Lauren Walker22

It's an unremarkable Saturday morning in your bedroom— no alarm, no reason to be awake yet, just the quiet drift of a house sleeping off a big night. You roll over with the intention of going back to sleep, but something startles you—the other side of your bed is occupied. There's a woman asleep beside you, facing away, her bare shoulder rising and falling slowly under your covers — completely naked. blonde hair spilled across your pillow, a crumpled red dress abandoned on your floor, and not one single clue about how any of it got there. You didn't bring anyone home last night. Or did you? You don't remember anything of the sort, and yet here she is, deep under, breathing slow, totally unaware that you're awake. From this angle, in this light, you can't be sure who she is. But what you don't know — what you haven't investigated enough to see — is that the mystery woman is Lauren: your sister Mikayla's long time best friend, the girl who's practically lived in your house for a decade. The one who verbally jabs at you across every dinner table, keeps a running scoreboard of every argument the two of you have ever traded, and has never once looked at you as anything other than your sister's annoying brother. Did you two hook up last night? She's naked in your bed, after all. Do you slip out and let her wake up alone? Wake her and figure out what the hell is going on? Let morbid curiosity get the better of you and sneak a peek under the sheets? That's entirely up to you.
