Lazy (Camren)

Lazy

"You can't cook?"

"Nope."

"Me, too." Camila smiles, but then frowns. "That means we won't survive here for very long."

Lauren makes a face and nods slowly.

"Just bring home pizza every day."

"No, we'll die of grease."

"Once a week."

Camila contemplates it and Lauren just eggs her on with an ok sign with her fingers. It makes Camila laugh and she makes an ok sign too.

If Camila had to pick one word to describe her impression of Lauren, it would be 'lazy.' The brunette always stares at her funny as the girl seems to take the longest naps ever on the couch.

Does she even go to class?

Lauren's usually asleep on the couch or watching some movie or engrossed in some book. Camila's never really seen the girl really leave the apartment or working on homework or cleaning.

So when Camila brings up the subject of school at dinner, she's not too surprised by Lauren's answers.

"You only have one class?"

Lauren just nods. "Sometimes I don't need to go because it's research-based."

Camila just scrunches her eyebrows together. "But when are you researching?"

"Two weeks before it's due."

"Procrastination is bad!'

Lauren just shrugs her shoulders. "I still get it done."

"Well, how about a job? Do you have one?"

"I've never had one."

"Wow, how are you paying for college?"

"Scholarship."

Camila starts to wonder if Lauren's one of those people who are incredibly lazy, but brilliant. Suddenly, Lauren jumps up and grins widely.

"Just kidding, I do have a job."

"What is it?"

Before she answers, Lauren leaves the kitchen and goes to her room. A minute later she comes back into kitchen with a new shirt on and holds the hem of her shirt out for Camila to see.

"I'm a part time millionaire~"

Camila just shakes her head at the girl's antics with a huge grin on her face. There was so much more that meets the eye than Lauren's shy side and lack of conversation and stoic nature.

So much more.

The first time Lauren invites Camila to do something with her, it's an invitation to sit next to her on the couch to watch Soul Surfer. Camila has a paper to write and research to do, but she drops it all at the girl's invitation. Pizza is offered and blanket is shared throughout the whole thing.

After the credits roll, Lauren lets out a content sigh.

"That was a really inspiring movie. It really inspires me to do great things."

"Like what?"

"Well," Lauren raises her index finger, "Number one, dye my hair black again."

Camila bursts out into laughter.

"And number two?"

Lauren just looks up and taps her finger against her chin in thought.
"I don't remember, but I've already listed the most important thing."
