More than a Rebel

Chapter 20

A brand new day, and I dare to say that for the first time in months I feel so optimistic, even tho I still got stuff to figure out, I feel like I can do it.

"Good morning Keyla!" I say as I come to the dinner table once I'm finished getting ready.

"Well good morning to you to Val, I left your breakfast in the microwave, I have to go; big practice and exams and all, Love you" says Keyla while walking towards the door.

"I love you too Kay, Also, I'll make dinner tonight, tell Jaden I say hi, just in case I don't see him" I tell her back while we both wave our good byes to each other.

On the walk to school, I felt calm, I was humming and actually thinking that I might just join the singing program because why not?, Today will be the day I audition; and I seriously can't wait.

**********************************

When I got to school, I walked towards my locker and thankfully I didn't run into any of the boys. In that part, I have no idea what to say to eather one of them.

Adrian was my first boyfriend, the boy whom was there for me from the beggining, he was so attentive, sweet, and understanding, and Handsome all at the same time.

And then we have Julian, he was my second boyfriend, and in a weird way he was there for me too, not all the time but the time when I most needed someone, he was very impulsive, possessive, and handsome too.

Ugh! like I said, they are both very different, I just don't know which one, they are both great guys; but I will worry about that later, I think we all need time to heal before anything else could happen.

***********************************

When I get to my first period classroom I take my regular seat. There was no one in the classroom at the moment so I started writting the lyrics to the song with which I wanted to audition. Suddenly I feel the seat next to me move and as expected when I look up I see Julian.

"Good morning Julian" I say to him politely.

"Hey" he says barely looking at me.

"Oh come on Julian, I understand that I hurt you, and I'm really sorry, but can't you see I'm hurt too?"

He looks at me for a brief moment. I take a deep breath and place my hand on his arm.

"Look, I am very sorry, but because I love you guys I can't hurt ya, I need to figure myself out first, before I take a final decision and trust me, I'm definetly on it"

"Look Valentina, I apologize for my behaviour but I really don't want to talk about anything right now, just please lets talk later"

"Sure Julian, I understand, just know that if the time comes I will talk to Adrian as well" I give him a small smile and then turn my attention to the people that we're arriving.

***********************************

Lunch time has come and I couldn't be any happier, I mean things between Julian and I are not super smooth but its not as bad as at first I thought it was going to be. I was done getting lunch when I decided to go to the school garden maybe even on purpose.

As I'm approaching I see the person I wanted to encounter.

"Hi, may I join you?" I smile at him.

"Uhh, do as you please, its a free place"

"Ookay" I answer and decide to sit in front of him, but not too close.

"So, I wanted to talk to you Adrian, listen, I am so sorry for everything that has happened"

"Ok Valentina, if you came here to apologize and talk about our none existent relationship then you should really save it or I'm gonna have to walk away from my probably most favorite place of the school".

"No, no!, I mean... yeah that's part of it but it's not all, please just listen.." I gave him my best convincing puppy eyes as I waited for his answer.

"Fine, just hurry it up"

"Thanks, ok so I am very sorry Adrian, I really am, you are a great guy really and I honestly have no idea how you ended up liking me but the point is, I thought I was doing the right thing by dating Julian but truth is.... I really needed to just find myself first."

Adrian raised his head and looked at me, sort of surprised.

"Ok.... how is that going?" he asks.

"Well... its going; and I'm so glad actually, as of right now I am not ready to think about my relationship with you or Julian, but I'm finding myself and guess what?"

He didn't really answer me but he was giving me an expecting look.

"I decided to try out the singing program and do what I love to do"

"Wow Valentina thats awesome"

"I know, I owe it all to God, I had a conversation with him, and a lot of things came to my mind, it was truly amazing to do so, I feel happy again, at least as happy as I can be, In this situation"

"Well, I'm very happy for you"

"Thanks Adrian"

We were both smiling at each other with none other than genuine happiness.

**********************************

After school I went to the schools auditorium.

"Hello darling, what is your name?"

"Hi, my name is Valentina and I will be singing Hollow by Tori Kelly"
