The truth about Lauren!

Mel and Carly followed Lauren to the car. They watched as she routed around for awhile and she finally emerged with a backpack in her hand. She took out a cell phone and started dialling.

"Stay here! I'm going to see if I can hear her" Mel whispered to Carly. She nodded and watched as Mel crouched and tip-toed over to the car. Hiding behind it she listened as Lauren talked.

"...I know right...and you said I wouldn't do it... Is he jealous?...perfect...Yea we're here...Sam, please...She's totally jealous...She's hanging around Freddie like a bad smell...can you say desperate!...So when are you arriving?" she listened as the person on the other end spoke.

"...So I'll meet you tomorrow...and when Shane see's me with Freddie he's going to wish he never broke up with me...I don't care if he's in senior, no one dumps me,...you know the best part! Pretending to date Freddie is annoying Sam too...It's perfect...Look I got to go! See you...kisses" she hung up.

Mel waited until she was back at the camp with Freddie before returning to Carly. She was still in shock. Carly noticed the look on her face.

"Well...what did she say?"

"She's using Freddie to make some senior jealous and she's also trying to get at Sam through it too"

"That little...urgh!" Carly cried out in frustration. "Come on we need to think of a way to catch her"

They walked back to the picnic area where Freddie, Spencer and Lauren were sitting. Making a quick detour to the bus to check on Sam, they sat down.

"How is she?" Spencer asked when they return.

"Asleep" they were both looking at Lauren. She was lying down, Her head on Freddie's chest, giggling at him. After awhile they both got up and decided to go for a walk. Spencer told them to be back before 9.30 because they might get lost. They agreed and walked away. They noticed some of the other camera crews setting up their tents and one very lucky crew working from a Winnebago. They strolled down to the edge of the woods and Lauren turned suddenly pinning him to a tree, kissing him.

He smiled and kissed her back. She looked around before looking at him. "I love you!" she lied, smiling as he took her bait. Like I would ever love this dork! She told herself.

He was thoughtful for a moment before saying "I love you too" she heard a small sound behind her. She looked over and saw nothing before turning back to Freddie and kissing him again.

Sam had woken up about 10 minutes before. She looked out and saw Mel, Carly and Spencer lying on a blanket and Freddie and Lauren standing holding hands. She couldn't look at them so she decided to go for a walk to clear her head. She got to the woods before stopping.

I'll just ignore them, Yea...and soon Freddie will see what an evil, spiteful bitch she really is! She thought to herself. She sat in silence looking at the picture on her phone. They were mainly of her and Carly, one of her and Freddie that was taken by Carly as they were asleep in it and she thought they looked too cute not to preserve the moment. Sam loved the picture. It was the only one of her and Freddie alone. There were a few more recent ones of her and Mel. She was just about to turn on her pear pod when she heard a noise.

Freddie? She thought she recognised the voice. Forgetting her Pear-pod she walked over until she saw Freddie and Lauren. She was holding him against a tree kissing him. Sam had stepped on a twig, causing Lauren to look in her direction. Smiling Lauren turned to Freddie.

"I love you" she said sweetly. Sam's heart dropped. Was he going to say it back? She listened praying for a NO!

"I love you too" Sam gasped. She couldn't take it. She ran, wanting to get as far away from Freddie and Lauren as she could. She turned and ran directly into the woods, holding her mouth so as not to make any noise. She ran for a solid 10 minutes before she stopped. She sat on a log before finally breaking down.
