Lauren

Lauren Chapter 1 (Unedited) I hope you enjoy !!

"Lauren Samantha Rosehill!" I woke up to my mothers loud voice.

Every single morning, Monday through Friday this is what I would wake up to.

It was my mothers idea of a wake up call. In my opinion it was her excuse for her to be loud and dramatic without having to admit to it. Because that's exactly what she was. A loud, dramatic , overprotective and strict, mother. Now don't get me wrong I loved my mom, but sometimes she could really annoy me.

"Lauren! I'm not going to call you again! Get down here now! It's 7:15! School starts at 7:45!..." As she kept shouting I continued to brush my hair and listen to Ed Sheeran.

I was all into the song, singing word by word right along with Ed and then my bathroom door flew open. "Lauren Rosehill! " Instantly I knew I was in trouble. I had been ignoring mom, not expecting her to walk all the way up here to yell at me face to face.

"Yeah mom? " I asked innocently as if I had no idea why she was so angry.

" I've been calling you for 20 minutes! If you hadn't had that darn music up so loud you'd be able to hear me!"

I was so into the song I started to sing a little while she was lecturing me. " watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side , high ...." Suddenly my mom snatched my iPod out of the dock and I was being dragged downstairs.

"You have 3 minutes to eat." I could tell she was fed up with me already and it was only Monday.

Well I had better things to think about other than my mom's attitude. I was going back to school today; and not just to any school. I was going to high school. I had dreamed about this day for as long as I could remember. After watching all those movies, you know, bring it on, mean girls , never been kissed, I had a pretty good idea of how my high school life would be.

I'm rich and I'm pretty. There's no way I would be an outcast at Carver Academy. I was so sure that everyone would love me and every guy would fawn over me the second I stepped foot on campus. After all I was beautiful. I was 5'5" with perfectly tanned skin, long flowing jet black hair, blue eyes that anyone can get lost in and boobs the size of coconuts. I was so going to be popular.

"Lauren. Let's go." The coldness in my mom's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I was used to her attitude though so I shook off her coldness and grabbed my bag off the coffee table. "Lauren if I have to tell you one more time to stop putting your bag on the coffee table..." I ignored mom's lecture. I was too focused on how my uniform looked for my first day of high school.

As we were leaving, my brother, Luke, was just coming downstairs still in his pajamas and had uncombed hair.

"How come Luke doesn't have to leave when we leave. He goes to school too, and last time I checked school started at 7:45 for him too!" Mom was taken aback by my outburst.

"He's 17 and he has his own car. He's a senior this year. It's no longer my responsibility to look after him. He'll be 18 in 3 weeks, he has to take care of himself." My mothers response was so nonchalant it made my blood boil.

"I'm 15. I'm not exactly incapable of taking care of myself." I tried not to sound immature with my response.

"Lauren please. I don't have time for your "I want to be a grown up" antics this morning. If we don't leave in the next 20 seconds I will be late for work." I just gave up and stared heading towards the door when suddenly my brother spoke.

"I could give her a ride to school if you want. You know that way you can get to work on time and uh you'll basically make her high school life a living hell if you drop her off. " I looked at mom hoping she would say yes and she simply said "Love you guys." And with that she left.

********

"You excited?" My brothers voice broke through my headphones.

"Excited and nervous." I grinned my perfect white teeth and I saw my brother look at me out the corner of his eye.

"What?" I questioned him.

He sighed. "Listen Lau, I know you think high school is going to be like it is in the movies, but reality check, it's not." I shook my head at him. I had heard this all before. I don't get why my siblings always try to kill my vibe. I wish they'd just let me experience things on my own and let me form my own opinions.

"Look all I'm saying is high school isn't what you might think. But I'm here for you, you know that right ?" I looked at him.

"Yeah. I just don't want you watching over me all the time. If I need you I will come to you." I focused on my phone.

"Promise?" He starred at me as we were done parking.

"Promise!" I assured him and leaped over to his seat and gave him a hug and kiss. "Now let's go! I don't want to be late!" I opened the car door not waiting for my brother. He got out of the car slowly and I looked back at him. He had a sad and almost worried expression on his face.

"You okay?" I approached him.

"Yep. I just don't want you to get hurt." He managed to give me a half toothed smile.

"Oh please. I will be fine." I tried to sound confident in my response to ease his worry.

"It's just I know how this school is Lau...the people here aren't exactly the nicest people.." He looked down.

The first thing I thought was "is my brother being bullied?" but there was no way that would happen. My brother was 6'3 with tan skin, washboard abs, blue eyes, clean cut black hair, and just the right amount of facial hair. And on top of all that he was on the basketball team. But I had to ask anyway.

"Luke..are you being bullied?" His eyes widened and and a wave of shock and amusement came across his face.

"No Lau." He couldn't stop himself from laughing. "It's just I've seen some things in my years here. I know how they treat the freshman, especially the girls..." His face more sincere now.

"Okay, well thanks for the heads up bro, but trust me I will be fine!" And with those words I headed towards the door. Before I entered I stopped just to soak it all in. I looked around and I couldn't stop grinning. I looked like a kid in a candy store. People started to notice so I regained composure and opened the door to Carver Academy.

As I took my first step onto the sparkling marble floors the impossible happened.

I fell.

All I could think was "my life is over."

And so I lied there right in front of the entry way of Carver Academy on my first day of school.

I sighed.

What a day this is going to be.
