Lauren's POV

Today is my first day at Miami High since I moved back from L.A. I used to live here before I... Never mind. I moved away in middle school, the end of 8th grade to be exact, and I lost contact with everyone I knew. But since I went to a private school I won't know anybody at this high school. Man this is gonna suck! I have to go to the same school as my dorky brother and I already know he hasn't got the best social status. UGH!!I just hope I don't get dragged into his shit like he did mine a couple years ago.

BEEP!!! BEEP!!! BEEP!!! BEEP!!!

I groaned and blindly hit my alarm clock to shut that annoying arse sound off.
One thing I forgot about school is that you have to wake up fucking early as all shit. Whatever. Getting out of bed is always a challenge but once I was, I suddenly feel better about school. As soon as I was ready for school I went down stairs and waited for Chris to finish eating his breakfast and Taylor to finish whatever the hell thirteen year olds do. As soon as they're finally ready we all get into my car and I drop Taylor off at her middle school, then Chris and I to our high school.

As soon as I stop my car and get out I notice people staring at me, Chris seems to crumble under their gaze whereas I just start walking unfazed. When we enter the school more people start to stare and now I'm getting annoyed with it so I ask Chris to take me to the office so I can get my schedule. We arrived at the office and he says he has to get to class and takes off, leaving me to find my way around this place. Being the useless person I am with directions I walk over to the first person I see and they run off, leaving me utterly confused.

"Don't mind them, they're just being weird today, " a voice says, scaring the shit out of me. I turn around to see who said that and I'm genuinely surprised when she doesn't stare like all the other kids in this hell hole.

She's gorgeous. She has chocolate brown skin without a blemish on it, short black hair that fades into blue almost flawlessly and a beautiful toothy smile that could make anyone melt.

"Hi I'm Normani. Are you new here?" She asks and I smile. "I'm Lauren. Yeah I am, can you please help me?" She nods and returns a smile. "Can I see your schedule?" She asks and I hand it to her. "Cool we have home room and 1st together, I'll take you there now if you want?" She states more than asks and starts to drag me down the hall.

We get to home room just before the bell rings and the teacher walks in. "Alright settle down, we have a new student joining us today.Uhh Lauren Ju--" the teacher starts but I quickly cut him off as soon as he tried to say my preferred last name. I get up and make my way to the teacher and hand him a letter. He reads it and proceeds to introduce me to the class.

"As I was saying this is Lauren Morgado and she just moved here from L.A." He explains for the second time. Thank God I had that note from my re-- forget it, I shouldn't be thinking about my life in L.A. right now. I sigh and focus my attention back to whatever the fuck the teacher was trying to explain to the class.

45 minutes later I'm in my 1st period. The bell finally rings and as soon as it does I want to run out of the classroom and to the next one already. But I still don't know my way around so I wait for Normani to put her stuff away so she can show me where my next class is.

"So what was that letter you gave to our home room teacher?" Normani asks me while we're walking around the school aimlessly. "It was um... I..Shouldn't we get to class?" I ask her completely ignoring her question. "No we have a spare, now spill Morgado" she explains. I don't answer her right away because I'm not used to people calling me that.
"Hello Lauren... Lo.. Yo Laur" Normani says waving her hand in front of my face, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Huh? What?" I ask her, confused.

"Never mind. Do you want me to show you around now that we have time?" She asks.
"Yeah actually. Knowing my way around the place will be helpful, while I'm her at least." I answer. "What do you mean?" She asked me, confusion written all over her face. "Doesn't matter. How 'bout that tour of the school?" I ask to avoid answering her questions once again. "Sure let's go," Normani states which makes her drop the subject and me let out I breath I didn't know I was holding.

********

After mine and Normani's spare, she walks me to my 3rd period class and says she'll come to my locker so I can meet her friends.

An hour and a half later I get out of my 4th period and Normani comes over to my locker and she has 3 other people with her. I didn't get a good look at their faces, because when she goes to introduce me to her friends she stops and starts to stare at something behind me. I follow her gaze and it's directed at my brother getting shoved into a locker by some ugly ass Justin Bieber wannabe.

At this point I'm red in the face with anger and my hands are clenched in tight fists as I avert my gaze. Chris made it very clear to not get involved in his school life because he didn't want me to have a target on my back or any reason to expose me. Now everyone is just going back to what they were doing before and not even try to help in anyway like this is normal.

*******

After that scene the bell rang and I didn't have time to meet Normani's friends. I'm currently in my last class for the day and the bell is about 20 minutes away from ringing. All of a sudden I get a phone call from my mum and the teacher, knowing my situation, tells me to take it outside. As I walk into the hall I accept my mothers call, she then explains to me that I have to leave early to pick up Taylor and get Chris out of class too. I sigh and ask my mum to ring the school and get Chris to go to the office since he and the rest of my family, don't want anyone to know I'm related to them.

I walk back into the classroom, pack up my things and walk out. I get a few weird glares and hear people murmur things like 'where the fuck is the new kid going' and shit like that, but my teachers were warned about this stuff and didn't bat an eyelash at me leaving.

I sigh and walk to the office to get Chris, walk to my car and we get in and drive off. I walk into Taylor's shitty middle school where I used to go and all the rumours were started about me. Once Taylor's in the car I drive to our house.

A/N: Ok so this is the first fan fiction I've written, sorry if it's shit.

Anyway I'm from Australia and this fanfic is based in America, so if I use the wrong word for something or use the Aussie slang instead just let me know in the comments.

Bye Bitches,
