Why I Did It (Lauren/You)

Reason Number Six: Kristen Pecker

Kristen Pecker one of my old friends. She was actually someone that I didn't hate. And that's a surprise because I hate everyone in my fucking school.

It was a Wednesday afternoon. I was in my fourth period class. I hated this class because the people who made my life a living shit is sitting right behind me. Jacob Dolley, Haley Rodgers, and Kristen Pecker.

We all had 30 minutes left in class. And the class was going well until the teacher started assigning partners for an project that is Due Monday.

"No you cannot pick your partners. I'm going to pick them for you" everyone groans. I raised my hand hoping that I can work by myself. I don't think I can take working with anyone in this class.

"No y/n you cannot work by yourself." I huffed letting my hand down. "But no one wants to work with her!" Somebody yelled.

"Quiet down" I placed my head down on the desk. As she started calling people out. My leg was shaking. I didn't want to do this. I don't want to know my partner name.

I can do all the work by myself.

"Y/n and Kristen" my heart stopped. I looked back at her to see her gathering her stuff. She walked over to me and sat down next to me. She gives me a small smile.

"Let me know if she tries to rape you or something Kristen. We all know what she's capable of" I heard Jacob say chuckling. I frown looking down.

"Jacob see me after class" the teacher says making him groan.

"You can come over to my place" she says I nod as the bell rings. I stood up and grabbed my things.

I walked out the room. Along with Kristen following behind me. I walked to my car and got in. She got inside as I started the car.

I pulled out of the parking lot and drove down the street. The ride was quiet. The only thing that you could hear was the typing of Kristen phone.

"Are you going to give me directions or?" She looks up at me. "Oh right. I forgot you never came to my house. You can take a left right there and once you get the light make a right"

Once we got to her place I was shocked to see how big her house was. I didn't know she was rich. "Wow"

"You like it?"

"Yeah I always wanted to live in a house like this" she smiles letting me in. We walked up into her room.

"Your room is beautiful"

"Thank you" she sits down on her bed "we should get started" she says.

We ended up working for like 3 hours. We got a lot done in that 3 hours. I was ready to go home well go back to the hotel so I can a take the nap that I've been craving for since the beginning of the day.

I closed the book. "Well I think I should get ready to leave"

"Really? Can you stay a little bit longer?"

"why?" She shrugs looking down. "I've been missing you" I raised an eyebrow at her "really?" She nods "yes it's been awhile since we actually hanged with each other"

"Well that's because you care about your reputation. No one wants to be seen with me. And you care about what people thinks of you." I grabbed my bag "so don't act like you want to be my friend and hang out with me when you don't want to be seen around me in school" I grab my things. "Y/n really I want to be your friend. I'm honestly really sorry about how I treated you these couple of months"

"You have to do a lot more than say sorry to me. If you want me to forgive you. Bye Kristen" I walked out the room and out the house getting into my car and driving off.

I thought that would be then end of us. I didn't regret saying what I said. But I did wanted to be her friend. I needed a friend.

I've been ignoring Maia. And I haven't talked to you none that week so I really didn't have anyone. Kristen was the only one who was willing to become my friend.

I guess I should be happy for that-

"Knock knock" I looked up to see Ally. She walks in. "Hey you!" I stand up and pull her into a hug. "Hi Ally" she smiles "how is she?" I looked at Y/n.

"She's uh doing fine I guess I can say that"

"I hope you know she's going to make it. We just have to pray. And hope for the best. We'll do our part, but she's going to have do her part and fight for her life" I licked my lips. "Do you think she can hear everything we say?"

"I don't know...probably" Ally sits down on the bed. "What's that you're reading?" She asks staring at the notebook that I was hugging against my chest.

"Her diary" she raises an eyebrow "really?"

"She wanted me to read it...it's her request" she was about to speak when a guy walks in with a bunch of balloons and flowers.

"Uh hey...I just came to drop these off" he says nervously placing the items down on the table. "What's your name?" He shakes his head "It doesn't matter" he walks out the room....
