40: I Know Im Not the Only One

"Great work out today girls! Everyone go on to your dorms get freshened up and meet me in the student center. For our first girls and guys soccer rave!" Emily yelled clapping. Everyone in the locker room erupted in yells. Soon to be quieted by the coach.

"Before we go let's welcome our new freshman. Lauren Jauregui..." The locker room clapped for her and a few of the girls playfully pushed her around. "And Heather Washington!" Coach finished. Lauren and Heather smiled at each other.

"Hey Freshies...you guys are going to love the parties. But first you have to be our little caddies. Heather your sister wants you. And I want you Lauren." Joanna spoke smirking.

"Caddies?" Lauren asked confused.

"Yeah for a week you cater you my every need. If I want water you get me water. If I need you to wash my Jersey you wash my jersey. It's an initiation if you will. We can't haze people so we do this shit." The senior spoke looking at her.

"Are you going to be mean about it?" Lauren asked kind of annoyed.

"If you piss me off enough yeah. Listen Jauregui. You'll only make it if you're friends with me and Emily. Heather...Em's sister. She can only get you to the week shitty parties. You look like a partier. You have a dick. You like to fuck. You're single. Might as well suck it up and do what I ask." Joanna said in a low voice.

"First off....I don't "need" to party every day of the week. Second. I have a dick so what I also have a girlfriend. Third. Don't expect the best if you talk down to me like I'm a piece of shit on the bottom of your cleat." Lauren countered.

"You're a tough one. I like it. Don't fuck up kid." She pushed Lauren's shoulder before walking away.

"Hey Lauren. Sorry you got stuck with Joanna she's the only one who stepped up to take a freshman. Do you like sympathy?" Emily asked sitting beside Lauren.

"Not really. Why did no one step up because of my heart condition?" Lauren asked sighed.

"Yeah. Tell me if Joanna's to hard on you. Alright? I know you're friends with my sister and Id like to keep it that way. Joanna is a friendship ruiner. Relationships too. If she knows you have a girlfriend don't give her a name."

Lauren sighed and shook her head.

"For fuck sakes." She mumbled.

Lauren had never been so stressed with being a caddie to a senior. Every 15 minutes or so Joanna was texting or calling asking the girl for help. Lauren sat in her dorm Camila sitting with her helping her with math problems she was slightly confused on. Her phone rang and Lauren sighed.

"What now?!" Lauren answered annoyed.

"I need you to come get my cleats and clean them." She said through the phone.

"Joanna I need some time to fucking study. Can I do it later. Or can I just not do it at all?!" Lauren groaned.

"Soccer comes first. Come get my cleats. Bye." The line went dead and Lauren angrily threw her phone on the desk. She groaned and muttered swear words under her breath violently pulling on her sweats and shoes.

"Babe. Calm down. Just breathe." Camila said softly.

"I'm trying but I'm going to flunk out because of Joanna. This weeks has been the longest. THEN, today I found out if you don't do a good job you do it for a second week!" Lauren grumbled.

"Ok here. You go do that. I'll stay here and work on this. Then bring the cleats back I'll wash them then you can work on your homework ok?" Camila asked.

"Ok." Lauren mumbled sighing.

"Give me a kiss.." Camila said softly leaning up and accepting the kiss granted.
