Wow! I can't believe it has been almost a year since this was last updated! I want to thank my reviewers:
Mystery: In the photo, the girl on top is Scarlett Johansson, she suited my vision for Juliet the best, the guy on the bottom is Will Estes, or Jamie Reagan. The words say "What do you do when your past is threatening your future."
Olivia Marie 20: Thanks :) I have been slowly working on this.
Agent077Tomato: Don't worry, I didn't forget about this story. I just hadn't realized that it had been so long since I last updated.
Musicluver246: Thanks :)
Read & Review! :D
CHAPTER 2: He won't be my Romeo
"So our classes start tomorrow?" Brittany asked as we walked into the cafeteria.
"I think so." I replied grabbing up a tray.
Brittany and I slipped into the back of the line up.
"What is this? High school!" I exclaimed as I watched a girl practically throw herself at a guy.
Brittany leaned back and glanced around me and wrinkled her nose in disgust "Oh ya, defiantly high school."
I shook my head "I never understood how women could just shamelessly through themselves at men."
"Because they're whores." Brittany grinned.
I snickered.
"But then again I shouldn't be one to talk, I got labelled as a whore in high school."
"Why?" I asked her, confused.
"The majority of the girls at my school were shallow and vain, there were a few decent guys, and I hung out with them, all the time. It got around that I was sleeping with them. Everyone in the school hated me."
"That's horrible." I exclaimed, I was lucky, I had never been the target of being called a slut or whore.
Brittany shrugged "In reality I'd never even kissed a guy yet. The guys I hung out with knew that, and that was all that mattered."
I smiled "Real friends are more important that fake friends anyway."
Brittany and I grabbed our tray's full of food, and began looking for a table I looked around. The Police Academy cafeteria reminded a lot of my high school cafeteria, the tables seemed to be divided by social status, the popular kids, the geeks, the band nerds, and everyone else. Brittany and I found an empty table near the back.
"So tell me more about your foster mom!" Brittany smiled as we sat down.
I shrugged "Not much to tell, she's in the NYPD, she took me in when I was 15."
"Is that why you decided to join the academy?"
"That's part of it." I glanced at her "I want to be able to help people."
"Can I sit here?" A distinctly male voice asked.
Brittany and I glanced up to see Jamie standing there, a tray of food in his hands.
"Sure." Brittany smiled before I had a chance to say anything.
We sat in silence for a moment, all looking at one another before Brittany sighed and broke the silence "I'm Brittany, and Ms. Silent here is Juliet."
"I'm Jamie." Jamie smiled "Actually, Juliet and I already met, outside at orientation."
"Is that so?" Brittany looked at me, grinning.
I shovelled mashed potatoes in my mouth, so I wouldn't have to do anything more than nod, which I did.

I let out a small squeak as my foot got caught in the rope and I fell to the ground.
"Your in excellent physical shape, your only problem is your clumsy." The instructor stated quietly, glaring down at me before turning back to the class, as I returned to my spot near Jamie "Ms. Anderson is in peak physical condition. I have no shame in saying she is in better shape than most of you."
I blushed, I hated it when people one upped me on other people.
"I'm going to partner you up." He glanced at his clipboard and began rattling off names "Anderson your with Reagan!"
I quickly looked at Jamie who nodded, at that point my mind began going a mile a minute 'a Reagan! Shit shit shit!'
"The person I just partnered you with will be your partner in this class for the rest of your time here. That is unless one of you leaves, or is kicked out. You have an hour before your next class, I advise you use it wisely."
"Yes sir." We all chorused.
"Dismissed."
I quickly moved towards the obstacle course. Trying my hardest to avoid Jamie.
"That was a good run!" Brittany smiled coming up to me "Ten times better than mine!"
"Hey yours was okay." I retorted "You just need to pace yourself."
Brittany shrugged dejectedly.
"Come on. I'll help you."
J/J J/J J/J J/J J/J J/J J/J J/J
"Hey." Jamie called hurrying to catch up with me "Julie!"
I sighed turning to face him "Whats up?"
"Why are you avoiding me?"
"Who said I was avoiding you?" I turned away from him and continued walking.
"That." Jamie grabbed my arm.
The moment I felt his warm finger's wrap around my upper arm I felt a spark. I turned to face him, glaring. Suddenly I had to strange urge to kiss him. I quickly pulled arm from his grasp.
"I should go." I muttered before hurrying to find Brittany.

"So what, you felt like this undeniable attraction?" Brittany asked me that night, sitting cross-legged on her bed, her pillow clutched against her chest.
"Ya. And it was like, one minute I was mad at him, the next I really wanted to kiss him!" I sighed flopping onto my bed and leaning against the cool wall, listening to the rain splatting against the window "I've known the guy for three days, barely!"
"That's so romantic!" Brittany sighed falling backwards on to her bed, grinning.
"I thought it only happened in the movies!" I retorted "I grew up with parents whose marriage was more like a business arraignment than an actual marriage."
Brittany groaned sitting up "That is SO unromantic!"
"I know. I don't really believe in romance anyways."
"How can you not believe in romance?"
I sighed shifting so I was sitting cross-legged "Its not so much that I don't believe in romance, but what it does to people."
"Does to people?"
"Look at Romeo and Juliet. They only knew each other for a few days yet they were willing to die for each other, and they did!"
"But that was a classic love story!"
"It was a tragedy that's going to kick my ass!" I retorted.
On a side note, I am officially DONE high school! Wahoo! Also, I'm hoping the next update won't be so long.
Review! :D
