The Not So New Girl

Prompt: "You moved away when we were in elementary school and moved back when we're in high school and dear Lord have the years been kind to you"

----

It was senior year. The last year of high school. Lauren had coasted through with her best friends Normani, Ally and Dinah. They'd been friends since elementary school and nothing changed in high school. It had been a memorable experience. A classic high school experience if you will. Filled with football games, cheerleading practices to take the piss out of and not get on the team etc etc.

It was the first day of senior year and Lauren walked into school with her usual black bomber jacket over a 1975 t-shirt she'd got over the summer and her classic black ripped jeans. A beanie shoved on top of unruly black hair and bright green eyes looking for her friends.

"Ay watch out boyfriend Lauren's in town!" Dinah's slightly obnoxious yell made several people laugh and Lauren walked up with a smirk.

"Nice to see you too Dinah." Lauren said, ignoring the usual stares and drooling people. She was hot, she knew it, she owned it. Sue her.

"Girl we all saw each other yesterday. Nothing's changed." Dinah complained tapping Lauren's locker. Lauren rolled her eyes and leaned against the lockers.

Suddenly there was The Whispers. The Whispers were that well known rumours and whispers that travelled the hallway when something new happened. Today's news was apparently there was a new student in town. Senior too.

"You guys here about the new senior?" Ally asked. Lauren shrugged.

"You know I don't do gossip Ally." Lauren replied, checking her phone.

"I heard she's hot." Normani nudged Lauren who scowled at her.

"Just because I like girls too doesn't mean I'll jump anything with a pulse." Lauren retorted. Dinah snorted.

"Sure Ralph. Sure." Lauren smacked her around the arm and she flinched.

"Mani, control your Dinah." Lauren teased. Normani narrowed her eyes at Lauren; she was the only one who knew about Normani's crush on their friend. Lauren had told her to just tell Dinah, you never know until you do something. But Normani was insistent that Dinah was straight and didn't like her that way. So now Lauren had to put up with two sets of pining friends. Yes, Dinah liked Normani back but was also too afraid.

"No one can control me." Dinah scoffed. Lauren laughed.

"Well that's one thing you've got right." Lauren replied. The bell rung, stopping Dinah's response.

"I'll see you guys later, I've got English." Lauren sighed, walking in the direction of her class.

"Oh! Tell us if you see the new girl!" Ally yelled, Lauren threw her a thumbs up over her shoulder and kept walking.

----

The same amount of people hit on her in English as they had done since last year. An average of... everybody. Dinah had quickly caught on to the longing stares everyone - boys and girls - gave Lauren when they walked past and had dubbed Lauren hottest girl in school. No one disagreed, like no one. Not even the cheerleaders.

So Lauren sat in the back corner like she always does, winks at the odd girl who stares just a touch too long and sends them turning around with a blush. She waves at a few of the boys who do the same thing but with slightly less feminine attitudes, usually to get nudged by their friends. She shook her head at the desperate teenagers around her and rolled her eyes. Who is actually that desperate?
