CHAPTER 3

Celebration~

----------------------------------------------------------

JUSTIN'S POV

----------------------------------------

I sat in Starbucks, waiting for Darren to meet me like we arranged. As I waited, I daydreamed about me and Mari, actually being together, me playing piano while she sat next to me on the bench, head on my shoulder. I sighed. I was totally head over heals for this beautiful girl. Just as I thought that, a deep voice reached my ears. "Who is she?" Darren asked. I looked up to see my close friend watching me with a cautious expression, he new it must be someone important if I called him up. I sighed, looking down at mu hands. "You know Mariana, the girl from across the street?" I began. Before I could say anything else though he groaned and plopped down heavily in a chair. "Man, you fell for the little deaf girl?!" He said that with such disgust it made me want to punch him square in the jaw, no matter how good of friends we were. No one talks bad about Mariana. "Whats wrong with that? Just because someone is deaf doesn't mean that they are bad people, or cant have someone love them." I said, starting to get defensive. Darren sighed and put his hand on my shoulder. "Calm down dude, I know, its just it wont be as easy with her." He scratched his chin, his blue eyes gleaming as he thought. "The only way you would be able to win her heart would be tough to do, at it will take some time…"  I looked at him with pleading eyes. "I'll do anything, just tell me what." I said, semi desperately. He smiled slightly, and you could almost see the gears in his head working as he came up with a plan. "Well first things first." he said. "You need to break up with that bitch Trisha."

MARIANA'S POV

---------------------------------------------------------

I smiled as the wind pushed back my hair, my feet dangling from the swing as the world was in piece around me. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply through my nose, loving the smells of summer. I didn't want to go back to school tomorrow, back to Trisha and her small jabs, back to people treating me like I was a freak, back to Justin being the popular jock, instead of my best friend. I sighed and opened my eyes, counting the cars that passed by. I just sat there, thinking about the upcoming school year. I was so deep in thought I didn't even notice someone walking up behind me until a pair of arms wrapped around my waist, lifting me off the swing. I smiled and turned to face Justin, squirming until he put me down on the ground. Hi. I signed. He replied with a tight hug, crushing me to the point where breathing wasn't an option. After he let go and I could breathe again, I laughed at his small outburst. I smiled up at him, curious as to what made him so happy. Whats up, J? I haven't seen you this happy since you were 13 and you got out of that retched boarding school.  He grimaced as I brought up that terrible time when he was sent away for the year, but the smile soon returned to his face. Guess what I did today? he asked. I just gave him a stern look, he knew I hated it when he did that. He laughed at my stony expression, then said the most wonderful thing I've heard(you know what I mean) in years.

I broke up with Trisha.

 I couldn't help the small laugh of delight that escaped my lips, I was so happy to me rid of that witch and have my Justin all to myself again. I smiled largely, practically bouncing with excitement. I don't know what has gotten into me, but I feel like now that Justin's single… No, it was stupid. Justin was too far out of my league, even if he was on the market, he definitely wasn't for sale anywhere I could afford. I sighed, my happiness drained a bit. Justin looked at me quizzingly, noticing my happy balloon deflate a bit. I just shook my head and smiled. Even if I could never have Justin, at least now he was free of that evil bitch and maybe he could find someone who was actually sweet… or at least someone who had a heart that wasn't colder then the North Pole. Come on, you're sleeping over at my house tonight, we're having a celebration. Justin said, grabbing my hand and dragging me towards his house. I laughed and let him tow me up to his room, where we spent the night eating pizza, ice-cream and coke, and watching horror movies until our eyes practically fell out.

I sighed the next morning as I stood in my closet, searching for my school uniform. I knew it was there somewhere… aha! There. I pulled out the black shirt and black, white and blue plaid skirt from under a neat pile of folded clothes, throwing them on. I walked over to the mirror and examined myself. I looked like one of the zombies from one of the many movies we watched last night. I sighed and applied some concealer and mascara, only helping to hide the bags under my eyes a tiny bit. I sighed and walked downstairs, grabbing my school bag and throwing on my black converse as I walked to the door. Just then the door bell rang, signaling Justin's arrival. I looked at the wall clock, 6:30 on the dot. I shook my head in amazement, smiling to myself. This boy must have OCD or something, because he was always right on time, every day. I skipped out the door, my long ponytail hitting my back as I ran down the front steps. I jumped in the car and waited for Justin to drive off, but when he didn't I looked at him, curious as to why we weren't zooming off to school like every other day. I turned to see him staring at me, taking in my entire appearance. It seemed as though he liked what he saw, but his gaze made me uncomfortable. I felt too plain, and I shied away from his eyes. He saw me squirm a bit, but unlike a normal person, he just kept staring for another good couple of minutes. Then he said three words that sent my heart in a flutter and caused the butterflies that were always in my stomach when I was around him to go crazy. 'You look beautiful.' I heard his silent words loud and clear, and a smile so big came on my face, it could have put the cheshire cat to shame. Justin finally turned away and started the car. I leaned into the leather of the seat, loving the vibration of the engine as it tickled me slightly, making me giggle. I saw J smile a bit from the driver's seat, and that smile stayed there the whole car ride to school.

I was in such a great mood when we got to school that as I stood by my locker, I didn't even notice the group of three descending until it was too late to run for cover. 'Well, if it isn't miss Toress. How are you and my BOYFRIEND doing?' Trisha said, giving me a cold glare. Her two followers also gave me hard looks, but looked about as confused as I felt. There was no way Trisha could think that Justin broke up with her because of me. No one likes me, and that wasn't about to change. And even if someone did, it most definitely would not be the most popular boy in school, even if we have been best friends for years. I sighed sadly, realizing just how true this was. I looked up and met Trisha's gaze again, then walked away. It wasn't like I could respond anyway. I walked into Math in a funk, my good mood completely vanished, leaving behind the depressing truth. No matter how much I said otherwise, I knew I liked Justin, but I would never to be able to be with him, so why even bother right?

When the bell rang, signaling that there was only one class left, I nearly wept with joy. All day I've been busy with trying to avoid people, namely Justin and Trisha. I had been doing pretty well until lunch, where I got 'accidentally' pushed into the trash can, ruining one of the only good shirts I had, and humiliating me in front of the entire school. It got worse when Justin came up and defended me, saying Trish should 'pick on someone her own size/age.' That really got her pissed, and since then she has been looking for me, probably wanting to punch my lights out. I hadn't run into her yet, but I knew I would, considering we were in the same gym class. I eased open the locker room door, sighing with relief when I saw no one in there. I quickly changed, and right as I was about to leave, the door swung open, revealing the she-devil herself. I quickly ducked out of the room before she could see me, running into the gym. I could not wait for this day to end.

After I finished my homework,I went in my room to find a note laying on my bed. I picked it up and recognized Justin's handwriting, so I read. 'come over tonight, i wanna hang:) i didn't get to see you after lunch, you ran off too fast. don't worry about Trisha, she's just not thrilled that its over between us. be at my house no later then 8. ~J.H.    ps. i have a surprise for you!'

I smiled and put down the note, glancing at my clock. It was already 7, so I might as well shower and head over. I quickly got ready, leaving my hair damp and hanging straight down my back, throwing on some comfy pants and one of J's shirts. I walked outside using my latter, then walked up to his window exactly opposite of mine. I picked up a small rock and threw it. Then another, and another, all hitting the window. Soon enough a wet haired Justin came out, looking down at me. He smiled and threw down the rope latter we made when he was little, exactly for nights like this one. I quickly climbed into his room and flopped onto his bed. I smiled and we began to talk, about nothing and everything, until it got late and my eyes began to droop. Justin laughed and pulled me into the bed next to him, covering us up and turning off the light. I snuggled against his chest as he kissed the top of my head. Right at that moment, I knew everything would be fine, as long as I had Justin, either as a friend or more. He belonged in my life, and right here is where i intended to keep him.
