"I really don't want to go back to online schooling," I groan while opening the back door to let Jazzy go to the bathroom.

"HAHA! I don't have to deal with that because I already graduated!" Jack J brags.

"Shut up," I roll my eyes. "You still have to deal with college, though."

"When I go to collage," he corrects.

"Jack, you're not helping at all," Cameron chuckles.

"You really aren't," Taylor agrees.

"But Lexie," Cameron continues, "everyone has to deal with school. You actually kind of get it the better way- you can lay in bed while learning instead of being at school."

"Yeah, I guess," I frown. "That still doesn't make me want to do it, though."

"Well suck it up, buttercup," he winks. "We all had to deal with it, and now you do too."

(A/N: I don't do online schooling so I have no idea how this actually works lol)

"I'm going, I'm going," I defend while running up to my room and getting on
my laptop.

I log onto my account and then start up on the learning and the homework.

Surprisingly, I caught on pretty quickly and ended up learning almost all of the new things in about two hours.

Right now I'm trying to figure out my last four math problems. I understand how to figure them out, but I keep on getting the wrong answer-I checked with the answer key.

I grab my laptop and run downstairs and see Matt sitting on the couch. He's a grade above me so he should know how to do it!

"Matt, can you help me with this?" I beg while showing him my laptop

"I already forgot that," he laughs. "I learned that almost a year ago!"

"Ugh," I frown. "But I don't understand these last four problems!"

"Shawn's in your grade," he reminds me. "Just go up and ask him."

"Oh yeah!" I smile. I grab my laptop and then go and knock on Shawn's door.

"Hey," he grins while opening the door.

"Can you help me with a few math problems?" I ask. "I don't understand them and your in my grade so you might know how to do it."

"Sure," he agrees while gently taking my laptop from me and reading the first problem. "Do you have any notes to help?"

"Yeah, they're in my room," I explain.

We walk over to my room and then I sit on a bean bag and hand Shawn my notes.

"Okay, now let's see," he laughs while looking down at the problem.

Somehow half an hour later, my homework is untouched, and now Shawn and I are cuddling while watching Disney movies on my computer. My head is resting on his chest and his arms are wrapped around my waist.

I giggle as I watch one of the characters on Nemo shout about how one of the other characters made them ink.

After a few minutes, Shawn breaks the silence. "I miss this, Lexie."

I open my eyes, since I was falling asleep, and look up at him. "You miss what?"

"You. Us. I miss everything that we used to be," he blurts. "It's depressing not having you to hold, to know that if we're even seen in public together we'll get in serious trouble."

"Shawn, I miss you too. But you know how it is. We aren't allowed to date," I sigh.

"We can always secretly date," he adds quietly. "They wouldn't have to know-"

"I don't want us to be a secret. I want to be able to shout it out loud for the whole world to know," I shake my head. "We should just quit the record deal."

"Do you really want to do that?" Shawn questions me. "Just so we can date again?"

"Look, they already treat us like crap," I explain. "It looks like we have nothing to lose."

"Are you sure?" he asks worriedly.

"I'm positive," I confirm. "Do you want to leave now?"

"The sooner the better," Shawn grins.

"Okay, let me put a little bit of makeup on first-"

"Why?" he questions me. "You don't need any makeup. You're already beautiful enough."

"Shawn," I giggle, "I look like a living nightmare today. I'm just doing everyone around me a favor."

"You look fine!" he insists. "I will carry you out of this room like a bag of potatoes if you even go anywhere near your makeup."

"Look, I'll meet you downstairs," I exclaim while walking over to my makeup. "I'm just putting a little bit on."

"I warned you," Shawn smirks while running over to me.

"NO!" I laugh while darting away from him him. "Okay, okay, we can leave now and I won't wear makeup."

"You walk out first," he offers, but I can tell he's up to something.

"Are you afraid I'll lock you out of the room and possibly put on makeup," I ask deviously.

"Maybe," he chuckles. "Now let's go!"

I leave the room and then Shawn follows.

"Where are you guys going?" Nash asks.

"To the studio," I explain.

"Ugh, they all sound so mean though," he rolls his eyes. "Why are you going there?"

"They are," Shawn nods. "But we're going to try to get out of the record deal."

"Seriously?" Nash gasps.

"Yep," I grin. "We'll be back soon-it shouldn't take that long."

"Alright," he nods. "See ya'll later."

"Bye," Shawn waves before we go out to my car. "I'll drive."

"Okay," I thank him.

"What do you want to listen to?" he asks while pulling out of the driveway.

"I don't care," I shrug before an idea pops into my head. "WAIT! WE HAVE TO LISTEN TO ONE DIRECTION'S NEW ALBULM FOUR!"

"Alright," he laughs while i plug my phone into the car. A few seconds the first track,Steal My Girl, starts playing.

"YES MY JAM!!" I yell while turning the volume up.

"YOU'RE AS BAD AS NASH," Shawn groans, but he lets the music volume be.

***

When we arrive there, we park and then head to the studio.

"I'm happily excitedly scared," I admit.

"What?" Shawn chuckles. "That made no sense, but I think I see what you're saying."

"Yeah," I nod. "I'm just like internally freaking out. You see, on the outside I play it cool. On the inside, my stomach is doing flips."

"I'm a little nervous too," he agrees. "It's more of the fact that I'm nervous to see how Angela and Charles react when we tell them that."

"Right," I nod. "Like what if they freak out and through a piano at us!"

"Really, Lexie," Shawn laughs. "I really doubt they'd throw a piano at us."

"Well, they'd obviously have to roll it at us," I roll my eyes.

"Are Charles and Angela here?" I ask the security guard when we get to the door.

"Yes," he answers. "Do you want to see them?"

"Yes, please," Shawn replies. The guard mumbles a few words into his walkie talkie before nodding at us and opening the door.

We take the elevator up to the room and as soon as we step up to the door I freeze.

"What's wrong?" Shawn asks, looking very concerned.

"I-I'm just a bit scared," I stutter sheepishly. "I don't know. I'm afraid that they'll be mad at us, that our career will be over, that-"

"Lexie, it's all going to be alright," he slightly chuckles before wrapping his arms around me. "We don't have to quit if you don't want to."

I take a deep breath and then knock on the door. A few seconds later Angela answers the door, grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so glad you're here!" she exclaims while pulling us into the studio. "We have some news!"

"So do we," Shawn tells her. "But you can go first.

Charles walks up to us and then smiles while handing me a poster with a bunch of dates on it. "You two are going on tour!"
