[4:12pm, Camila]- Guys I've fucked up...

[4:12pm, Ally]- Language young child!

[4:13pm, Camila]- Sorry Allysus :))))

[4:13pm, Dinah]- Oh god Mila what now!! Did you fall over again?

[4:14pm, Mani]- Did you high five get rejected??

[4:16pm, Camila]- WORSE! Okay so I was just at the beach and I had an ice cream and I literally turned round and threw it all over myself and a really really REALLY beautiful girl :((((

[4:17pm, Dinah]- How romantic...

[4:17pm, Camila]- CHANCHO I'm being serious! :(

[4:18pm, Dinah]- Okay chill Mila ;) Where are you now?

[4:19pm, Camila]- I'm just arriving back at the hotel lobby! I keep replaying it over and over...

[4:21pm, Mani]- Stop thinking about it, girl! Seriously there's nothing you can do about it now! It's not that big of a deal really!

[4:22pm, Ally]- True! And she probably just thought you were cute in a... clumsy and... goofy kinda way!!

[4:25pm, Dinah]- ...Mila where have you gone?

[4:27pm, Camila]- Guys... she's in the lobby....

[4:27pm, Dinah]- WHAT!?

[4;28pm, Ally]- PRAISE THE LORD FOR TRUE LOVE!!!

[4:29pm, Camila]- K guys pretend to text me...

[4:30pm, Mani]- Mila... WE ARE TEXTING YOU!! Hahahaha ;)

[4:34pm, Dinah]- Okay what's happening now?

[4:34pm, Mila]- She's coming over!

[4:36pm, Ally]- Ughhhh its so unfair that Camila can just chill on the beaches in Spain and I have to stay here in stupid Miami helping my dad at work while Mila has vacation romances :(((

         Camila's heart suddenly kick-started as she watched the green-eyes girl across the lobby spot her and wander over, a light, silky scarf wrapped around her body, hiding her crimson bikini and toned features.

        "Ice cream girl... right?" The girl chuckled, and Camila simply leaned back, folding her arms and raising a dark eyebrow.

        "Is that how I am known now?" She smirked, feigning confidence as she felt her body break into a slight sweat at the emerald eyes swept quickly up and down her toned skin. Was this girl... checking her out? A faint smile cracked on the girl's plump lips.

       "You can be known by anything you want, babe." The girl said, suddenly switching into an equally confident pose, folding her arms too and jutting out her defined jaw slightly.

        "Camila Cabello." The smaller girl suddenly whimpered, feeling every ounce of confidence and style in her body suddenly melt into the floor as the green-eyes girl suddenly towered above her, those jade green orbs piercing through her very soul... they hit her hard. Really hard. It was almost as if those eyes could see past her skin.

         "I'm Lauren. Lauren Jauregui. You're Spanish then?" She asked, and a shadow of a smile spread across Camila's face... were they both Spanish? The excitable chatter of the hotel lobby seemed to dim into a distant fuzz of volume as the small girl felt completely immersed in their conversation. Camila was aware of every cell in her body. She was exposed. Self conscious. Stood in the hotel lobby with nothing but a flimsy white bikini and a pair of flip-flops to stop herself being completely naked. A flushed, pink rash climbed up her tanned neck as the small girl grew more and more stimulated... a feel of fuzzy warmth settling into her abdomen as she chatted aimlessly with the stunning human being before her. The feeling was happy... but scared. It was the feeling when you're watching a scary film, burying your sweating face behind a pillow...  but similarly not being able to tear your eyes away. She was exhilarated.

         "So Camila... there's a moonlight party down by the hotel pool tonight at midnight... be there!" Lauren suddenly said, and Camila felt her hazel eyes widen in excitement.

          "I... I'll try! I mean... you know what family are like, right?" The small girl jokes, suddenly switching back into the reality of the lobby around her, and glancing over to her family who were waiting for her impatiently by the elevator.

           However, as soon as the word family absent-mindedly slipped from Camila's lips, she saw Lauren's eyes... change. Twinkling, excited emerald turned glassy and vacant. Like a hazy cloud had suddenly misted over the taller girl's vision, she seemed to suddenly become lost in her thoughts, her face blank and eyes distant. Camila regretted every mentioning the word.

            As she said goodbye to her new friend, the small girl wandered back to her family and hopped into the elevator, gazing at her feet as her body flushed with nerves and adrenaline... why did Lauren want her to go? Did she want to become friends? And why... why had she suddenly become so distant? Camila was desperate to find out more.
