CHAPTER 11

"Next up, for her amazing dedication to her school work, and her excellent and astonishing score on the CAHSEE, CST's, and the SAT's, we present this next award and high school diploma to Ms. Faith Almazar!" Principle Acosta said.

Everyone clapped and cheered loudly as they heard Faith's name being called. Faith blushed as her principle acknowledged her. She immediately went up to the stands, shook her prinicple's hand, and immediately walked back to her seat. Once the principle finished calling everyones name, he congratulated everyone and the the school valedictorian made a speech, and soon, everyone graduated.

"Congratulations Class of 2007!" the Principle yelled happily into the mic.

Faith stood up and ran over to the gang.

"Congratulations Baby Girl!" Josh congratulated.

"Thanks, Josh! Man, am I relieved that I graduated." Faith said.

Everyone, except for Cassie, laughed at this comment. "

Man am I hungry. Let's go get something to eat as a celebration for Faith's graduation." Vince suggested.

"Celebration for me, or celebration for your stomach?" Faith teased, smirking at Vince.

"Hmm, that's a hard one. I'm gonna have to say...both!" Vince said, smiling at Faith.

Faith laughed and nodded her head in agreement. Then, Mr Cruz, Faith's EVIL Vice Principle walked up to Faith.

"AHEM, I just wanted to...um...uh...congratulate you on your...uh...wonderful experience in this school for the four years that you've been here. Um...congratulations and...have a g-gr-great life." Mr. Cruz said, having a hard time complimenting and congratulating Faith.

Faith just smiled at Mr. Cruz and says, "Thank you, Mr. Cruz! I know I will!" T

hen, she hugs Mr. Cruz, causing him to stiffen up.

"Well, bye!" Faith said cheerfully, waving at Mr. Cruz as she walked away from him.

Soon, the gang started laughing out loud when they were in the parking lot.

"Hahaha! That was so hilarious! Did you see him? He looked like he was both constipated and as if he crapped in his pants!" Jesse said, smiling at Faith.

Faith smiled back at Jesse before asking, "What are we gonna eat?"

Everyone stopped and started to think about what they wanted to eat.

"What about...pizza?" Mia suggested.

"I want hamburgers." Faith said.

"None of them! They'll make me fat, plus, they're oily so they'll give me pimples. No way!" Cassie complained.

"Then what do you suggest? Salad and Ice Tea?" Faith gritted out.

"Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of Sushi, Caviar, and Ice Tea." Cassie said, smiling at everyone.

Everyone made a face as they heard her suggestion. "Okay, the sushi and Ice Tea I'll accept, but, caviar? Hell no!" Faith said.

"UGH!! But that's what I want damn it! If you don't like, then tough luck! Besides, its not like were treating you to FREE food. You can just pay for your own food. ALSO, we only agreed to come. We never agreed on eating out together." Cassie said bitchily.

Faith was extremely hurt but didn't show it.

"That's it! I've put up with enough of your shit!" Faith yelled angrily.

Soon, Faith lunged on top of Cassie and started to beat the living shit out of her.

"FAITH!!" Kriz yelled.

Dom tried to get Faith off of Cassie.

"Shit! Vince, help me with Faith! She's too strong!" Dom yelled, struggling with Faith.

Vince was immediately at Dom's side and helped him pull Faith off of Cassie. Faith accidentally elbowed Vince, who let her go, and ended falling on top of Cassie. She started to punch Cassie in the face again. Jesse pulled Faith off of Cassie with a little bit ease and tightened his grip on her waist.

"Faith! Calm down!" Jesse yelled, holding a struggling Faith.

Cassie shakily stood up, her face covered with blood coming from her nose. She looked like shit. She had a busted lip, black eye, her mascara was running from her frustrated crying, and it looked as if her nose was slightly bent. In other words, she was living, walking, nightmare that looked like a piece shit.

"Mia, Letty, take Cassie to the bathroom and clean her up. Now." Dom said sternly.

Mia and Letty nodded therr heads and elped Cassie walk to the bathroom. Dom turned to look at Faith who was still in Jesse's grip. Dom's face softened as he saw Faith's face. There was a long thin cut startingbelow her eye stopping above her jaw, and her eyes were red. She looked just about ready to cry.

"Faith. Are you alright?" Dom asked softly.

Soon, tears slowly fell from hereyes

"No. I've put up with her shit long enough. I just smiled and act as if nothing happened. It may not look like it, but what she said hurts. My whole life, I've always beencasted out, labled the loner because I look and act different. I don't have any friends at school except for the Principle and my teachers. Because of that, I've always been aloner. Other then my family, I've been lonely for my whole life." Faith muttered softly, pushing some of her hair behind her ear.

Jesse feeling both sympathetic and empathetic,hugged Faith from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry to hear that, Baby Girl." Jesse whispered into Faith's ear.

Faith slightly blushes and tries to stop crying.

"So, what do we do now?" Kriz asks.

"Maybe we should go home. We can just celebrate later on tonight. We'll go over their to your house, then we'll drive over theirto...hm...Red Lobster?" Dom asked.

Kriz thought about it before nodding her head in agreement. "Alright. Then we'll see you tonight." Kriz said, heading for the car.

"Uh, Kriz?Is it alright if I take Faith with me somewhere?" Jesse asked.

"Where?" Kriz asked.

"Don't worry. Its nowhere bad. Just, this place." Jesse said.

"Alright. Take care of her or I'lltake care of you. If you know what I mean." Kriz threatened. Jesse gulped before nodding his head and replying,

"Gotcha." Kriz nodded her head, and climbed inside Josh's car.

Soon, the black Escalade was gone. Then, Letty and Mia came back with Cassie. As they passed by Faith and Jesse, Cassie glared at Faith.

"Jesse. Before you and Faith goanywhere, let's take her back home so we can clean that cut on her face." Dom said.

Jesse nodded and helped Faith into Dom's car and sat next to her. Then, they left theparking lot and drove home. As they were drving, Dom checked on Faith who was sleeping on Jesse's shoulder from the rearview mirror.

"I can't believed she cracked just likethat. She's been through alot, Dom. But, she's so young though." Letty said sympathetically, looking at Dom.

"I know. Its sad." Dom said.

Soon, they arrived at their house. Jessegently shook Faith to wake her. Faith softly groaned as she gently rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Jesse helped Faith out of the car and took her inside the house. Both of themwalked into the bathroom where Jesse picked up Faith and gently placed her on top the counter. Then, Jesse walked out of the bathroom and was gone for a few secondsbefore coming back with a cotton ball and alcohol. He dabbed a little bit of alcohol on the cotton ball before gently placing on Faith's cheek. Faith slightly winced when she felthe sting of the alcohol but soon relaxed as the sting left. Jesse gently dabbed the cotton ball on Faith's cut. Once he finished, he threw away the cotton ball and put the alcoholaway. He helped Faith off the counter and both of them walked out of the bathroom where they bumped into Mia.

"Oh, Faith! Are you alright?" Mia asked worriedly.

Faith gave

a small smile and nodded her head.

"That's good. Oh! Before you leave, why don't you come into my rooom so I can put some concealer on you face to hide the cut." Mia said.

Faith agreed and followed Mia into her room. Mia stopped in front of her dresser and put some concealer on Faith's face.

"There. That should do it. I'm really sorry aboutCassie." Mia said.

"Its alright." Faith said.

"Do you wanna go now?" Jesse asked.

Faith looked at Jesse and nodded her head. Jesse and Faith walked out of Mia's room andwent to the garage. When they got their, Jesse and Faith climbed into Jesse's Volkswagon Jetta. Jesse started the car and drove away from the house. Faith was quiet throughoutthe whole ride and was looking out of the window. Then, Jesse stopped the car and turned the ignition off when they arrived at their destination.

"Were here." Jesse said.

Faithlooked up and slightly widened her eyes. "The beach?" Faith asked.

"Yup. I thought you might cheer up if I take you here." Jesse said, getting out of the car.

Faith got out alsoand followed Jesse. They walked to the beach and sat down on the same spot where they sat when they first went to the beach.

"Are you alright?" Jesse asked.

Faith shook herhead, "No, not really. God, I hate that bitch. I don't what guys see in her." Faith muttered.

"I don't know, I guess its the fact that she dresses like a true whore and and you woulday it, 'racer chaser'." Jesse said, looking at Faith.

"I still hate her. I can't believe she said all that." Faith said.

"I can't believe you did that." Jesse said.

"Did what?" Faith asked,confused.

"Beat the living shit out of Cassie. That's what." Jesse explained.

"Oh. Yeah, its nothing. I mean, I beated a whole lot more skanks. But, she's just...UGH!" Faith saidfrustratedly.

Jesse looks at Faith silenlty. Faith, noticing the sudden silence looks up. She blushes when her face is close to Jesse's.

"Um, Jesse?" Faith shyly asks.

Soon, Jesseslowly leans forward, causing Faith to blush deeply.

"Jesse..." Faith softly muttered.

Her eyes slowly closed as she leaned in too. Their faces were close, they could feel eachothers breath mingling together. Then, their lips were millimeters apart, and were about to connect. Jesse was about to press his lips against Faith's.

"I walk this lonely road, theonly one that I have ever known..." Rang Jesse's phone.

Both Faith and Jesse immediately pulled away from each other.

"Shit!" Jesse mumbled, answering his phone.

"Hello?"Jesse grumbled. Faith blushed deeply as she thought about how close she and Jesse were to kissing.

'Stupid phone.' Both Faith and Jesse thought at the same time.

". See ya." Jesse muttered, turning his phone off.

"Um, who was that." Faith asked.

"Dom. He says that I should take you home before Kriz kills me. Plus, were going toRed Lobster in like, 30-45 minutes." Jesse said, sighing deeply.

"Oh. Alright." Faith said, standing up and dusting off the sand off her pants.

Jesse looks at Faith before sighingdeeply. They both walk to the car, get in, and drive home. Jesse drops off Faith at her house and walks with her to her front door.

"Doesn't this fell like deja vu." Jesse muttered.

Faith softly smiled at Jesse.

"See you later, Jesse." Faith says.

"Yeah. You too." Jesse said.

Jesse watches Faith enter the house and soon walks away. He gets in his car anddrives home. '

So close. So close.' Jesse thought.
