Author's Note: Hey everyone! This is my first fanfiction ever and it's based on It's Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han. Hope you like it and please review so I know what to change! :)
DISCLAIMER! All rights go to Jenny Han, I do not own anything from the series, I just really loved it.
Belly POV
I just finished my final exams from my freshman year of college at Yale, thanks to my wonderful roommate and BFFL Taylor Jewel. Taylor Jewel has been my best friend for as long as I can remember, we shop together, we study together, pfff, we're basically glued to each other. All of our time is spent together except summer. Summer is when the glue seems to magically unbind. I spend every one going to the summer house in Cousins, where Jeremiah and Conrad are waiting for us, and where Susannah used to be waiting for us, gawd I miss her. After exams, I am finally able to go home to my mom and Steven, until we go to Cousins, that is. All last night Taylor and I studied, except for the occasional cookie break to keep our sugar high. I was pretty sure I aced my finals, I don't know about Taylor, though. It's time to find out.
"Hey girl! How'd you do?" Taylor came running up to me. I still can't figure out how she can run in those pumps.
"I'm pretty sure I aced all of mine, you?"
"Well," oh god, did she fail? "They were a lot easier than I thought, I might have aced them all, too. The study session really helped!"
"That's great! They helped me, too. Although I had my doubts when you started the sentence off with well…"
Taylor made a face "You thought I failed?"
"Well..."
Tay grinned "I thought I was gonna, too."
"Ready to celebrate?"
We ran hand in hand to our dorm room.
Taylor POV
We were having a blast. We got pizza delivered to our dorm and Here's to Never Growing Up by Avril Lavigne was blaring on the speakers. Most people had already left campus to start their summer, so there was nothing to lose. At this point in time I do not have a boyfriend. Belly does, though.
"Bye Jere, see you soon," Belly said into her phone. She had to tell him about finals.
Belly turned around and smiled. "Tay, guess what!" I looked at her quizzically. "Jere's on his way!"
Oh yea, I thought to myself. "That's great, Anika's coming, too."
She looked surprised. "Really! I can't wait!"
I shot her a look. "You're still my number 1 BFF, you know. Nobody can ever replace that." Belly said.
I reached out for a hug and whispered in her ear "I'm not your BFF" I pulled away and smiled. Belly had a hurt look on her face. "What?" She stuttered. "I'm your sister!" Relief flooded Belly's eyes and we hugged again. "Same here."
Right then Anika walked in "what did I miss out on?"
"Oh nothing just me and Belly being emotional, you know how we can be," we all shared a knowing smile.
Belly, Anika, and I all started dancing crazy, which BTW, was the song on the radio. Belly took a sip of her fruit punch "I think I'm gonna break up with Jere this afternoon."
Anika and I abruptly stopped and stared at her in shock. "What!?" we yelled in unison. Belly repeated herself a little quieter this time "I think I'm gonna break up with Jere," she was looking down and silently crying.
"Why, did he do something?" I comforted, rubbing circles on her back. Anika took her hand, "We'll be supportive of all of your decisions, but can I ask why?"
"I just don't feel the spark anymore, every time we touch or our lips meet I feel nothing."
"Wow, I thought you two were soul mates. Kind of like you thought you and Conrad used to be."
She cried even more at the mention of Conrad and I hugged her. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that" "It's ok, I'm glad you did. He's gonna hate me for this," Belly cried out.
Anika and I each grabbed a tissue off my desk and wiped her tears away. She smiled "thank you guys for understanding and being here for me." "Anytime."
Jeremiah knocked on the door and Belly ran to the bathroom to get cleaned up and told us to cover for her.
Anika opened the door, Jere looked shocked. "Oh, hey Anika. I was expecting Bell or Taylor to open the door, Belly didn't mention you were gonna be here."
"I told Belly when she bro-, hung up with you," whoops, I'm glad I caught myself.
"Where is Belly?" "In the bathroom" The bathroom door opened and Belly walked out with her make-up repaired.
Jeremiah and Belly were hugging. Belly thought 'this is the last time I'm gonna smell his scent. Wait, this isn't his scent, it smells kind of like…' "You look cute toda-" Jere started to say when Belly cut him off. She pulled away and screamed "What the hell, Jere!"
