Wake Me Up

Chapter 1

Lauren's POV

"Hurry Ally! We're gonna be late," I said to my best friend, Ally. We were going to the beach today and she was running late.

"Okay Miss Bossy Pants," she said, walking out of the bathroom, "why are you in such a hurry?"

"We're meeting Luis at the beach. Remember?" I asked, trying to hide my smile. Luis was my boyfriend of 3 months but I honestly hadn't seen him much since summer started. Ally nodded and rolled her eyes, "Yeah of course I remember."

Ally didn't like Luis very much, but I didn't care. She picked up her bag and slipped on her flip flops. I put on my sunglasses and opened my bedroom door, walking downstairs. Ally followed me down the stairs and we headed out to her car.

Once we got to the beach, she instantly set out a towel and I sat on the sand, waiting for Luis. It had been half an hour already and there was no sign of my boyfriend so I decided to get my own towel and lie down. After lying down for a while I felt someone lie next to me and wrap their arm around me. My initial reaction was to sit up and push them away, but when I looked at the person next to me it was no stranger. Luis finally showed up. Over an hour late. I really didn't know how to react to Luis when he showed up. Part of me wanted to hug him and tell him how much I missed him. The other part, however, wanted to move him away from me for being so late. Did he not care about our relationship?

"Hey babe," he said, sitting up next to me.

"Hi," I said with a flat voice. I didn't want to show any emotion toward him. He looked concerned, usually I was so happy to see him.

"What's wrong?" he asked and held my hand. I felt myself exploding on the inside.

"What's wrong, Luis?! Are you kidding me? You're late every time we make a plan, you're incredibly late! No wonder Ally doesn't like you," as soon as I said this Ally looked at me with her eyes widened. "Are you cheating on me? I wouldn't be surprised if you are." I stood up and looked at Luis. There was a look of shock on his face that grew with every word I said.

"You don't have anything to say? Classic," I said. I shook my head and walked down near the water. I splashed the water, kicking it with every step. As I was walking I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. I felt someone hitting my shoulder with theirs and I looked up instantly.

"I'm so sorry! I swear I didn't mean to run into you," she said. The girl who I hit shoulders with, that is. I wish I could've apologized but I found myself staring. Her body was beautiful. Amazing legs. Perfect curved hips. Perky breasts. Then I saw her face. I swore I was looking at the most beautiful angel then, but I snapped myself out of it when I saw him. Not Luis. Her boyfriend. I didn't even know this girl and I was already jealous of her boyfriend, who I also didn't know. I had to keep telling myself that my jealousy was stupid. 'I'm not even gay. I have a boyfriend,' I thought to myself.

"Let's go, Camila," her boyfriend said. He had to notice my staring because he seemed very uncomfortable.

"Yeah, okay," she said, "again I am so sorry." All I could do was nod, indicating that it was okay. God, I probably seemed like the biggest bitch. I watched her walk off and I again found myself staring, but this time at her butt. Camila. The perfect name.

Once I couldn't see her anymore I ran back to Ally. Luis wasn't there anymore, so I decided it was okay to tell Ally what happened.

"Ally?" I asked, biting my lip and looking up.

"Lauren! Are you okay?" she noticed my nervousness and seemed concern.

"I don't know what's wrong with me. I saw this girl and I just couldn't believe how beautiful she was and I just think that..." I said, but I was cut off. "What girl? And what do you think?" I heard a male voice behind me and I knew exactly who it was.
