there's nothing like me and you (and you know it)

Famous Lauren sets up a dating account and uses her real picture. Camila meets up with her after the site matches them, thinking that she's definitely going to get catfished.

Lauren has been looking at her computer screen for a good twenty minutes and she's ready to call it quits and succumb to her ultimate fate of never finding anyone. She thinks she'll be fine growing old alone with just her two cats if she doesn't have to talk about what she likes to do in her free time ever again. Because now that she thinks about it, she doesn't have much free time in her lifestyle anyway and so when she has a cleared schedule for the first time in almost two whole years, it's like she's forgotten how to function like a normal, social person.

She just finished her worldwide tour and has been given a couple months of break before she has to be back in the studio and although she's thoroughly enjoyed it thus far, she was also reminded of just how single she is. Her best friend, Dinah, tired of her dramatics and constant complaints about being single finally pushed her to make a dating profile online because you never know, Laur. There are success stories in those things too, you know. Your last real relationship was your cheating ex and it's time you get him out of your system, girl!

The raven-haired girl thought about it for a while and figured she doesn't have much to lose.

What are your hobbies?

Lauren thinks about what she does when she's not on stage or the studio or writing music. She wiggles her fingers, hovering just above the keyboard of her laptop as if that's suppose to help her type up her profile.

"Okay," she says to herself. "I like...to watch the food channel," she says out loud as she types. "Oh! And hanging out with my cats. I also like to read anything and everything I can get my hands on." Once she starts typing, she starts getting more comfortable and actually begins to feel excited to know that she has a life outside of music after all. "I prefer quiet nights in over partying in a club on the weekends and am currently learning how to knit."

Lauren has a huge smile on her face when she starts to reread her profile, which quickly drops into a frown once she finishes going over it. "Oh my god, I'm a 90-year old grandma," she groans as she drops her head on the dinner table and whines to herself. "God, this is stupid. How did I let Dinah talk me into doing this?" she asks herself. "There's gotta be better ways to meet people."

She reluctantly finishes the rest of her profile, citing her eyes as the first thing people notice about her (despite the question specifically saying "other than appearance"), music as the one thing she can't live without, and the brain as the part of the body that she's most attracted to. She figures that's really not where that question was trying to lead her to but she doesn't really give a fuck at this point. Whoever this site is going to match her with is just going to have to deal with her singing, knitting, and books-reading ass.

The green-eyed girl downs the rest of the wine in her glass and looks over the profile one more time, uploading one of her favorite pictures from her recent Vogue shoot as her profile pic before she clicks on submit. She heads straight to her bedroom afterwards and refuses to give the site another look, figuring that whatever happens, happens.

Camila's attention is brought out of watching MasterChef Junior when she hears an unfamiliar chime on her phone. She raises an eyebrow at the notification when she sees it's from the dating site she's been on for a couple weeks now.

Her roommate and best friend, Normani, had created a profile for her without her knowledge because the girl thinks it's high time Camila moved on from her ex and she couldn't take the pouting and moping around anymore so she took matters into her own hands.
