Michael's Pov

A week later my sisters husband finally caught his flight back to New York which meant I got my apartment back. Lauren has been staying with me since that snake Kandy was still living at Laurens house.

When Lauren went back to get more clothes she took her Tesla with her. She needed her car. She hated getting up at 5 am with me to catch a ride to school.

Besides the tension between Lauren and Kandy everything went pretty smooth...but today I had my doubts. Lauren and Kandy wasn't in my class and I knew they were both here. On my free period I went to the gym to see if Lauren was at cheerleading practice. I had gotten my hopes up when I saw the cheerleaders in there but when I looked for Lauren I couldn't find her.

I walked over to the coach and asked her if she had seen Lauren or if she came to practice.

"As a matter of fact she did come by. She came to tell me that she was dropping out of cheer and returned her uniform. She decided to quit after Kandy kept dropping her when she had to fly (get thrown in the air)".

I rolled my eyes at Kandy's pettiness. I thanked the coach and decided to leave before she talked my ear off. Their was only one other place where I thought she would be and that was the auditorium. I remember her talking about the drama class and decided to go look for her there.

I peeked through the doors and saw her standing there with Hal the drama teacher. He was a tall long haired man with a personality that was very dramatic and over hyper.

I could tell it was a little overwhelming for Lauren by the way she stood there slightly leaning back as his loud voice projected onto her. Lauren wasn't dressed like her usual self.

Her old mini skirt and crop top look had completely vanished when she stopped hanging out with Kandy. She now wore sweat clothes with her hair tied into a ponytail. I walked into the auditorium and down the isle and she noticed me right away when she heard the metal doors open.

"Mister Jackson! Coming to try out for the play?" Hal said as he turned to me and jumped.

"No I don't act, I was just coming to ask why this young lady wasn't in my class last period" I said looking at her with a smile.

"I spoke to Ms.Cane about spending the entire day with Mister Hal to go over the script" she said excitedly while hugging the script tight against her chest.

Her smile made my stomach flutter. It truly made me happy that she was starting to become happy and find herself. She held a lot of her true self back because she wanted to so badly fit in and be loved by everyone.

After dumping Kandy I think she finally realized that's not what she wanted. She didn't need to be loved by many. She just needed to be loved by one person. With that thought in my head I decided to dismiss myself from her presence.

"I'll see you later Lauren, I have something to plan" I said while walking away leaving her confused.
