Lovers and Friends

Chapter 12

Lauren's P.O.V

"Kissing on me, kissing on me"

I immediately grabbed my phone and shut off my alarm. I rolled over in the bed and just sat there staring at the wall. I had stayed up all night anxiously waiting for Cody to reply back but he never did. Did I say something wrong? I hope he wasn't mad at me. I don't know why but for some reason I was in my feelings. I mean it's not like he's my boyfriend or anything but I kind of want him to be.  He should reply back every time we talk unless he's busy and if so , he should just say it. I put my head in my pillow and screamed.

Lord, what is this boy doing to me.

I sluggishly walked to the bathroom to take care of my hygiene so I could get ready for school. When I got out the shower, I lotioned up and threw on my  black nike sweats with the hoodie to match, and my all black Nike Prestos.  I checked the time and it was already 7:45.

Damn, I was about to be late.

I left my curls out in their natural state and just slicked my edges down because I didn't have time to do my hair. I didn't really feel like going to school today because I didn't want to run into Cody or have to face him in any kind of way. But as captain of the dance team, I had to set an example. This meant going to class and practice everyday, even when I didn't want to. I walked out of the house, hopped in my car, and sped off towards the school.

As soon as I pulled up, the bell rung signaling that it was time for 1st period. I took a deep breath and got out the car. There wasn't many people in the halls since the bell had already rung so I was able to get through the halls quickly and get my stuff out of my locker. After I grabbed everything I needed, I made my way to class.

"Nice of you to join us Ms. Jones" Mrs. Richardson announced as soon as I stepped foot in the classroom, and everyone turned around and looked at me. She is so freaking extra.

I wanted to ask them all what the fuck they were looking at, but instead I just went to go take my seat. I was pretty much zoned out the whole entire class until I heard the bell ring. Thank God. I practically ran out of the door.

My first few classes flew by considering I didn't do anything but show up. By the time lunch had came around, I still hadn't seen Cody and I was becoming even more anxious by the minute.

"Hey girl, what's up with you?" Victoria asked as she came and took a seat at our usual spot in the lunchroom.

"Yea, what's up? You over here looking like a lil sad puppy" Nisha laughed.

"If anybody or anything is looking sad, it's you and your hair." I snapped back and she immediately stopped laughing. This bitch always got some slick shit to say. I side-eyed Victoria and she looked down. I could tell that she was trying to hold her laughter in by the smirk on her face.

Nisha stood there looking stupid, while the rest of our friends walked up to the table and sat down. Everybody had already begun eating or was bout done and she was still standing there looking crazy.

"Girl, sit yo retarded ass down." Shantelle said , and we all burst out laughing.

"Girl shut yo ass up." Nisha replied with an attitude, and sat down and started nibbling on her food.

"Who got your panties in a bunch?" Shantelle asked.

"Nobody, she just mad cause Lo went off on her ass, that's all." Victoria chimed in.

"Well you probably deserved it then." Shantelle shrugged and continued eating.

None of us ever felt sorry for her when stuff like this happened because she was always talking shit, throwing shots or starting something with somebody, it never failed. But she never liked it  when people did it to her. She sat off to the side with an attitude for the rest of lunch and didn't say a word.
