Camila had a list. The List full of things that would seem an everyday activity and when you read them you'd  think, "I just did this yesterday," or "We could go outside right now and do this." But in Camila's case, she just didn't want to do these things on her list alone. And that's how Lauren Jauregui got herself into specific situations involving
- Go skinny dipping at a beach
- Sleeping on previous mentioned beach (clothed)
- Taking a photo in front of a sunrise and sunset
- Getting in a fist fight
And last but not least,
- Sleeping for a whole 24 hours

Lauren's eyebrow rose at the last one for sure because she couldn't remember a time where it seemed Camila didn't sleep for 24 hours. But then again, if she wants to do the List. Then so be it.

They decided to start with the things that they knew would be difficult, they saved the easy ones for last.

Lauren decided that they'd get the fist fight over and done with. Camila seemed uncertain about it. Lauren could see the doubt in her eyes.
"You're the one who wanted to do this, yes?" She asked Camila as they lined up for entrance to the club. It was dodgy, there was someone passed out on the sidewalk with a busted lip, a black eye and a small cut on their forehead. There were people leaning against the wall smoking cigarettes and of course there was those stumbling around with a bottle in a brown paper bag. It was dodgy, but what do you expect the outside of a fight club to look like?

"I know I wanted to do this, it's just that these guys are all serious and stuff. Whereas I'm a little bunny compared to them." Camila said, her wide eyes keeping watch between the sidewalk person and the drunks.

"Well remember that we've been training for this so you won't be totally useless. Just remember what I taught you. Defend your face with your hands when you aren't throwing punches. Try to find their weak spot and when you do, specifically keep throwing shots there. You already know the other punching crap so." Lauren grabbed the shorter girls shoulders and shook her slightly.
"You can do this, Camila. I believe in you."
Seeing the confidence and excitement in Lauren's eyes made what was about to happen all worth it. Or so she thought.
Being in the fight ring was very unlike training with Lauren. With Lauren there was encouraging words being yelled at her whereas here, people were yelling horrible things at her. But within all of the discouragements from the small crowd surrounding the cage, Camila could pinpoint Lauren encouraging her on.
The girl she was fighting against sure knew her way around the ring and obviously, this scared Camila. Why did she want to do this in the first place? This was stupid. When she meant a fist fight she meant a drunken bar one where she actually had a chance of winning, not cage fighting!! Which Camila was pretty sure was illegal. How did Lauren even find out about this place?

"You see Camz, that wasn't all that bad." Lauren poked Camila in her cheek but drew back when the shorter girl let out a painful hiss.
Moving the ice pack away from her face, Camila turned to Lauren and spat at her, "Yes it was. I almost died."
Lauren rolled her eyes, "Stop being so dramatic, Camz. You lived, you're here now. Plus, you've got one thing crossed off your list."
Lauren held up the list and showed her the big red cross on "Get in a fist fight."
Camila flashed a small smile, sure what she went through was like Hell 2.0 but hey, she did it, she got in a fist fight.
"Yeah I guess you're right, but just know this. I'm never doing that again."
With a laugh and an arm across Camila's shoulder, Lauren just said, "Wouldn't want you to anyway, Camz."

The next thing to be crossed off the list would be doing three things at once. They'd get a photo with the sunset, go skinny dipping in the dark, so they couldn't see each other obviously. Then they'd get out, get changed and just go to sleep. They'd wake up before sunrise and get a photo of that. Instantly, they've crossed three things off of Camila's list. It didn't seem like much but they've forgotten some important things for this event.
Like, towels, food, water and blankets.
When the girls had arrived to the beach they unpacked everything they had and realised that they left things behind.
Unfortunately, sunset was a few minutes away so somebody had to stay behind, obviously it was Camila being it her list and everything.
