Beauty Inside

Chapter 7

Summer's POV

I was shocked. I'm still in shock.

Last night before I went to bed, Justin commented on my picture.

Everything about you is beautiful.

I can't believe it. I don't even know how he found me, but he did. Justin Bieber called me beautiful. But I could only see it as some type of pity for me from seeing the comments. I mean, Justin Bieber thinks I'm beautiful? Boys at my own school don't even think that. Why would he ever think that? Hah. That's impossible.

"Are you ready to enter the gates of hell?" Caity yelled from the bathroom.

"I guess I don't have a choice." I yelled back. I grabbed my backpack and everything else I brought here because after school I was going back home. We both walked out her house, and got inside the car.

The first five minutes of the car ride, neither Caity or I exchanged words. I was trying to prevent the conversation that Caity was only dying to talk about. She looked like a bubble ready to pop.

"Okay fine. Say what you have to say!" I couldn't help but let out a small laugh. The first laugh I've had in days... It felt good.

"How the heck did he find you?! I mean fucking Justin Bieber commented on your picture! And not just any comment but he called you beautiful! Justin Bieber called my best friend beautiful! Now everyone else can fuck off!"

I didn't even think about what everyone else would think. Did anyone from the school even see it? I highly doubt it since it was so late last night, and no one really pays attention to me anyway.

"Just promise me one thing?" I turned to face her.

"Sure!" she answered back.

"Don't tell anyone about anything that has happened this past week."

"Are you serious?" She quickly glanced at me making sure not to take her eyes off the road for too long.

"Yes, I am! The last thing I want is all that attention."

"Fine. But have one of those bitches say something and I will proudly stick my foot up their ass." I couldn't help but laugh.

"And that's why you're my bestfriend."

"I know!"Caity smiled cheerfully, flipping her hair to the side.

"This week has just been crazy." I said looking out the window.

"You can say that again." Caity turned up the volume as both of us said nothing else as we approached Lakewood.

After about 15 minutes we pulled up to the school. I didn't really realize how nervous I was to go back to class until my stomach started churning as I walked closer and closer to the building.

But something was off. Everyone was looking at me. Everyone was whispering. I didn't know why, so I just kept my head down, tucking my bangs behind my ear, walking to my first class.

"I don't think you have to worry a about me saying anything anymore." Caity whispered to me. "Look's like its already been said!"

Great.

...

School was way different than I expected. No one except Caity and a few friends actually talked to me, but it seemed like almost everyone was. My name and Justin's was mixed around in pretty much everyone's conversation that I walked by. I was just so overwhelmed and all I really wanted to do was focus on school. Especially since college admissions were just right around the corner, and I was ready to leave this shithole of a school. All throughout the day people asked me questions on how I knew Justin, or whether or not I was really friends with him. Jessica and her friends even had the nerve to say I hacked his account and made the comment myself. I just simply shrugged my shoulders replying with an "I don't know." at everyone's questions the whole day.
