Why I Did It (Lauren/You)

Reason Number Six: Kristen Pecker

The very next day I was in her room again doing the project. She was typing on her phone while I wrote something down. "There's this party going on tomorrow night do you want to g-"

"No" I cut her off. She sighs "well what do you want to do?"

"Finish this project" she chews on her bottom lip. "Look y/n I know that you're upset with me. But I really want to be your friend just let me prove it to you" I threw my pencil down "how" she looks around the room.

"Well I can probably get you some respect in school" I raised an eyebrow at her "excuse me?"

"I can give you a make over" she smiles. "That's not going to give me any type of respect"

"It can change the way people look at you. What everyone is doing is stupid they just want one of us (Kristen, Haley, Jacob) to notice them....so come on it'll be fun I promise"

"Ok" she squeals standing up and helping me up "we're going shopping"

"But I don't have any money"

"It's ok. I'll pay for everything" I smiled as we walked out the room getting into her car.

We spent the whole day at the mall. To be honest I was having so much fun. I haven't had fun in a while so just spending time with someone that wasn't my dad made feel great.

Made me feel happy. Made me feel joyful.

So I guess I'll have to thank her later for that.

"Wanna hair cut?" She asks locking arms with me as we walked to her car carrying a bunch of bags. "I don't know"

"Oh come on you're going to look great. You cut it down into a bob and maybe get a bang with it. You can also dye it a cute color like blonde or red or something"

"Sure I guess" we got to her car. A couple of guys walked to us. "Hey Kristen you coming to our party tonight?"

I didn't recognized the boys. They looked older. They were probably in college. I got into the car leaving Kristen to talk to the guys.

I got on my phone and I found a text from Lauren.

Lauren❤️: hey are you busy?

You: not really what's up

Lauren❤️: I just want to vent to you today wasn't so great

You: what happened

Lauren❤️: let's start by saying that last night I didn't get any sleep. I had to get up at 7am to shoot a fucking music video. I had like several breakdowns bc God I'm so stress and crying is really my only way to cope.

Kristen gets into the car smiling "who were those guys"

"Those were some of my older friends. Y/n they just invited me to a party and said I can invite someone please go with me!"

I shook my head "uh uh nope I'm not going to anymore parties"

"Please please please I promise it'll be fun"

"Kristen do you not remember what happened at the last party I went t-"

"Nobody from school is going to be there....this is a college party it's going to be fun"

"Why can't Haley go?"

"She's out of town visiting her grandmother" I sigh "fine"

"Yes! Let's go get your hair done"
