I pushed the glass door open and I smiled at the hostess behind the desk, I told her my name and took a seat on the leather seats to wait for my turn. I had the afternoon off because the teacher gave it to us to read a book in the library and do some researches, but, of course, I ditched. I took that as an opportunity to go get my eyebrows done for Friday since I had extra time. Kenzie went out with Michael, so, I found myself alone.

My gaze traveled from my phone screen to the door when I heard a very familiar high-pitched tone, I wanted to roll my eyes because this girl is always sticking to my ass wherever I go. Her yellowish green eyes met mine and she sent me a dirty look before taking a seat few seats far from me. I've never hated someone in my life like I hate Madison. She's someone who is so pampered and want everyone to be her slave. She hates when someone refuse to do whatever she wants him to do, or when she doesn't reach or get what she wants. Her parents educated her in a very bad way and it's affecting her entourage so much. That's the point, she hates me because I prevented her from getting Luke fall in her nasty trap. She hates me because Ashton decided to date me, I know that she had the biggest crush on him last year. She's just a whore who only likes to sleep with every hot guy under our school roof.

Yet, having someone around you who hates you so much to just ruin every possible chance for you to be happy is so uncomfortable and unpleasant. I'm so anxious for what could happen next. I wanted to tell her that I know everything. She needs to apologize because people's feelings aren't some freaking game that her parents brought it from Japan. We are humans and we don't deserve someone making fun of us or ruining our lives just because they're not getting what they want. Life is all about challenges and goals and if we ever fail, we need to accept the fact that some things are not meant to be ours. That's exactly the problem of rich people, they think that the world revolves around them. I'm sick of this fucked up mentality.

"When are you going to grow some balls and tell the truth?" I spoke getting her attention, she chuckled. "Do I look like I have balls?" I rolled my eyes at how annoying she's acting and replied anyways. "You know exactly what I'm talking about."

"Excuse me?" She dumbly asked raising an eyebrow and I sighed, "I heard that you made up the whole thing just to make me believe that Luke hates me." She laughed covering her mouth with her hands and the sound disgusted me.

"Do you regret dumping him that much?" She flipped her bleached hair behind her shoulders and crossed one leg over the other giving me the most challenging look ever. To be honest, I do regret what I did, because if not I would be ten times more happy then I am now. Although, dating Ashton isn't the worst thing ever that I've decided because he's sweet and caring. He somehow made me forget about Luke and all the shit that comes with him, but I think if I've never acted like a dumb bitch the other day I would be already with Luke and I wouldn't turn a strong friendship to a relationship and risk it, because I'm sure that the day when I'm going to break up with Ashton, we would never ever stay best friends.

"I'm dating Ashton now, if I wanted to have him back, I would've broken up with Ash and sort things out with Luke." I honestly said and she crossed her arms over her chest eyeing me up and down, her eyebrows knitted together and she had an angry expression on her face.

"I'm not going to apologize to anyone, especially you. Who even are you?" I chuckled dryly shaking my head, before locking my eyes with hers in the most challenging way. I've never been so confident in my life. I'm quite proud.

"I am Lauren Keller, some random girl who happens to drive you nuts because you can't get something you'd like to have for the first time in your life." I hated talking about Luke like he's an object but that's the case for her. She's treating him like an object and she's beating herself up to get it. "I need to remind you that he's not some toy that you can purchase online, he has feelings and choices." Her face turned red from anger and I can feel her blood boiling under her pale skin.

"Enjoy the popularity Keller, you don't even know what's waiting for you." She sent me an intense glare before grabbing her bag furiously and storming off fuming like a bull in a battle. I laughed at how pissed she looked and I was proud. I wish that Kenzie was here to see the enjoyable sight. She might have burst into laughter in her face without any respect. I knew that Madison couldn't handle what her cousin has been through last year.

I went after finishing what I had in the salon to Ashton's and we were home alone doing nothing but laying on the couch and eating pop corn. We played drums for a little bit and danced on old rock n' roll music and stalked a lot of people on Instagram, until we started making out. I loved peaceful moments like that when no one is around, we're just enjoying each other's presence. Our lips were sealed in the best way, moving synchronously with so much passion. He had his hand on my cheek and my arms were on his shoulders, my fingers gently playing with his hair. My legs were on his both sides, straddling him. Inside, mixed feelings and emotions were torturing me. When I'm around him, I feel happy. I'm not even regretting being with him, and I'm just hoping that this would work out and we'll never have to split up because of some horrible causes, I don't wanna loose him.

I panted pulling out of the kiss and he started attacking my jaw with wet kisses, I tugged at his hair biting my lip. His cold fingers went under my shirt and started lifting it up and I was hesitated at first but then I gave up. He rubbed my back and his touch caused goosebumps to raise on my arms and he smirked starting to kiss me again. He knew exactly what he's doing to me. His fingers kept teasing my back skin then, they went up to unhook my bra. There, I realized that I'm not quite ready for what will be coming next especially with the huge bulge under me. I felt so uncomfortable and I had to stop this.

"Ash.." I breathed trying to get his attention but he kept sucking the skin of my neck. I placed my hands on his biceps, "Ashton, please, stop." He pulled away with flushed cheeks looking at me with furrowed eyebrows. I bit my lip not really finding the right words, I felt so awkward.

"I don't wanna rush things out, please." I managed to say avoiding his gaze and he kept frowning. "Lauren, I can't understand. We're officially together, why are you acting this way?" He seemed irritated especially when he slightly rolled his eyes at me. I got up from his lap and sat next to him on the couch. I didn't understand why he's acting this way. I felt like he's only with me for sex. I can't believe he's acting like a cocky asshole.

"Are you obliging me to have sex with you?" I asked raising my eyebrow, "No, I'm certainly not, but, your actions make me think that you don't trust me fully."

"Trust isn't only giving your body away. I hope that you'll get this through your head and stop throwing it in my face whenever you have the chance to." I scoffed getting up from the couch and putting on my boots quickly. He rubbed his face sighing and I really wanted to leave. I grabbed my bag and put on my jacket and I slammed the door shut going straight to my car to drive to my house.

Once I was in my room, I threw my bag on the floor and lied on my bed letting out a long sigh. I had so much feelings inside and I didn't know how to figure out everything. I was annoyed because I don't like being obliged to do something that I'm not convinced of. I was mad because I felt that he's only dating me so he can have sex. I was also nervous of what he's really thinking. I couldn't figure out if those were his real intentions or he just got carried away.

"Lauren! Don't you have some work to get done with?" I got interrupted by my mother standing in the middle of my room with a serious look and her hands on her hips. Great, I exactly needed this. I sighed sitting correctly on my bed. "I did them in the library." Of course, I'm lying. I had a shitload of homework that are waiting in my backpack.

"You're not studying anymore. Do you even care about your grades?" She said raising slightly her voice and I wasn't ready for this. "You're always hanging out somewhere with Ashton or Kenzie until late hours and you're just sleeping and watching those stupid shows on your laptop!" She added and I rolled my eyes at how irritating she's being. The least thing that I wanted to happen tonight is my mum yelling at me like this.

"Since when do we have a curfew?" I asked raising an eyebrow, I'm trying so hard to stay calm because I need to respect her. She's my mother. But, I'm feeling that my calmness level is decreasing every time she kept yelling.

"We don't have one. But, you need to care more about your studies and you can hang out and roll thumbs in the holidays." She kept yelling and yelling and I started to have a headache so I had to stop this mess. "Stop mum! I've had enough today! We'll talk tomorrow!" I got up from my recent spot locking my eyes with hers and she shook her head crossing her arms over her chest.

"No Lauren! I've had enough of you! I'm telling you, no more sleepovers at Kenzie's neither Ashton's and no more going out on school nights and weekends also." My eyes widened when I heard what she said and I can't even believe her. She can't be serious. She really did push my buttons.

"What the heck do you think you're doing?" I laughed nervously, trying to believe that she's only joking. She can't deprive me from sleeping at my best friends's house or my boyfriend's. "I'm trying to save your future! I'm not ready to pay thousand of dollars to get you in a great college okay? Only because you spent the whole year doing everything but studying!"

"You know what mum? Okay! Fucking okay! I'm so fucking done with you all people!" I pushed the door open and ran down the stairs to the door trying so hard not to cry. She kept yelling after me to come back but I ignored her. I hated her so much at that special moment. Why don't parents understand sometimes that we have enough problems to just cooperate with their fucking complaints. Our problems isn't the same as theirs, but, I'm so done.

Tears started rolling down my cheeks and I kept walking down the streets in the chilly evening air. The neighborhood was empty and looked like a desert. Everyone was under their blankets when I'm rooming the streets because my mum was acting like an annoying bitch. I don't wanna call her names but she just pushed the buttons. I sat cross-legged on a random bench on the sidewalk and I tried wiping my cheeks with my sweater sleeves. I don't wanna go back home. I can't go to Ashton's because I'm so upset. Kenzie's house is far away from here and I'll never get through some scary neighborhood to get to hers alone in the dark.

I suddenly felt a hand on shoulder and I jumped quickly from my spot with my hands on my chest. My heart was beating so fast and I wanted to scream, but, I was relieved when I met his eyes. I sighed but didn't know what to say. My lips parted but I couldn't pronounce anything. His blue eyes were full of meanings that I couldn't figure out yet.
