Against All Odds (Lauren/You)

Chapter 2

I’ve been freaking out all day wondering if Dinah had given Lauren my note. I was pacing back and forth trying to figure out what I could do to pass the time. When all of a sudden my phone went off.

unknown number: i got your note. Meet me at the library by the mystery section in 15 minutes.

Y/n: okay see you then.

I went to my closet and grabbed my favorite pair of jeans and my lucky socks. I ran to my bathroom to fix my hair and make sure my makeup was perfect. My signature winged eyeliner, shaped eyebrows and some dark red lipstick. I grabbed my purse and ran out the door. The library is 5 minutes from my apartment complex so I was able to get their in no time. I patiently waited for Lauren to appear.

Lauren’s POV

Dinah had told me what y/n had told her but I had to hear it myself. I need to know that she’s really single. Not that I want to be with her or anything. I mean I barely even know her. She is really pretty though and that voice. Ooh man it gives me chills. I started to look through the books on the shelves when someone cleared their throat. I whipped around to see Y/n smirking at me, letting me know she knew she had startled me. I grabbed her hand and pulled her into the study room I had reserved for us. "Nice to see you too" she giggled. i began to fumble around in my head for the right words to say. "L...look I brought you here to tell you that I like you. I apologize for running off the other day. I was just taken by the whole "wifey" thing. I can't go through fighting for someones attention again." I avoided looking at her and tried to calm my nerves. "Lauren trust me I get it. Just so you know Hazel is my best friend, we are really close.  She started calling me wifey because every time I was over her house I would always clean up after her and make her snacks. That's just how we are with one another. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable though." Y/n’s hand came to rest on mine while she just looked at me waiting for me to talk. I got lost in her eyes just like I did the other day when we met causing my heart to flutter. I barely know her but I can tell that she was telling the truth. “I'm glad you told me. I should have let you explained right then and there. I think you are really cool and I would like to get to know you.” I held onto her gaze and bit my lip she smiled and I knew I made the right decision.

After Lauren and I met in the library we both decided that we want to get to know one another better but we should take things slow. So I came up with the 90 day plan. Just me and her getting to know one another, enjoying one anothers company for 90 days straight. At first she wasn't so sure if she wanted to go through with it. I mean 90 days is a long time, at the same time it’s just right. I told Lauren that if things don't work out that no matter what we'd still be friends. I'm just glad that she said yes! So starting tomorrow our 90 day journey begins.

You POV

Me and Hazel made our way to our favorite sushi restaurant that So Cal has to offer. We walked right in and headed straight to our favorite booth. “So come on bitch dish!” I picked up my menu and covered my face to ignore my best friend. “Y/n y/mn y/ln if you don’t spit it right now I swear I'm going to stab you in the eye with this chopstick!” I couldn’t help but laugh, Hazel wouldn’t hurt a fly and she knows for sure she can’t sound threatening. “There’s nothing to tell Haze we are just talking right now thats all.” “I call bullshit doll. You have been smiling like crazy ever since you guys agreed on this whole 90 day crap. So tell me everything and don’t leave out any details.” Like clockwork Tanya our waitress walked up to our booth and took our order and made small chit chat before walking to the back. “Here’s the deal she has a great sense of humor, she’s studying to be an art teacher and has only been in 3 really serious relationships. Happy now?” “Not really but I can tell that you aren’t giving anything else up quite yet. So when will I get to meet her?” I took a sip from my drink and took a look around the place. If things work out between Lauren and I, maybe I can bring her here. “Earth to y/n! Hello?!” I looked at Hazel, confusion plastered across my face “What is it?” “When can I meet Lauren?” “You can meet her when I know that this is really going somewhere.”

Me and Hazel were sitting in the student lounge just people watching and having a relaxing evening. There were a few other students in here either playing pool, cards or just hanging out but for the most part this is where all the gossip happened. “So will you help me plan out me and Lauren’s first unofficial date?” I have been trying to come up with the best way we me and Lauren can get to know one another without the pressures of an actual first date. We sat there for 30 minutes going over the list and ruling out things. “I think Lauren is going to have a great first unofficial date with you doll” Hazel pulled me into a hug. A girl with wavy brown hair a white crop top a plaid skirt and heels, walked up to our bean bags. “Are you talking about Lauren Jauregui?” “And you are?” She smiled a wicked smile “I'm Camila, Lauren’s ex.”

A/N: Yes Camz is here to start a little trouble. I'm not sure how long she will be around for but what I fo know is that she is not leaving without a fight. A drama filled chapter is coming up and then some fluff. Do you think Camz broke Lauren's heart? How will you react? What kind of drama is on the way? Let me know what you think. I'm sorry it's so short. I wrote this right before my college class of 2015! I missed being in school so much. I'll try to update as soon as possible. Thank you all for reading. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome. Have a great day/night. -Brie
