Sophia's point of view
I stood in front of my dresser, looking for something to wear to school today. I shrugged and then grabbed a pair of skinny khaki pants.
I pulled them on and then threw a plain white t-shirt over it. I put on my black and white varsity jacket and left it unbuttoned. I quickly laced on some all white converse high-tops and then I put a black snapback on.
I pulled my black backpack over one shoulder and then I made my way downstairs. I thanked Calum as he handed me some toast with grape jelly on it and he just nodded.
"You're trying out for basketball today?" He asked and I nodded. "You look like 2011 Michael." He told me and I laughed. "He used to dress like that."
"It's better than 2011 you." I said and he laughed loudly. "Kidding Cal, I love you and your style... now." I said and he just rolled his eyes at me.
"Go on Sophia, you'll be late if you keep talking to me." He told me and I nodded. I gave him a quick hug and then drank the glass of orange juice.
"Thanks Calum." I said and he just nodded. I went to rhe front door and then walked out, closing it behind me.
Makenna walked out of her house at the same time and then ran over to me. I looked at Makenna and smiled as I saw she was in a pair of skinny blue jeans and a tight, short sleeved white shirt.
"I'm going to stay to watch you try out for the team." She told me and I nodded. "You look like one of the populars." She told me and I laughed.
"But I'm not." I said and she held my hand. "I could never be one of them. They're so annoying." I said and she agreed.
"Can I wear your snapback?" She asked and I nodded. I took it off and then placed it on her head. "Now I look like you." She said and I laughed.
"You're such a dork." I said and she nodded, agreeing with me. We walked into the school and kids stared at us as we walked in.
"Boo." I said because I didn't like the attention. I went to my locker and then opened it to get my books out.
"I need to go to my locker and get my things, see you in class." She said and I nodded as she gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.
I closed my locker after I grabbed my books and then Kevin ran up to me. "Sophia, guess what?" He said and I hummed. "I got a date." He said and I nodded.
"That'd amazing Kev," I told him and smiled. "What girl is crazy enough to go out with you?" I asked and he told me the name of one of the popular girls. "Oh." I said. "She's really pretty, good going Kevin."
"We're going to the movies Wednesday night and after that, my house to chill." He said and we high-fived.
"It's better be to just chill." I said and he nodded. "Anyways, I'm trying out for the basketball team today." I said and he looked shocked.
"You play basketball?"
"No, I play with barbie dolls." I said and he laughed. "Yeah, I play basketball. It's my favorite sport." I told him.
"I want to go to watch you fail but Victor wants me at his house today." He said and I laughed.
"You have no faith in me, what a friend you are." I pouted and he chuckled. "How are those dweebs?" I asked and he laughed.
"They're good. I told them to come over with me to talk to you but they're like really guilty and intimidated by you now." He said and I rolled my eyes.
"I'm not scary." I said and the bell rang. "Anyways, I've got to get to class." He nodded and then we went to our classes.

When lunch came around, me and Makenna decided to just sit outside by a tree and listen to music while she read her book. She wanted to finish it before the end of this week.
I played music and then we shared the earphones. The song 'Madhouse' by Little Mix played and I hummed along as Makenna laid down on my lap.
I ran my hand through her hair and the people who saw us looked at us weirdly. We ignored them and then she sang quietly along to the song.
"Look at them," I heard an awfully familiar voice and I looked up. "Dyke!" Derrick shouted at me and I just flipped him off.
"Hasn't your daddy ever taught you that flipping people off is bad?" He asked and I tensed. "Oh wait, you didn't have one." He yelled.
Tears filled my eyes and I clenched my hands. "Ow," Makenna said and I let go of her hair immediately. Fuck, I forgot.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry," I said and she looked at me. "I-I forgot I had my hand in your hair. I'm so sorry Kenna. God, I'm such an idiot." I rambled and rubbed my hands on my face.
"Aww, she's crying!" He yelled. "Oh, I mean he! He's crying." People laughed and I just wiped my eyes.
"Don't cry Sophia, it's okay." Makenna told me and I felt her wrap her arms around me. "He's just some stupid boy. Don't let him get to you sweetie. Besides, it's fine. I'm fine."
"If you're gonna dress like a guy, why don't you act like one? Grow a pair." He yelled again and I grit my teeth.
"He's just upset because he can't get himself a real girlfriend." She said and I cracked a smile. "He's the equivalent to a pile of shit."
"Aww, he's crying. Is it because mummy and daddy didn't love you enough?" Derrick asked and I tried pulling away from Makenna.
"If you go and start a fight Sophia, you can't join the basketball team." She told me and I stopped. "In order to join, you can't get into and my fights."
I sighed and then nodded. I really wanted to be on the team so I just tried to calm myself down. "He-He brought up my dad." I said and she rubbed my back.
"I know. I can't believe he would do that." She told me and I buried my face in her neck. "He's a dick. It's okay."
"I-I don't even know my real dad." I said and she nodded. "And-And my mum loved me." I said and she continued rubbing my back.
"I know Sophia." She said. "Calm down, please Sophia. Please. You need to calm down." She told me and pulled away from me. "Breathe in, then breath out. Deep breaths Sophia." She said and I nodded.
I did as she said and after a while, I had my breathing steady and I had stopped crying. "There you go babe," she told me and I looked at her.
"Thank you." I said and she just nodded. The bell rang and I wiped my eyes. "We-We need to get to class." I told her and she nodded.
"Are you feeling alright now? Are you ready to get to class?" She asked me and I hesitated before I nodded.
"Yeah, I'm ready."

I cheered as I left the school's gymnasium and Makenna gave me a hug. "I got it. I'm on the team." I said she she gave me and quick kiss.
"That's so amazing." She told me and then we began to make our way back home. "I told you that you could do it." She said and I nodded.
"So I have basketball practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays and then I have a game in a few weeks on Saturday." I said, remembering what the coach told me. "Then I get my uniform on Wednesday."
"Then we have that song that's due soon too." Makenna said and I nodded. "I only practiced it a bit. I haven't had time for it." She told me and I agreed.
"I practiced 'Everything Has Changed' for awhile but then a lot started happening." She nodded and I ran a hand through my hair.
"I have to play basketball when I get home. I need to practice on my own a bit." I said and she put my snapback on my head again.
"You have a busy schedule now Ms. Clifford."
"It'll never be too busy for you Ms. Santana." I told her and we stopped in front of our houses. "Never."
"Are you sure about that?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I set my hands on waist and then I nodded.
"I'm positive about that." I said and pressed our foreheads against each other. "I'll never be too busy for you. You're my first priority. Always."
She chuckled and then smiled. She pressed a kiss against my lips and I kissed her back. I hummed and she ran a hand through my hair.
Since she was probably getting tired of standing on her tip-toes, I slid my hands down from her waist and picked her up. She wrapped her legs around my waist and I pushed her up so she was taller than me.
"Is that better?" I asked as I looked into her blue eyes. She nodded and smiled at me. "How about we go on another date soon? Just us two and something simple; netflix, pizza, music, cuddles." I said and she chuckled.
"I'd love that." She told me and I kissed her once again. "I really would." She told me against my lips and I smiled. I wad so lucky that she liked me back.
She bit down on my bottom lip softly and I hesitated before parting my lips a bit. She parted her lips aswell and then her soft tongue slipped into my mouth.
To anyone this would probably be very inappropriate. Two fourteen year old girls making out infront of two houses. The fact I had my hands on her ass and her hands were in my hair probably didn't help at all either.
I tilted my head back some more and she giggled a bit after she pulled away. "You taste like mint." She told me and I chuckled.
"A girl in the gymnasium gave me some mint gum." I told her and she nodded. "Are we going to end up making out again or should we head into our houses?" I asked and she pressed her lips against mine again as my eyes fluttered shut.
That answers my question.
I laughed softly and this time it was me who was biting down on her bottom lip, silently asking her to part them.
Suddenly, a loud horn sounded and we snapped our eyes opened. I saw a familiar red car and then glared. He showed us his phone screen and then he laughed as he drove off.
That piece of shit took photos of us making out.
"What happened? What did he do?" She asked me and I looked at her. "Why did he show his phone to us?"
"He took pictures."
"He-He what?" She panicked. "My mum can't see those and neither can the internet or else everything is ruined. Then the school, oh my god I'll get kicked out of ballet because the teacher is a big follower of God." She panicked and I looked at her.
"Hey hey hey, it's okay Makenna. He's not going to post those pictures on the internet. It's not going to happen. You're okay. You won't get kicked out of ballet and our parents won't lose their reputations. It's okay." I told her.
"Are you sure?" She asked in such a small and hopeful voice. She sounded so worried and so scared. I didn't like it.
"Yes. It's okay Makenna. He'll just blackmail us. He wouldn't actually post those pictures or send then to anyone." I said and she nodded.
"I-I have to get home." She said and I set her down. "I'll talk to you later Sophia." She said and kissed my cheek.
"Talk to you later Kenna." I said and she ran to her house. I made my way to my house and then Calum looked at me expectingly. "What?"
"Did you make the team?"
"Oh," I said, pretending to sound sad as I set my bag on the floor. Suddenly, his smiled dropped and then I smiled brightly. "Duh." I said and he have me a playful glare.
"Don't play with my feelings like that sweetie." He said and then pulled me into a hug. "That's so great though Sophia. I know how much you love basketball. I can't wait to see you play a game."
"Practices are on Tuesdays and Thursdays." I said excited and he smiled. "I get my uniform soon too. God, I can't wait. Black and red go so swell together."
"They do." He told me and grabbed my arm. "Oh my god we need to talk. Michael, I'll be back in like twenty minutes."
He grabbed my hand and then took me up to his room. He locked, and closed, his door and in sat on his bed. "What's up?" I asked confused at his sudden outburst.
"Your lips are so swollen."
"You're limping." I pointed out and he set his hands on his lips. "I'll tell you what's going on between me and Kenna when you tell me what's going on between you and Michael."
I stood up and set my hands on my hips too. "He hurt you and yet you're all cuddled up with him? Calum, I'm no expert at relationships but I have common sense. You don't crawl back to the people who hurt you and lead you on." I scolded.
"Sophia, you'll understand when you're older. This is something you need to experience on before you can give advice on." Calum said. "Besides, he didn't hurt me. He just... he lead me on and it was my own fault for getting my hopes up."
I bit my tongue to keep from scolding him some more like a mother to a reckless son. I didn't want to engage in an argument over something that I have no say or opinion in.
"Fine." I said. "If he hurts you again, don't come crying to me. I'm telling you he'll hurt you again and you can't seek happiness in someone who had hurt you. They'll only hurt you again." I said and he told me that it wasn't going told happen.
"Now, explain, your lips are swollen." He told me and I blushed. "If swear to god if you didn't something rated R-"
"No, of course not." I said and he rose an eyebrow at me. "N-No. I can't. Not yet." I said and he nodded
"You made out?"
"The farthest we've gone, promise," I said and he nodded. "And we may or may not have done it for for a bit earlier." I said and he nodded.
"At least you're not sucking dick." He said happily and I scrunched my nose up in disgust. "Making out better be the farthest you guys ever go until you're at least eighteen."
"It will." I said and he nodded. "Now, cuddle?" I asked because we haven't cuddled in awhile.
"Nah, I'm gonna go cuddle Michael." He said and then opened the door, leaving me here all alone and heartbroken.
"Fine! I'll cuddle your bandmate! How would that make you feel?" I yelled and went to Luke's room.
"That's cool! Don't get herpes from him!"
"Bitch." I muttered and jumped on Luke's bed beside him. "Cuddle?" I asked the blonde and he chuckled. He nodded and opened his arms.
"What're you doing?" I asked him as I saw he had a journal on his lap. I wrapped my arms around his upper body and he wrapped an arm around me.
"Nothing." He said and then closed his journal. "I was just writing." He told me and I looked at him. "Anyways, did you make the team?"
"Damn right I did." And he smiled as he rubbed my arm. He pulled his phone out and then logged into twitter.
"Let's inform the fans that our little girl got on to her school's basketball team." He said and I nodded as I laughed a bit.
He started started a video and it was quite for awhile. "Sophia got on the school's basketball team!" He yelled. "Ahh!" He yelled into the camera.
"Ahh!" I copied, looking and we him as he was on some drug. He posted the video and I laughed as people replied to it.
"What'chu doing looking at boobs mister Luke Hemmings?" I asked as I took his phone. He laughed and then took it back.
"Okay one, I'm eighteen, almost nineteen, I can look at boobs. Two, you're fourteen so you're the one not allowed to look boobs yet. Three, I've seen boobs before. And finally, four, that's my face on a really overweight man in a bra." He said and I looked at the picture.
"Oh my gosh." I said and laughed. He laughed too and then continued scrolling through his twitter. "Oh, and I can look at boobs. I have my own if you were not aware." I said.
"You know what I mean." He said and rolled his eyes. I nodded and then we laughed a bit.
'OH Y GOF LUJE'
"Who's that?" I asked as a text popped up. He shrugged and then deleted the notification. "Luke, what if it was important?"
"She probably just got Jalex feels." He told me and I laughed. "I'll always happens. It's nothing." He said and then turned his phone off.
"I'm tired Luke." I said and yawned as he ran a hand through my hair. "I'd cuddle Ashton if he was here but he's on that interview coming out with his relationship to your fanbase." I said. "I'm sorry for bothering you."
"It's okay darling. If you want to cuddle and the couple are too preoccupied with each other, you could always cuddle me." He told me and I smiled.
"Now go to sleep if you're tired. School is tiring." He told me and I nodded as I nuzzled my head into his chest. He shifted so I was in his arms and then her kissed my head
"Fuck... I can't have her leave." He mumbled before I fell asleep.
