I loved every second of calling Jessie a dick! It was amazing. He deserved it. I saw new girls every day crying over him, it seemed. I wasn't sure if it was something he said or something he did. I had seen him kissing a few girls, but he never really seemed into it. It was more like he was just following along with what was expected of him. He was hanging around his group of friends again but only for a small period each day. He spent the rest of his time alone.
After school, I drove home in my baby and walked upstairs into my room, and went straight to my closet. I looked through my dresses. Only having a few, it had taken me a minute to find an appropriate one.
I grabbed one of the black ones that went down to my knees. Come to think about it, Chris helped me pick this one out at the store when my mom decided that I needed to own some dresses for her stupid dinner parties.
I left my hair alone and grabbed my converse to put them back on. As I walked downst
The tear phase had passed by Monday, and I was back in a deep depression. All feelings had left me, and I was back to being an empty shell. I walked through the door to second hour and sat in the back as usual. Jessie walked in and sat in his seat after making out with some random girl in the doorway. I had scanned her over, noticing that it was a different girl than yesterday. Ew. I slouched in my seat. No doubt, he was going to try and talk to me. There was nothing he could say and nothing I wanted him to say. There was no reason for me to be friendly with him now. Nothing had changed between us. Maybe that was a lie. He had been there during the most traumatic time in my life. He held me while I cried and followed me when I was running so I wouldn't be alone in my grief. Despite his chosen group of friends, his rotation of women, and the prank he pulled on me a few weeks ago… I had to say that I didn't hate him as much as I wanted to. He turned to
His body fit every curve of mine perfectly. His face was inches away from me, and my eyes scanned over it in surprise. The smell of the peppermint gum he was chewing fanned over my face, and I refrained from taking in a deep breath. The pink of his lips looked softer than I imagined, and I was tempted to taste them. Wait! Julie, don't think like that this dick-lick. He does not deserve you to think about him that way. He opened his mouth to begin to talk, but then his eyes flicked down to my lips. I turned my head away from his just as it seemed he was getting closer. I noticed a couple of girls staring at us. Oh, great. That's going to start drama. I raised my knee to his groin at hit him gently. The gentle warning didn't seem to hurt him, but he did pull back, freeing me to make my escape. "And, now that you don't have my attention, we don't. By the way, you should never do that again. You don't want to ruin your rep. Right, playboy?" I smirked and
The rest of the week went on as if Jessie and I had never even talked. He was being his usual man whore-ish self, and I was back to being the depressed nerd with anger problems. I started listening in class and bringing my grades up again so Chris and my dad wouldn't be disappointed in me. Going back and completing all of the old assignments reminded me just how much I hated school. Jessie and I don't talk in any of the classes we have together. He didn't even look at me if we passed in the hall. There was a rumor going around that I was his hump and dump from Monday. They're saying that we did it during 6th hour when I had my break down. How romantic… It's all bull shit! Everyone in this school was so full of shit! I walked down the hall to drop off my textbooks and grab my homework for the weekend. I walked up to my locker, but it was blocked. Jessica and her slowly healing face were making out with some tall guy with a backward baseball cap
At 3:00 pm, I decided that ice cream sounded amazing. It used to be a weekly event with Chris to get ice cream. I missed her. I grabbed my keys and was planning on going to the grocery store, but somehow I ended up at The Shack. I walked out of my car and headed in. Jessie wasn't there, but a majorly hot as hell guy was. He had short black hair and snake bites. He had green eyes and was about 6'3. His arms were so ripped I thought his shirt would break if he moved. You could see his abs through his shirt too. He looked up and saw me staring. I blushed. There was no way he was in high school. This man was a God, and it was just wrong to see him working at an Ice Cream store. "Sorry," I mumbled. He just grinned. I walked over to the counter to order. "Can I get a scoop of The Reese's Runaway?" I held out money, but he just ignored me. He smiled at me, pulled money out of his pocket, and placed it in the register. "Don't worry about it. I don't m
"I don't really know what to say to that." I looked down and took a small bite of my ice cream. He stood up and walked back to the counter. Was it because I didn't flirt back like all the other sluts from school? He walked behind the counter and got a scoop of ice cream for himself. He came back and threw out Alex's, to resume sitting with me while eating his ice cream. "Sorry, I really liked the way that ice cream looked." I fake gasped and hit his arm playfully. "Hey." I laughed. "What?" I raised my eyebrows. "Why did you hit me?" He looked hurt, and he held his arm. I laughed at how bad of an actor he was. "You are a really bad actor. Do you know that?" He dropped his other hand from his 'hurt' arm and laughed too. It was a genuine laugh, one I had only seen a glance of one before coming from his perfect lips. He looked so normal for a minute, instead of the man I knew from school, so I watched and soaked it all in. He didn't look l
Julie's P.O.V "Attention students. I have an announcement to make." The loudspeaker interrupted our Monday morning first hour. "We have decided to hold a little competition between our students. We will be holding a battle of the bands." The class erupted in cheers. The voice continued. "But! This time we will let individuals perform too. You don't have to have a band, but we do require that you use an instrument and sing." I let out a deep breath. I used to play guitar, but I put it away when my dad died. It just sits there in the back of my closet, collecting dust. My dad used to say that I was a natural, and I would be famous one day. Maybe I could pull it out just this once and play a song for Chris or my dad. I could do it in front of the school for them, and if I make a fool of myself, then I make a fool of myself. So, it's decided. I'm going to stand up in front of the school and sing a song for Chris and my dad. Just thinking about it
I saw some people around me look at me, but I just stared at the screen in shock as the audience got louder as they discussed the image. The music didn't play because Jessie started to speak. "First off, I would like to say to all you ladies who are going around saying me and you did 'stuff'. You're full of shit. I never went beyond making out with any of you. So, you guys can shut the hell up." He grabbed his guitar as I could hear girls start to whisper to their friends. He strapped up and the drums counted them off. Jessie started strumming and it was awesome. He leaned in to the microphone. I recognized the son instantly as Just the Girl by The Click Five. I was in shock, with my jaw on the floor. I was staring wide eyed at Jessie as sang, his eyes not leaving me for a second. My heart was pounding in my chest and by the heat in my face, I knew it was the most red it had ever been in my life. As he finished the song, he winked with a wide smile. T
"What you did was uncalled for, but I expect you of all people to understand that." The principal glared at me. "I don't care if she came at you first. She will be dealt with as well when she gets out of the nurse's office. Your language and actions were completely unacceptable. This behavior has gone on too long." "What's that supposed to mean?" I swear something crawled up my principal's but and died. She had always been on my side. Of course, that was before I started punching people. I might need to cool it on that a bit. "It means that you used to be this sweet girl. Now, I see you beating up people left and right." She said loudly. "What I choose to do is none of your business! Focus on being a principal and not my mom. I already have a shitting one of those at home. If you want to punish me as my principal, that's fine, but stop acting like we are friends." She flinched but stood up leaning over me. "Do you really think Christine would be proud of wha
