Love & War : Johnny Lawrence Fanfic

Lies

Johnny's POV:

"Honey! You're finally home. Where have you been?" Mom asks.

"At Y/n's."

"Well did you eat dinner?"

"Yeah, I did."

"Oh. Well if you get hungry, I made some chicken." She smiles.

"Ok."

I walk up a few steps on the staircase but I don't get far before mom starts talking again.

"Oh honey- you've got mail."
I turn around confused.

Mail?

I quickly go down the few steps I climbed and take the white envelope out of her hands.

It has Berkeley written on it.

I quickly rush up the stairs and lock my bedroom door.
I hear mom call my name.
I rip open the envelope and almost snatch the letter out.

Dear, Johnny,
We regret to inform you, we have decided to not go forward with your application-

I crumble the paper before I read another word.

Fuck.

I didn't get into Berkeley.
I don't get it. My grades were good enough. Well, not really, but still.

Whatever.

It doesn't matter. I still have to hear from UCLA.
Y/n should've gotten a letter too. I wonder if she got in.

I pick up the phone and begin to dial her number but suddenly the phone rings.

"Hello?" I answer the phone thinking it's Y/n.

"Hey man!" Tommy answers.

———

"Hey babe." I smile at Y/n.

"Hey." She smiles as she approaches me.

"I like your shirt." I point to her T- shirt.
"Thanks." She smiles looking down at her Queen shirt.

"But I do prefer the towel." I smirk before stepping back inside my car.

"You're such a loser." She mumbles as she buckles her seat belt.

"What'd you say?" I ask.

"Nothing." She smiles looking up at me.

"Really? It sounded like you said something." I lean closer to her.

"No- no I didn't say anything." She shrugs innocently.

"Huh. Well, you're the loser." I mumble.

"Oh you suck!" She smiles and pushes me back to my seat.

"Hey that's your job." I smirk.

She freezes and sits back in her seat.
I cant hold my laughter.
