Lauren's POV

I can't believe he's here, I haven't seen him since I got sign-- Ugh! I really need to stop thinking about L.A. He caught my eye during our spare which caused Ally and I to wrestle in the middle of the hallway. I wonder if he's still with--

"Hey Lo! Whatcha lookin at?" Ally questions, interrupting my train of thought.

"More like who. Look Allycat" I tell her as I point in his general vicinity, not wanting to attracted unnecessary attention.

Her eyes go wide and her jaw dropped, I guess she's just as shocked as I was to see him back here of all places.

"I thought he was in L.A recor-" Ally started but I quickly clapped my hand over her mouth and dragged her into an empty classroom.

"Eww Ally! Was that really necessary?" I ask as I wiped her spit off my hand.

"Was it necessary for you to put your hand over my mouth in the first place?" She counters.

"Yes, it was. You can't just say things like that in the middle of the hallway. He's probably here for the same reason I am" I explain to her.

"And you're her because..?" I guess nobody caught her up on my situation and the ultimatum I was given.

"Ally the rehabilitation centre--" I start with a saddened voice before I was interrupted.

"Hey dyke" I'd recognise that voice anywhere. I turn my head so fast it could give someone whiplash.

Troye Sivan.

"What's up fag?" I smirked before I pulled my best friend in for a lingering hug.

"What are doing here? I thought you had to stay in L.A for another year?" I ask, not expecting the answer I received.

"Same as you, I got the ultimatum and decided school was the better choice." He explains and I sighed.

"Ugh! Why are they doing this. I'm calling Alyx" I decide with a frustrated exhale of breath but Troye grabs my phone before I could dial the number.

"Think about what you're doing Lo, they gave us a choice and they can easily take it away. But to answer your question, they think it's best to either keep the rehab a secret or release us fully to the public." He reasons and answers my question. I sigh and mumble a 'whatever' in response.

"Uhm Lo-lipop?" He says my old nickname with a shaky voice.

"Wow I haven't heard that name in years. What's up Tro?" I answer with his old nickname.

"Yeah, we sound crazy" he chuckles nervously.

"Whatta' ya need?" I ask in an accent to try and relax him a little bit and by the looks of it, it worked.

"Well I kinda wanted to ask you if...."

********

"Hey guys what's up?" I ask as I sit down at my now regular lunch table.

"Nothin' much dawg, please tell me you have detention after school Melly" Dinah asks desperately and I start to laugh before I remember something.

"Sorry D, I've had substitutes all day so no detentions." Melanie answers, almost relieved.

"Sick of you already Melly? It's been like a week and you have somehow managed to make the teachers regret their career choices. It's a new record" Kylie said with a laugh, making as all giggle.
