Rachel walked down the hallway and over to her locker. After what seemed like forever the day was finally over, but she wasn't really in the mood to go home. Maybe it was because she knew eventually Lauren and her would have to talk. Would have to get everything out, and let each other know what they were thinking. She did her combination and tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge.

"Not now," she said muttered leaning her head against the locker. She sighed in frustration and tried again, but it wouldn't budge.

"Need help," Rachel heard someone saying from behind her. She turned around knowing who the voice belonged to.

"Um..no thanks," Rachel said. She turned back around to her locker."I think I can manage." She tried again but got the same results.

"You get that from mom you know," Lauren said trying to make a conversation.

"What," Rachel asked turning to look at her.

"You're stubborn just like her," she said with small smile. She walked up to the locker and pulled on the handle. Then hit the locker and it flung open."When all else fails you've got to try the old fashion way."

"Thanks," Rachel said grabbing her bag and some books. She put the books in her bag and threw it over her shoulder. She started to walk but Lauren grabbed her arm stopping her."What?"

"Listen Rachel we need to talk," Lauren said making eye contact.

"Look Lauren," Rachel said adjusting the strap of her bag."I know I was a little harsh last night. More than I should of been. But that doesn't change what you did. I'm sorry." Lauren let go of Rachel's shoulder and they locked eyes for a minute. Then Rachel turned and started to walk away. Lauren watched her walk out of the doors wishing things were like they use to be. But she knew that was a far fetch. She sighed and went off towards her classroom.
