Mrs Cruz BOOK 2

Camilla Cortes' Point of View:

"Baby I'm preying on you tonight, hunt you down, eat you alive, just like animals, animals, animals...."

I jumped out of bed to the off key singing of my best friend Alex. I got up rubbing my eyes in an attempt to rid them of the blurriness from being awoken too early. I walked down the stairs of our three bedroom apartment to find Alex singing her heart out while making pancakes. Normally I would start laughing my ass off at her for trying to sing but this I felt needed special attention.

I quietly sneaked back to my room and grabbed my phone. Coming back down the stairs I his partially behind the wall putting my phone on video recorder. I began to record her all the while trying not to laugh my ass off.

Alex was a blonde haired beauty with blue eyes and pink lips. She was around 5 foot 7 inches, a whole inch taller than me. Most people thought blondes were dumb airheads who had not one idea about what was happening around them but Alex wasn't like that. If anything she was one of the most hardworking people that I've ever met.

She always puts others before herself and was really funny when she wanted to be of course. I watched her as she jumped around to the bass of Nicki Minaj's hit "Only". Did I forget to mention that she loves to rap. She knows all of the latest rap hits as if it was her symphony.

I couldn't help it this time so I did the unthinkable. I laughed. I laughed so loud that she jumped and turned around surprised to find me standing there. I quickly hid my phone and shuffled my feet nervously.

"Morning," I mumbled to her shifting from side to side.

"Hey," she smiled brightly at me, a little too brightly for me.

"Did I wake you ?," asked piling pancakes on a plate before handing it to me.

"No, I woke up all by myself," I said annoyed.

"We humans tend to do that," she smiled the sarcasm not lost on me.

We stared at each other a good few seconds before we both burst out laughing.

"What's the plan for today ?," she asked me while sipping a cup of coffee.

"I don't know what'd you have in mind ?"

"I'm not sure.... It's 7 now so you tell me"

"What ??!!," I gasped grabbing my phone to check the time and just like Alex said it was seven o'clock.

"Oh crap !!," I groaned stuffing a pancake in my mouth before running up the stairs and straight to my room.

I headed straight for my closet and started to go through all the clothes I had. I just threw them on the bed one after the other. I didn't even notice when Alex came into the room.

"Hey are you....," I cut her off when I accidentally threw a black jacket in her face.

"Well," she said as she took the jacket from her face "that answers that question"

"Lo siento mucho pero..."

"Woah hold up," she said her hands in the air as if to stop my words.
