Lauren's POV

I groan as I hit my alarm clock several times before actually shutting it off. I flop on my stomach as I stuff my head into my pillow. Ugh! I really hate how early school starts. I mean why can't we at least start later?

Sighing one more time, I get up and drag myself to my bathroom.

Looking into the mirror at myself I start to think. Why can't I look normal when I wake up? My hair was scattered and my cheeks were flushed. It's no fair that people in movies and books wake up looking like goddesses.

I grab my brush and start to brush through the tangles. Since I took a shower last night, I didn't this morning and after brushing my hair. I brush my teeth, and head to my closet.

To sum it up, I put on a navy blue tank top, jean shorts, a long navy blue flannel, and some converse. I would be more specific and explain what each clothing was called, but I know nothing about fashion. Just what looks good together and if it fits or not.

Grabbing my keys and bag, I rush downstairs. I start the car and quickly drive to school. Really, I just wanted to see Shawn. He was so sweet yesterday. Sure we almost kissed and that may have been a rush to things. Though it was in the moment, and I get it. Surely, I am not telling Cameron. I am fully aware of what he does when he is jealous or mad.

Yet, my mind was focused on Shawn. He was so interesting because I knew barely anything about him, and I want to know more. He also treated me nicely and listened. He told me things I wanted to hear, and not what was necessary. So hopefully I'll see him today. Which isn't a worry, because he is always at school.

Walking into school wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. As soon as I stepped foot out of my car Cameron had me cornered.

"Why haven't you been answering my calls?" He asks.

I roll my eyes playfully and face him with a smile. "I had a family dinner last night. They had people from work over. After it was done I went straight to my room and fell asleep. I am sorry." I explain.

Cameron puffs an okay as I grab his hand. As much as he liked to act all protective and jealous I still liked him. Sure I couldn't talk to him about certain things. But he really was nice when you got to know him.

The only thing that was in front of my feelings I have for Cameron, is Shawn. We almost kissed and we barely knew each other. Somehow I wasn't as worried like I should be. I have a boyfriend and all, but I can't help but think if Shawn is thinking about what happened. If he had any feelings like I was starting to feel.

One things for sure, I can't let my relationship or whatever with Shawn. Effect my relationship with Cameron, it is just not fair to him. I have to figure this out first.

"Hey, Lauren! What's up my girl." Jen greets me as we step foot into the building.

"Hey, Jen." I smile and hug her.

Cameron on the other hand just rolls his eyes and let's out a frustrated sigh. "I'm gonna go find Jack, Nash, and Taylor. See you later, Lauren." He says to me, adding a small peck to my lips.

"Come on let's go to your locker so you can put your stuff away." Jen says as she firmly grips my arm and rushes me towards my locker.

"Wow, Jen. Why in such a hurry? And why do you look so mad, are you okay?" I asked. She looked pissed and from the looks of how fast she wanted me alone worried me.

Jen sighs while coming to a stop in front of my locker. She then places a hand on her head and closes her eyes. "Can you promise me something?"
