"Okay well I'm Lauren Michelle Jauregui and I'm 18 and I plan on attending the UW in Seattle next year hopefully. I graduated high school last year and I'm taking a break before college. So ya I live in Seattle. My parents are Michael and Clara, and I'm cuban too !! I have two younger siblings; Taylor and Chris. I really like to draw. I play softball. I'm 5'4 (pretty average I guess idk??). I enjoy singing too. I can play piano. I like watching friends in my spare time. I love the 1975 and the script.  I like wearing flannels, ripped skinny jeans, leather jackets, and combat boots. I sound like an intimidating try hard bitch BUT I SWEAR I HAVE A REALLY NICE SIDE !!" 

I immediately felt my heart beat out of my chest. I don't know what's going on. I'm feeling something. Something I've never felt before. My hands are all clammy and I can feel my stomach doing flips. This girl is amazing.

"Oh my god. you are so cool what even"  I respond
"Aw thanks babe."
she called me babe. she called me babe.
Lauren and I talk for the rest of the night. Eventually I check the time and it reads
"4:18 a.m"
oh my god. I need to go bed. I just realized Lauren and I are in different timezones. She's three hours behind me. I just don't know how to say good night.
"hey Camila ! Isn't it like 4 in the morning in Miami??"
"yea..😁"
"oh shit you have to go to sleep. just text me tomorrow (::"

She sends me her number and I send back mine.

"Alright I guess ya! I'll talk to you tomorrow for sure . night Lauren (-:"
"night camz. (;"
Camz. camz. did she just. camz. is this a new nickname?? oh my god. we've known each other for a few hours and she's already giving me a nickname?? oh my god.
Once I calm down I set my phone down on my nightstand. Why am I getting all flustered over this new internet friend? I've had plenty before. I have so many Twitter mutuals & people I've met on tumblr before Lauren. So what's the big deal with her? I don't think before now I have thought of myself ever having feelings for another girl but.. I think Lauren is different. I think I really like her.
