"OH MY GOD THEY WANT YOU TO KISS!" Dinah shouts excitedly, crawling off the bed and jumping up and down for everyone to see the excitement radiating off of her.

"KISS! KISS! KISS!" Ally, Dinah and Normani all begin chanting, making my stomach go absolutely crazy.

I turn my head so I'm looking up at Lauren. She doesn't say anything, only looks back at me. I can see the fear in her eyes and there's no doubt that there's fear in mine too.

The girls chanting only gets louder and I kink an eyebrow, silently asking what the hell are we going to do?

A smile appears on Lauren's face, making my stomach flutter. I feel a little more relaxed knowing that she just got an idea.

She doesn't say anything, but she takes her arms away from my waist and lifts her head up, away from my shoulder where it was resting comfortably. I feel a frown cross my face due to the lack of contact. She pushes me away from her lightly and I feel my heart drop. Is she going to run away?

I watch as she crawls away from me and across the bed, moving the laptop so it's just us on the screen. My heart lifts back up, realizing that she's not going to bail.

She crawls back over to me and my brain begins to go into overthinking mode. My stomach twists at the thought of her not falling for me, not to mention the remembrance of this whole thing being fake.

I'm pulled back into reality as Lauren straddles my lap, earning more hooting and cheering from our crowd of three. My eyes widen slightly at the sudden feeling of the beautiful girl pressed up against my hips. I force a small smile on my face even though I'm freaking out on the inside and I'm well aware that the fear in my eyes has only become more noticeable.

"Ready?" She whispers and I notice how nervous she is as her hand makes its way to my cheek, caressing it lightly.

After I nod my head in conformation, Lauren slowly leans in without another word. I close my eyes as my brain goes into overdrive.

The thoughts of me completely falling in love from one simple kiss. The thought of her hating the kiss and not liking me even the slightest bit. The thought of this whole thing ruining our friendship.

Rejection, vulnerability, fear - it all continues to build up more and more until I feel her soft lips on mine.

Every terrible feeling is replaced with pure joy the second I feel her perfect lips meet mine for the first time.

Immediately, my lips reciprocate the kiss as a happiness I've never felt before takes over my body. I feel as if I've just found a new drug, a new addiction. My heart is racing and my adrenaline is pumping. It feels like my first kiss even though it's not but hell I wish it was.

My brain keeps trying to think of the negatives but I push them away, enjoying this moment.

Sadly, it doesn't last long. Lauren pulls away and when she looks at me, her facial expression is unreadable. I'm usually able to read her like a book, but not this time. She crawls off my lap and all my senses come back, the girls still hooting and cheering.

"CAMREN! CAMREN! CAMREN!" The three voices chant as Lauren adjusts the camera back so everyone is visible.

"THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!" Dinah exclaims, wiping away a fake tear.

"Well now that you guys know," Lauren begins, ignoring Dinah's comment. "We're going to go celebrate our coming out with pizza! We love you guys! Bye!" Lauren says quickly before turning the camera off without letting the four of us say anything else.
