Author's friggin' ramblings: I'm not going to make Julie's character like
Annette because one of my friends pointed out that Julies and Annette's
just don't mix. Anyway, Julie doesn't have the totally innocent girl look
anyway. You know, the more I think about it, the more similarities I find
between Julie and Kat but I'm just going to do Julie ( DO Julie, lol) the
way I think it's her attitude. Okay, I will change the title but I can't
think of anything right now so can you all give me ideas? Even though I'm
not going to completely rip off Cruel Intentions, can somebody remind me
what's going to happen next so I'll have a clearer idea? Thanks. I watched
Cruel Intentions 2 yesterday again and decided there was too much sexual
stuff and I'm not good at writing stuffs like that so I'll keep all the sex
stuff minimum.
Chapter Two: Harder than you anticipated.
****************
Julie Gaffney pushed a strand of dirty blonde hair behind her ear and didn't even bother a second take on her reflection. She had slept in the outfit she wore the day before; a faded pair of jeans and a brown t-shirt and she woke up late this morning due to her slapping the snooze button three times before throwing it across the room. She had just enough time to wash her face, brush her teeth, put a granola bar between her teeth and stick her feet in her skates. She was late. Okay, technically, school doesn't start in approximately 7 minutes but Charlie Conway, the captain of the hockey team-the one she was in wanted to give a new announcement. As Julie skated she pulled her hair in a ponytail which was kind of hard because she was skating really fast and her hair was all over the place. She pulled out her Discman and turned up the music really loud.
"SHE HATES ME!!!!LALALALA!!!SHE FUCKING HATES ME!!!"Julie sang along really loud. It wasn't that she was ignorant to all the dirty stares the older people gave around her but honestly, she just didn't give a damn. Lots of guys were into her, she knew that much. It wasn't that she had flaunted her cleavage or strips or even is the most gorgeous girl, it was because of the chip on her shoulder. She had this defense mechanism that didn't let any guy or even girls close to her. She's pretty close to the Ducks but she's quieter when she's in a group. Again, not because she was shy but the word anti social fits better. She's one of those rare people who actually believe they could survive alone.
Julie finally arrived in Eden Hall, amidst all the long stretch limos.
"Jeeves, pick me up at 3 and do not be late. I have a manicure appointment." Julie heard some girl ordered her chauffeur.
"Oh, get a life." Julie muttered. Jeeves? She bet a hundred bucks that his real name was Patrick or something but they re-named him to Jeeves to make it sound "classy". Jeeves. How typical. She was still analyzing about the Jeeves thing when she skated to where the Ducks were standing at the courtyard. Everyone had their Eden Hall uniforms on though they didn't look comfortable except for Charlie who had slacks, Ducks green jersey, Eden Hall's blazer and tie and he looked pretty weird.
"Julie, you know we're supposed to wear uniforms for assemblies and pep rallies." Was Charlie's hello.
"You're not wearing either. Besides, we don't have to. It says so in the rule book. It's better if you wear it but it's not as if you'll get detention." Julie replied as she glanced at the group.
"Where's Connie?" She asked and as if to answer her question, a long black stretch limo stopped and Connie hopped, yes hopped out giggling in a high pitched tone.
"HEY GUYS!" She yelled giddily from the other side.
Connie has always been calm and collected but when there were rumors that her father was going to be a millionaire, she turned giggly, when it was true, her giggly turned maximum and she had zero sense of IQ. Julie pitied Guy, though. Julie sensed that Guy had some crush on Connie when they were all tried out for the team last semester and now if they went out...
"God made a mistake not making her natural blond." Julie muttered loud enough for Guy to hear and he glared at her
"Hey!" Connie bounced in front of them, giggling. Even though she was in front of them she yelled. "Guess what? Since, like, we're rich now, daddy said he'll sponsor us all to new uniforms, skates, sticks, pucks, pads, new cleaner bus." The rest of the team minus Charlie and Julie thanked her enthusiastically.
"Connie, as captain, I thought I should have told them." Charlie sulked. Julie rolled her eyes. That was their captain. Always sulking when something didn't go his way.
"Oh, I'm like, really, really, sorry Charlie." At that moment the first bell rang. They all trudged into the hall, not noticing a pair of perceptive eyes was on them all the time.
*********************
Sebastian stared at the back of her head. She was a touch cookie no doubt. He could practically feel the chip on her shoulder. But gorgeous too. She didn't have the model beauty nor the innocent, un touched beauty, she was just...real.
"You can't fall for her, she's just a bet. A game." Sebastian told himself before he could help it. "Whoa..fall for her?"
"..as your new Student Body president, I promise to make reach out and make each and one of you a member of Eden Hall." Kathryn was saying at the podium.
Sebastian had to admit, Kathryn was a good actress. If he didn't knew better, he would have actually believed that Kathryn was sweet and sincere.
For the next few minutes as Kathryn droned on, the hall was completely silent as if mesmerized. Sebastian heard a conversation behind her.
"She's such an inspiration."
"Totally." Sebastian turned to see if the girls were mocking or being sarcastic but they were looking at the stage, taking in every single word of Kathryn's.
Amazing.
Finally it ended and the students were dismissed.
He went to his English Literature class and was surprised to find Julie there. He quickly snagged the seat behind her and tried to come up with a way to talk to him while the teacher filled out the seating chart.
The class was as usual boring. They had a passionate teachers but zoned out students.
"Now, before school let out, I assigned all of you to read Born to Die by Missy Ven Derk. Now, what do you think the author was trying to say?" Mr. Calbert asked enthusiastically looking around the class with big, hopeful eyes. No one even blinked and the look on Mr. Calberts face made Sebastian even flinch. Mr. Calbert glanced at the seating chart.
"Mr. Dermott, enlighten us here please." Paul Dermott is a guy with shaggy sandy hair who looks like he doesn't know the meaning of a comb and yellow teeth.
"Ermm...good...okay...fine." It took him about 3 or 4 minutes to sum that up. Mr. Calbert looked like he was two minutes away from hauling himself down the window.
Julie raised her hand.
"Miss Gaffney, thank God. Save us here." Mr. Calbert visibly relieved.
Julie clasped her hand together after she pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Well, I think what she was trying to tell us that all we need to have is faith and love. I mean look at Miles, he was ready to give everything up and was about to pull the trigger just because of a lie. If he had just believed in Carina and his heart he wouldn't even be in comma." Julie said. Mr. Calbert nod.
"That's one way of thinking..." Sebastian knew it was his chance.
"That's bull!" He spoke up. Julie turned and gave him a baffled look but he had her attention. Score! Mr. Calbert glanced at the seating chart.
"Mr. Montgomery, care to explain that?" Julie turned 180 degree so she could face him better.
"Well Blondie here is saying that all you need to do is believe in love and faith when it's obvious that the book is about schemes, lies, deceit and things that are pure evil." Sebastian didn't even knew what the hell he was talking about, he was just crapping so Julie would take notice of him. Julie's mouth hung open.
"Blondie?" She spat angrily. She faced in front and sat up straight in a rigid posture. " Actually, Mr. Calbert, Sebastian's point of view is totally and absolutely idiotic, barbaric, crappy and just doesn't make sense like himself." She turned back and faced him again. "All the schemes and lies are just tests to prove ones faith and also love." She looked like she was about to add, "Du'h." but kept it to herself.
"Oh my God? Did I just hear an intellectual debate in my class?" Mr. Calbert exclaimed looking like he just won lottery. "Well, Mr. Montgomery, I have to side with Miss Gaffney at this one. The story IS about love and faith." Julie turned and gave him a smirk and turned back in front.
"And Miss Gaffney, next time, be more tolerant of other's people opinion."
It was Sebastian's time to smirk when he saw that Julie's posture turned stiff. The bell rang. Before Julie left she had time to send Sebastian a dirty look.
He watched her sped from class and smiled to himself.
