ballerina girl~ J Mariano[1]

chapter fourteen

Camille found Jess reading under a tree with a flashlight since it was dark.

"here." she handed him a back of white chalk and a roll of police tape.

"where'd you get the tape from?" he asked.

"i found it." she answered.

Jess raised his eyebrow at her.

"in the police station." she added.

"well well well, ballerina girl is going bad." Jess smirked.

"i'm not going bad." Camille denied. "i just want a distraction."

"i'm guessing that the meeting with Dean didn't go well." the boy assumed.

"well I went home after and cried for three hours before Lorelai decided that we were going to watch cheesy rom-coms and eat ice cream." she shared her evening plans. "she advised me to go out for a walk to clear my head and the next thing you know i'm here and-."

"shut up and take a piece of chalk." Jess interrupted her.

"right, sorry." she apologised, taking a chalk from Jess.

The two were in silence for a while until they had finished with the outline. They took a step back to look at the masterpiece.

"looks like you're a murderer too." Jess chuckled.

"yep." Camille agreed. "I wonder who my next victim with be."

"help me with the tape." Jess requested.

Camille took one end of the tape and wrapped it around two lampposts.

"finished." Jess announced as he finished wrapping his end of the tape to a lamppost.

While looking at the prank that she had done, Camille started to feel guilty.

"oh no." she mumbled. "oh no, oh no, oh no."

"what's the matter?" Jess questioned.

"Lorelai told me to take a walk." she started to freak. "now i've stolen police tape and brought chalk to help with vandalism and i'm going to get arrested for life and I won't be able to do my audition at Juilliard next year and I won't be able to make my parents proud and-."

She was cut off when Jess put his hand under her chin and pressed his lips against hers. After a while he pulled away.

"calm down, you're not going to get arrested." he reassured her.

"I...umm...I." Camille muttered.

She ran away, she didn't know what else to do. She ran back to her house, hoping that no one had seen what she and Jess had done.

When she got in, the lights were still on. Lorelai and Rory were sitting on the sofa.

"Where have you been?" Lorelai questioned.

"I went for a walk." she technically wasn't lying.

"For an hour?" Rory piped in.

"I sat by the lake, the moonlight reflecting off of it is calming." now she was lying. "Rory can I talk to you, in your room?"

"Sure." The girl answered.

She got up from the sofa and the girls went into Rory's room, closing the door behind them.

"I kissed Jess." She blurted out. "Well actually he kissed me."
