Camren: The Reason Behind Me

Text Messages

Lauren's POV

To: Camila

Hey(: Lauren here, just in case you don't remember, I'm the girl you met on the beach today(:

- Lauren

I pressed 'send' once I finished typing my message and laid back on my bed smiling to myself, "Camila." I mumbled, clutching the phone to my chest.

"Who's that?" Ally asked walking into the room we share, "Is she a new girl?"

"Nah.. Just someone I met on the beach earlier today." I replied, waiting for Camila's reply.

"Are you sure she's just someone?" She smirked quirking her eyebrows.

"Alright, I fancy her yeah?" I said giving in, "She's just different." I added, "A good kind of different."

"I hope so." Ally said sitting down next to me, "I don't want you getting hurt. I swear to God, if she ever hurts you in anyway, she's dead."

"Thanks Ally." I smiled, "For always being here for me."

"Anything for my little sister." She answered with a warm smile and ruffled my hair.

My phone buzzed indicating a new message and I instantly sat up straight to read the text.

"I'll leave you alone, I'll be up here if you need me." Ally offered, climbing up to her bunk.

"Yeah okay." I replied with a thankful smile before opening the message.

From: Camila

Oh, hi Lauren! I thought you'd never text me. How was your day anyways?

- Camila

Camila's POV

From: Lauren

It was great, especially after talking to you. You're really nice to talk to and thanks for making my day a whole lot better(:

- Lauren

I smiled like an idiot after reading her reply, I can't believe I've just met this girl and I'm already smiling at her texts.

To: Lauren

I'm glad to know that I've made your day a whole lot better Lauren. But, pizza will definitely make it 101% better my friend.

- Camila

I chuckled at my reply and pressed send before leaning back against the headboard of my bed.

"Who are you texting Mila?" My little sister asked.

"No one."

"You're smiling at your phone. It's either you're texting someone or you're crazy." She concluded with a smile, seemingly proud with her theory.

"Whatever you'd like to believe Sofie." I replied with a smile, "Go to bed, it's late."

"Okay." She yawned, "Goodnight Mila."

"Goodnight Sofie. Sweet dreams." I said and kissed her on her forehead before turning off the lamp and walking back to my bed.

From: Lauren

Pizza? I guess you're a pizza person aren't you?

- Lauren

Lauren's POV

From: Camila

Definitely. I would kill for a pizza. ((And maybe nuggets too))

- Camila

I smirked at her text, laughing lightly to myself because she is so god damn cute, whether in person or in text. I feel like I can talk to her like a normal person. Yes, I know. She doesn't know that I'm a pop star yet, but I'm sure she won't treat me any differently even if she does.

To: Camila

Even if it's me? Should I be scared?

- Lauren

Even though I know that she meant the text as a joke, I enjoy talking to and making fun of her.

Soon, I receive another text from her. This girl sure replies fast.

From: Camila

Hmm... I may or may not kill you but the bottom line is - DON'T EVER TAKE MY PIZZA ((OR NUGGETS)) AWAY FROM ME. I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN.

- Camila

From that all these texts and that fateful meeting at the beach, I know that she's a person you would rarely come across. Someone who is so full of life and affects the mood of people around her. And also someone who sees good in everything, even if it's something bad.

To: Camila

You don't know where I live. You don't even know who I am exactly.

- Lauren

From: Camila

Sure I do. You never know if I actually stalked you all the way back to your house or something ;)

- Camila

I stared wide eyed at her response, she stalked me all the way back home today? Does that mean she's only talking to me because she found out about my identity? My phone buzzed again and I burst out laughing reading the next text, this girl sure is something special.

"I'm trying to sleep here Jauregui." Ally groaned, "Keep it down."

"Sorry!" I apologized before looking back at my phone.

From: Camila

OMFG. I AM SO SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO SEND THAT. I WAS JUST KIDDING. PLEASE DON'T CALL THE POLICE, MY PARENTS WOULD DIE HAVING A HEART ATTACK.

- CAMILA

To: Camila

Dude, you just made me laugh in the middle of the night you little twat. Anyways, which school do you go to?

- Lauren

Our manager told us last week that Dinah, Normani and I would be attending school until we graduate since our music careers won't last forever. We would need proper education and certificates for any other future jobs. Ally had already graduated and hence would be the one at home doing house chores while we're in class.

From: Camila

Evergreen High. You?

- Camila

I read the message over and over again, am I seeing things or is this reality?

To: Camila

I guess we'll be seeing each other more often than we thought we would (;

- Lauren
