Lauren's POV

"Heyyyy peoples what's poppin" I said sitting down in the table.

"Hey" Everyone said lifeless.

"What the hell is up with ya?" I asked.

Miranda sighed "We have a test today"

"All of ya?" I asked.

"All of us" Veronica said.

"What?! That teacher must hate us" I said.

"Yup" Kevin said.

"What subject?" I asked.

"History" Eliana said gagging after taking a bite of her sandwich "This shit is nasty"

"Fuck I suck at history" I cussed.

"Don't worry you'll do great, I'm sure of it" Matthew said to me.

I blushed while he looked down probably blushing too.

Penelope's POV

I saw the connection between Matthew and Lauren and I knew it was trouble for our plan.

"Hey, Matthew can we have a word?" I asked him.

"Sure" He said standing up and walking out the cafeteria with me.

"What do you think you're doing?" I asked him.

"What do you mean?" He replied confused.

"I mean you've been flirting with that girl" I said.

"Lauren" He said correcting me.

I rolled my eyes "Whatever"

"What's with your attitude?" He asked.

I chuckled "What... What's with my attitude? You're the one going after the rich princess Matthew this is not part of the plan"

"No you know what's the problem here don't come blaming this on me. Lauren thinks you hate her because you're too fucking rude" He said.

"And so does Eliana!" I exclaimed.

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Look were just going to have to switch, you take Eliana and I take Lauren, we hang out, be nice and they'll like us and then we can keep going" I explained.

"Yeah but can we start tomorrow I have plans with Lauren afterschool" Matthew said.

I rolled my eyes "Whatever, let's go back before they start suspecting"

Matthew's POV

"So what do we do now?" Lauren asked as she licked her ice cream.

"Well we could talk" I suggested.

"Sure about what?" She asked.

"I need advice" I said.

"About...?" She asked.

"There's this girl I like and I'm not sure she likes me back" I said uneasy.

"How could someone not like you? I mean look at you" She said.

I smiled at her "Thanks"

"Okay no problem, what is she like?" She asked.

I sighed "Umm she likes sports, she likes wearing a lot of black and grey but sometimes some colors but mostly dark colors, she doesn't like wearing heels only if it's boots or it's an occasion, and she hates school"

She chuckled and we sat down.

"Sounds a lot like me" She said.

I looked down blushing, she has no idea.

"But I would just recommend talking to her about how you feel, you know be honest and you'll see that she does like you" She said fake smiling.

"You're fake smiling, what's wrong?" I asked.

"This isn't a fake smile" She said.

I glared at her "C'mom Lauren I know you very well by now what's wrong?"

She sat down in the bench as I followed her.

"It's just I feel like no one will ever like me" She said sighing.

"What?! That's crazy, who wouldn't like you?" I asked.

"You" She said looking at me tearing up.

My eyes widen. She likes me?!

"You like me?!" I asked shocked.

"Yeah yeah I know you think I'm a freak now" She said looking down.

"I-I don't think you're a freak, I think you're awesome" I said.

She kept looking down not saying anything.

I sighed "Lauren I-I like you.. A lot, you're the girl I was talking about"

She looked up "Really?!"

I smiled and nodded.

She blushes while I leaned in and kissed her. She kissed back as I grabbed her face and she also grabbed my face but gently.

5 minutes passed and we just stared into eachothers eyes.

Oh god this plan is going to be harder than I thought!
