Chapter 23

"Do you think they're dead?" Carlos asked Logan.

"I'm not sure." Logan said. James and Kendall were both laying face down on the orange couch. They both groaned. "I guess not."

"Guys, you don't get it." Kendall said as he and James sat up. "And James, I know that you miss June, but at least you get to keep dating her and she's only gone for 3 months. Jo and I had to break up and she was my first love and I'm not going to see her for 3 years." Kendall said. James sighed.

"Yeah I guess your right, but I miss her. She hasn't called me yet. Does that mean she's cheating? What if she's done with me?" James said, starting to freak out.

"Dude chill. She left yesterday. She probably has a lot on her plate. She has to get her room, meet her roommates, and then go to the school or wherever the internship is and get started. She'll call you later." Logan said trying to calm him down. James took a deep breath.

"Right. You're right." James said.

June stepped out of the car and into the dorm building. She looked at her sheet that the director gave her and headed up to the 4th floor where her room was. She knew that she had to share, but she didn't know who it would be yet. She found the room and used her key to open it.

"Hello?" June called into the room. She stepped in and saw a main living room with a kitchen area. There was a hallway on the left and right. June walked over to the first one and saw 2 bedrooms, one had a suitcase in it and the other one was empty. June put her stuff down. She saw a bathroom that joined the rooms. She walked over to the other hallway and saw three girls sitting in one of the bedrooms. One was blonde, one was brunette, and the other one was a red head.

"Uh hello?" June said. The three girls looked over at her. "Hi. I'm June. Your last roommate." June said politely. The three girls looked her over. The brunette and redhead looked at the blonde. She stood up.

"I'm Molly, this is Diana," she said pointing to the brunette," and that's Ann." she said pointing at the red head.

"Hi nice to meet you." June said. Molly looked her over and then crossed her arms.

"What are you wearing?" Molly asked, like she was a piece of trash. June looked down.

"Uh shorts, a t-shirt, and a sweater?" June said. She was still wearing the wearing the hoodie James gave her.

"Why are you wearing a sweater in Florida? You do realize that it's hot in Florida right? Where are you from? Minnesota?" Molly asked snottily. Diana and Ann laughed. June was taken back a little. What, was this 3rd grade?

"Yes I do know that it's hot in Florida. And yes, as a matter of fact I am from Minnesota, but I've lived in L.A. for the last like 3 years." June said. Molly looked at her friends.

"Oh look what we have here. A Hollywood wannabe." Molly said. June was temped to tell her off and say that she wrote all of Justine's songs, numerous number one hits and multiplatium albums, and she had a famous sister and famous boyfriend, and her best friends were all famous. But she didn't. Why should she stoop to her level? She came here for an internship, not for everyone to be obsessing over her friends.

"I'm not a wannabe. I went to school there, hence the reason that I'm here for this internship." June said.

"You keep, like, sassing me. Do you think that you're better than me just because you're not from Florida like the rest of us? Or is it because you're from California and you are going to start saying that all your friends are celebrities, which will just be lies." Molly said. June just rolled her eyes.

"Look I came for an internship, not for some group of immature girls to talk down at me." June said. She turned around and walked back to her room. She checked her watch. It was 9 o'clock, so it was like 6 in California. She sat on her bed and pulled out her phone and dialed James.

"June!" James exclaimed. June smiled.

"Hi James." June said.

"Man I wish you were here. It was crazy today. Kendall and I were sad, and I was freaking out because you hadn't called me and then Logan talked some sense into me. And then Kendall was all sad so we had to cheer him up, and then Gustavo needed help writing a song, and he was angry you weren't here. And then he wrote a song called "If I Ruled The World" and it's going to be a single so get it when it comes out!" James said quickly. June laughed.

"Okay I will." June said.

"So what happened today with you?" James asked. June sighed.

"Well I got to Florida, and then there was a 3 hour drive to the place that the internship and dorms are at. And I got to the dorms about 20 minutes ago. And I share it with these three girls." June said.

"Cool how is the dorm?" James asked.

"Almost as nice as the Palmwoods. It has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a kitchen and living room. I don't have to share a room, which is nice." June said.

"Wow, fancy. How are the other girls?" James asked. June sighed.

"Uh well there's Molly and Diana and Ann. They were friends before this or something. Diana and Ann haven't said much to me, but I don't think Molly likes me." June said.

"How could anyone not like you? You're perfect." James said. June smiled.

"I wish you were here." June said. "I don't know why she doesn't like me. She started calling me a Hollywood wannabe and was saying that I'm not better than her." June said.

"Wow. What is this? The third grade?" James asked. June laughed.

"That's what I said." June said. "She also said that I was going to start saying that I knew all these celebrities and I would brag about it, but none of it would be true."

"Well then you should rub it in her face that your dating me. And that your friends with the guys and that your sister is the great Justine Cooper!" James said. June laughed.

"I don't know what I'll do. I just-" June started.

"Oh girls look! June's talking to herself." Molly said as she walked into her room. June sighed.

"I'm not talking to myself. I'm talking to my boyfriend." June said.

"Oh false alarm! She's talking to her nonexistent boyfriend!" Molly yelled back and then left the room. June moved the phone back to her ear.

"You didn't hear that, did you?" June asked.

"Not really, I heard boyfriend." James said. June sighed in relief. She didn't want James freaking out about a couple of mean girls.

"Molly just asked who I was talking to and I said my boyfriend." June said.

"Oh, okay. Hold on, the boys want to say hi." James said. He put the phone on speaker.

"Hi June!" Logan, Carlos and Kendall said in unison.

"Hi guys." June said with a big smile on her face.

"We miss you. It's weird to have you and James not yelling or making out." Carlos said. "Ow James. That hurt." June laughed.

"Sorry boys. I'll be back in three months. It will fly by." June said.

"Have you started the internship yet?" Logan asked.

"No. I just went to my dorm and then I start tomorrow." June responded.

"How are your roommates?" Kendall asked.

"I don't think one of the girls likes me, but I'm sure it will change soon." June said, not very confident in her answer.

"Well Mama Knight is getting dinner ready, so we have to go, but I'll call you later." James said, taking the phone off speaker.

"Actually it's already 9 here, and I'm getting tired. I'll call you tomorrow." June said.

"Okay. I love you." James said.

"I love you too James. Bye." June said.

"Bye." And James hung up. June started at the photo of her and James with his head on her shoulder from yesterday. She smiled at the photo and changed into James' sweatpants and jersey and got ready for bed.
