~Feet don't fail me now Take me to the finish line All my heart, it breaks every step that I take But I'm hoping that the gates, They'll tell me that you're mine Walking through the city streets Is it by mistake or design? I feel so alone on a Friday night Can you make it feel like home, if I tell you you're mine It's like I told you honey~

***Seventy-Two Hours Ealier***

~RING-RING-RING~

"Come on Mila! Let's Go, we're outside!" Dinah said through her phone.

Camila moved her curtain to the side and took a peek out her window; Dinah and Ally insisted she come out with them tonight, it is Friday after all. "Already? Geez you guys are fast; I'll be right out!"

She hopped in the car beside Ally and her boyfriend Mason, "Hey guys!" she greeted as she hugged the shorter girl next to her.

"Hey Mila," Both Mason and Dinah's boyfriend, Trevor, greeted her at the same time.

"So happy we're all gonna be together tonight!" Dinah exclaimed turning her body towards the back to face the head cheerleader.

It was a week and half until graduation and the best friends wanted to spend as much time together as they could. Yeah, they know they still have the summer, but that will consist mostly of preparing for their moves to their respective colleges.

"I know!" Camila clapped happily, "wait, what exactly are we doing tonight?" Her eyes brows scrunched, not really knowing what was going on.

Dinah turned back around to face forward, "we're meeting Normani and Cole at The Vine."

THE VINE! Great, a whole bunch of pot smokers hanging in the woods. Sounds like a good time, NOT!

Camila never understood why Normani, co-captain, hung out with a bunch of outcasts who never really cared about their grades, going to class and they certainly didn't have any school spirit, that's for sure. She couldn't understand because the four of them, Dinah, Ally, Normani and herself were all those things. They were all on their way to respective colleges, always at school and they all exuded school spirit; they were all on the cheer squad for crying out loud!

~Don't make me sad, don't make me cry Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough I don't know why Keep making me laugh, Let's go get high The road is long, we carry on Try to have fun in the meantime~

***The Vine***

They arrived at the vine, which was basically a spot in the woods for kids who just did a whole bunch of nothing and smoked. The sun was setting quickly and it was getting dark. They all walked through the woods, making their way closer towards the light and smoke; a fire pit was lit with chatter and laughter echoing down the path they were walking down.

"Awww! Guys! I'm so happy you're all HERREEE!" Normani cooed as she stood up and hugged Ally, Dinah and Camila.

WOW, Normani is sooooo HIGH, it's kinda funny. Camila thought as she hugged her co-captain while she chuckled.

Mason and Trevor made their way to Cole, giving each other high-fives and chitchatting.

"Lit much?" Dinah giggled, "Let me have a hit."

"You can have more than one," Normani winked waving someone over. "Jauregui!"

Camila looked in the direction Normani yelled to. Never really seen Lauren outside of school before or this close. Her brown shiny orbs observed the taller brunette in her beanie, plain, somewhat fitted tee under hear open leather jacked, ripped jeans and combat boots as she made her way to the girls, right next to Camila. WOW she's really beautiful.

"Hey ladies, care for a hit." She said holding out a blunt with a smirk on her face.

"I'd care for a few." Ally said smiling innocently.

Camila watched Lauren and it was as if she was watching her in slow motion. She brought the blunt to her lips, holding it between her thumb and index finger as she flicked the lighter, taking a long drag, handing it to Ally as she blew the smoke out.

Camila could feel her heart pulsate in an irregular pattern and she wasn't really sure why as she continued to stare at Lauren's lips that just blew out smoke.

DAMN. She makes smoking look SOOOOO good, it's not right.

Lauren watched the blunt make it's way to Ally, to Dinah then to Normani, then back to Dinah, to Ally then back to her. The three girls in front of her began to giggle and converse as they slowly made their way around the campfire next to their boyfriends who were drinking beers. The cool, calm and collected rebel took another drag and she couldn't help but notice the younger girl's brown eyes STILL on her.

~Come and take a walk on the wild side Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain You like your girls insane Choose your last words This is the last time Cause you and I, we were born to die~

She slowly turned her body towards the head cheerleader; her green eyes glistening, she was definitely high. "How about you BEAUTIFUL," the word rolled off her tongue and out her lips so seductively that Camila had to clear her throat, "who you like a hit?"

Lauren took in the brunette in front of her. She was wearing Chucks, black skinny jeans and a red coat and it was topped off with a black hair bow.

Normally I wouldn't be into someone who wears a hair bow, but she can definitely rock it and there's something seriously charming about this girl. I'm not gonna lie, I've asked Mani once or twice about Camila…okay maybe more than that, but how could I not? She's so cute, but still sexy, I don't know, SHIT, maybe it's the hair bow.

~Lost but now I am found I can see but once I was blind I was so confused as a little child Tried to take what I could get Scared that I couldn't find All the answers, honey~

Camila's became fidgety, visibly nervous in front of the taller brunette, "Uhh…"

OMG! What is with YOU! You can have ANY guy in this damn town and EVERY guy in this town has pretty much asked YOU out, but THIS girl, this girl makes you NERVOUS? PULL yourself together CABELLO!

"You're really cute when you're nervous, you know that?" the green-eyed girl let out before biting her lower lip. "Forget it, you don't have to if you don't want to." She said as she took another drag, finishing it off before throwing it on the ground and stepping on it.

Lauren confidently grabbed Camila's hand, intertwining their fingers, dragging her towards the logs around the fire pit. They both sat on one of the logs, next to each other.

"We're gonna take a walk!" Ally yelled over her shoulder as she, Mason, Dinah and Trevor made their way into the woods.

"Jauregui, where's Lexie?" Normani giggled out as she leaned on Cole on the other side of the fire.

"She's grabbing my water from the car, I'm getting cotton mouth." She said tossing a rock into the fire.

"You've got that girl wrapped around your finger." Normani said with a devilish grin.

~Don't make me sad, don't make me cry Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough I don't know why Keep making me laugh, Let's go get high The road is long, we carry on Try to have fun in the meantime~

Camila's eyes drifted from Normani and Lauren, listening intently to their conversation, not that they were trying to hide it or anything like that.

"I don't force anyone to do anything they don't want to do." Lauren said holding one hand up, as the other remained intertwined with the younger brunette to the left of her. "Besides, Lexie does her own thing too and it's not like all this is gonna matter once I get to Columbia next fall."

COLUMBIA? Lauren? REALLLLLYYY…stunning and smart, gosh Camila STOP IT!

Camila's head snapped towards the girl next to her, who continued to play with her fingers. "You're going to Columbia?" her eyes meeting flickering green ones from the red flames in front of them.

"Don't be fooled Mila," Lauren make ditch and smoke a lot, she chuckled out, "but she's actually like, third in our class."

Her green eyes turned their attention to soft brown orbs, "yes ma'am," she said with a huge smile, "Law School."

Camila is REALLY beautiful. Lauren thought to herself as she observed the younger brunette's facial structure.

"Me too," Camila's lips pulled to her eyes, "School of the Arts."

Oh I can definitely get used to seeing THIS face and that bow on campus.

"Well I should definitely get your number." The green-eyed girl confidently closed the face gap between them.

Camila took a deep breath; she was mesmorized by shiny emerald orbs, "absolute-"

"Here Lauren." Lexie said venomously as she tossed her the water bottle, breaking THEIR moment and causing Lauren to break contact as she caught the bottle.

"Thanks." Lexie took a seat next to her.

"I could REALLY go for s'more right about now." Camila beamed towards Normani.

"We have s'more stuff," green eyes quickly turned their attention back to the brunette as she smiled, then back to Lexie, "you mind grabbing them?" her tone flat.

"Are you serious?" Lexie gave her a look then turned her glare to Camila.

"Does it look like I'm joking?" they were in a stare off, "fine, don't get 'em. That's fine."

"Ugh!" Lexie stood up and made her way back to the car.

Normani's eyes followed the frustrated girl as she made her way down the path, "WRAPPED. AROUND. YOUR. FINGER." She shook her head.

"Girls…you tell them NOT to do something, then they do it, what's with that?" the girl in the beanie chuckled, "Camila wanted a s'more, can't disappoint." She turned to face the brunette next to her, flashing an adorable smile.

"They're confusing aren't they?" Cole chimed in with a laugh before kissing Normani on the cheek.

"We're gonna take a walk too." She said grabbing Cole's hand as they made their way into the woods.

Camila's gave her a toothless smile. She's too charming for her own good.

Lexie sat back down, s'more supply in hand as she dropped it in front of Lauren. "Happy?" she said in a harsh tone.

"VERY." The green-eyed girl simply replied.

"Lauren, I'm kind of cold." Lexie said as she perked an eyebrow.

"What do you want me to do about it?"

"Here." Camila stood up and took her coat off and unzipped her sweater that she wore underneath her coat. "I get cold pretty easily, so I came prepared." She handed the coat to Lexie as the ungrateful girl put it on.

No thank you? Okay then.

"Aren't you gonna thank her?" Lauren shot said frustrated at the girl.

"Thanks." She said not bothering to look at Camila.

~Come and take a walk on the wild side Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain You like your girls insane Choose your last words, This is the last time Cause you and I We were born to die We were born to die We were born to die~

~RING-RING-RING~

Lauren took her phone out of her jacket pocket, "Hey Mani what's up?"

Camila watched Lauren stand up and nod her head hearing a "Yeah, okay, I'll take Camila with me, don't worry."

"Lauren what's going on?" The brown-eyed girl asked in confusion.

"Cops." Lauren replied, "Let's get out of here." She said looking at both Lexie and Camila.

They were driving down the highway in Lauren's car. Camila was sitting in the passenger seat much to Lexie's displeasure.

"Did Mani and the rest get away in time?" Camila asked concerned.

"Yeah, they're all together. I'll call them in a bit to make sure okay?" She nodded in a comforting manner as she placed her hand on Camila's leg.

Lexie rolled her eyes at the scene in front of her, "so are we dropping off little miss sunshine here or what?" Her tone was sharp.

Lauren abruptly stepped on the brakes, causing all their seatbelts to lock, "You know what Lexie, Camila has been nothing but nice to you tonight, so why don't YOU get the fuck out of the car and walk the rest of the way." Lauren spat back as she leaned over her seat, staring at the girl, her patience completely gone.

Camila's heart began to race as she remained quiet, hands in her lap.

"Are you fucking serious?" Lexie yelled in her face.

"Does it look like I'm FUCKING joking? I can see your house from here, you'll be fine, now GET OUT."

Lexie got out of the car and slammed the door, "You know what Lauren, don't fucking come calling me later when that bitch doesn't put out!" She walked off.

Lauren's angry eyes watched the pissed off girl walk off for a few steps before turning their attention back to the brunette next to her, her green eyes quickly softening at her sight. "I'm sorry about that," She gave her a half smile.

"It's not your fault and thank you, for defending me, you didn't have too." Lauren gently grabbed Camila's chin, showing her affection instead of responding with words.

"So, what happens now?" Camila bit her lip as she looked into Lauren's eyes.

"Well, I can either take you home…" her green eyes dipped a little, looking into brown ones a little more intensely.

"ORRRR…" the brown-eyed girl breathe out.

~Come and take a walk on the wild side Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain You like your girls insane~

"ORRR…we keep driving, no plans, no expectations, we just go."

Camila's breathing picked up, her heart filled with exhilaration.

What IS IT about this girl, she's forward, blunt and so charismatic.

"So, what's it gonna be CAMZ? I can take you home, or you can come with me." Lauren took Camila's hand, lacing their fingers, "come and take a walk on the wild side…"

The alluring girl in front of her hypnotized Camila, her green eyes penetrating through her entire body. Everything about her excited the younger brunette. Camila unbuckled her seatbelt; she lifted herself from her seat, cupping Lauren's face as she bent down to place her warm, soft, plump lips on the green-eyed beauty's enticing ones.

Their lips danced back and forth together for a few seconds, parting gently as brown glimmering orbs opened to surprised green ones. "What do you think?" Camila asked rhetorically.

With that Lauren put the car in drive.

~Don't make me sad, don't make me cry Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough I don't know why Keep making me laugh, Let's go get high The road is long, we carry on Try to have fun in the meantime Come and take a walk on the wild side Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain You like your girls insane Choose your last words This is the last time Cause You and I We were born to die We were born to die~
