Lauren Young

Lauren, a character in the My Two First Loves series, is a student and cheerleader at Eastridge High. Although she is first mentioned in Chapter 2, she makes her first appearance in Chapter 3.

Appearance
Lauren has dark brown eyes, long dark brown hair, and fair-to-tan skin. She wears a dark green blouse, multi-stranded necklaces and rings, and matching green nail polish.

Personality
Lauren can be a catty person, often snipping at you and other people she dislikes. She is a extremely talented cheerleader, but is also known for being lazy and relying on her natural abilities rather than her work ethic. She is also quite flirtatious, though not always successful in her romantic pursuits.

Adam and Todd
When you see Best Friend on your first day of school, she tells you what you had missed during summer vacation. According to her, Lauren --who is also part of the cheer squad-- switches between dating Adam and Todd. She is currently dating Adam but may go back to being single or dating Todd. This isn't brought up again, not even in Chapter 7, when Childhood Crush asks her about the last time someone has asked her out and she, as a result, (unsuccessfully) starts flirting with a waiter to prove that she can have anyone.

Best Friend
Best Friend mentions that during the summer, she and Lauren had gotten to know each other better. As Iris confirms, Lauren is interested in replacing you as vice-captain of the cheer squad as well as Best Friend's new best friend. Best Friend says she has a lot of personal growth to do.

Your Character
In Chapter 3, when the girls notice you talking to Bad Boy, she calls him "trash" and if you say that he didn't seem like a hardened criminal, she will call you blissfully naive. She calls your brain dysfunctional because you don't remember what happened with Bad Boy in your freshman year. If you tell her that your mother died back then, she will angrily ask how she was supposed to know that. If you instead say that it's none of her business, she will call you out on your temper. Either way, after Best Friend backs you up by telling Lauren to think before speaking, Lauren leaves.

In Chapter 18, a video of how you and Childhood Crush accidentally kiss during the party game "Suck 'n Blow" is made and uploaded, leading to Best Friend angrily confronting you two about it. This, in turn, leads to them breaking up and Best Friend telling you that she is done with you. Afterwards, Lauren comments with a smirk that "oops. I didn't think that video would go so... viral." This implies that she likely made and uploaded the video.

In Chapter 21, she complains about you being promoted to co-captain and asks the rest of the squad to back, but everyone else disagrees with her. At the end of the chapter, she deliberately doesn't give you a hand when you climb to the top of the pyramid even though you clearly said beforehand that everyone should make sure that nobody falls. This results in you losing your balance and falling. In the following chapter, after you have reached the ground, twisting your arm and crying out, she is happy and states that "the bigger they are, the harder they fall." She tries to put the blame on you, saying that you slipped because of your terrible depth perception, but Iris says she saw Lauren move her hand away. You have the premium option to give her a piece of your mind or let it go.
