Lauren's POV

"So what's the plan for today?" Alyssa asked as we waited for the elevator to take us to the first floor.

"Do you want to go to the Hollywood sign and change the words to Hollyweed?" Dinah asked. I couldn't help the small smile from making its way to my lips.

"I'm down as fuck." I commented.

"Umm, as much as I would be down to do that, no. I don't think I would be able to save us from getting arrested." Amy said while standing across from me. Dinah scoffed and crossed her arms in annoyance.

"It worked once, what makes you think it wouldn't happen again?"

"The Hollywood sign is under twenty-four hour surveillance, cops will be called immediately when they see a breach in their sensors, and they won't just send 1 cop, but a whole squad of them." Olivia stated with her arms crossed.

"Okay, but we could outrun them." Dinah sassed.

"Dinah! Shush! We are not doing that, and that's final." Ally silenced her.

"Y'all just don't know how to have fun." She mumbled before leaning against the elevator wall with a pout.

"Shut up! Changing Hollywood to Hollyweed is not fun. It's a lot of exercise that I am not willing to do." Zendaya argued.

"That's true." Camila agreed as the elevator stopped at the first floor. "Besides, it's our last day. Let's do something that we won't be able to do back in Florida."

"Let's go surfing!" Alyssa shouted as we stepped out of the elevator, in which we crowded. We all turned to her with 'are you kidding me' faces.

"Alyssa, we have a beach at home. We could surf there." Normani stated.

"Yeah, but these are Cali waves. It's not the same." She said before walking towards the receptionists to return our room keys.

"She can be so dumb sometimes." Amy commented as we waited for her cousin. "I have no idea how we're related."

"Bitch, I do!" I said as the others laughed. "You can be just as dumb as her sometimes."

"Laur, shut up." She gave me an unimpressed look.

"Just saying." I mumbled as I stifled a laugh. She rolled her eyes at me just as her cousin returned. 

"Yeah, well I don't want you to say, okay?"

"Damn, girl. Chill." Zendaya said as we walked towards the exit of the hotel with our souvenirs from Sea World.

"I'm sorry, I just get annoyed easily now." 

"As if you didn't before." Dinah smirked.

"See, it's shit like that that pisses me off. Just drop it. Leave it as it is."

"Bitch, you always just try to have the last word." 

"No I don't!" Amy raised her voice a bit towards Dinah. Sure enough, another one of their infamous bantering began. I heard Camila groan beside me before I felt myself being dragged away.

"I love those two, but damn are they annoying." Camila mumbled to me as we walked to one of the rental cars. She opened the trunk and placed her small bag of extra clothes inside before gently taking mine from my hands, along with the fake swords. "I'm still kind of bummed that we weren't able to visit San Francisco."

"I know. I'm sorry you didn't get to go. I know that's the one place you wanted to visit." I said as I leaned against the side of the car and brought her closer to me. She stared into my eyes for a few seconds with a hint of sadness in them. Before I could ask her what was wrong, she sighed and wrapped her arms around me as she hid her face in my neck.
