"Hi Lauren." Camila smirked as Lauren's jaw gaped open in utter shock and her eyes scanned Camila's figure.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Lauren asked as she pulled her eyes from Camila's body and messed with her cross necklace around her neck nervously.

"I seen your mom in the mall the other day and she invited me." Camila explained. "However, I'm feeling like a slut, everyone's dress goes pass their knees."

"You look absolutely... breathtaking." Lauren's eyes engulfed the beautiful crimson dress, that stopped at Camila's mid thigh and showed a slight bit of cleavage.

"Aw, thank you." Camila smiled. "I would kiss you right now, but I don't feel like being judged anymore than I already am."

The two girls chuckled as they gazed into each other's eyes, but soon snapped out of once they realised they were staring at one another.

"I'm going back over to my date, coming?" Lauren asked, stepping backwards as Camila nodded vigorously.

The two dark haired girls traveled back over to the table as Bradley perked his head up at the sight of Lauren. Lauren and Camila sat on the same side as Bradley was seated parallel to them. The three teenagers made awkward conversation and Camila would roll her eyes every time Bradley would say something cute to Lauren. Lauren noticed Camila's eye roll and slithered her hand down Camila's thigh, then interlocked their fingers together. Camila glanced down at their hands and smiled absentmindedly, before looking back up so she didn't look suspicious. The music pace slowed down as Bradley gasped, jumping from his seat. A slow song, Lauren cursed mentally.

"Care to take this dance?" Bradley offered as he held out his hand to Lauren.

Lauren quickly let go off Camila's hand as she nodded and hesitantly took Bradley's hand. As Bradley led her to the dance floor, Lauren looked back and blew Camila a kiss. Camila slummed back in her chair miserably as she watched Bradley put his hands on Lauren's waist and Lauren placed her arms around Bradley's neck.

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?

Camila rolled her eyes at the song. She should be singing this to Lauren, she should be dancing with Lauren and she should be holding Lauren close to this song. Not Bradley. Camila groaned as she shuffled over to the bowl of punch and poured herself a drink. She lingered there for a while, keeping tabs on Bradley and Lauren and making sure he wasn't making any moves.

"Want to dance?" She heard sniggering behind her as she turned around and saw the one and only Austin.

"What are you doing here?" Camila asked confusingly as Austin grabbed random pieces of food from the buffet table.

"My friend wanted me to come and be his wingman." Austin rolled his eyes as he chewed on a few crisps and took a large gulp of his drink. "Anyway, your mate was certainly a cockblock the other night."

"Yeah, how's the nose?" Camila questioned as she traced her index finger down Austin's nose and let out a small chuckle.

"I've had worse, your friend is really protective over you but I think we could finish what we started." Austin smirked as he stepped closer to Camila and placed his hand on Camila's right hip.

Lauren was burning holes through Austin's body as she glared at the pair over by the punch bowl. Camila retracted her hand from Austin's face as she stepped back from the guy and shook her head vigorously. Camila quickly grabbed her drink and darted back over to the table as she collapsed in her seat. Austin furrowed his brow confusingly, he thought that's what Camila wanted or adleast what she had made him believe. Camila sighed heavily as she returned her gaze over to the Bradley and Lauren. Lauren peered over Bradley's shoulder and flashed Camila a proud smile as she mouthed the next lyric, whilst remaining full eye contact with Camila; For I can't help falling in love with you.

Camila's cheeks turned to a deep shade of red as she flashed a cute smile over to Lauren. She blew Camila another kiss and the smaller girl couldn't help, but hide her darker blush with her hands. Lauren smirked, drawing her attention back to Bradley and the song finally ended.

The happy pair strolled back to the table and returned to her seat next to Camila as the two girls gazed at each other.

"I need to go to the bathroom, come on Camila." Lauren announced as she stood up from her seat, grabbing her bag and dragged Camila along without no option.

As soon as they got close to the restroom, Lauren looked back over at Bradley and noticed he wasn't looking there way. So, Lauren dashed out of party, continuing to yank Camila along, and they darted pass random people almost completely falling over. The two girls giggled as they rushed out of the church doors and snuck behind the back of the church. The girls looked around making sure no one was around as they stared up at the repaired windows, that they once broke. Lauren grinned when she saw the their graffiti still stained on the wall. Camila plonked her butt down on the grass and leaned her back up against the wall as Lauren joined, after taking in her proud vandalism.

Once Lauren had sat down, Camila instantly shuffled closer to her as Lauren placed her arm around Camila's neck and the smaller girl nuzzled her the side of her head into Lauren's shoulder. With Lauren's free hand she dug through her purse as she pulled out the metal flask and grinned happily. She unscrewed the lid off as Lauren took a few gulps of the strong whiskey and Camila shook her head, tearing the container from her lips.

"You're going to be drunk within the first five minutes." Camila laughed as she took a few sips of the liquor and handed it back to Lauren.

"That's the whole point." Lauren smirked. "However, the party wasn't that bad as I thought."

"It was terrible." Camila groaned as she yanked the flask from Lauren's grip and started drinking a lot more. "God, I hate Bradley."

"It's not his fault, babe." Lauren flashed her a sad smile as she planted a soft kiss on her cheek.

"Babe?" Camila smirked as Lauren blushed deeply, toying with her lower lip.

"Just a name... thing." Lauren shrugged, averting her eyes from Camila awkwardly and tried covering her up anxiousness.

"You're cute." Camila giggled as she peppered short kisses down Lauren's neck. "Anyway, tonight was the worst night ever... the way you guys danced together, to that song, it boiled my blood."

"You're hot when you're mad." Lauren laughed as she slid her hand down Camila's leg and pecked her temple.

"Don't get too close, Jaurgeui, someone could catch us." Camila joked as slowly kissed down her jawline, edging closer to Lauren's lips.

"Please don't joke about that, it gets me anxious." Lauren pulled away from Camila, putting both of her hands on her lap and fidgeting with her fingers.

"Sorry." Camila mumbled. "Don't move away from me, no one will see us, babe."

Lauren just smiled at Camila's mockery but didn't make any attempt of moving closer to Camila again. Camila slowly sat on top of Lauren's lap and moved Lauren's hair out of the way of her neck as she planted gentle kisses along her sensitive skin. Lauren grinned as Camila nibbled delicately, making sure not leaving any marks.

"Lauren!" The taller girl heard a voice call out, but Camila was too busy leaving kisses on Lauren's neck.

"Camila! Someone's coming, get off!" Lauren whispered-yelled as she shoved Camila off her lap aggressively and they both quickly stood up, before Bradley appeared.

"Oh, sorry Brad, Camila felt abit sick and wanted some fresh air." Lauren lied as Bradley eyed the two girls weirdly and stopped at Lauren's neck.

"Is that... lipstick?" Bradley furrowed her eyebrows together and swiped his finger over the lip mark of red lipstick as he saw it rub off onto the tip of his finger.

Camila averted her eyes to the ground as Lauren's mouth fell open and was unable to utter a word out. What was her excuse?

"Anyway... the party... is ending now." Bradley pointed back with his thumb with a weird tone to his voice as Lauren glanced over at Camila and the two girls hesitantly strolled back into the party.
