Becoming Brooke

12.

Skip to Friday

Ally was getting ready for the school day, she had just got done applying her lipgloss. The week practically flew by, but it's not that she minded, she spent most of her time with Lauren after all.

Lauren would walk Ally to class, then Ally would stay after and watch Lauren's soft ball practices. During lunch Ally felt like it was just them two in the world. Then when they were apart, they'd text one another as if they'd never see each other again.

As much as she'd hate to admit it, Ally was smitten by Lauren. The girl absolutely blew her breathe away by how kind she was to her.

But when Ally looks into the mirror, she frowns at herself. "If only she knew who you were."

"If only who knew who you were?"

Ally squeaks, and sees Lauren leaning against her door with her arms crossed. "Lauren, what are you doing in my house?" Why is it everyone comes in uninvited.

"Dinah said she wanted donuts before school so we are gonna grab some, lets get going babe." Lauren calls her that so casually, that she doesn't realize what she's said. "Come on Brooke." Lauren grabs Ally's bag, and walks outside to Normani's car. "Coming!"

-

"You know you didn't have to buy my donuts for me." Ally says, as she leans into Lauren's shoulder. As much as Ally protested, Lauren still bought her breakfast.

Lauren decides to keep her cool, despite how close the small girl is, and puts her arm over her shoulder making her come closer.

"It's no biggie, besides I'm ten points away from a free dozen of donuts."

Dinah and Normani were discussing what they were going to wear to the party tonight, so they were totally distracted.

"Hey Brooke?"

Lauren's tone made Ally look up, making their faces inches apart. "Yes."

"Would you, you know, wanna be my date to the party tonight?" Lauren fidgets with Ally's hand.

Ally smiles and holds her hand, and puts her head back on Lauren's chest, "Yes."

The silent little 'Yes' absolutely made Lauren's heart do flips, and they just sat and listened to the couple in front of them bicker about color schemes.
