Look For Me || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 2

Amy's P.O.V.

The door slam shut as Lauren left. I sometimes pity her, knowing that this family was against her, except our brothers though. Unlike the others, I don't hate Lauren, I'm just afraid the others will pick on me if I chose Lauren over them.

"Good that already left," Christina scoffed, finishing her cereal.

"Oh come on, she's not that bad." I shrug, standing up to place my bowl in the sink. I really hate hearing them backstab Lauren, well it happened on a daily basis.

"Don't be a goody-goody. Unless you like Lauren more than us." Dani raised an eye brow and so do the others. I gulped, scared of them even more than I am usually.

I stayed silent, biting my bottom lip. I always get nervous when I'm a serious situation like this.

"Well?" Dani mocks, crossing her arms. She was smirking, ugh.

"I don't okay, don't be too sure about yourself." I groaned.

After that situation we all left the house for school. I was walkking ahead of the others because of our little banter earlier, which I don't want happening anymore. That's what I get for caring too much, I get hurt.

I walk slowly, slightly kicking little pebbles on the sidewalk. Nothing was really interesting in this town. Sacramento is just another Callifornia town that no one gives a fuck about since we're  nothing compared to LA or Sac town. Even Oregon sounded better at this point.

When we arrived at school, we only had 10 minutes since the others decided to stop to take selfies by the view. I went to my locker, which was 3 lockers away from Lauren's and 2 lockers away from Dani. I guess it's just luck that we all got lockers near to each other. There's even a symbolism of it. Lauren was distant from everyone and I was torn between us sisters. I guess it really does mean something if you think about it a bit.

Christina, Katherine, and Lisa just dropped us by before they went on their way to Community College which was 5 blocks away. I'm just thankful that they still do that even though we were capable of being alone.

I grabbed my stuff for next class, and noticed Dani looking pissed off at me. I don't know who she was staring at, it was either Lauren or I.

Next class went on, and basically nothing much was happening. Announcements, return slips, and other homeroom things. It was just boring really. Then we had Physics, oh how lovely. We were down to our last few months of classes, I think 3 or 4 more? It was currently January, and class ended last week of May.  Probably 4 months.

I didn't pay attention muc, not until there was announce over the speakers.

"Okay everyone, settle down." Ms. Redolph, our principal, said. "I have an important announcement that I do not want anyone to screw up, okay?" She orders, well I guess. She cleared her throat as we all silenced.

The class was afraid of Ms. Redolph since she expected so much from our batch. We were graduating this year which was just amazing.

"The school was chosen, out of all the schools in the states, to have 1 representative to write a song, that will be featured for an album. The album is by a specific band that I don't want to mention since it will drive people insane by doing so." Is she serious? No offense to anyone, but this school was not filled with the brightest people, only a few are able to reach expectations. "The due date of this "song" will be in a month. Better get yourselves writing. The clock is ticking, good luck." She finally says before we got back to our lesson.

I felt guilty about not paying attention in class, but I can't shake the feeling that Lauren should write a song. She's great with lyrics, even poems. I hope she does write, since this will be a good opportunity for her, even for the family. The family might even accept her fully, since only the men in the family like her. Well I also do, but it's difficult to keep it to myself at times.

Ever since that day though, no one looked at her the same. It wasn't her fault. It was mom's if only I could have helped her.... I blame myself for being such a coward and not stepping up.

Lauren's P.O.V.

After that announcement and a few periods, it was finally lunch. It's one of the only things I look forward to in school. There was no purpose of school if I couldn't hang out with my friends. It was just an escape.

"So Lauren, are you going to enter the contest?" Jaimee, my other friend, asked me as we sat on our regular table.

"No," I answered coldly, playing around with my lunch. I don't like writint poems since no one even cared to listen. I gave up on writing last summer since I found no reason, no inspiration.

"Why not?" Jaimee whined, looking up with a pout.

"Because I don't want to." I retort, gripping on my fork even stronger. I'm really getting annoyed when people push me to do somwthing I don't want to do.

"But-"

"Jaimee, she has had enough." Rachel stops the chatter before it got on bad terms.

Not that I hated Jaimee, she was just annoying and acted like she'll get everything. She's just caring that's why I keep my friendship with her.

Lunch was quiet until I noticed a pair of eyes looking at me. Dani. She looks even more pissed than earlier. What now?

After lunch it was just a few periods which I didn't pay attention to. It just went on and on, basically like what happens everyday. It's basically like a routein.

After classes Rachel and I went to my house since I didn't feel like going to her's. She had a car though, so it was easier to travel. Her mother didn't mind her staying over at my place, since  she was busy and had a date. Rachel's mother was actually divorce from her husband and it currently dating other men.

When we were at my place, we sat our bags down in my room. We stopped by Starbucks and a supermarket before coming here so we would have snacks. I personally wanted to pay, but her mother beat me to it.

"So, are you going to write a poem?"
