Something - Cameron James

Thirteen

The following week of school, word spread quickly of Juliet's actions at the dance.

She now had students, even some faculty, congratulating her on her scorings. Which was great!

The blonde also heard that Kat found out about Patrick and the trio's plan.

That was less great.

So at soccer practice, Juliet made a point to talk to the girl.

"Hey, Kat?" She said during warm ups. "I'm really sorry about the money thing. It was all my idea, don't be mad at Patrick. He seems to truly like you. If you're going to hate anyone, hate me."

The older Stratford gave a glare. "I can hate both do you at the same time, can't I?"

The blonde nodded quickly before speaking again. "You have every right. But Patrick likes you for you. If it makes you feel any better, he gave most of the money back to Joey. Said he didn't care about money, he cared about you."

Kat's expression changed slightly, looking into Juliet's eye. "You know, you're not the complete shallow pretty girl I thought you were."

The girl smiled a little and tilted her head. "Thank you? I think?"

The curly headed girl nodded and walked away.

Was Katrina "The Shrew" Stratford, just nice to her?

Walking out of school that day, Juliet spotted Adriana and her friends in Trip's sports car.

Then, she spotted Cameron by his beat up car, smiling at her.

At the beginning of the year, the girl may have been more hesitant to leave her friends astray. But now, the choice was easy.

"Hi." She smiled giving the boy a kiss on the lips.

"Hey."

The two stepped into the brunette's car as the blonde saw Patrick and Kat kissing beside the Stratford's car.

Turning to Cameron, she leaned in as they began to kiss again.

"Let's go do something." Juliet said as she pulled away, laughing at Cameron's dazed face.

The two pulled out of the school driveway, making their way through the rest of high school. Together.
