Finally

Lauren's pov

I woke up to the sound of yelling. "Of course" I thought, there's no way that Chris and Taylor could just get along for once. Once I finally talked myself into getting out of my bed, I walked out of my door into the hallway where all that could be heard was,"shut the fuck up Chris, you little dipshit, I'll beat your ass if you say it again." Of course he couldn't resist the generous offer, "Taylor's in looooovvvveeee" he sang. The next thing I heard was a loud crash and Chris groaning with displeasure. I was enjoying this very much but I knew that if I let things escalate then I'd be getting in trouble. Once I had the willpower to deal with the people I called siblings, I ran down stairs, which didn't really help because all I saw was Taylor with the biggest smile on her face, letting me know I didn't have to look at where Chris was lying on the ground, to know that he'd given up. "Well, my job is done here" Taylor said, and walked off toward her bedroom on the second level. Chris just sat there looking like he was about to throw up, because from the information that I gathered, the pan that was laying on the counter hadn't been there when I went to sleep, and he had the biggest goose egg forming on his forehead. I just stared at him, silently asking why he was the dumbest person ever. Messing with Taylor was like messing with John Cena, your just not going to win. See Lauren's tactic when she pisses Taylor off is to promise her free ice cream for a week or two, depending on how bad the situation was. 99% percent of the time Taylor would accept her offer, the other 1% was the time that Taylor beat her ass for telling her new boyfriend to fuck off, except he wasn't her boyfriend, and he was gay so.... you get the point, don't mess with Taylor.

As Lauren drifted back up stairs she was reminded of yesterday and her new friend(s). See Lauren had just moved here from Texas because of her dads work, and was totally dreading, well everything. Back at her school in Texas she was bullied for being gay, no one likes her and she needed out of there, forever, so once her dad her about the job offer in Miami, she spent 3 days straight convincing him to take it and finally get away from the hellhole they used to call home. Mike, her dad, already accepted the job before he told Lauren and her family, he just liked seeing Lauren so passionate about something other than hockey or girls. Of course once Lauren found out she was about to spend 3 more days figuring out a plan to beat his ass because she was pissed, he had just wasted 3 days of his daughters life on what, nothing, absolutely nothing. But in the end, sadly, her father was still moving them away from there so Lauren eventually gave up on it, convincing herself that she didn't want to waste anymore of her precious time.

So that's what landed her here in Miami. Luckily she had bumped into Dinah at the grocery store, Dinah asking which school she went to because she hadn't see her before, Lauren told her she had just moved there from Texas. This sparked another conversation because Normani, or as Dinah said it "Mani was from there too!" Lauren immediately became friend with the Polynesian, who told her that she had some friends of hers that she wanted Laurent to meet.

That's what led her to the rink, where she questioned Dinah what they where doing there because it was super early and she didn't know that Miami even had hockey rinks. Once she had spotted Dinah at the rink with her equipment she had asked her what team she was trying out for, which Dinah responded,

"My high school team, sorry my bad, our high school team"

Lauren thought for a moment before replying with, " I didn't know we had a hockey team"

This made Dinah roll her eyes and let out a little giggle before her attention was drawn away towards a dark skinned girl. Apparently this was one of the friends that Dinah wanted Lauren to meet because she quickly pulled the older girl towards her. As soon as Dinah introduced the girl as Mani, it all  clicked with Lauren, as she introduced herself as "Lauren, but you can call me Laur." This made Normani reply the same towards her.

After those introductions, it seemed as if Dinah was searching for someone, to no avail, it seemed that the mysterious girl wasn't there. Dinah told her to wait until after tryouts to meet the younger girl saying that she was probably stressed out enough with Dinah not being there early enough for her liking. Lauren just agreed and went to sit in the stands on the left side of the rink.

The first thing she saw was a shorter girl with brown hair, that was about down to her ribs. She couldn't really see the girls face due to her hockey mask, but it seemed as though she was in charge, Lauren knew that this was probably the girl that Dinah wanted to introduce her to. Her suspicions were confirmed when Dinah started talking with the girl, like they had been friends for some time now.

As soon as the brown haired girl stepped foot on the ice I could tell that she had been doing this a long time. The way she carried herself was amazing. She tried to give everyone tips showing that she was a natural born leader. Lauren couldn't really keep her eyes the girl, the only time she can remember breaking her eyes away from the girl was when Dinah had accidentally gotten tripped and she ate ice like crazy. Like could feel her laugh erupting from her mouth. The girl wasn't paying attention to the drill, and from what she thought, Dinah had her eyes on a certain dark skinned girl.

After the tryout Dinah was so engrossed with talking to the dark skinned girl that she didn't even notice her friend start to wonder off the ice. As soon as she heard someone tripping and falling she knew that any chance the younger Latina had at making a good first impression where pretty much gone. As she turned to watch the scene play out in front of her she noticed that Lauren had vanished from her seat and was now bolting down the stairs toward the Polynesians friend. Dinah started to laugh upon noticing the blood coming from her best friends nose, Camila hated nose bleeds, it was probably one of her biggest pet-peeves, and yet you'd think that she would've gotten over it because of how clumsy the girl is.

Lauren helped the younger girl up, deciding to introduce herself before the girl in front of her can get even redder.

"Lauren, my names Lauren, nice to meet you but your nose is bleeding so I think I should take you to a nurse."

Lauren led the younger girl by her hand towards the nurses office, with the help of the brown eyed girls directions. Oh did lauren forget to mention that the mysterious girl took her helmet off before she decided to give a nice big kiss to the ground. All Lauren had to say was wow. She didn't know who this girl was but she knew that she definitely wanted to get to know her better.

As soon as the nurse cleaned up the younger girls nose, Lauren offered her a ride home. As soon as the other girl accepted her offer they were on their way. Lauren wanted to ask who the girl was so badly, but she looked to be in so much pain, and she was holding a huge pack of ice to her nose so there was that as well. As the mysterious girl led Lauren to her house, she couldn't help feeling like she was missing something. She turned to go and talk to the girl but she wasn't there, that's when she heard the girl calling out for her to open the trunk. As soon as she popped it, Lauren felt a weight unload off her car, and she saw the girl running to her house, somewhere in between wondering what she was doing, she heard a thank you. That was good enough for her. As she called out to the girl all she could see was the girl take one last look over her shoulder before disappearing into her home.

"You" Lauren thought.

She backed away from the girl with no name's-house, and headed on her way back home. As soon as she hit her pillow she felt relieved. She couldn't wait for school to start so that she could finally have a fresh start, away from everything, finally.
