Chapter 36: Promise

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Are you okay?"

There was no response. It was quiet.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you."

Still no response.

"Can I come in?"

I slowly opened the door and I see James sitting on the ground and hiding his face behind his hands.

I sat next to him.

"I'm sorry James. What can I do to make it up to you?"

I hear him sniff.

"I promise I will make it up to you. Tell me."

I pat his back.

He looked up at me with a smile.

I jump back a little. It was kind of creepy.

"Oh my god you scared me james"

"I tricked you hahah! I would never cry after a fight! I'm a man."

I smile a little. This reminds me of old James. The one I liked back in L.A.

"I only faked crying because I want you here beside me and it worked! I also got a bonus because you said YOU PROMISED that you will do anything to make it up to me."

"But you only faked cry..?"

"But you said you promised..?" James imitated my voice.

"Fine. Go ahead."

"Be mine."

"What?"

"Be mine as in be my girlfriend!"

"You are acting so childish right now, I swear."

"Ok I will change it.."

I waited.

"Act like my girlfriend for a week without telling anyone you made this promise with me."

"Really?! You are insane."

"Is this idea better than my first one?" He asked.

"Can you make an easier promise?"

"Nope. This is the easiest."

He really frustrates me.

"Okay fine I will act like your girlfriend for a week."

"Without telling anybody? Like, Xander?"

"... Yeah."

My dad just texted me. He said that the family wants me and my friends to go city and have a meet and greet at a huge mall.

I told Lauren, Xander, and James that we should go to the meet and greet.

Xander drove us down to the city in a gray car. Lauren sat on the passenger seat and James and I sat next to each other in the back.

James put his hand on my knee and tapped his fingers to the beat of the music.

I smacked his hand and glared at him.

He mouthed me that we start the acting today.

I scowled and looked out the window.

We arrived at the mall.

I looked at my phone and my dad said to meet them in the center of the mall.

We walked together in the center of the mall and we saw this huge crowds of fans screaming as they saw us walking.
