Lauren Chapter 15 unedited

It was Wednesday morning and it was a rainy day. It was supposed to rain until Sunday morning. That meant this weekend was going to be a lazy in the house watching Netflix (most likely with Katie) and staying in my pajamas all day. But honestly that was okay with me because these past few weeks have been very eventful and I could use the chill weekend.

Dingg, dinggg.

That was the lunch bell finally. I had rushed out of 4th period and went straight to my locker to get my lunch. I waltzed in the lunchroom and walked over to my group of friends. Compared to the first day; our lunch table has gotten pretty full. It's Me, Katie, Heather, Carly, Chelsea, Megan, Britt, Josh, John, Eric, Sam, and Cory. That was it. That was our little group. We hung out all the time and we were always texting each other in our little group message. Each class I had at least one of them were in it and we all had gym together so that was a plus. On Fridays we had free time In gym and we didn't really do much we just hung around and maybe we threw around the volleyball, but other than that we just talked.

"Can we talk?" Josh interrupted my thoughts.

I had just noticed that he sat next to me. These past few days he hasn't sat next to me, he made sure to sit on the opposite side of the table so he could avoid conversation with me I guess.

"Um sure."

"I'll go along with what you asked me," he whispered while looking at me "but only under one condition."

"Shoot."

"No sex with either of us until you make your decision."

What the hell? Did I look like I was gonna have sex with one of these guys so fast? No! The fact that he even had to say that is mind blowing because why would he think I would do that?

"Are you kidding me? I wasn't even planning on doing that." I said moving away from him and crossing my arms.

"Don't take it the wrong way, I just wanted it to be clear." He said looking apologetic.

"Ok."

"How long is this gonna go on for?"

"I'll make my decision by Christmas."

"Well then, that seems like enough time to show you why you wanted to be with me in the first place."

I smile crept on my lips. That was cute and so was he. I was hoping he put up a fight for me and it seems as though he is and that's great! I really do like Josh, but I just like Trevor too.

"Oh my gosh!" Carly exclaimed.

"What, what's wrong?" I asked frantic.

"Conor bought me a diamond bracelet!" She said pulling the Tiffany box out her locker. It was the end of the day and we were leaving to go home, but we stopped at our lockers first of course.

"That's so cute!"

It was really cute. But I honestly think that she needs to be careful because it's only been like 2 weeks since they've started liking each other and I don't know what kind of guy is going to buy a girl that's not even his girlfriend diamonds.

"Hey cutie, like your gift?" Conor appeared from behind her and pulled her into a hug.

"Yes! It's so pretty!" She said giving him a kiss.

"Glad you liked it." He said smiling and kissing her back. "I have to ask you something actually."

"What is it?" She said looking worried.

"Oh nothing, I just wanted to know if you'd be my official girlfriend." He said smiling.

"Omg, yes Conor I will!" She said practically jumping on him and giving him like 100 kisses.

"Aw you guys are cute, I'm so jelly." I said really just trying to remind them that I was here.

"No need to be jealous, your guy got you something as well." Conor said going into his bookbag. He pulled out a black bag with white writing on it. It was Chanel and I literally screamed.

"Gimme, let me see what's in it!" I tried snatching the bag from him but he pulled it away.

"I have to read this letter you you first."

"I have eyes I can read now give me the bag." I whined.

"To my sweetest Lauren," he ignored me and started reading anyway "I'm sorry I couldn't give this to you in person but you know basketball keeps me busy. I hope that you like it and that everything inside it makes you feel all bubbly. Maybe we can put it to use at dinner tomorrow night?" Then he handed me the bag.

It was a black Chanel satchel type bag with triangles on the front and a gold chain as the handles. It was hella pretty and I know it was hella expensive too because he left the receipt in the bag. $4,300! This boy must really like me. I couldn't help but notice that the bag felt kind of heavy so I opened it and to my surprise there were more gifts. There was a bath and body works set along with 5 mini hand sanitizer sand 5 holders for them. There was also a pandora bracelet with 10 charms on it already. I also saw there was a Mac bag inside of it with 4 lip sticks, 2 mascaras, 2 nail polishes and an eyeliner. Lastly there was my favorite types of candy in it; snickers, Reese cups, twix, twizzlers, sour patch watermelons, and strawberry fruit snacks. This was all too much! He had to spend like $6,000 on all this stuff and yeah we were rich, but that just seems like a whole bunch of money to be spending on me and I'm not even his girlfriend.

"I hate you!! Look at all this stuff!" Carly said gushing over the presents Trevor sent me.

"It's nice isn't it." I said still looking at it myself.

I wanted to accept these things cause they were so nice, but they were super expensive and I just don't think I would feel right taking all this stuff from him. At least he had the receipt so he could return all this stuff? Well maybe not the candy, I'll take that but Mac cosmetics are not cheap and neither are pandora bracelets! And Chanel bags are definitely not cheap at all. I don't know if I'll give them back or not, but right now I just wanna go home.
