Becoming Brooke

26.

The next week of school, Lauren and Ally walk in together hand in hand. They spent the entire weekend texting and talking on the phone. Ally was so happy, but she didn't feel herself.

Because she wasn't exactly herself. Ally walked with Lauren until they met with Dinah and Normani before class. They had spent the weekend together 'catching up' as Dinah put it.

"I thought I'd never see the day you'd get your head out of your ass and make her your girlfriend." Normani says, as she sees her friends.

Lauren glares, "Ha ha very funny, come one we are gonna be late for class."

"Aww Lauren is actually gonna be on time, good job Brooke." Dinah teases.

Not looking back, Lauren sticks her middle finger behind her.

-

"Lets just do Japan."

"I want Morocco."

"No we are doing Japan."

"Brazil!

"Get over here, we are doing Japan!"

Dinah and Lauren, again, are arguing about which country they'd like to do. Dinah was looking at the big map at the front of the classroom, and Lauren was on the computer Miss Sparks gave each group.

"If our budget is 5000 then can you sell yourself for sex to get us more things." Dinah tells Lauren, as she finally sits down.

"No Dinah, start looking at hotels for us to stay in."

"Brooke, Lauren wants you to look for hotels."

Ally laughs, "Dinah I just heard her say for you to do it." Ally stills starts to pull up hotels for their project, and Normani mumbles in her sleep "Dinah shut up."

Dinah glares at her sleeping girlfriend, "Anyway Brooke lets go dress shopping for Hoco."

"Oh I'm going?"

"No shit, it's our senior year you have to go, don't worry I'm sure Lauren will be the hopeless romantic she is and ask you in a cute way."

Lauren blushes and Ally kisses her cheek, "Aww my baby, yeah I'll go with you tomorrow." Ally says.

"I thought we had a study date." Lauren pouts.

"Mani and me surely enjoy our study dates." Dinah winks at the couple, and they both blush. "I'll go to your house after, I promise." Ally smiles at her girlfriend.

"Fine, I'll take it."

The bell rings, and it takes a good minute before the girls got Normani to wake up.

"Baby, you don't have practice today, why don't you come over and we can nap together." Dinah suggest. Normani nods, "I like that."

"Dinah!" Tori hops and koala hugs Dinah. "Hey Tor, hows it going?"

"Yeah Tor, How is it going?" Normani crosses her arms.

"Oh shit, I smell jealousy." Lauren whispers to Ally.

"Oh yeah Babe, this is Ally's bestfriend she just moved here, Tori meet my girlfriend Normani, Mani meet Tori."

Tori walks towards Normani and gives her a hug, "It's so nice to meet you, I've heard so much about you."

"Good things I hope?" Normani is nervous that Dinah told her everything.

"Mostly, but don't worry, there is a reason for every mistake." Tori smiles and walks to Ally.

"By the way Al- Brooke! Your mom wanted me to give you your lunch since you forgot it this morning." Tori hands Ally her lunch, but on the front of it, in bold letters, was "To My Sweet Ally."

When Ally sees it, she grabs it quickly, making everyone look at her. Tori notices the bag, and makes up something "There was a spider, I'm deathly allergic, thanks Brooke for saving my life!" Tori quickly walks away.

"Okay let's all go to class." Ally and Lauren begin to walk.

When they get to Ally's hallway, Lauren gives her a kiss. "See you at lunch Brooke."

When Lauren walks away, Ally frowns and says to herself quietly, "My names not Brooke."
