Just Friends

New Girl

LAUREN'S POV

I see Sara and then a familiar face behind her.

"Lauren, Jay. Jay, Lauren," Sara introduces me to the familar face.

***
OMG, I can't do this anymore. This dumbass wants to fuck me after a few weeks of dating??

-RING RING-

Fuck, it's him.

Tears start to stream down my face, as I think of everything that will come out if I don't let him do it.

"I'm coming over in 5" Jay says through the phone and hangs up.

--
"Listen, you know I don't want to turn into the police. But if you don't do what I say, then I'll be forced" Jay says, as he puts his hand on my thigh.

I look down at his hand, trying to hold in my tears.

"I tried to be nice, babe. But c'mon, dealing drugs, stealing cars, dining and dashing? You didn't think that anybody woulf find out-" Jay asks.

I sigh, as I start to undress myself by taking off my hoodie to reveal my tank top.

-BELL RINGS-

"I'll see you at lunch then?" Sara asks, as we get up from our seats. "We sit outside at the picnic tables"

I nod my head," Sounds good. But do you know where," I look at my schedule on my phone," Online French 4 is?"

"That's outside by the trailers, I can walk you" Sara offers and faces Jay," I'll see you later" Jay exits the classroom.

"I don't know where that is either," I nervously chuckle. "Can you-"

"Yeah, yeah-no, of course," she stutters, agreeing.

She hasn't pointed at the fact that I'm still holding her hand...could it mean..?

SARA'S POV

When someone grabs your hand, you usually give them a look and tell them to let go. But I don't know..when Lauren grabbed my hand..I was fine with it..? Like it was natural.

"And if you walk down, there should be numbers on the front-of the trailers," I point to where the trailers were.

"404, French 4 Online," Lauren reads off her schedule.

"Yeah, the 400s should be down there," I shoot Lauren a quick smile.

"Thanks so much," she develops a smile.

"Yeah, anytime," I nod my head.

She nervously smiles, I nervously chuckle.

-TARDY BELL RINGS-

I was about to turn around to go to the double doors back inside, until I realized that Lauren was still holding onto my hand.

"Well I should be on my way to class-" I awkwardly break the silence after the tardy bell rang.

"Yeah-no, of course. I'm really sorry-you're late to..-"

"Spanish 3 Honors," I fill in her blank and chuckle. "And it's fine. I hate spanish anyways."

Lauren looks down at her hand, still holding onto mine,"..I didn't realize-sorry-"

"It's fine," I excuse her," I'll see you later, ok?"

She nods her head and smiles, as I turn around and proceed to walk to the double doors.
