*Lauren's POV*

It's today. Today is the day I'll perform in front of one of the best singers I know, Demi Lovato. I am so nervous I barely ate before leaving my house. Dad gave me his best hug and told me that if do my best I'll pass and I hope he is right.

"Hi Mani, sorry I'm late!" I yell as I park my car in front of her house.

"Thank god you're here! Lauren we have to be at school for the auditions in 10minutes" She says getting in.

"I know I know I'm sorry I was so nervous to see Demi that I didn't even know what to wear"

"Well, the wait was worthy because oh my god you look hot!"

"Are you sure? I think this is a little too much..."

After trying out pretty much all the clothes I own, I decided to go with a baby blue thin shirt, some dark jeans and a pair of dark beige high heels. My hair is just like my natural kinda curly hair because every time I try to do something different to it, it gets worse than it was before.

"No no don't be silly it's perfect"

"Thanks Mani"

"I'm excited about this audition"

"I am too now hurry up, we're late!" I tell my best friends as I pull over and we run to the auditorium. Everyone that it's not auditioning is in class but the juniors and seniors that are going to, have to go to the auditorium and wait for the amazing, Demi Lovato.

"and with that I hope you can behave and- oh Miss Jauregui Miss Hamilton come in, you're late."

"I'm sorry Mr. Lincolnshire" We say in unison to our headmaster. I look around and the auditorium is full, I find someone waving at me and it's Dinah, I wave back. 'Here' she points to the empty seat next to her.

"You can go, I'll find a seat somewhere else" Normani reassures me. I really don't want to leave her alone and that's when I see that Dinah is pointing to the other seat next to the girl next to her, it's her, it's Camila. I instantly grab Normani's hand and I go up to them as fast as I can.

"Hey Dinah, thanks for-"

"Ladies can you please seat down already, Miss Lovato will be here soon." Mr. Lincolnshire yells at us I sit down next to Camila and Normani sits down next to Dinah.

"Hi, I'm Camila"

"He-ey I'm Lauren" I say while shaking her hand.

"I know"

Oh that smile I could stare at her forever and ever and ever. She's just so beautiful... Her smooth voice and her hand is so tiny! Her soft skin, I swear I've never felt such perfect skin... I am interrupted from my thoughts when the teenagers in the auditorium started screaming. Woah, such fangirls. Oh my god it's Demi!! I can't believe it, it's really her! She's at my school ahhh. Without knowing I put my hand on top of Camila's and she is fangirling too, more than me actually she's too cute and she didn't even notice that we are holding hands. I really don't want to let go.

"Hey guys!" Demi screams back at the crowd of teenagers screaming her name "how are you doing today?" the crowd screams again. "So I hope you're ready to show me what you got, let's do this!" she says while going to sit down.

"Oh my god I can't believe this is really happening!!!" Camila says really excited, she notices we are holding hands and she stares at me for a while, smiling.

"Dawgs this is gonna be amazing'" Dinah speaks up a little louder than she should.

"Calm down omg"

"Normani, I can't stay calm it's De-"

"Mi Lovato" we all say at the same time.

"So this is how it's gonna be" Mr Lincolnshire spoke up "The 50 of you will perform today and only 25 is going to get picked up to attend Miss Lovato's class, good luck to all of you!"

As the teenagers in the front row started going up the stage to audition, me and the girls started getting really nervous. I am really excited to hear Camila sing for the first time though, I've been sitting next to her for an hour already and she smells so good. I'm going to sing If Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys, Camila picked Respect by Aretha Franklin, Dinah picked If I Were A Boy by Beyoncé (obviously she is crazy addicted to her) and Normani picked Chain of Fools by Aretha Franklin. If I didn't know better, I would say Camila and Normani picked together hahaha. After what seemed like forever there were few students left to audition and it was Normani's turn following by Dinah afterwards. Woah, they did so well I am happy for them. It's Camila's turn and before she got up, I grabbed her hand squeezing it along with a toothless smile reassuring her that it would turn out a good audition. It felt really good, our little connection. I was nervous for her, I feel like she is too fragile and she can break if she doesn't do well on stage.

"Hi I'm Camila" She said in a shy tone.

"Hi Camila, are you ready?" She nodded.

Throughout the entire performance I was blown away. She sings so well, I'm amazed! It's like she becomes a different Camila while singing. More confident and it could be really intimidating if you think about it. Demi just told her she did great and I can see that Camila is on the edge of fangirling. She runs up to us and we all congratulate her, then I heard my name being called and I froze.

*Camila's POV*

I just can't believe that I did it. I did it! I sang in front of my idol and she said she liked it, I couldn't be happier. It's Lauren's turn now and I know she is going to be amazing...I mean I watched her cover of Speechless like a million times before until I decided to follow her on Twitter. I love her husky voice it gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

"You can do it!" Dinah slaps Lauren's butt encouraging her as she walks to the stage. 'Ouch' She whispers.

"Go Lauren!" Normani yelled making Lauren smile and look behind and her eyes met mine. She has such beautiful eyes. I could easily get lost in them. I give her a big smile and she does the same. She starts singing. Oh my god, she sounds amazing, it almost brings tears to my eyes. She finishes her audition and everyone stands up clapping and cheering, including Demi. I am so happy for her right now.

After the auditions it's time to know the 25 lucky students who are going to have the pleasure to attend Demi's classes. Names are being called to the stage and until now all of them didn't go through. I hope I don't get called right now.

"Camila Cabello"

Fuck.
