"I'm going to end this book on Chapter 17, so we have 6 more chapters to go"
I never spoke to her after our kiss. Most likely, cause I was a bit of nervous and had no idea if she was secretly stashing beer in her bag and was drinking. Please tell me she doesn't…
That's when I decided to speak to her for the history project. It was due next week and we never went to the 'place' ever since I got hurt. As soon as we went to our groups for history, I started to speak , saying "Um.. Hey Janine". She looked at me with a serious face before snapping "What do you want"
"I'm sorry" I apologized to her and to show her I mean it, I hung my head in shame. I perked up a bit when she wasn't looking and she was smiling and laughing silently to herself. When she finally looked at me, I quickly hung my head in shame, Again.
"I'm not that stupid, I know what you did" she answered. "Plus, your scared that I was lying when I said I loved you, right" she asked. I nodded slightly. "I wasn't lying, in fact since we're dating we can go to the place my dad showed me for the history project" she replied. "Ok, I accept it… Is everything ok at home" I whispered to her.
"No, not really, my mom started dating another man while having sex with Nicholas"
"So that's the guy that stabbed me, that bastard"
"I know, but Nate, the man looks just like your father"
"Say What"
"I'm not kidding, you dad's a bald man with a pot belly and works at Joe's Fishery, right"
"Yeah, wait how do you know"
"I was there listening to their conversation"
"Janine you have to tell the police"
"I can't, she said she's going to ask Nicholas to kill me if I did"
"Janine, your safety's important"
We stopped talking for a few minutes and when the bell rang, Janine stood up, got her books and ran out of the classroom. "Janine, wait" I yelled to her. She stopped and turned around. "I'm sorry Nate, I just was not in the mood for talking about it, it's pretty touchy" she said. "It's ok, I should be the one apologizing I'll meet you tonight" I added and kissed her on the forehead. "Thanks, I love you dude"
"Me too" I replied back. When she left I just realized something.
I kissed her on the forehead…
In front of everyone…
I looked around and saw everyone with a shock face, especially Randy but he started to smile, the same one he must have used to beat up kids. That's when I heard clapping and saw my friends Dee Dee, Chad, Francis and Teddy clapping and yelling "WE SHIP JANATE". Soon everyone else was doing the same thing. I smiled and yelled to Randy "Now you can't hurt me, can you". He looked shocked and backed away from the crowd.
