Chapter 22: No Biggie

*Justin*

Did you know the female period goes on for an entire week?! I have never bought so much ice cream and chips in my life. First she was cold then she was hot, I'm tired, I'm sad, I'm hungry.
You know she actually cried and said she had no idea why she was crying! Then when I went to hold her she yelled at me!
It was awful but its over now.
I walked down stairs and saw Belle up and in the kitchen.
The first thing I noticed was the table. Set.
I don't think I have seen our table set in years. I haven't even eaten at it in years.
Then the smell of eggs and bacon hit my nose, I almost fall over !
"What is all this?" I have probably the biggest smile on my face right now and I can't even comprehend it.
She giggles and takes a plate of bacon past me and to the table.
"Please, sit." She tells me.
I go to the table and take a seat.
"I wanted to thank you for putting up with me all week, so I made breakfast." She says.
"Ah, it was no big deal, I could handle it." I say sitting back in my chair.
"But really it was no biggie. Thank you for all this." I say motioning to the food.
"This was no biggie." She laughs. We both start eating and before we know it they school day has started.

"So you're dating her." Kyle says to me in algebra.
"Would you keep your voice down, and no. Nothing has been set in stone." I say seeing Jessica looking at me.
"Just can't believe you choose her over me."
"Told you he wouldn't take it well." Damien says.
"Dude, I still love you. I just adore Belle a lot more." I pat his head.
"Yeah yeah." Kyle pouts.
I laugh and go back to my work.
Trying to do work and trying not think about Belle is probably the hardest thing I have ever tried to do.
I see her face in the equation. This is crazy.
I blink my eyes and try to focus. Then Mr James calls on me to answer the question on the board. I sit up and open my mouth but then close it.
I have no clue what he is talking about.
"Um,"
"Pay attention or just leave." He snaps.
"Awe is some one having trouble focusing?" Damien plays with me.
"Shut up." I grumble.
"Dude honestly you should just ask. The school year is ending. You two could be summer sweethearts!" He says.
"No way. You know Justin can't keep a girl." Kyle juts in.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"I mean, remember Amanda, and Sue, and Haley, and Jessica." He shudders.
"What's your point?" I ask.
"All those girls ended up leaving you because you couldn't control your temper." He raises an eyebrow at me.
"I mean yeah but Justin has been doing way better since he's been with Belle." Damien backs me up.
"That is true." I say.
"But what if something happens, and you get mad?" Kyle questions.
"Then I'll control it." I say.
"You can say that but you have to make sure you actually do it." Kyle tell me.
"Belle has put up with Justin and his anger longer than any other girl." Damien points out. "I really think they will be alright."
"You know what day is coming up." Kyle says quietly.
Damien and I look at him in confusion.
"In two days it will be the anniversary of Johnathan.." he trails off and looks at me.
I almost forgot.
"Oh boy," Damien breathes, "Justin-"
I stand up and walk out the classroom leaving the two of them to look at each other. To my luck the bell rang so Mr James couldn't say anything to me.
Now I'm in what is probably the worst mood ever.
Fuck!
I really did forget about Johnny. Damn! How could I ? I wish they never brought it up. If I did forget maybe this year I would've been able to move on.
As I'm walking I see Belle and Tabby.
I'm not in the mood but I don't want Belle to suspect anything so I apply my best smile and say hey to the both of them, giving Belle a hug. I look into her sea green eyes and tuck a hair behind her ear. For a second I feel better, all my problems really do melt away when I'm with her.
"And what am I, chop liver?" Tabby folds her arms.
I laugh and give her a hug before walking away. I hope that was convincing enough, but something tells me Belle is on to me.
I turn to see Damien and Kyle talking to Belle and Tabby. Well more like Damien and Belle laughing at Tabby as Kyle puts his arm around her.
I turn back around and run into Luke who just smiles at me and pats my shoulders.
I think I'm just going to skip the rest of the day.
