Chapter 18
Anger boiled inside of me.
I normally don’t get this angry but she was really pushing my buttons.
I wanted to rip her head off and throw it in the pit of hell.
Luck put his hand on my shoulder. “Calm down Vi,”
“I am calm,” I snapped.
I stormed over there and as I did I was Josh push he off of him.
“Get the hell away from me,”
“Aw baby don’t be like that” she said walking back up to him.
“Um, excuse me. who are you calling MY man ‘baby’?” I snapped stepping in front of her.
“Last time I checked-” I cut her off.
“Don’t talk just listen. I’m sorry that you don’t like me and I’m sorry your heart is broken and I’m sorry that Josh left you for someone he actually loves. But its time for you to move on. I’m tried of your crap. All of it, Next time I see you on tip of him, I promise you I will beat the living crap out of you. Are we clear?” I looked her in the eye and never looked away.
There was a crowd staring to form.
“Oh yeah well-”
“I didn’t ask for that I asked are we clear?”
She looked at me shocked, then walked away.
The crowd around us started clapping.
The gang came running up to us.
“I can’t believe you did that” Demi laughed.
“Well, someone had to” Susan said,
“That and I good slap in the face,” Mike said.
“Well, she was getting on my nerves” I said as I turned to face Josh.
He smiled at me. “Thanks” he smiled.
“No problem,” I said standing on my toes and kissed him.
He wrapped his arms around me and lifted my up and spun me around.
The crowd clapped, awed and whistled.
“Okay, break it up,” I heard a teacher say. “Stop kissing and move to your next class,”
We broke apart smiling and laced our fingers together and walked to class.

On Friday night I went to Josh’s basketball game.
They won 108 to 48.
After the game we went to an after party.
We were partying for two reasons.
One reason is because the basketball team won and the other reason is because it was the start of spring break.
The whole school was at, I think his name was Kevin, Kevin’s house. well not the whole school, but the majority was there.
The boys got to the party before us, girls.
The house was blasting with loud music. There were people dancing, talking, eating, and kissing.
There was a lot of beer going around too.
Josh promised me that he wouldn’t drink- to much.
Josh and I danced most of the night.
****
The next morning I woke up and Josh wasn’t next to me.
As I sat up Josh walked in fully dressed and smiling.
“Pack your bags, babe,”
“Why?” I asked getting out of bed. I grabbed my clothes off the floor and walked to my closet.
“Me and you are going to my family’s beach house in Italy”
“Italy?”
“Yeah, we leave tonight, but we have a quick stop to make,”
“Where?”
“Harvard,”
“You want to go to Harvard?”
“Yeah, it’s not to far away from home,”
“Okay,” I said pulling on my jeans.
After I got dressed and eat I packed my bags.
My parents wished us a good time and gave us plenty of money.
Josh came to pick me up, he had left to get packed.
****
Eight hours later we got on a plane to Italy.
Josh’s parent’s got us a first class plane.
Two hours later we arrived in Italy.
I was so excited.
I was in Italy with Josh.
Josh found our stuff and helped carry it out.
He found a taxi driver and walked up to him. “Do you speak English?”
The man said something in Italian.
Josh answered back in Italian. They had a three minute conversation.
The man then took our bags and threw them in the trunk.
“I didn’t know you can speak Italian”
He chuckled. “My grandparents taught me, I visit them every summer and I have to talk to them in Italian,”
“That’s so cool,”
He put he arm around my shoulders as we walked to the taxi.
As we drove to the house Josh gave the taxi driver directions to the beach house.
“What time is it?” I asked
“My watch says is six fifty” Josh said, he then asked the driver what time it was.
The driver answered back as he pulled up to a small beautiful house.
“it’s almost one o’clock in the morning and we’re here,” Josh said getting out.
I followed him out and got out bags.
Josh paid the taxi driver and helped carry out luggage inside.
Inside was just as beautiful.
It was small and cozy, I really liked it.
I dropped our bags in the floor of our room and clasped on the bed.
“I’m tried” I said.
“Same, I’m going to take a shower then I’ll join you or you could join me in the shower”
“Nah” I said closing my eyes.
He chuckled and walked in the bathroom.
When I heard the shower turn on I slowly fell asleep.
