I'll be over in a while

Chris: Sounds great ;)

Perfect. I feel kind of bad for using Chris like this, but hopefully it doesn't have to go on for too long until I figure out if his sister is the mysterious girl from the parties.

I lounge around for about 30 more minutes before finally getting my lazy, hungover ass out of bed. I grab some clothes and a towel and head to my parents' master bathroom so that I can sit in the Jacuzzi tub before hopping in the shower to wash my hair.

"Did you have a good time last night hunny?" Mom asks as I walk through her room. Looks like she had the same lazy Saturday idea that I had.

"Yeah mom it was pretty great"

"Sissy! Can we go to the zoo today?" my little sister Sofia asks

"Aw Sofia, I'm going over to Chris Jauregui's house for a while today. Maybe tomorrow if it is nice?"

"Chris Jauregui? That's random. Do you like him?" my mom chirps in

"Mom, I'm just going over to hangout! No need to overthink things." I assure her

"Okay...don't be too late. I would like to see my daughter some this weekend."

With that, I go into the bathroom and take a nice relaxing bath followed by a quick shower to wash my hair. I decided to just stay in there to do my hair using my mom's stuff instead of getting all of my bathroom supplies out.

"Bye guys! Be back later!" I yell to mom and Sofia as I head out the door.

Once I get to Chris's house, I text him to meet me at the door so I don't feel awkward ringing the doorbell or anything.

"Hey there! Bout time you make it here" he says with a wink

"I struggled to get out of bed this morning" I punch him in the arm

We go into his house and into the family room where his parents and one of his sisters, Taylor, is. I say hi to everyone as we sit down. After a good hour of sitting around talking with his family and watching the Alabama game, Chris texts me even though I'm sitting right next to him.

Chris: I'm sorry if this is lame. The game is almost over so do you want to go down to the basement where there's a big screen TV or do you want to stay up here to watch a movie with my family?

Hmm... if I say downstairs, I can try to sneak off to talk to Lauren. But then again, she is going to probably be up here watching a movie.

Camila: We can just watch a movie with your family, I don't mind at all. Want me to go get your other sister?

Chris: Sure if you want. Her room is downstairs, first door on the left.

This is just what I want. Now I have my chance to confirm that she was the girl at the parties.
