Laurens POV
I slowly opened my eyes when I heard chattering. Once my eyes were fully open and I had gotten used to the light I saw Camila staring at me with a smile plastered on her face. I furrowed my eyebrows and sat up while rubbing my eyes.
"Why are you staring at me?" I asked with my voice more hoarse than I wanted. It was then when I realized two other people in the room. I turned my head and saw a girl glaring at me. I furrowed my eyebrows more. She had dark brown hair that was split in the middle. She was tall compared to Camila.
"Who the hell are you?" I asked.
"I'm Zendaya." She said with attitude. Yeah I definitely remember that attitude.
"Well can you get the fuck out. I don't like waking up with bitches in my room." I replied with just as much attitude.
"Who the fuck do you think you are talking to me like that?"
"Bitch you're in my house I can talk to you any way I want." I said standing up. I started making my way towards her until Camila dragged the bitch out. She took her into the hallway and shut the door. That's right Camila tame your bitch. I chuckled to myself. I turned my attention to the other girl.
"And who are you?" I asked more harsher than I intended it to be. She looked at me with a small smile. I know who she is but I just want to see how she will respond. She ran her hand through her light brown hair then looked at me with her brown eyes.
"I'm Alyssa. I'm really sorry about waking you up. I told them we should talk somewhere else but Camila insisted we stay here because you needed to wake up anyways." She shifted awkwardly.
"What a bitch." I mumbled. She started to chuckle at my comment.
"Soooo..what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well Camila said we should come over so we can hangout." She answered shyly.
"She only asked two of you to come?'
"No the others are on their way here." I felt my eyes open more. Fucking Camila. I told her I didn't want her stupid friends in my room, and what do I wake up to? HER STUPID FRIENDS IN MY ROOM! I am beyond furious.
"Camila told us about you not wanting us in your room so i'll just lea....." she started to say until I cut her off.
"No it's fine. I mean you're already in here. Just sit or something but don't touch my stuff." Just then Camila came in with that Zendaya chick. She glared at me and sat on MY couch. I opened my mouth to say something but Camila pulled me out into the hall.
"So are you going to tell me why you brought your stupid friends to my house." I snapped at her as soon as she closed the door.
"Jeez you're not a morning person are you." She said with a smile. I glared at her and she just rolled her eyes.
"Look I invited them here because you said I could and...." I didn't let her finish talking because my anger got the best of me.
"I said the house not my fucking room!" I raised my voice at her.
"It's the same thing." She said calmly. I looked her in disbelief. "Look they're already here so you just have to deal with it." She reached for the door handle but I grabbed her wrist and pulled her farther down the hall.
I took a deep breath and looked at her yet again.
"Fine I'll allow your damn friends to be in my room. But if they are anything like that Zendaya bitch they're out."
"Zenny isn't a bitch."
"Really because the way she stares at me says otherwise."
"Well you have to get used to it because you're going to have the 'Fab 5' in a room with you, and all of them dislike you." She said with a smile.
"Good the feeling is mutual." I mumbled. I saw her looking down so I did the same. It was then that I realized I haven't released her wrist. I quickly let go and mumbled a sorry. She looked back up at me and smiled.
"It's ok bitch." She winked at me and walked back to the room while holding her wrist.
Why did she wink at me? Why does she seem more bubbly today, and why the hell am I standing in the middle of the hallway thinking about her? I shook my head and went back into my room. I shut the door behind me and turned to see three pair of eyes staring at me. Two had smiles on their faces while one was just glaring. I rolled my eyes and went into my closet. Jeez is this how Camila feels when Becky does the same to her?
I quickly grabbed some shorts and a crop top and rushed into my bathroom. When I looked at the mirror I sighed in relief that today was one of those days I didn't look like a zombie in the morning. I took a hot shower to relax myself. When I dried my hair and changed I put on a light amount of make-up. I normally wouldn't put make-up on if I was going to stay home, but the 'Fab 5' are going to be here so I have to look good. After making sure I looked presentable I walked back into my room... only to find it empty. I sighed and walked over to the nightstand to check my phone. Shit it's already 8:30.
"Yeah so that's my new closet." I heard Camila say. I turned around to see the 'Fab 5' walking out of MY closet. Lord save you now Camila. They all turned their heads to me. I saw a shorter girl with light brown hair. Her name is Ally. Then another tall girl gave me a death glare. Her name is Dinah for sure. They were glaring at me except for Alyssa. She had a small smile while Camila was just staring. I saw her eyes raking over my body. I'm glad I put on shorts and a crop top. Wait why am I thinking this? I couldn't help but notice what she was wearing. She had tight light blue jeans with a simple white t-shirt, and her black and white converse with a cute white bow on top of her head. Wait did I just say cute? What the hell. I quickly looked away flushed.
"D-don't touch anything." I stuttered. Why the hell did I stutter? Maybe i'm just a bit intimidated by having all five of then in front of me. Yeah that's it i'm just intimidated! I mean all five of them are here and i'm just by myself. All of a sudden guilt hit me. If this is how Camila feels when I invite my friends over then I really should let her use my car more.
Wait what the fuck am I thinking! No she should feel intimidated by my friends.
"Don't worry we weren't going to." Camilas soft voice broke me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see her with a small smile. We locked eyes for a few seconds before I walked out of the room. When I closed the door I sighed in relief. What the hell was that about? After I calmed down I looked around the hallway. Why did I just walk out of my room? I shook my head because honestly I have no answer to that question.
I decided to go to the kitchen and eat a hot pocket. When I put it inside of the microwave I served myself a glass of juice. I sat on the counter and dangled my legs while waiting for the beeper to go off. I could hear laughter coming from upstairs. When the beeper went off I jumped off the counter and grabbed a napkin. I opened the microwave and grabbed the hot poket with my hand.
"FUCK!" I shouted as soon as I grabbed it. I quickly dropped it and watched it fall on the floor.
"Shit shit shit." I kept cursing as I put my hand under the cold water. It was then that I realized someone's laughter behind me. I turned around startled, only to see Camila hunched over laughing while holding her stomach.
"What the hell are you laughing at?" I snapped at her.
"You." She said through her laughter. I sat on the counter and looked down from embarrassment. I felt my cheeks burn.
"Look i'm sorry but its funny because it's either you never push start or you burn yourself while working with the microwave." I looked back up to see her walking in my direction. "You should pick that up."
"I am" I mumbled. She stood directly in front of me. I felt my heart racing, and my breathing started rising, but why? Maybe it's because she is reaching over for the knifes right beside me. I gulped when she held it in her hand.
"I'm not going to kill you." She said chuckling. I just slowly nodded my head. She skimmed the knife over my thigh looking directly into my eyes before turning around and placing it on the opposite counter. I felt a shiver run through me.
"W-what are you d-doing here?" I stuttered again. I mentally face palmed my face. Why am I stuttering?
"Oh the girls want Hot Cheetos with lemon and salt." She answered while turning to face me. She smiled at me and started to laugh. "You really thought I was going to kill you didn't you?"
"Well you did run the knife over my thigh." She stopped laughing and furrowed her eyebrows.
"I don't know why I did that. Sorry." She said with a frown. I couldn't help but feel bad about her frowning.
"I feel like you were trying to seduce me." I joked trying to make her smile. It worked because she let out a chuckle.
"Oh yeah I was definitely trying to seduce Lauren Jauregui." She said sarcastically. Then she took a lemon out of the fridge and started to cut it. I don't know why but it kind of hurt knowing she was being sarcastic.
"Well I wouldn't blame you if you were." I said. She turned to me with a smile then shook her head.
"And why is that?" She said throwing away the lemon and putting salt in a family sized Hot Cheeto bag.
"Well i'm not a part of the 'Hot 5' for any reason but only because I earned it." I answered with a smirk. I heard her chuckle which made me frown. She went over to the sink and rinsed the knife before walking over to me again. This time she skimmed the knife over my thigh a little harder than before while her left hand rested on my right thigh. I inhaled sharply. She smiled at me and placed the knife back in its holder before placing both hands on my thighs. She looked me in the eyes for a few moments before whispering in my ear.
"Maybe you did earn that name."
I was shocked by what she said. Is she saying I am hot? I felt my face heat up so I looked down. She removed her hands from my thighs. For some reason I wish she didn't. When I glanced at her face again she was covering her mouth with her hand. She looked shocked as she took a few steps backward. She quickly turned around and grabbed the bag of Hot Cheetos.
Before she left through the doors she glanced over her shoulder and said "Don't forget to clean that up."
Just like that she left back upstairs leaving me completely shocked. I sat there for a while wondering what I was feeling. After I recovered from shock I jumped off the counter and cleaned up the Hot Pocket. I looked at my thigh and saw a scratch mark on it. The bitch left a mark on me. I put water on it and drank my orange juice. My appetite has decreased after what Camila had said. I leaned over the sink and washed my cup. Out of nowhere I felt someone slap my butt. I turned around to see Olivia.
"Hey girlie." She said tossing her blond hair to the side while wearing a smile.
"Oh my god I thought you were....nevermind. What are you doing here?" I asked giving her a hug.
"More like what are we doing here." I heard Becky's voice. I turned to my left to see them sitting on the stools while leaning on the counter.
"What you didn't get enough of me yesterday Amy?" I said with a smirk.
"I come in peace I swear." We started laughing while everyone else had confusion on their faces.
"What are you girls talking about?" Normani asked.
"Oh it's because yesterday Lauren and I were messing around with..." Amy started to say until I interupted her.
"With whipped cream." She looked at me confused but I just shook my head.
"Okayyyy." Becky started. "So anyways were here to talk about the PARTY!"
"How did you guys get inside?" I asked.
"The front door was wide open." Olivia said.
"Fucking Camila." I mumbled.
"Oh speaking of her where is ...." Amy started to say until Camilas shouting interupted.
"LAUREN WE'RE GOING TO USE YOUR PO...." she stopped talking when she entered the kitchen. Her freinds were standing right behind her while holding towels.
"What the hell are they doing here?!?" Normani asked. I looked over to see Becky with a serious face, Normani with an angry face, Olivia with a confused face, and Amy with a shocked face.
"We're here to hang out with our best friend. You know she lives here right. So what the hell are you doing here?" Zendaya said with attitude.
"Of course we know that. And were here to hang out with our best friend, you know she owns the house right." Olivia said with a smirk.
"Look Lauren were just going to ...." Camila started to say until she was interupted by Becky.
"Lauren kick them out. This is your house so they don't need to be here."
"Shut up Becky, Camila lives here to so we have as much right to be here." Ally said. I couldn't help but chuckle because they were both short.
"What's so funny Lauren Jaurebitch?" Dinah said with a smirk.
"Clearly your fucking face is!" Normani shouted while standing up. I looked over at Camila and she just shrugged. Dinah started to charge towards Normani but Camila and Alyssa grabbed her and dragged her away.
"Yeah that's right tame your bitch Camila." Becky said Causing Normani and Olivia to laugh.
"Shut the fuck up because to us you're just Laurens bitches." Zendaya said. I felt my mouth open.
"Fuck you!" Becky shouted and started walking to her. I looked over at Amy and she looked worried. I nodded at Becky and she understood what I meant. She grabbed her wrist and sat her down on the stool while whispering something to her.
"You know for a short person you have alot of anger." Zendaya said with a smirk.
"Listen Zenfucker if I were you I would shut the fuck up right now before shit turns ugly." I said annoyed of her. Just then Camila entered the kitchen and pulled Zendaya and Ally away with her. When they left I let out a sigh of relief.
"What the fuck was that about? Why didn't you kick them out Lauren." Becky said standing up from the stool.
"Look you're right this is my house, but I gave Camila permission to invite them here if she wanted to."
"Ugh Lauren that was such a stupid decision." Olivia said.
"Go up to my room I'll be there in a little bit." I said hoping they listen. I watched as they slowly made their way to the stairs. I turned around to look at the sink and took a few deep breaths. Jeez if this is how they're going to be then maybe throwing a party with all of them here isn't a good idea.
"I'm coming with you to talk to Camila." I heard behind me. I turned around and saw Amy standing at the door.
"How did you ...."
"I just do ok." She answered. She gave me a smile in which I returned. We made our way to my backyard. When we stepped outside we saw Camila on the sunchairs while the others were sticking their feet in the water. I felt Amy tense beside me.
"If they decide to attack us it won't be a fair fight." She mumbled to me.
"Trust me they won't do anything. Or at least I don't think they will." We slowly walked up to Camila. As we walked I couldn't stop staring at her. Luckily the sun was actually out otherwise it would have been really stupid to be at the pool. I tapped on her shoulder and she slowly sat up.
"What Lauren?" She asked. I looked over at Amy and she understood what I meant. She sat at the edge of the pool and stuck her feet in. Good thing she was wearing shorts.
"Camila I don't think throwing a party is a good thing if our groups are going to be there. My friends clearly hate yours and it's vise versa." I stopped talking when I noticed she wasn't looking at me.
"It doesn't look like it." She mumbled. I looked at her confused until I looked over and saw Amy and Alyssa talking to each other. At first I was expecting them to be arguing until they started laughing. I looked at Camila with a confused expression.
"What the fuck." I mumbled.
"You know I think Amy might be the decent one out of you guys." Camila said. "Everyone else are complete assholes. Well you're in between."
"Gee that means alot." I said sarcastically. I looked up to see Zendaya glaring at me from across the pool. Ally and Dinah were staring at Alyssa and Amy with confusion. I took a seat on the sunchair that Camila was on. I sat there and stared at Camila. Why am I just noticing how nice her hair looks. She turned her head to look at me so I quickly turned around.
"Did I give you that scratch?"
"Yeah you did."
"Good." She said with a smile. I rolled my eyes at her and stared at the floor.
"You know Lauren we shouldn't talk to each other in front of our friends." I looked at her and nodded.
"They're probably seeing me the same way I am seeing Alyssa talking to Amy."
"And how is that?" I asked.
"Confused, mad, but mostly upset."
"Why do you feel that way?"
"Confused because they are not arguing, mad because you guys are our enemys, and upset because Amy has all of Alyssa's attention." She said. "How do you feel seeing one of your best friends talking to someone you thought you hated?"
"Thought I hated? I do hate you." I said jokingly. She rolled her eyes but still smiled. "But over all I feel the same."
"So you should leave to your friends then." I nodded and stood up. "Don't forget this one." She pointed towards Amy.
"Come on Amy let's go." She turned to me and nodded. She gave Alyssa a hug and started walking to me. When we went inside I brought her to the kitchen again.
"What's going on with you and Alyssa?" I questioned because I am very confused.
"Nothing." She answered while grabbing some chips and placing them into a bowl. I raised my brow at her and she sighed in defeat.
"Ok well I sit next to her in History so obviously I have to talk to her. So after getting to know her we found out something that shocked both of us. And well now we kinda get along."
"Well what did you find out." I felt my curiosity crawling to my brain.
"Promise not to say anything?"
"Is she the one you have been dissing the others to go see?" I questioned even though I know the answer.
"Yes she is but do you promise not to tell anyone what I am about to tell you." She asked with pleading eyes. I looked into her nearly hazel eyes and noticed the desperation behind them.
"You know I would never tell anyone what you are going to tell me." She sighed and grabbed another bag of chips.
"Ok well.....Alyssa and I are...well we're. ......hmmm...we're cousins." She said in a small voice. She turned to look at me. "Don't look at me that way."
After I recovered all these questioned started piling inside my head.
"Go ahead and interrogate me." I laughed because she knows me to well.
"Hey are you guys coming up?" Olivia asked as she came into the kitchen.
"Yeah were just getting snacks." Amy answered quickly. Olivia nodded her head and went back upstairs.
"I'll ask you later. Lets just go upstairs before they get more angry." I said grabbing the bowl of chips from her. We made our way up the stairs poking and tripping each other. When I reached the last step I dropped some chips on the floor when she tripped me causing me to fall on my knees.
"Bitch." I mumbled while standing up and glaring at her. Her eyes quickly widened and she bolted to the room. I looked at the ground that was now covered in chips. I was to lazy to throw them away so I just scooped them back into the bowl. I laughed to myself remembering when fricken Camila did the same with my Chinese food. I walked into my room to see everyone watching a movie.
"Thanks for waiting for me assholes." I said throwing a pillow to Normani's head. She was going to say something until she saw the chips in my hand.
"Oh chips come here." She said rubbing her hands together.
"I know you guys want to talk about..." I started to say until Olivia stopped me.
"No we don't. We just want to watch a movie right now."
"Are you sure because....." I was cut off again when Becky interrupted me.
"Laur just shut up and watch the movie."
"So you guys are just going to forget it like......."
"LAUREN SHUT UP!" They all shouted in unision. I stood there shocked.
"Laur we love you but please don't ruin our happiness by talking about them." Normani said patting the seat next to her. I just smiled and took a seat next to her. What did I do to deserve such amazing friends like these girls? We all squished onto the bigger couch as we pushed play on a scary movie. If they are willing to ignore what happened earlier then maybe the party won't be so bad. Hopefully.
