Lauren's POV:
I usually put on my headphone anywhere and everywhere, especially the detention room. After detention,my headphone was still on as usual,and I was listening to 'young,dumb,and broke' by Khalid,and was at the best part and was singing along.
"You always say I'm wrong,
I'm pretty sure I'm right,
What's fun about commitment
We've got a life to live..."
Suddenly,I felt a hand dragging the headphone from my head.
"What the..." I said but was interrupted by a cute smile from Andre.
Why is he smiling at me? Lauren,return the smile.
No! Don't smile just keep a straight face.
"Why are you using your voice to destroy the building? You have a terrible voice,a frog sounds better than you. " Andrew said.
"Shut the fuck up!"
"I won't shut up!" He yelled.
"Whatever,please move aside,I need to get going. I have band practice today. " I said eyeballing him.
"What! Are you in a band? Oh no! I really feel for your band. " Andre said dramatically touching his head and pacing up and down.
"Screw you..." I yelled.
I gave him a punch on the arm,while I was about to run,he caught my hair and dragged me back.
Why do I have such long hair?!
"You have classes today with me, REMEMBER?" He said emphasising on the 'remember'. "And there's no way you're leaving this place,not on my watch. " He said while gripping my hand.
"Let me go..."
"No way! You're just too rude,bossy,over confident,noisy,way too dull,and there is no way I'm gonna allow you go home,or go for rehearsal, without you learning.
Who the hell does he think he is to insult me in this way. I'm technically gonna walk out on him, but on a second thought,I'd rather stay with him. Sweet sweet revenge.
"Yo,you've got no right to say all those. Don't you ever insult me. You're nothing but a..."
"Oh shut up. "
"Okay,let's learn. " I said wearily. I couldn't believe I was actually giving up so easily.
We went into our empty class and asked me to bring out my script for history,and he laughed on seeing 'F'.
"Wow...your future looks promising,I see a really bright future coming your way. " He said laughing hysterically.
"Shut up,I didn't ask you if my future looks 'really promising'". I said doing the air quotes.
Andre then taught me a lot of things concerning history and he made me understand Abraham Lincoln was an American president,and not Gandhi. He's actually very intelligent and explained everything for me.
After the class:
"I knew all these things before,you shouldn't have wasted your time. " I said walking past him.
"I'll pass. "
I had only 10 minutes to 6:00pm,you know since I'm on a curfew. I didn't take my bike to school, Andre left me in school and went home in his car.
I never knew he had a car.
I started jogging out of the school compound towards my house when the idiot drove past me and splashed water on me.
"Oh you did not just do that?" I yelled running towards his car.
"I did. " He said and drove off and left me walking in the cold,quiet road.
~~~~~~~~~~~
When I got home,Leah was at my mom's garden tending the tomatoes.
"Who asked you to do it?" I asked.
"Just felt like. "
"What are you doing at my place,I thought you didn't want to talk about yourself and Logan?"
"Look, I am really sorry for acting that way. I just felt like not talking. We've broken up,but we're still friends. Please forgive..."
"Shut up, enough of the tears and emotional drama,you know I hate such. It's okay. You're forgiven..."
"Thank you,thank you...." These were Lauren's words as she hugged me...." Aren't you going to hug me? C'mon show some love. "
I grudgingly stretched out my arms to hug her,but I was happy I finally got my best friend back.
"My life is in a dilemma right now. " I said.
"What's wrong? Let's go to your room or Xander's gonna hear you. " Lauren said dragging me towards my room.
"It's Andre,he keeps ruining my life. He didn't let me go for my rehearsals today. " I said spilling it like I was drinking a hot cup of tea.
"Oh jeez.. the both of you behave like infants. You can start by acting nice to him. "
"Oh no...don't even say that. "
"Look Lauren,young love can start with a little ' nice to meet you,howdy do?'. Lauren said a little accent to her voice trying to sound like a cowboy.
"Whatever,your advice is LAME. " I said emphasising on the'lame'.
I escorted Lauren out of the house and when I finally got in,Mom and Dad were in the sitting room,then came the big question from God knows where.
"Lauren," Dad began.
Strange,dad hardly calls my name,unless he wants to ask a serious question.
"Have you apologised to Andre yet?"
"Nope,I don't want to. I told you already that I wasn't going to apologise to that piece of..."
"Lauren,shut up,you're gonna apologise to him,or else,I wouldn't be able to sign that contract with his parents. Do you love me?"
Dad asked placing his hands on my shoulders.
"I do dad. "
"Then if you really claim you do, apologise..."
"All you ever care about is yourself,your money,your life. You are always talking money, money, money,have you ever asked me what my problem is with this guy?". I yelled letting every Dick and Harry know I was mad.
I ran upstairs and closed my door.
"Get back here. Right now! " Dad shouted.
I shouted from my room door:
"Dad,you're a loser and will always be one. "
