Phony for money

chapter 2

Comment below and don't forget the stars? :) lemme know if you catch that twist before the end of the chapter?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sped walked down the hall, insistent on making it to third class, I'd missed two days of UNI this week and was not interested in missing another second. I badly needed to get through this year without failing. Two years I'd stuck out here, and with the second month of junior year I was adamant that  I was no matter what getting a degree in art. I inwardly sighed; art was my passion, I was going to work my ass off, sell a big-ass expensive painting and pay off dad's growing twenty thousand dollar debt.

I groaned and looked up at the sky, as time passed the interest on the debt grew.

"Dear Lord, please help me out. I'm dying here, please please show me a way to–"

Oomph!

I felt the wind rush out of my lungs as I tumbled to my death and died.I watched as the angels parted and let myself be covered in shinning silk as I basked in the glory of my new palace.

Kidding, sometimes I wish I wasn't. Instead I looked up at a familiar pair of green eyes that looked a lot kinder than last night.

"Oops sorry," he grinned hastily picking me up.

He looked so different, dressed so much more casually than when I usually saw him from a distance, his scowl non-existent.

"It's alright," I instantly replied, picking up my phone, which thankfully hadn't cracked. I let out a yelp as I glanced at the time, it was five minutes into Mr Alzate's class.

Without another glance at Julien I sprinted towards class 801.

"Wait!" 

"Yes?" I replied trying to cover up my frustration.

"Where's class 801?" he asked scratching the back of his head slightly.

"I'm headed right towards it,"

"Oh great! me too. let's go together,"

I stared at him slightly wondering why he took an art subject before shrugging off the question and making my way to class.

As per usual Mr. Alzate ignored my late entry and I slid into the back of the room trying to pry off the creepy feeling that came with Julien sliding next to me with a huge grin.

"First day and I'm not doing bad!" he whispered to me.

I ignored him and tried to focus my attention on the lecture despite the frat boy and brunette making out in front of me.

I frowned but nevertheless craned my neck to the side. Julien however had a different approach in mind.

"Hey! knock it off," he yelled before pulling out the guy's chair from underneath with his foot.The guy slumped to the ground and looked angrily at Julien. I gulped, my eyes flitted between them and the class grew silent.

"Mr. Pace leave the class now!" Mr alzate's voice resonated through the room.

The guy who was at least three inches shorter that Julien, angrily huffed before kicking his chair, giving me the stink eye and smacking his girlfriend's butt. I shuddered as I watched him strut out of the room.

Immediately I noticed the whole class' eyes on me, something which had never happened in my two years here. Then I realised it wasn't me they were staring at, but the light haired boy who was grinning and profusely winking at the girls who swooned at his every antic.

Mr Alzate quickly walked up to the end of the room, panic written in his eyes.

"Mr Staub are you alright?" he asked.

Julien just shrugged and nodded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wow, I knew you were royalty but– wow you have the world on your pinky," I grinned at him.

"A simple college is hardly the world...um,"

"Adrienne,"

"Nice," he smiled.

"I already know your name," I replied.

"Of course," he answered slinging an arm around my neck.

I anxiously looked around for incredulous stares but the hallway was surprisingly empty.

I tentatively removed his arm, increasing the distance between us.

His goofy grin instantly morphed into a frown.

"And here I thought we were turning into friends,"

"I'm not a very tough feely person," I answered. "And who said we were friends?"

"Well we did have two classes together, and I saved your ass from miss blaine when she almost hit you with a pot for forgetting your canvas again,"

"Yeah by buying me a complete set in seconds!" I proclaimed.

"Did you like it?" he wiggled his eyebrows.

"I can't accept it,"

"Well I guess the racoons in the fields behind will enjoy painting then," he shrugged.

"Why are you being so nice to me? we are complete strangers, I could be a killer," 

"Well duh. That's the point of making friends, to find out if their deranged killers or not," he laughed.

"I don' think that's–"

"My point is I think you're a cool person, so let's be friends until you try to kill me!" he whined.

"Julien if this is about that favour–"

"Sebastian!"

Julien and I turned our heads to the posh light haired, green eyed boy making his way to us. I tilted my head as my vision focused on the figure heading my way. Julien ignored my previous warning and slung his arm around my shoulder. I tried to push him off but my feeble attempts stopped short as the figure stopped in front of us, my mouth hung agape.

He nodded my way in acknowledgement before turning to Julien–no Julien number 2?

"Hospital.Now," he deadpanned.

Julien number 2 nodded before turning to me and giving me a wide grin. 

"I'm sorry our conversation's been cut short friend, I'll see you tomorrow?"

I stared at the look alikes dumbstruck.

"Oh and by the was my name's Sebastian, not Julien ew. Julien's this ugly ass monster next to me wearing a frown that would put squidward to shame," he laughed walking parallel to Julien.

I watched their retreating backs as Sebastian asked Julien "What's this favour you asked her? Because if it has anything to do with sexy time, I'm not down for it,"
