From Hatred to Love

Lauren's POV

"And what's your name?" Simon asked me. "Lauren." I smiled. "Lauren..." "Jauregui." "Okay, Lauren. What song will you be singing?" "I'll be singing If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys."

"Alright."

-

I walked off the stage with a huge smile on my face. FOUR YESES!!! I walked pass four other girls. One I hated... And the others I had no clue who they were because they decided they didn't want to mess with me backstage.

"Hi, I'm Normani." A girl walked up to me. "Hi, I'm Lauren." I said. "You were really good. I hope I do as good as you." She gave me a small smile.

"Thanks. And trust me, I'm sure you'll do better." I said to her. "I don't think anyone can do better than that." Normani said.

I smiled at her. We kept talking and we became really good friends.

-

"Normani Kordei." Someone called her name and she waved me a goodbye.

Then, little miss popular came up to me. "Hey, Lauren." She said to me with a smirk. "What Camila." I snapped as I whipped my head around.

"I just wanted to say you did a good job. But, you're lucky..." She said to me. "Why?" I asked. "Because. You actually got to audition. While I don't get to." She averted her eyes from me to the floor.

"Huh?" I said, clearly confused as to what was going on. "I mean, I don't gt to audition, cause there isn't enough time." She looked back up to me her eyes clouded with tears. "Well can't you ask them if you can audition after?" I said in a 'duh' tone.

"But that means it won't be aired on TV-" "Who cares? At least you still get to audition!" I said then walked away.

-

"Bye, Mani!" I gave the girl a hugged then walked with my parents. "Camila Cabello." I froze then spun around.

Camila walked onto the stage. "I would love to say something interesting, but all I do is sing karaoke and watch, like, One Direction videos." She said with a giggle.

And then with a few more questions she started singing. "R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me!" She sings pretty well. "Lauren, let's go." Taylor tugged on my arm.

I shook it off and walked with my family.

-A FEW DAYS LATER-

I got kicked off. It was really fun. (Note the sarcasm) I literally cried so hard.

"I would like to call the following back to the stage. Dinah-Jane Hansen. Normani Kordei. Lauren Jauregui. And Camila Cabello." Haha, Cabello. She said Cabello. Not CABEYO. I'm laughing inside my head.

All five of us looked surprised but follow the woman back to the stage.

-

I'm being put in a group with Normani Kordei Hamilton, Dinah-Jane Hansen, Ally Brooke Hernandez, and Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao.

This is going to be hard. By hard, I mean it's going to be hard to try and get along with Camila...

"Laur!" I turned around to see Normani. "Hey, Mani!" I ran towards her. She pulled me into a hug. "I can't believer we got put in a group together!" She squealed after we let go.

"I know right! It's gonna be-" I got interrupted by three girls walking up. "Hi." The short one said. "Hi. You're Ally right?" Normani asked.

"Yep! And that's Dinah, and Camila." I looked at the other two. "Nice to meet you, Dinah and Ally." I gave them both a hug. "Hey, Camila." I gave her a simple wave.

Ally frowned. "What's up?" She asked worriedly. "She isn't that fond of me." Camila said.

"Have you two met?" She asked. "Mhm. We both live in Miami and we go to the same school so... A few things happened but that's it." Camila said.

Ally nodded.

"Well, I'll see you guys tomorrow at the judges house." I waved a goodbye to them. And we went our separate ways.

A/N: HALLO!!! VERY FIRST FIC! WOOHOO! That's all I have to say. Love ya!
