recognized?

"Who's that with you?" Rachel, leader of a fraternity at Lauren's school asked Vanessa. She pointed at Lauren. Lauren froze as all attention turned to her. There were thirty people in her apartment, half of whom she knew, staring at her! While she wore a childish sundress, without padded underwear or anything!

"What, you don't recognize her?" Megan, an old school mate of Lauren's said. "That's Lauren!"

Lauren froze. She'd been recognized! This was her worst nightmare!

"Nah, that's not Lauren." Bobby said. "It's their younger sister Jess."

"No, that's Lauren!" Someone threw in. "I'd recognize her anywhere!"

"Well then why does she look like she's like five?"

"Lauren's the hottest girl in our town, there's no way that's her!"

The crowd argued. Lauren stood frozen, praying, literally praying to that they would decide she was the younger sister Jess and not Lauren!
