The Highschool Life

Chapter 10

Josh's POV

I then grab Jeanette by the hand and lead her to my car. I opened the door for her and she sat down. When I got in the car I began to drive.

As I was driving, a song came on the radio. I could here Jeanette singing softly.

Her voice. I thought. She sings like an angel.

"Jeanette. I didn't know you could sing" I say
She laughs "Well yeah. But I'm not that good."
"Are you kidding? Your voice is perfect. Why didn't you join the chorus at school?"
"Becky" she says "she always had a plan to get me kicked out or to embarrass myself."
"Wow. I knew Becky was a bitch. But wow."
"Becky and I have a long history..."
"What do you mean?" I say
She sighs. "Becky and I used to be best friends. Since kindergarten. Until in 4th grade. Catherine came along and she always felt like lonely. So I started to hang out with her and we became really good friends. Becky was jealous. She wanted me all to herself. I was just trying to be nice to Catherine. But she took everything too seriously. She stopped talking to me. Weeks past. Even months. She then spreaded rumors. I even got suspended for one of them. Catherine was always there for me. My mom and Catherine's mom also became best friends. I then realized Catherine was a true best friend. In seventh grade, she became rich because her dad owns some company. She then became really popular. And she made a group. With Jen and Brittany. When you came to our middle school in 7th grade, everyone shipped you with Becky. And to be honest, I liked you since then. But I was the nerd in braces and glasses and my hair covering my face. I don't think you ever noticed. Not like anyone would. But Becky just continues to ruin me. I even started cutting. I still have a few scars. I stopped because of Catherine. She always made me feel better." She says wiping a tear while smiling at me.

I couldn't even believe what I just heard. Poor Jeanette. I wish I was there for her. I wish I wasn't so full of myself in middle school. I wish I could go back in time and prevent all the self harm she did to herself. But it's all the past now...I couldn't do anything about it.

"I'm sorry Jeanette. I would do anything to turn back time and change all that. But just please do me a favor love, don't EVER self harm yourself again. Promise me please." I say
"Don't be sorry Josh. It's the past. But I promise you I won't."
"I have to be sorry. I used to think Becky was cool and nice. Until last year, when I dated her, I realized she was a slut."
"Yeah. Looks can be deceiving..."
"Well love, let's just forget about Becky for now and have fun. This is a date. You're supposed to have fun not cry"
"You're right." She says laughing
I smile "It warms my heart to hear your laugh"
She laughs more while blushing.
I kiss her forehead and say "Well let's go"
We get off the car and we enter a restaurant. It wasn't so fancy but it wasn't so simple either. It even had a karaoke machine.

"Table for two?" The waitress said
"Uh yes please" I say
"Follow me" she says

The waitress took us to our table.

"Thank you" Jeanette says
"Your so very welcome" the waitress says "here's the menu"
"Thanks" I say

The waitress then nods and walked off

"So do you know what you want?" I ask
"Uh I think I'll have an alfredo pasta." Jeanette says
"Okay great! I love alfredo pasta. So I'll get the same" I say chuckling.
She smiles and I smile back.

We then order our food and eat. We had a great time talking and getting to know each other more. We also made lots of jokes whoch made the date even better. We then finished our food.

"That was good. But I'm full" Jeanette says chuckling
"Yeah. So am I " I say smiling. I then ask the waitress for the check.
"Oh and before we go. I want you to sing karaoke with me" I say
"What. No I can't sing" she says
"Hush child. You can sing love. So you're singing with me. You can pick the song."
She laughs "okay...I can get to here you sing tho" she says with a huge grin.
"Yeah...don't make fun of my singing okay?"
She giggles "okay I won't "
"YAY!" I say

She then picked the song "Thinking out loud" by Ed Sheeran because it was the first one song she knew and she didn't wanna look for another.

She sang beautifully. And I sang with her. Everyone loved us. Or just her. The audience then clapped when we finished.

"Josh." She says
"Yeess?" I say
"You can sing you idiot"
"I can?"
"Yeah like I was so surprised. I've never heard any boy in our school sing like that. It was beautiful "
I blush and say "Thanks love . But you sing better"
"Hush child" she says mocking me "you sing better"
I laugh "okay whatever you say"
"Yay I win" she says all childish
"Yeah cuz you got lucky."
She then playfully stuck her tongue out at me and the smiled. I then kissed her

"Before you go home, I'm taking you somewhere else real quick. Okay?" I say
"Okay" she says

I then began to drive

"We're here" I say.
"The beach?" She says
"Yes" I say. "You're gonna love it c'mon "
She giggles "okay"

We then walk on the shore

"I always come here to calm me down. It's so peaceful here. I also love how the stars look here ar night" I say
"Wow." She says "It's beautiful " she says admiring the veiw with a smile
"I knew you'll like it" I say smiling "I've never brought any of my girlfriends here. Not even Becky."
"You're just saying that..."
"Jeanette." I stop and step closer to her. "I would never lie to you. You mean everything to me. You're someone special. You are my world. I could never live without you. I love you Jeanette. I love the fact that you don't care about what anyone says. I love your honesty. I love the fact that you're so confident on school work or anything else. I love your beauty. Your personality. All these things made me fall in love with you. And I needed to be with you." I say rubbing her cheek with me thumb. I then kissed her.
She smiles "I love you Josh"
"I love you too"

We stayed at the beach for a while then I drove her home. I kissed her goodbye. And I drove off to my house.

Jeanette's POV

That was the best night ever. I enjoyed myself so much. I then went upstairs. My mom was asleep thank god.

As a change into my pajamas, I was too lazy to take of my makeup so I just went to sleep.
