Not Another Faker

Chapter Thrty-Nine

"He painted me." "Like one of his French girls." "Ian." "Yes?" "Shut up." "Um excuse me, I'll be right back." I run to the bathroom. "He painted you. Like he went full on Jack and Rose on your ass." "Jules?" "Seb?" "Yeah it's me." "This is the girls restroom, sir." "I just wanted to talk to you where no one else could hear us." "Okay, talk." "When I first met you in the hall, I automatically knew you were different. I knew that you had some sort of importance to me. Then I went back to art class and started sketching. I hadn't even realized I was sketching you. You were the first girl that made me feel like being different was okay. Sasha didn't even make me feel how you make me feel. I loved Sasha, but I'm in love with you. And I know you said that we will never happen. But I will love you, till death do us part." "Seb I-." "Well I'll let you get back to whatever you were doing. I have to go except my first place award." "Wait you got first place?!" I hug him and he swings me around. "No." He sets me down. "We got first place." I hug him again. I know I shouldn't have, but I did. I kissed him. He pulls away. "But I thought." "Don't think. I'm done thinking about us. After the dance next week, maybe you would want to hang out." "Like a date?" "No not like a date, a date." "Well I guess." I smile as he walks away.

I stare at myself in the mirror. For once the person I see in the mirror, is the person I am. I couldn't stop smiling. That was till one of the stalls unlocked. "So cute." "Go away Gigi. I can smell the vanilla bean perfume from here." "You know he painted Sasha to." "Yeah but I bet he didn't paint you." I walk towards her. "Face it Gigi, you lost. I got Seb, I got the amazing friends, I got the amazing family. I win. Face it you lost." "Wouldn't it be a shame if you built up this amazing life and one day just died." "We're all gonna die one day. Even you." I walk out back to the art gallery. Was I scared for what I had just gotten myself into? Absolutely mortified. But it has gotten to the point in my life, that I can't wait to be happy. If I'm gonna live like this for the rest of my life, I want to be happy. I walk back and I here yelling. "You painted her. That's so cheesy." "Yeah Blake. What have you ever done for her? Made her life a living hell? That's such a great story. For her birthday, you got her shoes. Like come on dude." "Yeah well you feel the need to snatch all of our girls. Can get your own so you gotta take other people's." "What the hell are you fighting about?" Blake comes up and grabs my hand. "Come on Julia we're leaving." Then Seb comes up to me. "No come with me Julia." "How about I go with neither of you." I push both of them away and walk out the door.

The next morning felt like I had been hit with a brick. God I thought this fighting over me thing was over. I was going to the dance with one guy and going on a date after the dance with another. I get up at look myself in the mirror. "Maybe people are right, you are a hoe." "You are not a hoe." "Jesus Seb. Maybe a warning next time." "Sorry. Hey Sawyer told me that after you left the art gallery, you went and got your licenses." "Yes I did." "Okay so, here." He hands me a small box. I open it to see keys. Not just keys, the keys to his Jeep. "Your giving me your Jeep. Your light blue, brand new Jeep." "My dad is giving me his truck. I've wanted that truck since I was seven. But I wasn't gonna get rid of a perfectly good Jeep. So it's yours." "I don't know what to say." "You don't have to say anything." I run up and give him a hug. "I love you Seb." I say as I put my head in my shoulder. "I love you Jules."

  You could say I was living in a dream. Or a movie. But I've never been happier. We couldn't go to the dance together. We are to nice if people to ditch our dates. After the dance we can have the happier ever after we always deserved to have. "So. They are announcing the candidates for Spring fling Queen and King." "You know Seb, you would look great in a crown." "Only if you're my queen." "Gladly." We walk into school. I went to English and sat down by Sawyer. "So, Seb gave you his Jeep." "Yes! It's amazing." "You really love him huh?" "Yes." "Hello students. It is your Vice Principals here to announce the nominees for Spring Fling Queen and King. First the king nominees. Ian Miller, Jack Green, Cameron Gray, Jeremy Clark, and last but not least Sebastian James." "Wow go Seb." "Now for your Spring Fling Queen nominees. Gigi Banks." "Shocker." "Nora Smith, Jenna Gilbert, Megan Brown, and last up. Julia Maxwell."
