Y/N walked down the hallway with Lauren Jauregi. I'd kill to be Lauren. To know, for a split second, I'm Y/N's girlfriend would be a dream come true.

Y/N was waiting with Lauren at her locker and she waved at me. I waved back.

Lauren looked at me and walked over.

"Hello short stack. You know if you wear platforms you'll be a normal hight."

"Laur cut it out, She's fine the way she is." She smiled at me and pulled Lauren away.

I walked to my science class and sat at my table, alone as always.

"Ok class, Partner up for the next experiment." Lauren had grabbed Y/N's hand.

I was gonna work alone before Y/N came over.

"Hi Ariana. I'll work with you. No one else has the decency to work with you. Lauren would just copy me anyway." We laugh quietly.

We finished a little earlier than everyone else.

"How long have you and Lauren been  together?" I ask.

"About 8 months. It's been something, I like Lauren. I just don't know if I should stay with her."

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"I'm in the process of trying to explore new people but I know Lauren loves me. I'm not really feeling it. I feel like a shadow to her. I just follow her around and do what she wants."

"Be yourself. Follow your own instincts. Don't be Lauren's shadow, Be Y/N."

"Good point. I think I'm gonna chill with you at lunch. Lauren doesn't talk to me that much there anyways. She talks to her teammates. Your really cool to talk to." The bell rung and we walked to our school's cafeteria.

"What's your deal Ari?" Y/N asked.

"Huh?"

"Why do you let everyone push you around, Especially Lauren? You deserve way better than Lauren to be bullying you." She continued.

"Why stress myself out over all this. I'm chilling. No point in being mad over my crushes girl...friend." I noticed what I said and stopped walking.

"So You do have a crush on me?" She  asked. I stood there with wide eyes. "Ariana answer me. Please." She pleaded.

"I think so. It may just be infatuation I don't really know. You're really pretty but, you have a girlfriend so I-"

"It's ok. If I wasn't with Lauren I'd totally date you. You're amazing and beautiful." She sat at a lunch table. "Sit with me. Lauren's not gonna be here. She has other friends and girls to impress."

"That's totally not cool. I would never do that."

We both sat at our table sharing my lunch. Lauren walked in.

"Short Stack! Thanks for taking care of my girlfriend. We're gonna go. Come on babe." She started walking away. Y/N sat still. "Y/N come on. The game is in an hour."

"You talk to everyone but me. Why? Give me one good reason I should go and leave Ari here? What's with that too? You bully her and belittle her to feel superior? So actually don't explain, I'm not going. We're done by the way."

Lauren walked away pissed. I laughed and she turned around.

"What are you laughing at Grande?" Y/N almost stood up. "I got it. What's funny is that you let this beautiful girl walk away without a fight. You didn't love her in the first place. You treated her badly." Everyone was watching.

"I-"

"I would say Y/N is the hottest in school. And you would talk to other girls, in her face, without apologizing. I'd call that a bitch move. So yeah, Walk away. You're loss is my gain." Y/N grabbed my arm.

"You didn't have to do that. Lauren is definitely going after you. Especially after this." She kissed me softly.

"Wow that was way better than I imagined." She giggles.

"Glad I could make someone happy today."

I walked her to her next class. We parted and she hugged me.

I woke up the next morning for breakfast and my brother decided to expose me.

"Mom, Ariana has a girlfriend." I threw my napkin at him.

"She's not my girlfriend. She my friend and she kissed me." I explained.

"Sounds like a girlfriend to me." My mom said. "Your father will be here for dinner tonight. Invite your girlfriend. It'll be cute."

I get my backpack and get into my car.

"Come on Frankie!"

As we get to school, I see Y/N talking to a group. I come behind her and hug her.

"Hey. I missed you." Her friends ooh'd.

"Guys stop. We're just friends."

"For now. I have to ask you a question. Would you be able to come to a dinner at my place tonight. My dad will be there. It's ok if you cant."

"I'd love too. Pick me up?"

"At seven. See you in class."

I left her before I heard footsteps behind me.

"Wait!" Y/N followed me and held my hand.

"To what do I owe the pleasure Mrs. L/N?" I joked. Y/N was a bit shorter than me.

"Ari, I just wanted a hug." She hugged me and I kissed her head.

"You ok? You seem tense."

"I'm worried about you, us even. Lauren might kill you. I'm gone and quite frankly, It's your charm. She's not gonna like that. I don't want her ruining that great face of yours."

"It's my charm huh? At least you're mine." I chuckled pulling her closer. Her friends giggled and we shared a quick kiss. "Be my girlfriend?"

She nodded happily. We shared another kiss.

We spent school sharing looks from across the room. When we got to chem, I hated it. Lauren was there and she had to sit by her.

She was trying to talk to Y/N but she didn't care.

Please come hug me...i'm annoyed

I got up and grabbed her waist.

"You need Grande to help you? You're so lame Y/N."

"Lame is you talking to other girls when you have a whole girlfriend waiting. Lame is you putting practice over a date with me. Lame is the skills you have in bed. I'm not lame."  I rubbed Y/N's back and lightly choked her. Juaregi was already mad.
