I need to focus. We can't afford to loose.

-Lana's POV-


I get ready for school as Charlie comes in.
"Lanaaaa...?" She smiles.
"What do you want?"
"I was thinking about something last night, and I have this style that I wanna try out on you...."
I sigh and look at her.
"Fine then, for one time." I hold up a finger.
She smiles bright and runs away to get her stuff.
When she comes back I gulp at what she brought with her.
Then I sigh.
"Go ahead."
"It's going to be girly though, just saying."
"Just do it, for one time."
She smiles and begins to work on me.
After 30 minutes she's done and I look at what she has done.
"Okay, This is only for one day." I point my finger at her.
She smiles at me.
"We'll see." she smirks at me.
She walks away and I sigh as I look in the mirror again.
Humiliating.
I grab the bag and throw it over my shoulder before going after Charlie...


When we walk into the school, basically all the kids stare at me.
I always wear black. Pink isn't black.
This is way too far out of my comfort zone.
I sigh as I say goodbye to Charlie and walk to my math class.
I see that everyone already took there seats and see that the chair next to Calum is the only free one.
How unpredictable.
Just when I sit down the bell rings.
Just. On. Time.
I grab my books as the teacher begins to talk.
"Never thought you would be this desperate." Calum whispers.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" I whisper back.
"Trying to look like McKenzie to get my attention."
I roll my eyes.
"Please, that fairy little slut is the last one that I want to look like. Charlie did this."
"Sure thing sweetheart."
I roll my eyes again and pay attention to the teacher.


When we have break I walk to the tree where we usually sit.
"Hey." I sit down under the tree.
"Hey." Dylan smiles and sits next to me.
He gives me a kiss on my nose and I smile.
"So, it's almost Christmas, anything you'd like to have?" He asks.
"Nah.. I have you anyway." I smirk.
"Awh." He smiles and kisses me softly..



-Calum's POV-


"Ya know, you don't need the shades to check Lana out." Ashton comments.
I wake up from my daydream, which was maybe about Lana, but that's irrelevant.
"What?" I ask.
"You don't need the shades to check Lana out."
"I'm not checking her out."
"That's why your wearing sunglasses when the sun isn't even shining."
"I'm not checking her out."
"Sure thing Romeo."
I take my sunglasses off and glare at him.
"I have Kenzie, I don't need that slut." I spat.
"You gotta admit that she looks cute in those clothes." Luke joins the conversation.
Ashton nods his head.
"You're perverts." I say.
"At least we don't need the shades to check her out." Luke laughs.
"I wasn't checking her out." I protest.
"So you don't like her? Not at all?" Ashton asks.
"No, I don't."
"Of course he doesn't, he has Mckenzie." Luke smirks.
"Indeed." I say, even though I know he's sarcastic.
Ashton shrugs.
"If you say so."
I shake my head a little.
I really Mckenzie, even though I gotta admit that Lana doesn't look that bad either.
"Lunch's over, lets go." Ashton slaps my shoulder and we stand up.
Only 3 classes and practice. Only 3 and practice.
You'll be done in no time...



-Lana's POV-


I'm in my Chemistry class when suddenly Kenzie walks in.
"Where did you go?" I whisper when she takes her seat next to me.
"Family emergency." She explains.
I nod my head.
"Hey, do you want to come with me to practice after school?" She asks.
"What kind of practice?"
"Well, Cal asked me if I wanted to come to his football practice.. But I don't wanna stand there alone ya know?"
I sigh, already knowing my answer.
"Please?" She adds.
I sigh again.
"Fine. What's your last class?"
"English."
"Which classroom."
"C221."
"Okay, just wait there, I'll be there ASAP."
She smiles and nods her head.
Honestly, I don't believe a word of it that she is afraid to stand alone there, but I said yes... Now I gotta do it too..


"So, are we going to Martini's later?" Dylan asks.
"I can't. I promised Kenzie that I would keep her company at practice."
"Which practice?"
"Calum's practice." I roll my eyes.
"Lana.. You gotta watch out, they're the rival gang.. They could do anything to you.. Especially when you're there alone with Kenzie..."
"Hey, it's okay, nothing's gonna happen." I smile when I see how worried he is about me.
"I know.. But still.."
"I'll watch out. I always do." I kiss him.
He sighs and nods his head.
"Okay, go then. But be back at 6."
"Yes dad." I smirk and turn around.
I hear him chuckle and smile.
Let's just survive this.


I walk to C221 and see Kenzie standing there.
"Helloooo." I greet her and she looks up.
"Hey Lana, ready?"
"I am if you are."
She nods her head and we walk to the football field.


When we arrive they're already warming up.
We sit on the nearest bench.
"Do you see Cal?" She asks, letting her eyes go over the field.
I look to and point at the right side.
"There." I answer.
She looks in the direction and smiles.
Ashton, Mike, Luke and Calum are all warming up together with the others.
"He looks handsome.." She dreams..
I begin to laugh and she blushes red.
"I said that out loud, didn't I?" She giggles.
I nod my head and let out another giggle.
"Don't worry." I shake my head.


We watch them for a while and suddenly Ashton notices us.
He smiles and waves.
I smile and wave back.
"Are you and Ashton friends?" Kenzie asks.
"No..."
"Then why did you smile at him?"
Busted...
"Because he smiled. I'm just being polite."
"You and being polite?"
"Yes. "
She giggles and I smile.



-Ashton's POV-


I see Lana and Mckenzie laugh and smile.
I feel a slap on my shoulder and turn around to see Cal.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"What's she doing here?." He points at Lana.
I shrug.
"How am I supposed to know?"
"I swear if you invited her.."
"I didn't, but I think your girlfriend Kenzie did." I defend myself.
"Fuck." He mutters.
"Why? Can't concentrate Hood?" I smirk.
"Of course I can, I never loose my focus." He shakes his head.
I smirk and nod my head.
"Sure."
He rolls his eyes and walks away.
I chuckle.
We'll see about that...



-Lana's POV-


We sit there quiet for a while, just watching practice.
"I gotta tell you something." She suddenly says.
"Shoot."
"I have a date with Calum tonight." She blushes a little.
"Fun."
"But I don't know where he's taking me so I don't know what to wear."
"Just go in something your always comfortable in. Ya know, casual but classy in case he decides to take you to a restaurant."
She nods her head and seems to think.
"I think I will go for that." She smiles.
I smile back.
We watch the practice for the rest in silence with sometimes a little conversation here an there.
When it's over and the guys go to shower we stand up.
"Thank you Lana, for staying, even though I know you were uncomfortable." She smiles as she hugs me.
I hesitate but hug her back.
"Yeah, sure, no problem." I smile.
"I gotta go, I promised I'd be back 6." I look at the time.
"Yeah sure, go ahead." She lets go of me and I walk away.
This wasn't that bad, mainly because I focused more on the grass than a working out Calum.


When I close the front door behind me Dylan walks out if the kitchen.
"How did it go?" He asks as he kisses me.
"Could've been worse." I shrug.
"Well, Martini's, or a movie and popcorn?" He smirks.
I smirk back and we walk upstairs.


We lay on his bed as we watch the movie that I chose.
"But if you just-" he begins again.
"Just watch the movie." I cut him off.
He silence for a few seconds.
"But if they-"
"Dylan."
"But they just-!"
"No Dylan."
He sighs and I smile.
"I just don't get it." He sighs.
"What?"
"Why people are always so stupid in movies! Why can't they just take normal choices!"
"Because then the movie would be boring."
He sighs and nods his head.
"Okay okay, you've got a point there." He admits.
I smile and kiss him in his cheek.
I snuggle into his chest as I slowly begin to fall asleep.


Maybe this day wasn't that bad...

Notes

Hey guys!


so I've been away for a while due issues with myself and I decided to take care of myself first ^-^. I've been in this special treatment resort/rehab thing where they have a whole program planned out for you and there was this no phone rule (which sucked at the beginning but was actually really nice at the end).


Anyway, I'm doing a lot better now, and I'll try uploading again ^-^.

Well, updates could have a little delay bc I have another test week next week and an essay, a project for art and a whole lotta homework to do bc I was gone for a week.



Anyway, if you read this far, respect.
I really hope that you liked this chapter!


Vote, comment and subscribe ^-^.
Until next time my friends <3
