Gigi stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around her body. She walked into her bedroom and sat on the bed. She thought about falling asleep wrapped in her towel, but it's not save to sleep in the nude.
She slid into a pair of turquiose happy bunny pajama pants with black elastic rimming. Her shirt was a plain black tank top. She towel dried her hair.
She finished her nightly dental hygiene routine; brush, floss, mouthwash and rinse.
On her way back to bed, she heard a light buzzing sound. Must've been her phone was on vibrate. Who could be calling her at this time?
"i had a fun time last nite"
It was from Zeke. Gigi smiled at the text.
"me 2 too bad ur friend came n messed it up"
Gigi laughed at her text before she sent it.
"ikr? i think he likes u"
Gigi's brow raised.
"u think"
She got an lol from Zeke.
"i hope i ddnt disturb u, just wanted 2 say good nite and hope we cud have 1 more date."
That was weird. Gigi didn't like Zeke like that.
"ur a nice guy, but no thanks."
She bit her lip.
"thats ok. good nite."
She texted him back the same and tossed her phone on the nightstand. She slid under the covers.

The next morning Gigi was fixinf herself up for school. How was she going to face everybody now that she isn't the Queen Bee anymore?
She opened the door and there was Justin. A smile on his face as Alex and Max stood behind him by the front door.
"I was just about to come get you." He fixed his strap on his bag.
"For what?"
"To walk with us to school." He said, if it wasn't the obvious.
"You want me to walk with you to school?" That was a nice gesture.
"Yeah!" He nodded.
"Alright." Gigi grabbed her bag and walked into the hallway. On her way to school with the Russos.
-------
It wasn't half bad. Gigi got a few looks and snickers and some tried to be big and bad. Gigi wasn't having that. She may not be the Queen Bee anymore, but she install fear is more than most.

Alex and Max walked ahead while Justin walked behind with Gigi. They stood in front of the sub shop talking when Juliet came out from the Late Nite Bite. Here we go again.
"Hey Justin." Juliet walked over to her boyfriend, wrapping her arms around his waist as they shared a kiss. "Where were you last night?"
This only gave Gigi a reason to laugh at the insecure vampire. "See you later Justin." She walked into the shop.
"I thought I told you to stay away from her!" Juliet folded her arms staring at Justin as he rolled his eyes.
"We go to school together. We work together. We live in the same building. I neccessarily can't stay away from her."
"You know what I mean, Justin."
"I can't do this anymore." Justin backed away from his girlfriend. Shaking his head as she headed into the shop.
"What are you talking about?" Realization started to hit Juliet, as she felt her heart about to break. No he can't break up with her.
"You not trusting me." Justin turned to Juliet, his voice a little louder then before.
"You're breaking up with me." Juliet was on the verge of crying. Her voice almost cracked as she played with her hands, looking down at their promise rings.
"I don't know." He sighed rubbing his forehead. "I love you with all my heart, but I can't take you not trusting me. I'm going to be around other girls."
"I know that, but it's something about Gigi that I don't..." Juliet paused. "I know you like her." She breathed as she glanced from Justin to the ground. "And she likes you." She sighed. "That's what scares me."
"Why would that scare you?" Justin steppee closer to Juliet.
Juliet sighed as she grabbed his hand and took him into the her family shop and sat at a table. She explained why it scared her so much.
"She can give you a lot of things I can't." Justin brows furrowed as he tried to figure what can Gigi do for him that Juliet can't. She's a vampire for God's sake, she can do anything.
Juliet chuckled at his expression. "Marriage, babies, someone to wake up to in the morning." She went on and on with a list full of things that Gigi could that she couldn't do. "Someone to grow old with."
"Juliet. All that doesn't matter to me." He grabbed her hand as a smile started to surface on the vampires face.
"You said you wanted a family." She batted her eyes, trying to stop the tears.
"We can still be a family, just you and me." He caressed her cheek. "Children don't make a family. People loving each other and being there for one another. That's a family." He explained.
This made Juliet smile. "But what about growing old together."
"Are you forgetting that I am a wizard. Wizards can stay young as long as they want."
"That's if you keep your powers and become the family wizard." Juliet caught her breath.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there." Justin smiled, putting his finger under her cheek as he leaned for a kiss.
"I love you Justin." Juliet smiled.
"You too." Justin grinned.
Juliet caught that. She tried to hide the faint hurt in her heart. "Okay!" She tapped his hand.
"Bye." He stood and left the shop as Juliet hung her head.
