"Hey, Lauren, what did you get on that test we took? I got a 78. They said the lowest was a 40..." Ally sat on my bed holding her phone out towards me. Part of me wanted to ignore her. I was trying to relax because I had only just gotten back from Normani's after staying over last night and I was tired. But alas, I read it over chuckling. A 40? The test was so fucking easy, a 4 year old could pass it.

"Hold on, I haven't checked. I'm sure it was average though, I barely got any sleep before I took it." I clicked onto the app on my own phone, quickly losing the amusement I once felt. She took notice, frowning.

"What? What's wrong?"

"I...I got the 40." I disclosed shaking my head. I really thought I had it in the bag. It was the easiest thing we learned all semester. Ally and I both spent the same amount of time preparing for it, So why did I fail?

"Aw. Lauren don't worry, your grade is still high overall. You-"

"No but I keep getting low grades on everything! It's going to add up and I won't get accepted anywhere for law school. My life is going downhill." Maybe I was being dramatic, maybe not. Either way, I was upset. Everything I said was true. My grades were in fact dropping and I had no idea why- well maybe I did but that was beside the point. This was the best I've felt all year and my work didn't show for it at all.

"Lauren relax. You're-"

"Don't say it. Please just don't. I'm...I'm gonna go take a walk or something." I locked my phone and shoved it into my pocket then left. I wasn't really sure where my feet were taking me but I needed the distraction so I walked on until I found myself in front of a familiar door.

Dj and Mani ❤️

Why hadn't I noticed that sign before? It's cute.

I shook my head remembering that I was upset, then I knocked twice on the door. To my surprise it opened almost immediately revealing Normani in casual attire. She looked like she had just woken up.

"Hey Lolo," she paused to yawn "Back so soon on this lovely Saturday afternoon?" I frowned and walked in past her, going straight to her bed.

"Well okay then." The door shut and soon she was sitting beside me rubbing her eyes. "Everything Okay?" I shook my head "Do you want to talk about it?" I sniffled and mumbled a small no. When did I start crying?

"Okay that's fine. I'll just put on a movie. One second" the weight on the bed shifted but when she came back I rested my head on her chest and turned towards the TV.

After another half hour, I was finally feeling okay. I hadn't really thought much about the reason I came here. I was content with just watching the movie while cuddled beside her. I wish I could stay here forever.

She squeezed my hand and I finally looked up at her as she wiped my eyes. "You're beautiful, you know?" She kissed my forehead somehow coaxing a smile out of me. "Finally I was wondering when the 8th wonder of the world would reappear."

I tucked my head in her shoulder, hiding my blush.

"Shut up."

She suddenly sat up straight and stared into my eyes. I didn't mind though because her eyes were beautiful. She moved her hand to my hair and slowly placed her lips on mine.

I returned it, desperate to convey my emotions towards the older girl, it was almost too much to handle. She pulled me onto her lap, squeezing my hips lightly then trailed a hand up to run her fingers through my hair.
