Reflection: Adopted by Fifth Harmony

Camren is WHAT?!

After getting lost a few times thanks to the GPS on Lauren’s phone, we end up at an ice cream parlor called Marcie’s right next to the hotel. I follow the girls into the shop, pulling out my camera that I use for my videos.

“Hey Paigizers, how’s it hanging?”

Normani snorts, “Wait, did you just say ‘how’s it hanging’? What decade is this?”

I pout at her, “You’re spoiling the surprise! I wanted to introduce you guys.”

“Oh, I’m sorry girl; I’m over here ruining your video.” Normani says, placing her hand on my shoulder.

“Excuse her!” Camila says, wedging herself between me and the camera, “Hii, guys!! OMIGOSH I’m with Paige!”

I smile, “So much for my surprise for you guys. I’m hanging out with the amazing girls of Fifth Harmony and we have, like huge news for you guys, but I’m not gonna tell you now because they’re going to-”

“Announce it later!” Ally says, quickly interrupting me.”

Camila continues her fangirling, “This is my main chick right here, guys. I’m sorry, Ariana.”

Lauren stands behind us, “They just met, Paige, tell her.”

I laugh, “Everybody say hi!” Since the girls are already working their way into the line of the camera. Dinah, Ally, and Mani wave in the back and make various strange faces.

“I guess that’s it for now y’all, but I love you all, and remember to blow up my PMs and ask box with requests, questions, or whatever. Mwah!” I rush out quickly, blowing a quick kiss to the viewers and then shut off the camera.

“Shall we order, then?” I ask, once the video is over and everyone has regained their composures (mainly Mila).

We step up to the counter and all of a sudden the most beautiful guy I’ve ever seen steps up to the counter. I note that he has tan skin, gorgeous green eyes and close-clipped black hair. He must be mixed with something.
“HI!” I basically scream, losing my cool. That was…embarrassing to say the least. The girls catch on and giggle in the background while I blush profusely. Literally my entire body heats up. He smiles, “Hi there. How can I help you?”

“Uh…uhmm… can I have um? Do you have a menu?”

He laughs, “A menu? This is an ice cream place we don’t really have one, but I can read you the flavors?”

I look down and read the labels on the tubs, “Nah, I think I’ve got it…um…”

“Excuse our awkward child here,” Dinah says; embarrassing me even more, “Can I have a strawberry cone with sprinkles and a cherry on top?”

“Yeah, and for me can I just have vanilla with crushed Oreos.” Lauren adds, more interested in her phone, but still smirking at my apparent guy shyness.

“Can I have mint chocolate chip?” Normani asks next.

Ally goes afterward, still basically keeling over. I’m just gonna insert where she laughed to highlight exactly how long her order took, “Can I have *laugh laugh* Oh, my *laugh*, Wow, okay, *giggle, deep breath* I’m sorry. Can I have um, *laugh laugh*,”

Now the giggles have spread through the entire group, “Shush you guys!” Ally exclaims, “Re d velvet with M&M’s please?”

Camila looks at me, “Do you wanna order or…?”

I smile at her, trying to telepathically communicate thanks, “Um, can I have a cookie dough uce cream with Reese’s and M&M’s? Thanks.”

“Sure thing.” He says, smiling directly at me, “I’m Montez.”

I blush even more, smiling at the ground. After Camila orders, and we grab and pay for our ice creams, she makes her way to me smirking, “I thought you had a bae?”

“Camiiiilaaa! We’re just friends.” I whine.

We move a little farther from the group and grab a table with three seats, “So, Tay isn’t your boo?”

“Who isn’t her boo? Taylor?” A raspier voice better known as Lauren’s asks. She joins us at the table hoisting herself up to the high seats. It was a struggle for me to get up here, too.

“Taylor is only my sorta-kinda boo. We’re friends. He just likes me. What about you two?” I ask, switching the conversation to them.

Camila smiles widely, “What do you mean?”

Lauren smirks, “Why so suspicious, Camz? Why don’t you tell her what she wants to know?”

The look that passes between them is totally unmistakable and I can’t contain myself, “CAMREN IS REAL?!?!”

Both Camila and Lauren’s eyes go wide and the entire store gets silent until Dinah and Mani burst out in laughter “What?!” Normani asks laughing.

“Well, Lauren said-”

“No I didn’t, babe,” Lauren giggles, “I was referring to Camaustin.”

Camila is clearly still in shock because it’s written all over her face.

“Mila, you good, boo?” Dinah asks, snapping her out of her trance.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Wow. I wasn’t expecting that. Are you, like a Camren shipper or something?”

“No, not really, I just thought because of your faces…”

Now she laughs, “No, it’s just that Lauren likes to tease me about Austin. I’m basically in the same situation with him as you are with Taylor.”

The silence sets back in between us as we go back to eating our ice creams until Lauren mutters and snorts, “I can’t believe you thought Camren was real…”
