I Promise You

(60) Back to School

"What do you think has changed, other than my favorite Australian - American twins conquering New York?" I asked the small group that was with me right now. "Well, I'm all new" Cindra said. "Sorry Cin, but you are last years news" I told her. "Blah blah" She said and smiled as soon as she spotted Alden. "Is it just me or did he get hotter over the summer?" She asked "Just go and talk to him already!" I said. "I'll see you guys later" She said and walked off.

"Hello Fray" Somebody said and without thinking I turned around. "I knew it was you!" Austin said and I turned back around. "Promise?" Jesse asked, but I tried to avoid answering to his question. "Oh look at the time" I said and wanted to rush off, but he held me back. "I know it's you Fray! I know since the concert!" Austin said and I turned back around "Fine, it is me. Promise Copeland" I said "Happy now?!" "I actually am. Wanna do something later?" He asked.

"No, I'm busy!" I said "With my boyfriend" "Hi, I'm Jesse. Her boyfriend" He introduced himself to Austin. "Nice to meet you. You are sure a lucky guy" He said and Jesse smiled at me "I know" He said, put his arm around me and walked off with me. "What's the next class?" He asked and I rolled my eyes "Music" I told him.

Just a short time later we were sitting next to each other in music class, somewhere in the back. "Miriam" I shouted and she was walked over to us and sat down "Ready for a new school year? Especially since it's the last" I asked. "I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be" She said, but nothing could prepare us for what happened next and no, I don't mean Austin Weaver walking through the door and sitting down next to Miriam.

It was an old familiar face that walked into the class room together with Mr. Ydris. "Welcome to Senior year. As all of you know Senior year music class is different than you know it" Mr. Ydris started to explain. "We have our dance instructor Mr. Oakland and our guitar teacher Mr. Brighder" He continued and I looked at Miriam. "What the hell is he doing here?!" I asked her and she just shrugged. "You know him?" Jesse asked surprised. "Alexander Oakland is the boyfriend of a girl I met two years ago that dropped me when they found out I was just 15" I told him. "And the other one is Josh Brighder, Weaver's bandmate" I said.

"You're in a band with your teacher?" Jesse asked Austin confused. "Yeah, it's pretty cool actually" Austin said, but I don't think Jesse really cared about the answer. 

We then were put into different groups. Mine was Jesse, Austin, Lennon and I. "Okay, let's start your dance training" Mr. Oakland said. "Sure Alexander" I said and he turned around and faced me "How did you just call me?" He asked. "Alexander. Of course you don't remember me" I said and let go of Jesse and walked towards him. "You wanna go to the principal?!" He asked and I laughed "You really think you can push me around, just because I'm still a minor. Like I was two years ago when I befriended your girlfriend Lauren, who had dropped me after figuring out I was just 15" I tried to jock his memory.

"Lauren and I aren't together anymore" He said and turned around "Can I have your names please?" He asked. "Lennon Germaine, ignore that freak" She said. "Jesse Ashcroft and you better ignore that bitch. Saves lives" He introduced himself. "Austin Weaver and I don't know anyone but Fray" He said. "Clary. If that name rings a bell. Anca hotel, Canada" I said and I think he slowly got what I was talking about. "You aren't good with younger people, so why become a teacher?" I asked, not letting go. "Prom, let it go!" Jesse said. "I thought your name is Clary" Mr. Oakland asked confused. "I'm Promise Clarissa Copeland, also known as Mrs. Troublemaker" I said and went to sit down next to my boyfriend, who immediately put his arm around me, pulling me as close as he could.

"Ok..ay.." Alexander or Mr. Oakland, or however said and was hoping to get back to his lesson. We ended up dancing. Austin's dancing looked okay, I guess. He was a drummer and they usually don't dance. Jesse was actually a pretty good dancer. "Okay, now just follow my lead and put your own style into them" He said. We listened to him and since I was a gymnast, dancing was pretty easy for me.

After class we met up in the media club room "I'm starting to hate Music class!" I said as I dropped down on the couch "First Oakland, then Austin and if that wouldn't be enough, Lennon" I said. Jesse sat down beside me and I laid my head on his shoulder "This gonna be some interesting Senior year" I said and he laughed. "You do know you are sweaty, right?" He asked and I lifted my head "I took a shower!" I said and pushed him playfully. "But I didn't" He laughed. "Stop lying! I can breath next to you, so I know you are lying!" I said.

"How do you know me so well already?" He asked me. "We are together since almost six months and I have known you before. Believe me, I know you idiot!" I said and kissed his cheek. "And still with that nickname" He said and laid his head back. "You know I love you" I said. "Do you?" He asked and I nod "Of course I do" I said and laid my head on his chest.

"You two are so cute I wanna puke" Cindra said. "Then talk to Alden!" I almost yelled. "Shut up!" Cindra said. "Oh come on! He likes you as well!" I said and in that moment Alden walked into the room. "Promise!?" Alden asked shocked and look at me, then at Cindra. "Cindra likes you, Alden and Alden likes you, Cindra" I said, got up and pulled Jesse up as well "Have a nice talk" I said and we left the room.

"That was mean of you" Jesse said, but I only smirked "I know, but I had to do something. Maybe they would have even died, keeping their feelings from each other!" I said and Jesse rolled his eyes "Miss overdramatic!"

A/N

So, I have a few things to say:

1. My New Family reached 100K so thank you guys so much for reading, voting and commenting. I love reading your comments.

2. I'm gonna finish this book soon. I actually intended to make one bigger storyline, but I'm not gonna do it, just mention it in one of Promise's blogs. I'm also gonna skip most of the school year, since I wanna finish this book and start on the last one of this series, which is still unnamed.
