Tell me what's better than writing this story at 5 in the morning.  When listening to Lauren Jauregui - Don't wanna say❤️❤️🙏 I wanted to connect Lauren and Austin because they were against each other in almost every book 🥰

Lauren

"The day starts really nice first I was late for school as usual and I ended up wearing my shirt inside out. Luckily when I got to school I changed in the girls' bathroom. There I overheard some freshmen talking about a new student. Here to keep something secret, one big gossip mill. I missed my first class with Mr. Fitz, but I'm doing great in my second class. Not that it's unusual for me to be late, I just hate Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays are ok, Thursdays, yay Friday, yay weekend.

" Here's our Rosebud, how did you sleep, ma'am?" said my best friend Shawn.

"It went well, but I would have gone longer, but Grace kicked me out of bed, what did I miss otherwise Shawn?

"We have a new student here, of course the girls are all over him, poor kid, your sister's already met him.

" Michelle? Why am I not surprised, she's barely single and already looking for new prey to soothe her blood." Don't get me wrong, my sister and I love each other and we're like BFFs, I just don't think it's wise to jump into a new relationship right after a breakup. I know my sister better than anyone. I know she'd be able to go into a new relationship just so she could forget about Zayn Malik. And that's the difference between us. I've been single for two years after my former relationship with Brad Simpson. And I know my feelings haven't gone away so if I went into a relationship with someone I would feel bad, I would feel like I was cheating on my partner.

"Hello class, we'd like to welcome a new student to our school, Austin? Would you like to quickly tell us a little bit about yourself?"

Is that the new guy? I asked Shawn, he just nodded and winked at me. I just rolled my eyes. I have to admit he's really cute he has a nice smile and beautiful eyes. He seems nervous about having to talk in front of the class, I hate that too.

" Hi my name is Austin and I'm from Palm Coast, but you already know that I noticed you are well informed ahead of time" we laughed the whole class.

"Okay sit here next to Michelle please.

I'm tired of all the teachers mistaking me for my twin brother. I'm Lauren, Michelle doesn't even come to this class! I said in my head.

Hey, I feel bad, but do you have a pen? Austin asked.

"Yeah, I do, take this one, I don't want it back, I have plenty of them," I replied.

This is so boring I can't wait for snack time, when I left the house I didn't even eat because I had to get to school fast. I hate it when I feel someone staring at me and thinking I can't see it. I bet it's the new guy. Luckily, class is over and I'm finally going to eat. Almost the whole school eats in the cafeteria but we go out on the ramps by the school and when I say we I mean Shawn I mean DJ and Mani. I'm into music and singing I compose my own songs, Shawn has the same as me plus he skateboards. Normani aka Mani wants to be a dancer and our Dinah aka DJ wants to be a fashion designer. Together we make an interesting crew.

Me and Shawn are single but Mani and DJ have a boyfriend. You know what's funny? Pretty much the whole school thinks me and Shawn are together because we're together nonstop and we also make fun of each other all the time. It would practically be incest to think of Shawn as a friend or a brother. Like a girl and a guy can't just be friends. Plus Shawn has had a crush on camille for a while now, of course he denies it but he's my best friend don't fool me. Camila has a crush on Shawn too but they are both too scared to express their feelings for each other, if they weren't such sissies they would have been together since 8th grade.

"Hey Lauren, well the bell is ringing for next class, hurry up or we'll be late and I don't want to be told Dinah after school again".

"When will this nightmare called school end?"

Austin

The school wasn't as horrible as I thought, on the contrary, the people here are really nice and the girls here are beautiful, but honestly I was only attracted to one girl. Her name is Michelle I only had two classes with her today but I still didn't understand how she could change so quickly. I guess she knew I was watching her because she started getting nervous next to me. After school, I went to the auto repair shop and started my first day on the job. I've been interested in cars since I was a kid. My grandfather was a mechanic, so he taught me how to fix cars. He died 3 years ago leaving me his 1970 Chrysler 300 but it stayed with my dad when we ran away from him. I'd be happy to have it with me it's the only thing I have left of his.

"Excuse me-can you please help me?" I got a flat tire.

That voice is familiar, isn't that Michelle? Yes, it's Michelle.

" Hey, we're meeting again, is that a coincidence? Or are you a stalker? I asked.

"What? No, I didn't even know you worked here, I just had an accident and I just wanted to-"

" I know I'm just kidding, haha I'll look at it and change it quickly. I wonder how that girl can change so fast. She reminds me of Superman, maybe she's got other stuff underneath that stuff."
I changed Michelle's tire and as a thank you she invited me to a party she was having at a place Lucy didn't really want to go to, but I couldn't refuse the dog look she gave me. She gave me her phone number with the time and place of the party. Not that I was at the party but I really like Michelle, I just hope she feels the same way.
