Chapter 18-Shocked back into reality!

I never really had true friends growing up; they’d befriend me to get close to Jas. But now I’ve met the boys, it’s changed; people want to know me…for me. I still don’t have many girl friends but at this moment in time; I don’t care.

Walking through the halls, I couldn’t care less what people thought, a year ago I would of, but I don’t now. Isn’t it weird how some people can change one person?

I was shocked back into reality by Brittany staring at me from my locker. I got closer, forcing a smile to my face; what did she want?

“Brittany, was pleasure do I have?” I continued to smile sweetly.

“Stay away from Ashley, you may think your special, but believe me you won’t even last a week” Brittany snarled, what had Ashley seen in her in the first place?

“Listen-” As usual, I was interrupted.

“No, you listen! Ashley thinks he likes you now but within a month, he’ll come crawling back to me. He always does. You can’t change him, just go back to being your usual dorky-self and leave Ashley to me” By this point Brittany was up in my face, a smirk spread across her face.

“Ashley can do what he wants and he obviously doesn’t want you” I replied bluntly, turning around but Brittany latched onto my arm.

“This is me asking you nicely Lauren, next time I won’t be as nice” With that she strutted away.  If she thought threatening me would do anything, she was wrong. I wasn’t scared of her.

As I walked into class, I saw Steven sitting in his usual seat, grinning like a prize idiot. At least someone was in a good mood.

“I hate your sister” I laughed, sitting down, watching his expression turn to shock then confusion.

“As normal that conversation starter is, may I ask why?” Steven looked so baffled, it was cute.

“I’ve been warned off Ashley” I chuckled, even Steven managed a laugh.

“You’ve been warned! Will you stick to your warning?” Steven said in a detective tone.

“Depends how rebellious I’m feeling” I winked, encouraging Steven to smile.

“Ignore her! Brittany has had a crush on Ashley for years and when he showed her attention, it changed her! She began to despise all that became close to him- especially girls. She isn’t as bad as you think, she’s just uh- misunderstood” Steven explained, it made sense, Ashley led her on, she fell for him, it isn’t that hard to believe.

“I didn’t take it to heart, don’t worry!” I punched his arm lightly.

“So I heard your date was different?” Steven asked. How did everyone know about my date?

“We went to a fight club” I said bluntly.

“So Ashley was testing you?” Steven laughed.

“Is it something all boys do?” I asked, how did Steven know he would test me?

“If Ashley really likes the girl; he tests her to make sure she’s genuine” Steven shrugged as if it was obvious, thinking about it, it was quite adorable.

“Oh right!” I pretended that I knew it all along; play it cool.

“So… Brad and Jas eh?” Steven raised his eyebrow. Wait, I hadn’t told Steven about Brad and Jas?
