A/N Hey guys, sorry that I'm so spotty with updates. My school is weird so we just had finals two weeks ago, and then with the new semester, I've been trying to stay focused. Then the past like 4 weekends, I've been hanging out with my friend and watching all the episodes of "Castle" which, by the way, if you haven't seen, you need to check that out. And then any extra time has been spend on my 10-page microbiology paper due at the end of the semester. Long story short, I've been busy. On the plus, there's at least another 20 chapters to this story and a sequel I've been working on. Anyway, carry on and review

Chapter 17
June was deep in thought. She was thinking about what her psychology professor said to her today. Mrs. Williams was one of June's favorite teachers ever. Mrs. Williams was a retired therapist, so June always went to her with her problems. Mrs. Williams told her that she needs to take some risks. She told her to not let James stop her from living. June was still thinking about it as she drove home.
June walked into the Palmwoods. She saw Jo and Kendall with Carlos, arguing about something. She saw Katie sitting by the pool playing some game with a boy. June awed at the sight.
"The boys better not screw that up." June said to herself. She kept looking and saw Camille.
"Hey Cami." June said. Camille turned to her.
"Hey June! What's got you in a good mood?" Camille asked. June shrugged.
"I just had a talk with Mrs. Williams. I'm always in a good mood after I talk to her." June said. Camille nodded.
"So are you going to see that movie 'Kiss and Tell' that everyone's talking about?" Camille asked. June shrugged.
"I don't think so. Dak didn't ask me about it, and to be honest I don't really feel like going to the movies to make out for 2 hours." June said. Then she shook her head. "No. If someone asks me, I'm going to go. Mrs. Williams told me to take risks and say yes." June said. Camille laughed and nodded.
"She's a good influence on you." Camille said. June nodded.
"So are you going to go? Possibly with Logan?" June said with a nudge. Camille shook her head.
"No, we're off. He's going after some new girl, Peggy. I'm going with Steve though." Camille said. June nodded.
"Good for you! I'm going to go get my homework done. I'll talk to you later." June said and walked away from Camille. A couple seconds later someone knocked into her.
"Oh sorry June, I was watching some people." James said. June fixed her sunglasses and hair.
"It's fine." June said. James looked behind her for a second and then turned back to June.
"Hey, do you want to come with me to get dinner and then see that new movie Kiss and Tell?" James asked with a smile. June looked at him for a second she opened her mouth to say no, but then she shut it. Mrs. Williams did say to take risks and she just told Camille she would say yes if someone asked her. She took a deep breath.
"Sure." June said.
"Okay, I underst- wait what?" James said in shock.
"I said sure. I'll go." June said. James smiled.
"Sweet. Meet me down here at 7." James said. June nodded.
"See you later." She said and then walked away.
She passed Kendall and Jo who were arguing, Carlos looking between them, like a little kid watching his parents fight.
"I don't want to date a pretty girl, I want to date you!" Kendall said. Jo crossed her arms and raised an eye. June walked up to them.
"Nice one Kendall." June said. Kendall turned and glared at her. June put her arms up in defense and left.
She went upstairs and opened the door to see Justine watching TV.
"Hey kid, what's up?" Justine said.
"Well I'm going to see Kiss and Tell tonight." June said. Justine nodded, only half paying attention
"With Dak?" Justine asked.
"Uh, actually with James." June said awkwardly. Justine whipped her head around to face her.
"I'm sorry, did you say James? As in James Diamond?" Justine asked in shock.
"Yeah." June said. Justine shook her head.
"Where did that come from?" Justine asked. June shrugged.
"Well I talked to Mrs. Williams today and she said that I need to take risks and stuff and then I told Camille that I would say yes if anybody asked me to see Kiss and Tell and James asked so I said yes." June said. Justine shook her head.
"You are something else." Justine said. June just shrugged and went to her room to finish her homework and get ready for her date.

"Hey James." June said as she walked up to James in the lobby.
"Hey June. So we're going to Rick's Diner and then to the movie after that." James said. Odd choice. But okay.
"Alright." June said. James took her hand and drove there. They got their and sat in a booth. June looked around the dinner and spotted Katie and that boy she was with earlier, she heard his name was Kyle. They were so cute. June saw that they had a milkshake with 2 straws. It was cliché, but cute. The were about to drink it when James set down another milkshake. June turned back and saw that James was missing. She huffed. James came back.
"Hey sorry about that." James said. "So what looks good?"
"I don't know I haven't really looked at the menu." June said. She picked one up and looked at it. She looked at it and looked back up and saw that James was starring at Katie's table. June shook her head.
So it looked like James was just trying to make sure that Katie and Kyle didn't get too close. They must be going to Kiss and Tell and James was being overprotective. On one hand, it was really sweet, but on the other hand, June was upset. She thought that James wanted to actually go on a date with her. The way it was going, James was going to ignore her until the movie, and then just make out with her or something. June wasn't going to have that.
Well she should test her theory. "Hey this is nice."
"Yeah."
"I wrote a new song."
"That's nice."
"I ran over someone when I came back from school today."
"That's cool." James said, not even paying attention. June sighed. She was right. She set down her menu.
She stood up and was about to walk out of the restaurant, but turned and went over to Katie and Kyle's table.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?" June asked.
"We're going to go see that new movie Kiss and Tell." Katie said. June shook her head.
"I heard that the theatres are filled with people making out. It's gross, that's why I don't want to go see it. I don't feel like making out for 2 hours. But have fun." June said. She turned to leave, but she heard them both say "Gross." June smiled and then went back to her and James table.
"I'm leaving. Bye." June said. James took her hand.
"What, why? We haven't seen the movie yet." James said. June pulled her hand away.
"I don't really feel like making out for 2 hours. Especially with you." June said and shrugged and walked out. She called a cab and went home.
Break
A couple hours later June heard a knock on her door. She walked out and looked through the peephole, hoping it wasn't James. It was Camille and Jo. June opened the door.
"Hey guys. How did your night go?" June asked as she let them it.
"Not so good." Jo said.
"Same. What happened to you guys?" June asked. Jo went first.
"Well Carlos never picked between the 2 girls that Kendall and I set up for him, and they ditched him, and then I ditched Kendall." Jo said. Then Camille went.
"Well Logan turned down that Peggy girl at the last minute, and he came and asked me, but I was with Steve." Camille said.
"That doesn't sound to bad." June said. Camille shrugged.
"But I could have gone with Logan." Camille said. "Oh well. What happened to you?"
"Well James asked me to go, and I told you that if someone asked, I would say yes, so I said yes, and he was only using me so that he could spy on Katie and her date." June said. Both girls winced.
"Oo, I think you got it worst." Jo said. June shrugged.
"It's sweet that he was overprotective of Katie, but like I'm just so done with James." June said. Camille and Jo nodded. "Like all this James stuff is just screwing with me. I just don't even want to think about him. Like I used to think that we would be forever, and I used to say never say never, he can't get any worse and he can change, but like we are never ever getting back together. I'm like positive this time." June said.
"Hey that would be a good song." Camille said. June laughed.
"I know, I'm working on it. I need to write that down." June said. She walked over to her lyric book and wrote it down.
"So girls, what do you say to a movie?" June asked.
"Yes!" The other girls said in unison.
"Alright, we need a good chick flick. The Last Song, or The Lucky One?" June asked.
