Thanks for the reviews guys c: They mean a lot ^-^ Now, this chapter's going to have some drama cx I'm not the best at writing drama, so I'll do my best to make this entertaining. Read on ;D
Loren was speed walking down the halls, clutching her binder to her chest, trying to avoid every one's gaze. At the café, some paparazzi caught the four in the middle of an intense –Well, for Eddie and Adam it was intense- game of foosball. They didn't know until Adam caught one by a window, camera held to their face. They left as soon as possible, not wanting any more attention than they already get. Now the pictures were everywhere on the internet and most of Loren's school saw them. So the next day, everyone was watching her every move and some were whispering. Loren didn't like the attention, at all.
Once Loren got to her locker, she quickly pulled out her books, put headphones in her ears and practically ran to first period. She found her seat, next to Mels, and plopped down with a sigh.
"Can you believe this?" Mel asked, turning to her friend, "People have been staring at me and Adam all day."
Loren turned to her, "Yeah, same here. God, I hate it."
"I love it," Mel said, grinning. "It's not every day you get to be the center of attention, considering Adriana's the most popular girl in this school."
Loren shrugged, "She can have the attention. She's like a Goddess to half of the guys here."
Mel scoffed, "Lo, most of the guys here want to be with you now. Adriana's like, totally out of their heads."
"Yeah, they finally decide to notice me when I started dating Eddie," Loren said, rolling her eyes.
Mel shrugged, "C'mon Lo, I know a bunch of guys who wanted to be with you before you and Eddie were a thing."
Loren scoffed, "Name one."
Mel thought for a bit, and then her face broke out into a grin, "Cameron."
Loren rolled her eyes, "Oh please, he's used almost every girl he's been with. What makes you think that he didn't want to use me?"
Mel shrugged again, "I don't."
"Exactly," Loren said as she stood up straighter. Seconds later, their teacher walked in.
"Good morning class, now we're going to start this day with a test-"
Groans filled the room.
"I don't want to hear it. This is practice for the final exams coming up and God knows most of you need it," She said, rolling her eyes.
A couple of people chuckled while others slumped back into their seats as the teacher passed out the test.
-oOo-
Eddie sat on his piano, trying to write a new song and was bobbing his head slightly to the beat before writing a couple of this on the music sheet then placed his fingers back on the keys.
Before he could find another rhythm, he heard a knock on his door. His head turned to his door before he sighed and stood up, taking a couple steps and opening to see his dad, Max, standing there, a slight smile on his face.
"Hey pop!" Eddie said, grinning.
Max chuckled, "Hey Eddie."
Eddie stepped to the side, letting his dad through, "What are you doing here?"
Max shrugged, walking in, "We haven't spent so much time together with me handling MK and you with your music, so I figured we'd just hang out for a few minutes."
"I'd love that," Eddie said, shutting the door softy.
Max sat down on the couch while Eddie gathered the music sheets that were spread out on the coffee table.
"So, how's it going with Loren?" Max asked, leaning back.
"Good," Eddie said, walking back over to where his dad sat and plopped diwn next to him, "We went to the café yesterday with Mel and Adam, and played some foosball."
Max chuckled, "Yeah, kind of knew that. There are pictures of you four all over the internet."
Eddie groaned. He used to it, but Loren wasn't all that much. He knew how much she hated the attention and how judgmental people can be in high school.
"Great," He mumbled.
Max patted his back, "Well, you guys are the new 'It' couple, so, people are going to try and get as many photos as they can," He said.
Eddie nodded and rubbed his face with his hands, "Yeah, I know, it's just…Loren hates the attention. She use to be the girl that no one would give a second look at and now, when people see her, they do a double take and it makes her insecurities come out."
Max nodded, "Don't worry. Soon, another celebrity couple will come out and the media will focus on that. But for now, it's you and Loren."
Eddie nodded then stood up, "Yeah, well, do you want anything to drink?"
"Coffee's fine," Max said.
Eddie nodded and stalked off to the kitchen.

"Ugh, that test was so long," Mel groaned, leaning against the locker next to Loren's.
Loren lifted her eye brows, "It was a ten question test that only lasted fifteen minutes."
Mel nodded, "Exactly! All tests are too long. It doesn't make sense," She said, scrunching up her nose.
Loren laughed, "Well, maybe of you actually paid attention, then it won't be so hard or as long."
Mel waved her off, "No, that's you in this relationship."
Loren gave a breathless laugh before slamming her locker closed.
"Loren!"
Mel and Loren froze, not wanting to turn around.
"I know you heard me,"
Mel rolled her eyes and turned around and saw Adriana and a couple of her friends.
"What!" She snapped.
Adriana smirked, "I'm sorry but last time I checked, you aren't Loren."
"Loren doesn't want to talk to you. Neither do I," Mel growled.
Adriana rolled her eyes, "I think that Loren's choice, not yours."
Mel glared at her, "I'm her best friend. And I know she doesn't want to talk to you."
Mel turned back around and grabbed Loren's arm getting ready to drag her away when Adriana's voice stopped them again.
"Do you always boss her around? Like she's your dog?"
Loren clenched her fists and sharply turned around, "Shut up Adriana! Mel's right, I don't want to talk to you! So just do us both a favor and leave us alone!"
Adriana chuckled, knowing she got what she wanted, "But, you're talking to me now."
Loren glared at her with ice cold eyes, "And now I'm ending our little 'Conversation'."
"What does Eddie see in you? You're a lonely, boring teenager with no dad or a life, as well as your dorky friend," Adriana said, as they began to walk away.
Loren stopped, clenching her fist and had tears running down her face. Mel turned around, walked over to Adriana and simply slapped her across the face so hard that it would have knocked her down if Kim didn't catch her.
"Talk about Loren one more time, and you'll get more than just a slap." Mel growled, glaring down at her.
Adriana turned to her and glared back, "You're going to regret that."
Mel scoffed, "Really? Cause I feel pretty good."
Adriana scowled and stomped away with her friends in tow.
Mel walked back to Loren and brought her into a hug.
"I'm sorry, Lo." She whispered.
Loren nodded and weakly hugged her back, tears still running down her cheeks.
"Hey, how about we go home and have a movie day, yeah? We'll do homework after a couple of movie and I might sleep over if Lisa doesn't snap at me since it's a school night." Mel said, smiling sadly at her.
Loren pulled away and nodded, "Okay."
Mel's sad smile turned into a grin before she grabbed Loren's wrist and dragged her away, "Let's go!"
Loren smiled and gave out a small laugh at how hyper her friend was and let herself get dragged away to Mel's car.
I wrote this and didn't take one break! ;D Well, I took a 5 minute break to help put groceries away but still ^-^ Yeah, the drama scene wasn't, ya know, big or anything, but I promised some drama and I figured Adriana getting slapped would entertain some of you c; Reviews would be nice ^o^
Till next tim! ;D
