Angel (a Lauren Cimorelli AU)

chapter 6- The Monday before homecoming (both)

I have the story all planned out, so I'll probably finish it in the next couple days.

Maybe.

(Laurens POV)

"Loretta!" I called to my friend across the hall. "Come here darling!" She smiled and walked over.

"What is it, dear?"

"We have to act nice to little ms. Dyke. Okay? She thinks I'm her friend, so we have to act the part." I cooed, meaning that I'm actually her friend and I wanted Retta to be nice to her.

"Why do I have to be nice?"

"To make it that much better, of course!" I said blatantly, as if it wasn't obvious.

"Oh, okay." She replied, a dumb founded smile on her face. She could be really blond sometimes. She's your typical Californian blind, in fact. Light blond hair in loose waves, water blue eyes, and a perfect smile with straight, white teeth. I rolled my eyes and dragged her by the arm up to Ashton.

"Hey Ash! What's up?" I cooed, trying to regain my composure. She took my breath away with how stunning she looked in her fluffy pink dress., and hair in tight ringlets that encircled her round face. Her lips were painted a soft pink and she had thin black eyeliner on.

"Oh, just g-getting ready for the day." She stuttered, losing her cool around us.

"Brill!" Loretta stated, as if that was the norm for us.

It wasn't.

"Care to walk to class with us?" I asked, hoping she'd say yes.

"Oh, wow. Uh, sure. Yeah, I'd like that." A thin smile crept across her face at the thought and she closed her locker.

*~*~*~*~*~*

God, she's gorgeous.

No, don't think like that.

But I can't help it..

Well, try harder. You have to focus.

But look at her.

No! Class.

But...

Fine, you're right, she's amazing.

"Ms. Cimorelli, care to answer my question?" Mrs.Preston, my math teacher, asked.

"Oh, uh, wha?" I asked, dazed.

"I Knew you weren't listening. Care to answer the question on the board?"

"Oh, um. Sure." I remarked, getting up from my desk and walking up to the board. I picked up the marker and quickly finished the equation with no time to spare. "Am I correct?"

"Yes, dear. Now please pay attention for now on." She stated plainly. Oh, but I just couldn't with her sitting two rows away. Perfect view.

Sigh.

I'd definitely go gay for her.

*~*~*~*~*~*

I picked up my stuff at the end of class and raced out the door to meet Ashton by her locker. Screw Loretta, Ashtons cuter. Ashton scurried around the corner and almost ran into me, how adorable.

"Oh, sorry, didn't know you'd be here." She giggled. God, her giggle was precious.

"No problem, hey i was wondering if you'd want to go to home coming with me- And my friends of course." I rushed the last part out, wanting it to be just us, but I wasn't ready for that and no one knew about me.

"Oh, wow. Sure. I'd like that" She smiled up at me. Wonderful.

"Want to hang out at the park after school today? My sister Christina is making dinner tonight and is inviting you over as well." I said, making sure to tell Christina later.

"Sounds wonderful. I'll meet you there."

*~*~*~*~*~*

(Ashtons POV)

"Mom! I'm going to dinner at my friends house tonight!" I called ing through the doorway.

"Okay, have fun." She called back as I set my bag down and left. I was so excited, this wil be great.

Oh My God.

I'm going to Lauren Cimorelli's house. And her sister has heard about me.

Oh My God, she talks about me. 

My heart began to race and I ran to the park hoping to beat her there. I wanted to seem calm and collected before she got there .I wonder what will happen, will it be fun? Will her siblings be nice?

As I arrived, I looked around to find her sitting on the swing closest to the creek.

"Hey Ash!" She called as she saw me arrive. She got up from her swing to hug me. She was warm and smelled like strawberries (a typical scent for girls, but she made it smell like perfection).

"Oh, hey Lauren. What's up?" I asked, trying to seem cool.

"Oh, just getting ready is all." She smiled and my stomach fluttered, I could not believe this was happening.

*~*~*~*~*~*

(Laurens POV)

"Welcome to my house, where I have 10 siblings and two parents." I said with a grin.

"Oh, it's wonderful!" She cooed as she looked around. She was stunning, with her hair pinned out of her face in such a perfect way, and her silver eyeshadow that made her eyes stand out.

"God you're pretty." I mumbled on accident.

"What was that?" She asked leaning closer to me so she could hear better.

"Oh, I didn't say anything." I lied as she gave me a non-believing look. I led her through the house, giving her a little tour and brought her up to my room, where it was actually clean for once.

"And this is my room, where I sleep and practice and study and stuff." I laughed slightly, feeling a little timid.

"Its almost as wonderful as you are." She remarked as blood rushed to my face, making it hot. She smirked and I led her back down the stairs once more.

*~*~*~*~*~*

(Danis POV)

I raced down the stairs and grabbed Laurens friend as Lauren went into the kitchen to help Christina and Katherine.

"Oh, you're Laurens girlfriend." I stated, watching her blush.

"No, no, not her girlfriend. Just a friend that's a girl."

"With her, its practically the same thing. Well, if you say you're not together, she won't mind if I do this." I stated as Lauren walked throught the door with the spaghetti. I pulled her friend in and kissed her hard and fast. I left her there dazed and confused as I ran out the door away from the pissed off Lauren.

"DANI! I CANT BELKEVE YOU JUST DID THAT!" I heard Lauren bark after me, just before I shut the door.

*~*~*~*~*~*

(Ashtons POV)

What just happened? Did she just kiss me? Why? Did she want to get Lauren mad or something? Why would Lauren be mad anyways? Why did she think I was dating Lauren? Is Lauren gay or something?

"I- uh- I... I have no idea what just happened." I stammered to Lauren who looked, not only shocked and mad, but a little sad.

"Well, my sister just kissed you."

"I've never been kissed before, to be honest." I replied. I watched Laurens face fall suddenly and she sat down.

"Never mind that, let's eat."
