Not Another Faker

Chapter Eleven

Parties. The thought of them sounds great, till your knee deep in jail. Which will never happen to me cause I run fast. When we get there Blake greats us at the door. "Welcome to me casa." "You failed Spanish didn't you?" "Yeah Jules how'd you know?" "Just a hunch." We walk in and I get offered a wine cooler. "Sure." "Excuse me." Seb grabs it out of my hand. "You can't drink this it will interfere with healthy production of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets in your bone marrow." "You did research."

"Yes I did. Cause I'm a good friend." "Well I'm drinking it." I grab it from his hand and began chugging it. "You only live once Seb." I got right up into his face. "Make it last." I walk out and start dancing. To be honest this was the first time I've felt like me in a long time. "Hey Sawyer where's Blake?" "Probably up in his room." I walk up the stairs to his room. "Dad when are you coming home? I know you have work but I'm your son you can't just leave me alone for months at a time. I need money for food. Yeah just send it to me whatever." He hangs up the phone and flops down on his bed.

"I don't think I was supposed to hear that." "Oh sorry yeah kinda a mood killer I know." "Are you okay?" "I've been better." I sit down on the bed beside him. "My father will leave for work for months at a time. And by the time he comes home, I'm a whole new person." "Blake I'm sorry I didn't know." "I just wish I had a father who cared." I grabbed his hand. "You don't need him, you have me." He leaned in and kissed me. Everything was perfect until we heard a crash downstairs.

We ran downstairs to see Seb beating some guy to the ground. "Seb what are you doing?" No answer. The guy slammed Seb to the ground. "Seb!" I ran over trying to pull the guy off of him. The guy swung back hitting me in the face. Everything went dark, the only thing I could hear was people chanting "fight fight fight" the next thing I knew I woke I about fifteen minutes later in Blake's bed. "Ow." "Yeah he hit you pretty hard." "Is Seb okay?" I sat up. "He's fine, Sawyers cleaning him up downstairs." I got up and went down stairs to Seb. He was sitting on the sink. Sawyer walks out. "He said something about you, the guy. But he won't say what he said."

I walk in and sit by him on the sink. "Did you at least win?" "Yeah you should see the other guy." "Oh I saw him. His fist right in my face." "I'm sorry Jules he just, he deserved it." "What did he say about me? Sawyer told me he said something." "He told everyone that you were faking. Then when we proved him wrong, he called you a dead girl walking. And said you were gonna drop dead soon." Memories of what Kara had said came rushing back. I felt a tear run down my face. "Don't cry." He wiped my tear before it fell on my shirt. "He had it coming. Someone had to knock some sense into him."

"Blake kissed me." "What! I mean cool." "I think you should make a move in Gigi tonight." "And why would I do that?" "Cause you like her? I mean she's here you might as well." "I don't know Julia, I'm not good at talking to girls." "You talk to me perfectly fine." "That's different, your different." "I'm just saying, nothing last forever. But if you want it to last forever you have to try." We walk out of the bathroom. And Sawyer runs up to me. "Girl that was some badass fighting." "I got knocked out." "But you tried that's what counts." She pulls me to the side. "Blake told me you kissed. So?" "It was a kiss." "Your first kiss!" "Thanks you for announcing to the world." "Come on Jules he's perfect." "I don't know Say." I look over at Seb who is talking to Gigi. "Maybe he's just not the right one."

I walk into the house and Mom is sitting on the couch. "Did you enjoy the party?" "Are you mad?" "Peach you're in high school, I don't expect to to be perfect cause I know I wasn't." "You had a child in high school." "You trying to tell me something? Are you pregnant Peach?" "What no! But I should tell you that I had my first kiss and drank a few wine coolers." "You had your first kissed!?" "I thought you'd care more about the alcohol." "There's only like seven percent of alcohol in that Peach. If you start feeling weird tell me. Wait do you have a busted lip?" "Oh yeah some guy and Seb got in a fight and I tried to pull him off of Seb and the guy hit me on accident." "Was Seb the guy you kissed?" "What? No it was Blake." "Oh pretty boy. I'm not sure I like him." "Well I do and Seb likes Gigi." "The bitch? Boy he better watch his back. I bet she's a Gemini." "Goodnight Mom." "Night Peach."

I walked up to my room and got ready for bed. For the fourth night in a row I stood in the mirror looking at myself, crying. Wondering why I was given the life I was given. But tonight was different. As I was looking at myself in the mirror I heard a voice behind me. "Julia?"

I wonder who it could be. Wait and find out:)
