Lauren's PV

"Alright class five minutes left before showing your partner your artwork!" Mr. Harris yells across the room. I am looking at my work, but something seems strange, something seems off, I'm pretty sure I wasn't here a second ago! I look around the room...

Everything looks the same, same class, same people, nothing has changed! It can't have!

That's when I notice it, the water pot next to Liam, I look at it and force myself to think! There is something I'm missing!

Splash!

My eyes widen as I realise. Thats it! Liam! He... he knocked over the water and ruined my work!! I look down at my work, the lovely portrait of him still remains, nothing wrong about it! Something must of happened, I can see it all now, what happened before, like an alternative reality! Maybe that was what happened, do I change something in the future, is there someone else... Someone else like me?

"Right class, time up! Reveal your portraits!" Mr. Harris yells excitedly. I turn my picture to Liam as he turns his towards me.

Wow, he made me look really good, omg!! No calm down Lauren!

I blush before looking up at Liam, he's eyes are looking directly into mine, I look into his and we both smiled. I blush and no....

He blushed as well!!!! What!?!?

The bell rung, I turned away from Liam quickly packed up my things and rushed to Raven and left the classroom, I think if I stayed there any longer I would of passed out or said something stupid! Outside the classroom Raven was straight onto talking to me "Lauren... You and Liam are so cute omg, the way he was looking at you girl!" She says excitedly next to me. I smile, still a little skeptical about what had just happened.

Something was wrong, I can remember Liam spilling that water over my work, I can remember the scenario, so why is it nothing actually happened, was I daydreaming?

"You so have to ask him out!" Raven exclaimes next to me, I stop in my tracks, my mind completely on what she just said. "No... no way.. are you mad... I'll stutter and be so embarrassing, I won't be able to speak and he'll think I'm weird and...I'll die of shame!" I reply. Raven looks at me and realises that she has a challenge in front of her, she doesn't say a word, she just smiles and we walk down the corridor together.

I arrived at biology, on time I might add, I walked towards my seat to see that Matt was already there. "Hi!" He said as I sit down and unpack my things. "Hey, you alright?" I ask.
"Yeah I'm good what about you?" Replied Matt. "I'm okay, feeling a little weird, but I'm alright though." I say. Matt looked at me for a second before replying "How come?"
"Oh... I don't know, just tired probably..." I say laughing a little.

I can't tell Matt exactly why I am feeling weird, he will think I'm mad believing something happened twice.

There was an awkward silence as more people came into the classroom and sat down ready for the lesson. Matt was just looking at me, probably knowing I was lying. I frantically tried to think of what to say to him, to change the subject, that's when I thought of something...
"So ummm... my friend Raven wants to meet you! I told her about you this morning and she wanted to know if you would like to hang with her and me at lunch?" I ask him smiling.
"Yeah sure!" He says smiling back at me. As soon as he says it Miss Scott walks into the room. "Right class, quiet now, let's start the lesson!"

RING RING RING

The bell rung for the end of lesson and I began to pack up my things, and Matt and I headed to the canteen together. Upon entering I looked through the crowds of students and finally saw Raven sitting in the far corner of the room, I headed over towards her and Matt followed close behind. We finally made it to the table and I introduced them both. "Hey Raven this is Matt, Matt this is Raven." I say, gesturing towards them as I say their names. "Hi..." Says Matt.
"Hey..." Replies Raven.
"So..." I say

Well this got awkward fast!

"So... what lessons do you take Matt?" Raven says as me and him both sit down at the table. "I...I take Biology as well as Lauren, Maths and Sociology!" Matt replies " And you?" He asks.
"I...ummm... take Art which is with Lauren, English and Chemistry! Little boring and weird... Like me!" She says laughing.
"Well I don't think your boring at all!" Matt says, before quickly looking away, blushing and then talking about something else, I notice Raven blush at the comment.

Omg did Raven just blush, there was no way, could it really be... Raven likes Matt and Matt likes Raven?!? Omg!
