âCourtney's P.O.Vâ
"Courtney, open the door!" I hear a voice in the distance and I slowly open my eyes to realize that someone is knocking on my door.
"What do you want?" I ask impatiently as I know it's Alex. "Go away, Alex!"
"Little lady, it's me. Come on out, Princess."
"Julian?" I question as I get up from the bed.
"That's my name, now please open up." He responds and I open the door to see a very concerned looking Julian. His eyebrows furrow when he sees me and I wrap my arms around his neck as his go around my waist. "It's alright, babygirl. I'm here, you're not alone." He speaks soothingly and I cry onto his chest.
"He's an asshole." I sniffle.
"I know, I know."
"Hey, no I'm not!" Alexander defends himself and I lift my head to glare at him. He looks at me sadly and Julian guides me back into my room before he closes the door behind us.
He leads me to my bed and he sits down before he puts me on his lap and I hug him tightly. "I miss him, Julian..."
"I know you do, Princess. I'm sorry he had to go so soon but he's watching over you."
I lift my head to look up at him and sniffle. "You really think so?"
"I know so." He whispers as he wipes away my tears and I close my eyes when he leans forward to plant a soft kiss on my forehead. "It's 2am and there's school tomorrow, you should get some sleep."
"I was sleeping but you woke me up." I laugh a little and he chuckles.
"I'm sorry, but Alexander called me to tell me that you locked yourself up in your room and he heard you cry so I had to come check up on you. You can get some sleep now that I know you're okay."
"No, don't leave me I need you." I say as I hold onto him tighter and he strokes my hair as he kisses the top of my head.
"I wasn't planning to, now sleep."
I get comfortable in his arms and I close my eyes but then Julian stands up with me in his arms and I smile when I realize that he's going to lay me down. "Just like old times, when you used to put me into bed?" I ask him and he looks down at me and smiles.
"I miss those days, you used to always be impressed and told me how strong I was." He says and I laugh softly.
"You are strong, I mean you are in the soccer team and the football team after all. I'm surprised you haven't given in to any of the girls falling at your knees." I snort and he stays silent for a few moments before he speaks up.
"I like to think of it as reserving myself for my future special girl. All the guys in my team make fun of me for being the only virgin in the team but I believe losing your virginity is something serious and you shouldn't just waste it to use girls as toys."
I look up at him in surprise. "Wow, that's actually the sweetest thing you've ever said. I'm proud of you, fella." I tease and he shakes his head as he chuckles.
He lays me down under the bed sheets and I snuggle against his side as he lays down beside me. "Goodnight, little lady." He whispers and kisses my temple.
"Goodnight, Jules."

"Courtney!" I hear a familiar voice scream in excitement and I shut my locker to turn in the direction of the voice. I see Emily running over to me and I drop my book.
"Emily!" I reflect her excitement and she finally reaches me as she throws her arms around me and I wrap mine around her.
"I missed you so much!" She says breathlessly and I laugh softly.
"I missed you too."
We hug for a little longer until she decides to pull away and she smacks my arm, hard. "You bitch!"
"Ow! What was that for?" I ask as I rub my arm and she huffs as she crosses her arms across her chest.
"You never called, texted, or even tagged me in any stupid post for the entire break! What the hell is wrong with you!? I thought you had died! I was worried sick!" She yells at me like an angry mother and I sigh as I look around to see that people are looking at her like she's crazy.
"I'm sorry, I don't have a good explanation except that I've been binge watching a bunch of shows on Netflix." I tell her and she smacks me a second time. "Ow!"
She wraps her arms around me again.
"God, I should've figured. I've missed you so much." She repeats and I smile as I hug her back.
"I missed you too. But I didn't miss your violence." I tell her truthfully and she laughs as she pulls away.
"What's your schedule? Is it the same as last semester? Do we still have Math and Drama class together?"
I nod my head and she squeals as she claps her hands and jumps up and down. A couple of students look at her weird and she smiles at them as they pass by. "I have History class right now, see you in third?" I question.
"Yes, see you in fourth." She answers and I raise an eyebrow. "Third, I mean. I meant third!" She quickly corrects herself and I chuckle as I open my locker again and take out my history book and notebook.
"I really did miss you. See you in third." I say as I shut my locker again and I kiss her cheek as she does the same.
"Alright see ya!"
I walk to my class and as I get near, I see Alexander making out with a girl against the lockers and I hold back a gag as I keep walking. I walk into my class and sit on a seat located in the middle of the classroom.
I take out my phone from my pocket and play a game as I wait for the bell to ring. Once it rings, the teacher walks in and I put away my phone as she writes a page number on the board and assigns us to read then answer a few questions.
I put in my earphones and get to work as soon as she tells us to begin.

"So, how was your break?" I ask Emily and she groans as we stand in the lunch line.
"Terrible, I was really bored the entire time." She answers.
I laugh. "Sucks to be you."
She glares at me.
"Yeah, yeah whatever. You're a bitch, you didn't even remember about me."
I grab a tray and hand her one as I look at the variety of food and grab a slice of pizza and fries as I set them down on my tray. "In my defense, you didn't text me either. So we're equal." I grab an orange juice and ranch dressing before paying and I wait for Emily to pay.
"You do have a point, but still." She huffs and I laugh as we walk over to our usual spot under a tree and I sit down with my back resting against the trunk.
"I already said I was sorry." I repeat and she takes a bite from her apple. I look down at her tray and realize that she only grabbed an apple and a water bottle. "Do you have something you want to tell me? Like, are you on a diet?" I ask her and she groans as she sets the apple down on her tray.
"Ugh, no. I lost a bet with stupid Julian so I had to give him most of my lunch money."
I snort, "Smart, Em. Very, very smart."
"Shut up."
She takes another bite from her apple and I laugh as I grab my pizza and dip it in ranch before taking a bite out of it. "Want my fries? I have enough with my pizza." I tell her and she gives me a grateful smile as she grabs them and shoves three into her mouth. "Woah, slow down." I chuckle.
"You're forgiven." She says as she moans and I smile at her.
"I knew you'd give in eventually." I wink and she rolls her eyes before we continue eating.

"What are you doing right now?" Emily asks me as we walk out of school and I shrug my shoulders.
"I don't have anything planned, why?"
"I was thinking that we should go to the boys soccer game." She wiggles her eyebrows and I roll my eyes. "There's some really cute guys in there that I wanna hit on."
"Ugh, gross." I fake gag and she smacks my arm playfully, causing me to laugh. "I'll go, but don't flirt with them in front of me."
"No promises."
"Emily, I'm serious."
I look across from me and wave at Julian, who is talking to a group of guys and he waves back at me as he sends me a smile.
"Well, do you want me to leave you alone when I hit on them instead?"
I turn to look at her in shock. "You wouldn't."
"I wouldn't but that's my way of saying, 'you do you and I will do me.'" She amends and I huff.
"Fine, but don't push any guys my way like last time. I don't have any interest in getting a boyfriend anytime soon." I state, fixing the strap of my backpack on my shoulder. "Besides, no guy wants a girl dressed in guy clothes because, 'she looks like a man.'" I mock and let out an annoyed huff.
"So does that mean you change your mind about the makeover?" She asks me hopefully as she claps her hands in excitement and I snort.
"In your dreams, Em."
"Aww," she whines. "Come on, let me at least give it a try and if you don't like it, then you can go back to your clothes." She offers and I turn to raise an eyebrow at her.
"No."
"Come on, please?"
"No, thank you."
"Pleeease?"
"Emily, no." I repeat, walking a little bit faster.
She quickly catches up to me. "You can always go back, it will just be for fun."
"Alright fine," I sigh. "But if you even try to put makeup on me, I'm going to take away your fun and end the makeover."
"Only mascara and lipgloss?" She asks with a sheepish smile and I sigh in defeat.
"I hate lipgloss, but you can put lipstick on me. Only if it's not a bold color." I address and she nods her head before grabbing my hand.
"Alright, ma'am." She agrees and pulls me over to her car. "The game's at six, we have enough time to go shopping." She squeals as she unlocks her car and hops into the driver's seat.
"Yay, fun." I mutter sarcastically before I climb into the passenger's seat and she claps her hands in excitement. Something she does a lot.
"Let's go!" She cheers, starting up the engine before pulling out of the parking lot and drives off onto road.
