Famous (Lisa/You/Lauren Cimorelli)

Chapter 6 - Exposed

Narrator's POV

"Normani Kordei fucking Hamilton," Y/N's voice boomed out as she made her way to her friend leaning against the lockers.

It was early in the morning. Classes hadn't started yet so the hallways were still full of students.

And that just got a lot of people's attention.

Normani paused talking at the sound of her name and turned to look at Y/N. "Girl, chill. What's up?"

"What's up?" Y/N repeated with a laugh. She pulled out her phone and showed the girl the video that was sent to her class group chat last night. It was exactly the video that she saw Normani recording live the other day. "What the fuck is this?"

"Pff, I wouldn't know. What's that?" The phone was literally shoved into her face so she pulled back a little till she can see what's on the screen. "Oh, that. I've seen the video too. I don't know how to answer your question though."

"Are you being for real right now?" Y/N scoffed, clearly pissed off.

"Yeah. What do you mean by that?" Normani asked innocently before fake-gasping. "Wait, are you suggesting that I've filmed it and shared it with everyone or are you saying that I'm one of the bullies?"

All the faces in the video were blurred. It was to keep her friends' identities safe, and so far, nobody's been able to figure out who's who yet. The only clear thing was that the person getting bullied in the video was a Cimorelli. And by the look of the girl's appearance, most people have figured out that it's Lauren.

"You know what the fuck you did," Y/N said through gritted teeth as she took another intimidating step forward. "Why would you do that? What would you even get out of this?"

Normani put a hand on Y/N shoulder to make her back off again. "You're just causing a scene right now. Calm down."

The Y/E/C-eyed girl looked around her and saw that indeed, everyone was looking at them right now. "Just delete that fucking video and make sure it disappears off the surface of earth."

"Right, cause I can just force everyone to delete the video from their phone too," Normani said with an eye roll. "Y/N, don't be ridiculous. The whole school has seen the video already. It's no big deal."

"You..." Y/N closed in on the dark-skinned girl again and peers around them started chanting for them to fight.

Ally, who Normani was originally talking to before she got interrupted, finally stepped in. She gently pushed the Y/E/C-eyed girl away. "You should really calm down, Y/N. You don't even have proof that Mani was the one who filmed it and shared it with everyone."

"My eyes are proof. I saw her record that thing go down with my own eyes."

Normani just scoffed. "Try something more materialistic."

"Are you serious right now?"

"I don't know why you're making such a big deal out of it. You don't even know her. And it's not like the video has caused anyone harm," the dark-skinned girl shrugged nonchalantly.

Suddenly, the crowd's attention got shifted away from them to the person walking through the entrance. "That's Lauren Cimorelli," someone yelled out as if the crowd was blind and had to be informed about that.

Everyone immediately started whispering among themselves as they pointed fingers at her, making it even more obvious that it's about her.

She knew there was a consequence for not listening to that stupid threat. She just didn't think it'd be this. Lauren looked around frantically. She felt like everyone was making fun of her again. Feeling highly uncomfortable and self-conscious, she ran to the restroom to hide herself.
