Chapter 4

June skipped merrily down to the pool, yesterday's events moved on from. June had decided that she was going to forget about James, just a chapter in the past, but she wasn't going to close the book. She wanted James to realize his mistake, sure he make think he know he screwed up, but he doesn't even know what's coming.

June was wearing jean shorts over her pink strapless bikini, not bothering to throw a tank on. June went and picked up a pink smoothie. She slid on her sunglasses and picked a table. She left the umbrella down and unlocked her Kindle, reading a book for her English class.

She was enjoying it when the chair across from her moved. June looked up and saw James sitting there. She rolled her eyes, which he couldn't see behind her glasses. She looked back down at her Kindle.

"Hey June." James said. June looked up.

"Hi." She looked back down.

"What are you reading?" He asked. She raised her eyebrow.

"Great Expectations by Charles Dickens." She said. He looked shocked.

"Why would you read that?" He asked. Even he knew that it wasn't a easy read.

"I have to read it for my English class. It's not even that bad. It's interesting. All about a boy who goes after a girl he has known his whole life that he can never have." June said with a sugar sweet smile. James rubbed the back of his neck.

"You know, you're really pretty." He said. June looked at him in confusion. "I love your hair, it looks really good long and dyed like that." He continued. June showed a little smile.

"Thanks." She said. "I've changed a bit since Minnesota."

"I know. You were make-up, your hair is long, and you have a rocking body now." June smiled for a second and then processed the words. Now. Was he implying that she wasn't pretty before?

"Uh thanks." She said as she narrowed her eyes suspiciously. She took off her glasses.

"And you don't wear glasses or braces." He said. Now June was getting a little offended.

"So it didn't matter back then, oh wait it must have, because you cheated on me for 5 months!" She said sweet, which turned to a yell. Everyone at the pool looked over at the couple.

"You're also more bold." He said softly, more to himself than to her. He took her hand.

"Listen June, I really love you, and I wanted to give us another chance." James said. She stared at their hands for a second and then up and James.

"You only want to date me because I'm prettier than I was 2 years ago." June said looking back down. James grabbed her chin and moved it so they were looking at each other.

"No June. I really love you. We grew up together, of course I love you. I was just confused at the time and I fell in love with Holly too." James said. June ripped her hand away.

"If you had loved me in the first place, than you wouldn't have even fallen in love with Holly." June said, getting angrier by the second. "Have you heard the song "White Horse" by Justine?" She stood up and threw her Kindle in her bag and picked up her smoothie. James nodded.

"Yeah well I wrote that about you. I'm not your princess and this ain't a fairytale. We aren't getting back together." She took of the lid and poured the smoothie on James and threw the cup down next him and stormed into the lobby.

"Whoa, whoa. Why did you pour your smoothie on one of the hot guys from Minnesota?" June's best friend Camille Roberts asked. June stopped. She looked around and grabbed Camille's arm and dragged her into the supply closet.

"Okay well the one I dumped my smoothie on is James and well we grew up together and he was my first boyfriend, first love, first kiss, all that." June said. Camille nodded.

"Oh right, you're from Minnesota. So did you know all the guys? And that doesn't explain the smoothie." She said.

"Okay well I didn't know the other guys. I dated James for 2 years and then he had to move over to the next town, where we were still dating, but he cheated on me for 5 months until I found out from a family friend and saw it." June said. Camille gasped.

"Oh my gosh! He deserves smoothie on him!" She exclaimed. I smiled at her.

"Well that's not why I did it. Back then I was geeky and nerdy and not very pretty. So now he comes back and complements me and asks me out again. If I didn't want him back then, why would I want him now?" June exclaimed. Camille shook her head.

"Wow, some people. Have you met the other guys?" She asked. June nodded.

"Yeah. I haven't talked to Carlos much, but Logan and Kendall seem really nice. I saw them yelling at James yesterday after I told them what James did to me." June said. Camille sighed happily.

"The other brunette, Logan I think, he is so hot." She sighed again. June smiled.

"Maybe I can talk to him and see if he likes you." June said. Camille squealed and hugged June.

"Really? Thank you so much June." She said, June laughed.

"Anytime. We're best friends." June said Camille smiled. The girls left the closet to go to auditions and to school.
