2022-07-15 20:53:36"Have you changed your mind about going to the party tomorrow night, Julie?" Beth asked.
"I don't know as yet." I said taking a bite of my Nutella sandwich. "Maybe."
Beth sighs. "Please say yes. I can't go alone."
Bethany Davis and I were currently in the cafeteria having our lunch. I really did not want to go the party, but I did not want to let my best friend down.
I look at her and sigh heavily "Okay, I will go."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." She chants and I shake my head at her enthusiasm.
Through the corner of my eyes, I saw Liam Black enters the cafeteria and went to buy his lunch. After buying his lunch, he went and sit at the far corner of the cafeteria by himself.
Liam was always sitting by himself and he doesn't talk to anyone. I don't know, but the mysterious aura around him makes him a little intriguing. He didn't keep friends and no one took any interest in him. They just avoid him all together. He was good looking though, with his messy black hair and deep blue eyes.
Why didn't he talk to anyone?
Was he shy?
Antisocial?
Does he not like peo-?
I was brought from my thoughts, when I hear Beth calling my name. I looked over at her.
"Who were you staring at just now? You did not hear a word I just said." Beth accuses.
"I am sorry. I was just staring at Liam." I said admittedly.
"You mean the boy over there that keeps to himself?" She questions in surprise and I nod. "Don't you dare think about befriending him. I know you love to brighten everyone's day, but this kid is different. I have a few classes with him and believe me he doesn't want to be disturbed, I know."
"I don't know, I just feel like I should do something." I replied.
"If you think you must, but remember I warned you." Beth said.
The bell rang and we both head for our next class. I was just turning from my locker when I jumped. Someone was leaning beside my locker and I gasp. I look up to see who it was.
It was the hottest boy in school, Nate Benjamin. He smiles at me. "I didn't mean to scare you."
"I-I-It's okay." I stutter. Oh my God, I can't believe he is talking to me. He was really cute with blond hair and green eyes.
"Well, I wanted to ask you something." He said.
"Oh, okay." I said simply, trying to play it cool.
"Are you going to Matt Lanter's party tomorrow night?" He asked. "I was wondering if we could go together?"
OMG!! Someone please pinch me!
Nate wants me to go to the party with him?
Like on a date?
"Yes, I would love to." I said trying to act normal.
He gave me his killer smile and winked. "Pick you up at 7. See you then."
"See you then." I said and head to my class.
I was going to a party with Nate Benjamin, one of the hottest guys in school. I was so lucky!

"Oh my God! You look beautiful!" Screamed Beth.We were in my room getting ready for the party. It took three hours to get dressed and apply our makeup. And now we were both done and was looking at ourselves in the mirror.My long brown hair was curled and came down in waves down my shoulders. I had on light makeup of mascara and pink lipstick. I was in a white tank top with flowers on it and a black skinny jeans. I wore a white slippers on my feet.I have to admit, I looked amazing. "Yes, I know. You too."She smiles and looks at herself. She was wearing a red tank top blouse and black jeans. Her black hair was also curled and loose around her shoulders. She smiled "Yeah, but you are going to knock Nate off his feet."I roll my eyes. "I don't know about that."It was now 7pm and Nate was going to be here any minute."I have to go, my ride is going to be here any minute." Beth said excitedly.Oh! Did I mention she has a boyfriend? She does and she is head over heels in love with him.

After the party on Friday, the weekend was uneventful. Beth came over on Saturday worried, wondering why I left the party. I told her what had happened and she was furious. She couldn't believe what Nate wanted to do. I agreed with her. I couldn't believe that was the reason he asked me to the party.It was now Monday and I was getting ready for school. I went downstairs to the smell of bacon and pancakes. My mom was in the kitchen. She smiles when she saw me."Morning honey." She greets."Morning Mom." I said. I went over to the table and sat down. She brought a plate of pancakes and bacon to me. I ate as quickly as possible as I did not want to be late for school.After I finished eating, I went back upstairs to brush my teeth. I came back downstairs and kiss my mom on the cheek."Bye Mom, love you." I said."I love you too, sweetie. Do you want a ride to school?" She asks."That's okay, I will take the bus." I reassure her."Okay, if you insist. Be careful." She said."I will." I s

The next day at school, I was heading to my locker to change my books for second period, when I saw Nate leaning against my locker. I went up to him. "Move out of my way." I demand. I was getting tired of his behaviour now. "Why don't you make me, bitch." He returns smirking. "I know you want to get your hands all over my body.""I would rather stick my fingers in a blender that is turned on!" I hiss angrily."Come on babe, that wasn't the reaction I was getting at the party when you could not keep your hands off me." He said aloud for everyone to hear. By this time, people stop doing what they were doing and stare at the both of us."You were the one that had your hands all over me at the party, remember? Sorry to get your ego deflated, but unlike all the other girls that is dying for your attention, I would rather not see you or talk to you." I said. I watch as his eyes turns cold and he looks at me angrily. He made a step towards me, but I back up."Get away from her, you jerk."

Two days has passed since my visits to Liam's and he was back to being the cold, emotionless boy at the back of the class. We have worked on our project in those days and we have finished it. It was hard to imagine us swimming together only two days ago. Well, we didn't exactly swim together, because he just stood there.I would talk to him, but he would withdraw and placed those hard to break walls around him. Some of the times he looked really sad, but I never question him about it, figuring he needed his personal space. People would give me weird looks wondering why I was talking to Liam and I would hear people whispering in the hallways, but I didn't care because I really liked Liam and I think he could use a friend. Right now I was in math class with Beth working out problems on the sheet of paper that our teacher gave us. Beth calls my name and I look over to my left at her."Are you going to the school dance next week Friday?" She whispers."I totally forgot about that. But y

"Hey, what are you still doing at school?" I asked as I sat on the grass beside Liam. He turned to look at me, then back in front of him.He sighed, "Do you ever give up?""No, can't say I have." I shrugged."Well you should. There is a first time for everything." He said."Why do you push people away, Liam?" I asked. He looked out into space and continues to ignore me. We sat there in silence for two minutes before he spoke."Look, is it Julia?" I nod and he continues. "Why do you keep talking to me? Normally, when I tell someone to get lost, they don't bother me again.""I don't know. I just think that you could use a friend." I replied. Plus, I was way yo nice for my own good."Well don't bother." He said quietly.I decided to change the subject. "I didn't see you in art class today.""I hate art. I'm no good at it." He said simply. I was surprised he actually answered my question."Art is optional." I stated confused. "If you hate it, why do it?" He turned to look at me then and o

It was now Monday after first period and I was heading to my locker. Over the weekend, I had really enjoyed myself with my parents.My dad had took us to the city fair and in the evening, he took us to a nice restaurant to have dinner. I had a great time. Even though he works a lot, he would always find time for his family. On Sunday, we all stayed home and had a family night.As soon as I reached my locker, I put in my books and took out my books for art class. I closed my locker and went upstairs to class. I went into the classroom and noticed that easels were set up with canvases all over the classroom. I became excited. I guess we were painting today. I went to the back of the classroom and sat on a stool in front of a canvas.Two minutes later, I saw Liam walk in. I noticed that all the other canvases were taken, except the one beside mine. He came to the back and sat down. I didn't say anything to him. I didn't want to seem pushy and I also wanted to give him his space. I was ac

"Oh my God. Just look at that." Bethany said, sounding disgusted. I looked over in the direction of the cafeteria that she indicated.I saw that that she was referring to Nate. He was behaving rowdily and was being a nuisance in the cafeteria. He was shouting loudly and knocking on the table. He had four girls hanging off his arms.I shook my head and turned back around. "I can't believe I went out with that guy. He is so full of himself.""There was no way you could have known that. After all, he never showed his true colours until now." Beth said."Well, I'm glad I got to see him for the douche he really is." I replied."Amen to that." Beth said and continues eating her lunch. "Hey, by the way, for the dance tomorrow. Are we getting ready at my house or yours?" She asked."Yours." I said. "I will come at 1 o' clock.""Okay."----------The following day was Friday and Bethany and I were getting ready for the dance. We had already done our makeup and now we were putting on our dresse

On Monday in art class, I was surprised that Liam came and sat beside me. He also started a conversation with me first. I don't know why, but I was glad that he was starting to feel comfortable around me. Even if it was just a little bit.As soon as art class was finished, I packed up my bag quickly and run to catch Liam before he disappeared again."Hey, do you want to eat lunch with me today?" I asked Liam as soon as I was near him."I normally eat outside by myself." He answered."I know that, but eat with us today. It's just my best friend and I. She is great. You will like her."He looks at me, deliberating for quite some time, before he responds. "Okay." I smile widely at his response."Great. Come on then." I said and we walk to the cafeteria. We ordered our lunch and I walk over to my seat where Bethany was already sitting. Liam followed behind me."Beth, Liam is joining us for lunch today." I said to Beth as soon as I reach the table. She looks up at Liam and gives him a warm

"Is Liam going to the prom with you on Friday?" Bethany asks me as we walk to our mathematics class.I shrug. "I don't think so. Dances are not his scene. He told me that before.""Oh okay." Beth said."If he doesn't want to go, I understand. I'm not going to hold that against him. I'm still going to go to prom and enjoy myself." I said, smiling at her.She grins back. "Oh yes and remember that you are a prom queen nominee." She said in a singsong voice.I groan when she said that. I didn't really care for prom queen, but Jasmine had nominated me when I was in the hospital. I didn't even know. I was shocked when I heard my name being called over the intercom as a prom queen nominee last month. I didn't even campaign because I didn't care to win.After a while Jasmine adds. "By the way, I snuck in and saw the work you guys did on the decorations. I like it." She compliments."Yes it is." I said smiling in reminiscence at the work we had done.A month back, I had went to help Simone wit

Julia's POVI awoke the next morning, feeling more rested. As soon as I open my eyes, I find Liam watching me.I stretch and smile at him. "Were you watching me sleep?" I ask."Yes." He said, returning my smile. "I love watching you."My smile broaden at his comment. I then look over at the table near the window. It was laden with get-well cards and flowers. I saw them yesterday, but was too tired to really look at them.Liam follows my line of sight and looks at the flowers as well. "A lot of your friends visited and brought those." He explains. He then points at a bunch of purple flowers. "Those are from me.""There are all beautiful." I said quietly.He then gestures to the room. "And this room that you are in, is courtesy of my dad. He paid to have you moved into this comfortable room with everything you need."My eyes widen. "Your dad paid for this room?" He nods. "Wow...I guessed I really missed a lot." I didn't know that he was talking to his dad again."Yeah. He came yesterday

Liam's POVAnother day has passed and now today was Wednesday. After school, I decided to go to the park, just to think about things. It was very hard to go through something like this again. However, no matter how heartbroken and devastated I am, I will never turn my back on her. I will never leave her. I know deep down that she needs me more than ever.I soon left the park and went to the hospital. I pass Julia's parents in the hallway, as they both headed to the hospital's cafeteria. They both had left work early and was here since then. After talking to them a little bit, I went up to Julia's room. I walk over to the chair that was beside her bed and sit down.I was in the room for ten minutes, when I hear a light knock on the door. I look towards the doorway and see that it was my mother. She begins to walk towards me and I get up to meet her halfway."Liam, your father is here to see you." She said. I was about to tell her that he was the last person I wanted to see right now, b

Liam's POVThe weekend had come and gone, but Julia still hadn't woken up. It has now been four days and I was beginning to think the worse.Today was now Monday and I have decided to go to school. Even though, I didn't want to, I knew that I had to, because I couldn't keep skipping school. I was currently at home getting ready for school. I still hadn't eaten a full meal, only small bites and my mother was beginning to worry about me.As soon as I was ready, I got in my car and drive to school. When I reach school, I park in the parking lot and get out. I enter the school building and walk to my locker. Students in the hallway gave me looks; some were sympathetic and some were just blank. I held my head straight and ignore them. I didn't feel like dealing with anyone right now.I get my books out of my locker and went to my first class of the day. Mathematics was one of my favourite subjects, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't concentrate. My maths teacher was currently expla

Liam's POVThe following day was Friday and Julia still hadn't woken up. There was no improvement; her condition was the same. Yesterday, I had went home to have a shower, changed my clothes and bring back anything that I would need. I came back to the hospital right after.My mother had called me to try and convince me to go to school today, but I still refused. Surprisingly, she didn't argue with me. Julia's parent hadn't been to work either. They had asked for two days off. Beth and Brian did not go to school today either, but Brian had took Beth home to get some things.I was currently sitting on the chair that I had been on since I got to the hospital. I suddenly look up to see Dr. Barnes walking towards us.He greets us with a smile. "Julia can be visited by friends now." He relates. I nod my head at him, before he walks away again. I get up from my seat and begin to walk towards room 205.When I reach the door, I open it and step inside the room. Instantly, my eyes went to Juli

Liam's POVIt was now around 7pm and I was still at the hospital. I didn't plan on leaving, not until Julie wakes up.Julia's mom was asleep on the chair that she was on. Her father had went home to get some blankets to bring here. Beth was asleep as well. Her head was placed in Brian's lap, who was stroking her hair gently. He looks tired as well."Liam!" I hear my mother's voice. I look down the corridor and saw her walking towards me. I had called her earlier and informed her about what had happened. She said she would be here as soon as she left work.I stand up to meet her. She wraps her arms around me in a hug, when she reaches me. "I'm so sorry, honey." She said quietly. She pulls away and looks at me with a sad expression. "How is she? Have you heard anymore news?"I sigh and shoves my hands in my pants pockets. "No. No development." I answer, my voice cracking a bit."Oh honey." Her eyes then trails over to where Julia's mother lay, still asleep. "I can imagine what her mothe

Liam's POVAs soon as I left my mother's work place, I drove in the direction of Julia's house.I smile when I thought about her. This girl has really changed me. Changed me back into who I was before and maybe more. She has that effect on people. She is sweet, kind and she cares about people. I like that about her. I have always pushed people away before, so I never knew that I could like someone this much. She makes me so happy.Her natural cheerfulness and excitement is contagious. I don't know how she does it. Her easy smile, that lights up her entire face, makes my heart race every time. I don't know what this girl is doing to me, but I know that I have never felt this way before.I was going to ask her to be my girlfriend today at school, but my phone rang and then that girl came along and I didn't want to ask her in a rush. I wasn't even scared to make that commitment, because I'm sure about how I feel about her. She is everything to me and I'm going to let her know that.I fin

At the end of the day on Wednesday, I was standing by my locker waiting on Liam. He had told me this morning that he had something to ask me and I was curious as to what it was.Finally, I see him walking towards me. When he reaches where I stood, he smiles at me. Before I could get a word out, he wraps his hands around my waist and kissed me.Even though, he took me by surprise, I melted into the kiss. The kiss did not last long, as he pulls away a few seconds later. He takes my hand in his and smiles down at me. I look at him quizzically."So, I know tha-" he began, but was cut off by the ringing of his phone.He gives me an apologetic smile, before he fished his phone out of his pocket. "Hello." he said into the receiver. He talked to the person for a few seconds, before he hangs up."That was my mom." He said, putting the phone back into his pocket. "She has left some documents at home. She can't leave the office, so she asked me if I can go get them and bring them to her." He exp

The following day, I got ready for school quickly and went downstairs to the kitchen. I saw my father in the kitchen as soon as I entered."Good morning Dad." I greet."Morning Julie." Dad responds as he poured himself a glass of orange juice."Where is Mom?" I ask as I got a bowl, the milk and the box of cheerios."Your mother has already left for work." He informs. As soon as I finish making my cereal, I sat down at the kitchen island to eat.I look up at Dad, who was now at the sink, rinsing out his glass. "So, aren't you going to work?" I ask. Normally, he would have left by now."I'm going in late today." He replies, turning off the tap. He then turns to me and smiles. "That's good isn't it? That means we can have a father-daughter time." He teases."Dad, I have school." I said, even though I knew he was joking. That was who Dad was. People would say that I got my cheerfulness and happy-go-lucky personality from him. Which is true."Oh yeah." He said, faking a sigh. "So much for
