Lauren Imagines

9. Truthfully

Your POV:

I was used to moving to new places and starting new schools, never really fitting in or making any friends, but this time my parents promised me it was different, I was going to stay in Miami for my last year of school; no moving, no stress, no having to leave friendships behind. Maybe that was why on my first day of the newest school I was more nervous than I had been in the past, I really wanted to fit in and make some friends, instead of being the loner who sat on their own table at lunch.

Walking into the school, I was met with crowded halls and sweaty teenagers, some rushing to get to class and some just waiting around. Following directions to the reception to get my timetable, a girl was walking down the corridor, the rest of the students parting like the red sea to let her past. Before I could move aside she shoved me into one of the lockers not even acknowledging my presence. As annoyed as it made me feel I decided I would let this one go, not wanting to create a scene on the first day, instead I made a mental note to find out who the arrogant asshole was, although I had to admit the arrogant asshole did look good.

After battling through the corridors of students I found reception, receiving my timetable and directions to my first lesson. Luckily I got there in time, avoiding the embarrassment of being the new girl who was late to class on the first day, the teacher pointed me to a seat next to a bubbly girl who introduced herself as Ally and offered to show me around and introduce me to her friends. I happily accepted her offer, hoping that this time really would be different than all the other schools I had attended. I was feeling good and hopeful for once, but my mood dropped when the asshole from earlier walked through the door, not bothering to apologise for being late, and took the seat next to me and leaned over,

"You know you really should look where you're walking. I'll let it slide this time seeing as though you're new and you're hot but let's try not to let that happen again", she said winking at me before she turned to get her equipment out. I was too shocked and angry to reply, only managing to huff in her direction before I turned to try and concentrate on the lesson.

Lauren's POV:

It was the first day of the last year of school and I couldn't be happier, every day that passed was a day closer to freedom and a day closer to getting out of this hellhole. Although I was happy to be leaving my mood was dampened when some idiot decided to not move out of my way in the halls. To make matters worse it turned out she was in my first class, sitting there all prim and proper, with pens and paper all laid out on the desk ready to begin. She seemed like she was an uptight nerd, but the manner in which she looked at me inspired me to play with her a little. As I leaned over to talk to her I felt her gaze lowering to my chest, and then back up to my lips, and although she tried to look disgusted by me I knew, just like every other girl in this school, she would soon be desperate to be with me. And for some reason the prospect of being with her excited me more than I could have imagined, sure this girl was beautiful but there was something else about her that I was immediately drawn to.

Your POV:

After class Ally showed me to my next lesson, which we also had together and she introduced me to her friends, Normani, Dinah and Camila. I began to feel more settled, and sitting with them at lunch it didn't take long to feel part of their group. However, I felt a pair of eyes on my back and turned to see the girl from the corridor and my first class staring at me with her piercing green eyes.

"Erm, Ally? Who's that girl over there? She shoved me earlier, and then blamed me for it and now she's staring right at me"

The girls laughed in response to my question, "you better watch out for her, her name is Lauren, she's like the school's player, she's probably been with half the girls in this school. It looks like she's got her eyes on you, but seriously watch out, she's trouble."
