Jane by Design is back and so am I! Saw the new episode today and had to write a scene between them. I'm working on one from tonight's episode as well. I'll try to post it today or tomorrow. Anyway, I'm so excited it's back!

This scene is from episode 6, The Image Issue


Always

Billy was perched on a stool cleaning a golf club as I sat on the back of the cart next to him.

"A day which will live in infamy?" He quoted questioningly.

"You total flunked that presentation" he chuckled.

I laughed along with him.

"I can't believe we pulled it off!"

"I know! Did you see India's face when she saw you through the window? I thought you were had"

"Yeah you and me both" I replied remembering the moment of dread when I saw India Jourdain through the window in my classroom.

"Well that's because you and me…" Billy said trailing off.

"…we always do alright" I finished.

"Always" Billy echoed, pulling out another golf club. He said it with such confidence too. It made my heart swell and sink at the same time. I thought back to how I had been treating him recently. I looked up apologetically.

"I'm sorry that I gave you such a hard time about your new look. You're right. You are always there for me, and I really should have been there for you with this"

I mean after everything he still ran around the school leading me down hallways and up staircases trying to hide me away from India.

Billy smiled.

"It's okay" and just like that I was forgiven.

He got off the stool, coming to sit down next to me.

"So now that you've had a few days to let the new "do" sink in, give me an honest evaluation"

I sat up straighter looking at him, trying to evaluate his appearance as if the old Billy hadn't existed. It didn't work though. His fauxhawk was too familiar to me and he'd been sporting it since the seventh grade. It was part of the Billy I loved.

"Honestly?" I asked

"Yeah" he replied nodding.

"I still hate it" I said promptly.

"But you're my best friend…" I continued, nudging his shoulder, "and you've been my best friend since third grade…" I took his arm in mine, "and I love you" I said looking right at him, "No matter how ridiculous you look" I added. And I really did. "Preppy" Billy was still my Billy and I would love him. Always.

He smiled and laughed. I put my hand on his head and ruffled his hair into a more messy style. He closed his eyes and leaned towards me.

"That's better"


Leave me a review and let me know what you think of these. I would really appreciate it!
