Irresistible - Lauren Cimorelli

Chapter 5; New Girl

Lauren hasn't spoken to me for over two weeks. She texted me after she kissed me and left, telling me that she doesn't want to talk to me anymore because she thinks it'll be best. That girl has so many mood-swings it doesn't make any sense. 

I sprint to class, I'm already late enough. I don't need Lauren to be on my mind. She's stupid anyway. I'm stupid for liking her. I'm so stupid. Maybe I should like someone else. I should. I should try and like someone else. Is that possible? No way! I can't move on that quickly! She's beautiful...And her jawline...It's amazing. 

They're already in class. Obviously. They're going through something. I'm sure I'll love psychology. I'm transferring into Mr Bians's class. He likes me and I like him. He's my favourite teacher.

I knock on the door frantically and he opens it with a warming smile on his face. "Come in Flo, we're just going through everything we learned last week for you. Would you like to introduce yourself to the class?" He asks smiling brightly at me and I nod before walking in, clutching my books to my chest tightly.

I stand in front of them, my eyes scanning the faces. "Hi, I'm Flo Clifford." I introduce and he cocks his head to the side.

"What class are you transferring from, Flo?" He asks me nicely and I slouch a bit more.

"Woodwork." I reply bluntly before the only girl who has her head down looks up at me. "Hol-ly crap!" I shout slowly, staring into her warming brown eyes. Everyone turns back to look at her and they all turn back to me. 

Why the fuck is Lauren in this class?!

"Flo uh...You can take a seat next to Lauren if you want." Mr Bians tells me and I start to laugh.

"Oh hell naw!" I exclaim loudly and everyone bursts into giggles. 

"Well, since you don't want to sit next to her, you can join the tables together and you can sit at the same desk. It'll give you a good opportunity to make a friend." He smiles and I roll my eyes. What is this? First grade?

"No sir, this isn't possible." I reply slouching down and he glares at me before I sigh and head over to her.

"Fuck this shit." I whisper but Lauren glared at me, so I must've been pretty loud. 

"Language!" She whispers back, slapping my arm gently as I sit down. I glare at her back. 

"Don't talk to me, Lauren. I'm really not in the mood for games."

"What games?" She asks me and I roll my eyes.

"I clearly remember you kissing me and running off two weeks ago."

"It's not like you wanted me to kiss you so just don't talk about it." She whispers 

"Yeah, and obviously you didn't want to kiss me." I reply arrogantly, shaking my head.

"Well you didn't want to kiss me either."

"I didn't say that." I hiss.

Shit.

I burst into tears immediately as I'm more embarrassed than I've ever been in my life. She studies me carefully and I shake my head. 

"Forget I said that." I whisper before standing up, grabbing my books and Mr Bians looks at me.

"Go wash your face, Flo." He tells me kindly and I nod in appreciation. 

---

"Fuck." I whisper staring at myself in the mirror. "Why did I say that?! Why do I talk before my brain can actually catch up?!" I ask before slamming my hands against the sink. 

I begin to sob, wailing my heart out. I can't help it. I'm so embarrassed and ashamed. I can't believe I basically told her I was bisexual. I can't help but still love her though because she's plastered on my heart like a tattoo. 

I go to reach for the paper towels. There's none left. I then look for toilet paper I can dry my eyes with, but some asshole had to go and put it all on the floor. 

I then take my top off delicately and wipe my eyes with it. 

"Stupid idiot. Thinking she'll ever love you back. She's fucking straight." I whisper fiercely.

"Ah-hem."  

"Shit." I whisper quickly placing my shirt back on.

"Can I talk to you, please?" I her say and I jerk to the girl I'm crying over.

"Are you sure you don't want to tease me about wanting to kiss you? Cause I'm sure you're pretty grossed out!" I exclaim and she shakes her head.

"I'm not."

"Then why are you here?"

"Because...I want to-..."

She cuts herself off and shakes her head.

"Flo...I'm in love with you."

I begin to tear up as soon as those words have left her mouth and she inches closer to me, her hands press against my waist and I feel a sense of warmth pacing through my body.

She picks me up and lifts me up onto the sink, she then jumps up on me, sitting on my lap. She reaches up to press her hands on my cheeks but her left hand climbs up the back on my neck and then she presses her lips against mine. 

I don't know how this happened.

I'm currently making-out with Lauren Cimorelli.

Her hand reaches my hair and she curls it in her fingers.

I pull away as I see someone else enter.

"Fuck." I whisper and Lauren punches my stomach.

"Language! I can't be that bad a kisser..." 

"No, it's not you. You're an amazing kisser."

"What the fuck. What the fuck are you guys doing?" I hear someone ask and Lauren jerks around only to see Mindi Noels standing there, who has just witnessed us making out.

"Um." Lauren hesitates and slides off of me.

"Nothing." I reply smirking like an idiot. Lauren stands behind me and pulls my hand back and squeezes it tightly before letting go.

"Flo Alix Clifford, will you be my girlfriend?" I hear Lauren whisper and I feel tears well up in my eyes.

"Yes," I whisper before she smiles gently at me.

"Well, I heard that. You two are now officially an item." Mindi mocks and Lauren and I roll my eyes in sync.

"Flo-Yo has a girlfriend!" Mindi smiles and I force away a blush. I don't want to blush in front of Lauren. 

"She does. A girlfriend who will treasure her." Lauren replies and Mindi screams in excitement before racing out.

"Soon, the whole school will know soon."  I reply and Lauren laughs.

"I don't care who knows, I want you and I don't care who knows because I love you and I don't want to hide how I feel in front of some stupid idiots." She whispers and I feel myself turn a dark crimson color.
