Algebra Blessings

The next day at school, Lauren was going to have a totally new schedule. After her parents talked with the school and got them to change it so she wasn't with their awful boy in any class whatsoever, she felt a lot more at ease. Sadly, he wouldn't be getting suspended like she wanted. Their school had a no tolerance for bullying policy, but it seemed like they completely disregarded Lauren's situation when it was brought to their attention.

Maybe Evan had family that worked at the school or something. He was able to get away with acting off in class by the teacher, and now the principal. Lauren's parent's asked Lauren if she wanted them to go all the way up to the district office and complain there, but she said it was okay. At least they didn't have any classed together anymore.

Lauren was glad they were almost finished with high school. She didn't think she could last much longer. At least her girlfriend was there to help. Camila, who was walking beside her, brought Lauren's hand up to her lips. "What class do you have now?" She asked, forgetting what the older girl told her earlier.

"Culinary Arts." Lauren smiled after reminding her.

"You're already a master chef, babe. Why do you need to take culinary?" Camila questioned.

Lauren giggled. "It'll be an easy A." She admitted. Camila gasped at her sneaky girlfriend. "Is that wild of me?" She asked.

"The wildest." Camila grinned. Lauren still thought Camila wanted her to be wild so she had been trying to do more things to appear more wild to the younger girl. Camila told her time and time again that she didn't really want Lauren to be wild; she was just trying to make her makeup wild. After a while, Camila stopped telling her and just let her think she was wild for whatever she was doing. It was really cute, after all.

"I knew it." Lauren said to herself. Camila just chuckled and turned around to kiss her. "What?" Lauren questioned.

"Nothing, baby." Camila smiled, kissing her longer.

Just then, a group of guys walked out of a classroom and up to them. "Oh look, lesbian lovers." One says. Lauren pulls away from her girlfriend to see the commotion. "Are you two going to be spending Valentine's Day together, hmm?"

"Uh... yeah?" Camila answered, unamused. Lauren furrows her eyebrows at the guys' words. Why wouldn't she be spending Valentine's Day with her girlfriend? She didn't understand why they were asking. Camila knew he was trying to make fun of them, though.

"Dude no teasing." One guy nudged the one who asked. "Those are Dinah's friends and I don't want to get in trouble with her because of your fuck up." He said. "And love is love anyway. You have a crush on my sister but she's gay, you know. She's getting more girls than you, too." He added.

"Oh shit." The first boy finally realized it was Dinah's friends. "Sorry." He told the couple before running off with his buddies. "You didn't tell me your sister was a lesbian." He smacked the guy on the arm.

Lauren turned back to her girlfriend. "Is Dinah superior over the guys at this school?" She questions. "Why did he stop teasing us once he knew we were her friends?"

"Her beat downs, babe." Camila explains. "She's very protective of her friends. She had a football player smack Evan, did you hear about that?" She asks. Lauren shakes her head. "It wasn't anything much. Just a slap in the face. The football player was pretty calm when he did it. He reprimanded him more than anything. Evan just ran off because he was so embarrassed. He probably won't bug you anymore." Camila told her.

"Wow." Lauren said. "Dinah did that for me?"

Camila hummed. "When you're friends with Dinah, you're really loved. She's sweet like that." She smiled.
