On June 27, 1996 born Lauren Michelle Jauregui. Being the first born of the Jauregui clan is a blessing and a curse if you ask Lauren. The first time Clara and Michael - Mike - for short held their beautiful daughter, they know Lauren is special. When Lauren open her eyes for the first time, those emerald ocean eyes captivates whomever that look into that eyes. They swear even the coldest heart will melt if they see Lauren mesmerising orbs.
"Lauren, hurry up or you going to miss the bus!"Clara shout out to her oldest daughter. "Geez, mom no need to shout"Lauren bound down from the stairs and put on her shoes. The now 14 years old green eyes look her mom as her mom attend her brother who 3 years younger from her. "Hey, Chris"Greet Lauren as she pat Chris brown hair lovingly. "My hair"Whine the 11 years old boy.
Lauren cackle at her brother antics. The faint sound of horn sounded from outside her home. Lauren open her fridge and grab a bottle of orange juice. She grab an apple and bit it as she walk out from her house. "See you later, guys"Lauren said from the doorway when she open the door. "Have a good day, Mija"Clara sound back before the front door finally closing. Clara shake her head as she clean up after Chris done with his breakfast.
Lauren bound up the red school bus with the name of her school on each side of the bus. Summit Conservatory School written on each side of the bus with big black bold letter. Lauren walk down the aisle and sit almost at the back of the bus. She take out the book that she currently reading as the bus pull away from her curb. The bus after her home, have 4 other stop before she reach her school.
When the bus finally stop, Lauren packs her belonging. She get up slowly from her position as the order kids who boarded the bus get out. When Lauren turn she turn back and wave to the driver. "See you around, Mr.Eaton"Lauren smile up showing her pearly white teeth. "You too, young Jauregui. Have a nice day"Replied Mr.Eaton. When both of Lauren feet safely land on the pavement, the door of the school bus close and Mr.Eaton pull out from the school curb and park the school bus somewhere.
Lauren never tired looking up her school. The school have a classic european style to it. Lauren love the classic. Where other kids that enrolled in this school base on how much they can paid the tuition, Lauren enrolled in this school because she got Scholastic Scholarship based on her arts. Not because she average or anything, her family alone have some cooperation in and out of the states. Summit Conservatory School well know for their Arts and Sport department. Lauren adjust the strap of her backpack on her shoulder as she bound up to the front entrance.
The bustling and almost overcrowded hallway greet Lauren and she smile so big. Not only Lauren love Arts, she also love to study. Lauren walk to her assign locker and some of her friends and senior greets her. Lauren also one of the popular kid at her school. She popular because her arts and she played softball. Central Mid Fielder is her position. "Hey, Lo"One of her friends, Lucy Vives greet her.
Lucy slung her arm on Lauren shoulders after Lauren grab her book that she needed for the morning class and close her locker. "How's finally being a Freshman?"Ask the slightly older girl by months. "You also a freshman, dear Vives"Lauren retort playfully. "Eh, I like to pretend I'm one year older then you, Jauregui"Lucy grin and hip check her friend playfully. "Why?"Lauren inquire. "No reason"Lucy chuckle at her own answer. "You're so weird"Lauren shake her head and laugh along Lucy.
"Yeah, whatever. I see you at lunch?"Lucy question her friend. "You bet. I wouldn't miss it for the world"Said Lauren as she smile. "Dork"Lucy push Lauren and smile. Lauren shake her head as she enter her English classroom. Lauren sit in the middle of the class. Not too close, not too far. She has the perfect seat for the rest of her school year if the teacher not assigned the way she sit.
The first warning bell rang and all the student who still mingling around the hall, hurriedly walk to their respective class. Slowly her class filled with other student. 5 minutes later, a young teacher wearing mid length skirt and business shirt walk to her class. "Morning, class. My name is Demetria Lovato and as you can see I'm your English teacher"She smile warming as she sit on the table.
"You can call me Demi or Ms.Lovato but never Demetria"Ms.Lovato continue her introduction. "Why?"A voice from the back of the class piped up. "Just don't, okay? I don't have any other reason to be honest"Demi pipe up and the class chuckle. Lauren already can see she will like this class. "Now on the serious note, let's learn something"Demi clapped her hands. Half of the class groan out.
"I know, I know you all hate to learn but this place called school for a reason"Demi joke around. She look at the student one by one. Trying to remember their faces. "Can you help me out, please?"Demi point out to Lauren. "Who? Me?"Lauren timidly stand up and walk to the front of the class. When Lauren stand beside Demi, Demi place half of the stacks books on Lauren hands while she carried the other halves.
Lauren look down at the book that she will read for this semester. She grin so wide when she read the title. The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Lauren distribute the book to her classmate and leave one on her desk. After she done distribute the books, she return to her sit. "Now, who can tell me what this book is all about?"Demi walk around the class but no one raise their hands.
Lauren knows what the book is all about because this is one of her favourite book and she read it countless time. She want to raise her hand but she's afraid that her classmates called her known-it-all kind of person. Sure Lauren take pride of her intelligent but deep down she still the shy girl that occasionally has the tendencies become an awkward and anti social girl. "No one?"Demi voice broke Lauren from her musing.
"Well, this book is all about double personality. It's start with.."Demi give her class a brief summary of the book that they will read as she sat down again on her table. Demi explain to her class with so much passion that it never bore Lauren out. When the bell rang, the student rushed out to the door. "Don't forget to read chapter one until three for the next meeting"Demi half shout to her student.
Lauren take her time to collect her things. "How was I?"Demi ask Lauren. Lauren slightly jump from the sudden voice near her. "Good I think"Lauren smile as she pack up her belonging and put the book on top of everything. Being a Jauregui make her a neat and perfectionist person. All of her possession in neat order not a single thing out of line. "Lauren, right?"Demi ask her pupil.
"Yeah. I mean yes"Lauren corrected herself because in Jauregui household every question must be answered with the right statement. Demi tried to hide her grin when she see how tense Lauren is. "Hey, relax. You're not at your house"Demi breathe out. Lauren let out a breath that she hold and smile. "Thanks"Lauren shoulder her bag and walk out from her class. When she get out from her class Lucy and Keana already waiting for her.
Both of her friends loop their hand on each left and right side of Lauren's. They drag Lauren to the cafetaria not letting Lauren drop her bag to her locker. When Lauren out of sight Demi let out a breath. It must be hard for Lauren, Demi mused. Being the first in line in the Jauregui household. Her parents always demand Lauren be the perfect example for her siblings. Demi read Lauren file and stated she is a A+ student at almost her school subject.
Demi also know that Lauren have two other siblings. Chris and Taylor who are younger than she is. Demi shake her head as she gather her belonging and walk out from the class. She walk to the teacher lounge and smile nervously. It because she just graduate and didn't have many experience like her others co-ed in this school. Demi pull a chair back and sit on it. She observes the people around her as she take out her lunch.
Some of the teachers shoot her a welcoming warm smile, others not so much. Demi smile to herself because she can feel this year going to be a great year for her
