Fall

Starting over

So how about it girls, what is it you want to do? Athena just laughed wiggling her eyebrows. I can think of something she wants to. Be your girlfriend. Athena?! I yelled in shock. Don't say things like that he doesn't even know me. He asked and I answered for you. The more she spoke the more red from embarrassment my face got. Athena please stop?! He was trying not to laugh at anything she said. So he just smirked at the ground as we walked on. And you can tell he wants you to be his girlfriend by the fact he won't say anything.

No, he's smiling his usual smirk as we walk on. Again he doesn't know me. But that wasn't true and he and Athena knew it. I was the one left in the dark. They weren't telling me anything. I watched him give a sad smile and then I frowned too. I ran to keep up and nudged him. You ok? I asked him. Huh? Oh oh yeah I'm fine.

 
Liar. No, yeah I was just thinking about something. Care to share? Nope, so how about until our secrets are shared, that we all just start over. Is that really what you're thinking about? No I was just thinking it would be a good idea. He stopped. We stopped too. So how about it? What? Until we feel comfortable sharing our pasts let's just all of us start over and have a beginning friendship. That makes it sound like we knew each other before these last couple of days.
But our stories are almost the same, so sure let's start over. Are you in Athena? Yeah I guess so, but my bodyguard still stands. Fair enough. After making the new promise to start over and become friends I started laughing. They asked me what was so funny. Then I gave her my little smirk and she knew my answer. Oh no, here we go! Do you really want to use those words? Hey at least I didn't say again. What is happening?

 
But it was too late, and I started singing start all over. Now we've done it. What? If you say a certain word or group of words that remind her of a song she starts singing it and doesn't stop until she's finished. Oh no, Justin laughed. Well if we can't stop her, let's just join her. You join her, I don't sing. Fair enough.

 
We three spent all day together. By the end of the day, it was like we were best friends. And things just got better from there. Oh BTW I'm taking some time off to go to school and hang out with friends and you know just keeping it real. You sound like Joey Parker from Cinderella Story. Oh I love that movie. Same. Anyways? Anyway, this just got a lot better for all of us.

 
How so lover boy? Well for one because I'm going back to school it will be what my Jr. Year? And as a celebrity, they don't want me to be seen at school without a disguise, so as you see me today will be the kind of person I'll be until the next time I have tours and things. Where's the good fun part? Guess where as of on Monday I'm enrolling?

Where? At a little place called East High. No way that's where we go to school! Yeah I know. Why there? So that I can spend time with you guys. Excuse me? Spend time with who? Both of you. Don't try to pull that BS I think we both know it's not the both of us you're here for. Considering the similar stories of your pasts.

 
So one more time. Who are you here for? Athena asked pushing me toward him. Harder than she thought and I almost fell over, good thing Justin was right there to catch me. Athena?! You're insane, you're so missing a couple of screws up in there. Hey be naïve all you want, but I know down inside of you you know that's what's going on. And he's to nervous to say anything, and not get hurt from hurting you.

 
Yeah, you make everyone nervous. Good I would hope that I do. No one messes with me or my best friend. True that. So are we done here, it's sorta getting late. Sure, sure let's get you home first, what's the address? Huh same place as it's always been, he mumbled to himself. Well here we are girls, Athena where am I taking you? Oh no we both live here now. Her grandmother adopted us as her own so we wouldn't get put into the system as foster kids.

We're legally sisters now. Great, so I guess I'll see you both on Monday then. Goodnight. Feel free to text me any time. We'll see. Drive safe. Yes mom. Justin says rolling his eyes. Text one of us when you get home so we know you got home safe. Ok, ok. Goodnight girls. Goodnight Justin see you on Monday.
