This is a whole new story, very different from the show. Loren, Melissa, Eddie and Ian go all to the same school and they're all eighteen. Trent did leave Nora and Loren but Loren's not weak because of it. Katy didn't die, she's very much alive. You'll find the rest out while reading the story. I hope you like story number nine.
Loren's pov
"You're dating who?!", I exclaim shocked. "Lo, it's the third time you've said that.", Melissa responds. "I know, I just can't believe it." "What's wrong with it? He's sexy and he's popular." "And he's a jerk!", I exclaim. "Eddie is not a jerk, he's just kind of a bad boy and I like that." "Mel, I don't want him breaking your heart." "He won't, Lo. Trust me, please?", Melissa begs of me. I sigh, "How can I? He's just such an a—" Melissa cuts me off, "He's my boyfriend, Lo. Start acting nice to him." I crunch my nose at the thought, "I don't like acting nice to him." "Then you'll have to learn to like it." I groan, "Only because it's you asking me." She squeals and hugs me, "Thanks Lo! Have I ever told you I loved you?" I chuckle. "So you're coming with us this afternoon?" "Yeah...", I say, not really paying attention to what she's saying. But then I realise that I have no idea what she's talking about, "Wait what?" "Eddie and I are going to the movie this afternoon." I raise my eyebrows at her, "So?" "I'm getting there." "Just tell me, Mel." "Eddie's bringing his best friend Ian so you have to be his date.", she rambles. "What?! Melissa Sanders, how could you?!", I exclaim angrily. "Maybe it isn't so bad?", she responds with a high pitched voice. "You know how much I hate Eddie and his group of populars.", I respond angrily. "Pleeeease, do this for me? If you don't do this Eddie will invite Chloe to go with us and Chloe always flirts with Eddie.", she begs me. I let out a deep sigh. Then I say with a groan, "Okay. I'll do it. But you'll owe me big time." She queals, "Thank you, thank you, thank you sooooooo much!" "But if Ian tries something, I won't be nice.", I warn her. "I'll tell him you're a blackbelt. We have to get dressed not though or we'll be late." After letting out another groan, I walk up the stairs to get dressed as she just suggested. So, this is the deal with Eddie and I. I really hate him! He thinks he's better than everyone else and I absolutely hate it. Every time I see him I say something mean to him but now he's dating Melissa so I have to be nice. I still can't believe she's dating him! I mean, how did that happen?! One time the populars invited me to sit with them but I rejected. I really don't want to be like them.
Melissa and I finish getting dressed and I think we look great. Melissa's wearing a pink skirt and a black tight one shoulder top with pink pumps underneath it. Her hair is styled an her make-up is light. I'm wearing ripped denim shorts and above it a red halter top which exposes part of my breasts. My hair's styled too and I'm wearing red feather earrings. I'm wearing high red vlados and my make-up is smoky. "Are you ready?", she asks. "If I have too." I put on some red strawberry lipgloss while we walk downstairs and when we are there Melissa opens the door. Eddie is standing in front of it, smirking at me. He kisses Melissa passionate and it disgusts me. Ian is standing behind Eddie and they both walk in. "Hey Loren, always good to see you.", Eddie says with another smirk on his face. "Duran.", I respond with a scoff. We walk out of my house and Ian walks closer to me. "Hey Lo—", he starts but I immediately cut him off. "Just keep walking." Eddie and Melissa get into his car and I feel like hitting something when I see that I have to be alone with Ian in his car. Can this day get any worse? I get into Ian's car and he gets in too. "So, Loren." "Which movie are we going to see?", I ask trying to stop him from making a sexist remark. He shrugs, "I don't know, Eddie picked it." I scoff, "Well, that's not a good thing." "So what kind of movies do you like? Romantic movies right?" "Sometimes but I prefer scary movies." A smirk appears on his face, "So you can jump into my arms?" I sigh, "It was going so well and you just had to make that remark." "Can't help it babe, you're just too sexy." I sigh, this is going to be a long movie.
Melissa's pov
Eddie and I walk into the hall and sit down in the row on the back. Loren wants to sit next to me but Ian pulls her two rows underneath us. Loren shoots me a glare and I know I'm going to get a speech from her. "So, how did Loren react to us dating?", Eddie asks me with a smirk visible on his face. "She…ehm...she freaked out. , I respond with a frown at the memory of Loren's response. Eddie laughs and I look at him with a judging look. "You like that, don't you?" "Kinda, did you film her reaction for me?", he says as he laughs. I playfully hit him, "NO! Of course not, you're so mean." The movie starts and Eddie puts his arm around me. I put my head on his chest and see that he picked a scary movie. He starts making out with me and somewhere at the end of the movie I pull back and look at Loren. Ian keeps trying to put his arm around her shoulders and Loren keeps pushing him away. When the movie ends we wait for Loren and Ian outside. Eddie's arm is around my shoulders when Loren and Ian walk out. "Shall we go to the café?", I propose but Loren immediately answers with a loud 'no'. "Come on Lo, it will be fun.", I beg her. "Melissa, please, no.", she begs right back at me. "Just come with us, Tate." Loren sighs, realising that there's no way out of this, "Fine but I'm not staying long."
Loren's pov
We walk into the café and I sit down next to Melissa. Eddie sits down next to Melissa and unfortunately Ian sits down next to me. Eddie wraps his arm around Melissa and Ian wraps his arm around me. I let him this time. "So, Loren, you're a blackbelt?", Eddie asks me. "I wouldn't mind getting laid by you.", Ian says with a smirk and then chuckles. I shoot him a glare, "Really because I'd love to do it right now." "Chill Lo, don't kill him yet.", Melissa says. "Well, I'm a kickboxer.", Eddie states changing back to the original subject. "Really? So you know a little fighting too?", I ask suprised. He shrugs, "Yeah, kinda." Melissa starts squealing, "Jee, you guys have something in common!" While Melissa is squealing Eddie and Ian smile but I'm just looking at her like she's crazy. I really love her but sometimes she's just too weird. "Are you done, Mel?", I ask with a sigh. "No! I'm so happy. You guys will finally be nice to each other now. At that, I can see Eddie's eyes shift to me. I look into them for a second. "I wouldn't count on it, Mel." "Come on, Tate. You know you can be nice." I look at Eddie and I see him winking at me when Ian and Melissa can't see it. I must have imagined it, right? Yeah, that's it. "Ehm, I'm going home.", I say. "Are you going already? Our food isn't even here yet.", Melissa whines with a pout on her face. "I…ehm…I am going to make some homework." "But you never make your homework.", Melissa responds with a frown. Well, now I am. I walk out and remember I don't have a car with me. I'm not really wearing the kinda clothes to go jogging so I start walking. I didn't really feel comfortable in the café anymore. Ian was constantly trying to flirt with me and maybe Eddie was too unless I imagined it. And Melissa was just acting like a lovesick puppy.
I'm driving my white Audi Q7 to school. I'm kinda rich but nobody really knows. I don't care who knows actually. Melissa got a ride from Eddie. I arrive and Melissa and Eddie walk up to me. Eddie's arm is around Melissa's shoulders and he puts his other arm around my shoulder. Inside I'm thinking are you kidding me right now? Is he just going to act like we suddenly like each other? And I'll tell him just that. "Are you serious right now?" "What do you mean?", he responds. "You're really going to act like we're okay?" "Come on Lo, don't be so stubborn.", Melissa jumps in. I get out of Eddie's grip and walk to my locker. I act stubborn whenever I want to. I look behind me for a second and see Melissa give Eddie a peck. She walks up to me and leans against the locker next to mine. "What?", I say with a sigh. "I don't want our friendship to end because I'm dating Eddie now." "That won't happen, okay? I promise. As long as you do too, we'll be fine." "I promise but if you don't want to hang out with Eddie we'll see each other so little." I sigh, "I'll hang out with you guys but that doesn't mean I'm going to act like I like him." "We're going to swim at his house after school. Are you coming too?", she asks me. My instincts scream no. They scream hell no. But I just promised Melissa that nothing was going yo change. "Yeah, I'll come. But not as Ian's date.", I respond with a sigh. "Okay, do we have to pick you up?" "No, just give me the address and I'll drive myself. That way you and Eddie have some alone time." "Lo, you know you're always welcome right? We don't mean to make you feel like a third wheel." "You don't, I just want to give you guys some time alone." Melissa and I lock arms and walk to class together. Our first class is gymnastics so I change into my pink sport bra and black shorts. Melissa's wearing pink shorts and a black spaghetti straps top. Eddie walks up to us and looks at me. It almost looks like he's checking me out. No, I must have imagined that too. "Hey sexy.", he says. Why is he looking at me while saying that? It was probably just a coincidence. I'm feeling a bit awkward so I run to the mats and do 4 cartwheels in a row. Gymnastics is a way to get my anger out but I'm still angry. I run again and do a transhipment and after that two cartwheels.
Then the teacher calls all of us over so I walk into his direction. When I arrive I suddenly feel a hand on my ass. I look to my right and see Ian standing there with his hand on my ass. I grab his arm and throw him on the ground. He gives a scream and suddenly everybody looks behind them. "What's going on?", the teacher asks. Melissa walks up to me and I just act like nothing happened. Ian stands up and rubs over his soar back. "Lo, what did you do?", Melissa asks in a whisper. "He deserved it.", I whisper back at her. "Is someone going to tell me what happened?" "Ian and I were just fooling around, he fell.", Eddie says, protecting me. Wait what? Eddie protects me? I shake it off. He probably just wants to look good in front of Melissa. "Can I continue, please?", the teacher asks with his eyebrows high in his hair. "Sure.", Eddie responds. The teacher continues and I walk closer to Eddie. "What the hell was that?", I hiss at him. "Don't worry, I did it for Ian. If you told the teacher the real reason, he would have been punished.", Eddie whispers back at me. "He deserves it.", I say. Eddie smirks and I walk back to Melissa. "So, today we're going into the rings. You have to do a salto in the rings. First try it without swinging. Loren, Eddie, could you please demonstrate what I mean?" Eddie and I walk to the rings and make a salto in the rings while they're hanging still. After that we climb onto a higher part and jump of it in the rings. We make the salto and I make another salto before landing to show Eddie a piece off my mind. I look at the group and they're looking shocked. "We…we have to do that?", Melissa asks shocked. "Not the last one Loren did.", the teacher tells her and gives me a pointed look. "But still, we have to do that?!", Melissa asks with no less shock. Eddie walks over to where she's standing, "Loren and I will help you babe." "Yeah, you can do it.", I agree. "I hope so.", Melissa responds with a pout.
I'm in my car on my way to Eddie's penthouse. I'm wearing a black two piece bikini with a red cover up dress over it. I made sure my make-up is waterproof but still heavy. I arrive and walk into the backyard. Eddie and Melissa get out of the pool and walk over to us. Melissa is wearing her red polka dot bikini. Drops of water roll down Eddie's sixpack and I hate to admit that he looks really sexy. I didn't notice because I was checking his body but I suddenly see that he's checking me out too. It kinda makes me uncomfortable. "Come on Lo, get into the pool.", Melissa says. I get out of my cover up to do so and I suddenly feel Eddie's strong arms around my body. He lifts me up and runs into the pool with me on his shoulder.
So, what do you guys think? Is Eddie flirting with Loren? Should I make this a story or should this stay a one shot?
