seeing double

Camila meets a pair of identical twins, Lauren and Michelle Jauregui. But while they're identical in looks, they're drastically different people. Michelle's confident and Lauren's shy. Camila makes it her mission to get Lauren out of her shell.

"Mila, look."

Camila feels Dinah knock against her arm in an attempt to get her attention. She doesn't bother looking up from her phone. "What?"

"Twins," Dinah replies, "New, hot girl twins."

Okay, that got Camila's attention. The brunette locks her phone and shoves it back into her pocket, following Dinah's gaze to see two girls who were almost identical to each other walking down the hallway in their direction.

Both of the girls had dark hair, one of them with it cut just above her breasts, and the other had it flowing down to almost her waist. Both had green eyes, but one of the girls' gaze was trained to her feet, her sister guiding her along the almost empty corridor. While there weren't many physical differences, their styles seemed to contrast – the girl with the longest hair was wearing a summer dress even though it was September and looked like she'd spent hours on her makeup, and the girl whose hair was slightly shorter was wearing an oversized sweater and some jeans, her face makeup free but sporting a nose ring. The girlier one practically oozed confidence, whereas the other girl seemed shy and awkward.

Both Dinah and Camila are a little shocked when the girls came to a stop in front of them.

"Hi," the girl with the longer hair speaks, sending them both a warm smile. Her sister doesn't look up. "Um, my sister and I are kind of lost? Do you know where we can find this classroom?"

The girl holds out her class schedule, and Dinah takes it from her and reads it over. "Yeah. My friend and I can take you there if you want?"

"That'd be great, thank you," the girl smiles, and nudges her sister forwards. "I'm Michelle, by the way. This is my sister Lauren."

"It's nice to meet you both." Camila replies, looking over Michelle as Dinah closes her locker and starts leading them down the corridor. "Where did you move from?"

"Oh, we were born here in Miami," Michelle answers, and Camila watches as she squeezes her sister's hand carefully. "We just went to a different school up until now."

"Oh, okay," Camila figures it'd be a little invasive to ask why, so she turns back to her phone for a moment. She finishes typing out the text she was previously about to send to Normani, and when she looks back up, she's met by a pair of emerald eyes.

Except they're not Michelle's. They're her sister's.

Almost as soon as Lauren meets Camila's gaze, she looks away again and keeps her eyes trained on the floor. Camila is about to tell Lauren that it's okay, because obviously the other girl is shy, but Michelle speaks again.

She clears her throat and smiles. "So, um, I didn't get your names."

"Dinah Jane Hansen," Dinah introduces herself with a smirk, "and this is Karla Camila Cabello."

"Just Camila, actually," Camila is quick to add, "I hate the name Karla. Makes me sound like a fifty year old crazy cat lady."

Camila notices how Lauren starts tapping on her pants with the hand that's not holding her sister's and she's a little surprised when the nervous girl actually speaks. "I'm Lauren Jauregui."

Her voice is raspier and deeper than her sister's, and honestly, it makes Camila melt. Except she pushes any thoughts like that out of her mind, because she hardly knows these girls.
