It Is Meant to Be {MJ Fanfiction}

Montclair College Prep

Michael's POV

I just started my senior year in highschool. The first three years were pretty tough but I got through. Sierra told me she's been saving some crazy plans for us for our senior year.

I'm not sure what she has planned, but I think it'll be pretty crazy.

I grab my books out of my locker and start walking to class. Sierra bumps into me and says,

"Watch it nerd!"

She makes her voice deep. I start laughing. She smiles. She was able to convince her dad to let her wear what she wants. She's wearing black Jean fitted overalls with a white shirt underneath. She has one strap unbuttoned.

"Where you going? "

I look at her amused. "Uh class."

She pulls me to the side and says,

"I got some green from the new kid, Teddy. "

My eyes widen. "You got marijuana from Teddy!"

"Say it louder, Mike."

"Sorry. What are you planning to do with that? "

"I was planning on starting a family with it and name our first kid Bob Marley. What do you think I'm gonna do with it?"

"Are you crazy? You could get caught and even worse expelled! "

"I'm not going to get caught.. I mean we aren't going to get caught. "

She smirks at me.

I shook my head. "No way in hell am I trying that. "

"Oh come on, Mikey! Please! This will be our only time. I want to try everything at least once. I don't mean every drug."

I think about it. "Where are we going to do it at? "

"In the basement in the theater."

I take a deep breath. "I can't believe I'm letting you do this!"

She smiles. We walk casually to the theater. We make our way back stage and through the door to the basement. It's empty. No one is around. We sit on some old boxes.

She takes out the rolled up joint.

"I'll try it first."

I nod. She pulls out a lighter and lights it up. She puts it between her lips and puffs it twice. She holds in the smoke then blows it through her nose. She laughs.

"That's cool! How you do that?"

"I just exhaled out my nose."

She hands it to me. I look at it uncertained.

"Don't worry, Mikey, it'll only make you relax."

I nod. I put it between my lips and puff twice just like Sierra did. I calm myself and exhaled out my nose.

I laugh. Sierra giggles. We go back and forth until the joint is pretty small. I feel lighter. Sierra keeps laughing.

"I feel like I'm on the moon."

I get up and walk slowly as if I am on the moon. Sierra joins me. She says slowly,

"Michaellllll I'm floatinggggg."

I giggle. I never felt so relaxed in my life. I won't ever do this again, but I'm sure in hell won't forget this. I begin to hear a ringing noise.

"Sierra am I suppose to be able to hear that ringing noise?"

She stops and says, "I hear it too."

I check my watch and gasp. "School is over!"

"What? We just got here!"

We hear footsteps above us.

We hear a voice.

"What is that smell? "

Someone else says, "I think it's marijuana. It's coming from the basement. "

I look at Sierra panicked. I whisper,

"We're dead meat, Sierra!"

She didn't seemed fazed. She just walks over to me and pulls me further into the basement. She moves some boxes and a door appears.

"I found this that time we snuck into school to prank Mr. Wilfred. "

The door opens. I see the parking lot. We go through the door and run to her car. We get in and she starts driving.

Sierra starts laughing. "Michael, I feel on top of the world!"

I laugh. "How long will this last?"

She shrugs her shoulders. "Maybe a few hours. I'm not sure."

Sierra drives a convertible car.

"Grab the wheel Mikey!"

I grab the wheel as Sierra stands up and raises her arms in the sky. I'm not a good driver but for some reason I didn't feel nervous at all. I felt at peace. I stand and raise my right arm up while the other is holding the wheel.

Sierra screams and says, "I feel free! "

I look at her and see her hair blowing in the wind. Her smile is perfect. She seems so happy.

"Mikey! Watch out!"

I look back at the road and see a car heading our way! I swerve and get back in our lane. Sierra sits down and so do I. She grabs the wheel and starts laughing.

"We almost died, Mikey!"

I start laughing. "I don't even feel scared! This stuff is crazy!"

She pulls another joint out of her pocket.

"I bought two from Teddy!"

"Light it up!"

I couldn't believe what I was saying! She hands it to me and I light it up. I take two puffs and give it to Sierra. She takes two puffs then pulls over.

"I don't want to drive and smoke."

I nod. I lean the seat back and look at the sky. So does Sierra. She passes it back to me.

"Mikey?"

"Yeah?"

"Let's go to the beach."

I laugh. "We can't. We're quite famous remember? "

"I know, but there's this private beach I found."

"You found?"

"Long story short, no one ever goes there. I've been there secretly four times already and no one ever shows up. We can call Shanone and Scot and have a little fun. Come on."

"Sure. "
