“You’re just asking for a beating aren’t you? I was gonna wait until after school but we can always get it over with now.” The fear that I had been so good at pushing down bubbled up to the surface and I was ready to panic.
“What’s going on here?” My choir teacher’s voice filled the silence and Jake jerked his head towards him. I was still pinned against the wall so I couldn’t do much.
“Oh, nothing Mr. Rome, we’re just messing around.” Jake smiled and I wanted to slap that look right off his face but that would only just make my life even worse.
“Well, if ya’ll wanna have sex, do it on your own time. Got it?” I wanted to puke all over the floor. Have sex with Jake?! That’s repulsive!!
Julian backed up awkwardly and I walked towards class. Even though I honestly just wanted to get away from Julian, I couldn’t. He had free period and if he wanted to, he could watch and I’m pretty sure that’s what he’s going to do. I walked in and he was right behind me. It figures. I made my way to my chair and he sat across the room from me.

When the bell rang, I made a beeline for the door and didn’t even bother going to my locker. I busted through the door to the student parking lot and ran for my car. I could not take him beating me today. I just want to go home and see Sebastian.
I finally made it to my truck and I dug through my bag for my keys but I couldn’t find them. NO!! I need to get out of here! Any minute now, he’ll come and find me. I can’t take that right now. I thought I could but I…I just can’t.
I was on the verge of freaking out when I felt a tap on my shoulder. That fear bubbled up to the surface again and I turned around slowly.
Thank goodness it was just Sebastian. I sighed heavily and threw my arms around him. Usually, a normal person would be weirded out by this but Sebastian was used to it. Plenty of times he has seen me in ruins because of Jake so he did what he always did, he hugged me tightly. After a good minute, he slowly let go of me and took my hand.
“Hey, you okay?”
“Oh, yeah I’m totally fine. Except for the fact that this,” I did this crazy gesture. “Never stops.” I leaned against my car and took a deep breath. He rummages through his bag a bit until he pulls out my keys. WHAT THE FUDGE?!
“You dropped them in the parking lot this morning.” I smiled and said, “Thanks Seb.” Not the most original nickname.
“No problem. Let me take you home, okay?” I nodded and walked over to the passenger side and climbed in. Once I had my seatbelt on, he had already started the ignition and we started speeding down the road toward my house.
Once we got there, I noticed like five cars in the driveway. Great… I hopped out of the truck and got my bag from the back. Sebastian and I trudged up to the front door. He gave me my keys and I unlocked the door only to be met by tons of people. I mean tons!! How did this many people come in only five cars? Are they clowns? If they are…I will have a panic attack; I HATE clowns.
No one even noticed me so Sebastian and I climbed the really big staircase. I’m gonna explain how my life works really quickly. My parents are über rich and they have this rule, they don’t give me any money at all because living under their roof is generous enough. Specifically, that’s my mom’s rule and my dad is too sweet to go against it. So, in order for me to buy clothes and supplies, I have to work at some crappy restaurant downtown.
How do I get the money to dance? My grandmother gave me lessons as a birthday gift so when I go to competition, she pays for it. Thank goodness food was a part of my mother’s generosity. So, I don’t starve and that’s a step up.
Once we got to my room, Sebastian sprawled himself on my bed while I went into my bathroom to change out of my stupid school uniform. Hanging on my bathroom door was a beige dress with a black belt that was simply astounding. It was pretty simple but I still loved it. The neckline was the same as it would be on a tank top and it went down to my knee. Hanging on it was a note:
Marisa,
I picked this dress out for you. Please put it on and report downstairs immediately. And please send Sebastian home.
-Mom
Typical; she wanted me to dress up and play the world’s favorite daughter. I put on the dress and a pair of black heels sitting next to the dress. I don’t care what she said, Sebastian is staying. I walk back into my room and Sebastian’s eyes widened; he smiled and wolf-whistled until I broke out into a huge smile.
“Sexy mama in the house!!” I laughed hard and threw my brush at him. “OW!! No need to be violent. I was just being the greatest best friend in the world.” I rolled my eyes and walked to my mirror. He was right, I looked pretty good. The dress was definitely my style. I quickly French braided my hair.
“Is it mother-proof?” He got up from my bed and walked over to me. He circled me, acting like he was judging a fashion show. Finally, he spoke.
“You look…astounding. Shall we?” He offered me his arm and we descended the ridiculously long staircase and joined the party.
Every one kept giving me secretive looks and I’m so close to punching a few of them. If you have something to say, say it!! Sebastian and I finally made it to the back patio and my dad and mom were lounging with Julian’s parents which meant…he was here.
I looked around and he was sitting right across from me with a sly smirk. Oh that’s just great, perfect!
“Finally, Marisa has arrived. Sweetheart, we have some news.” My mom had her usual attitude when guest were here. I smile at her so I don’t look rude.
“And that is?” My mom smiled even bigger and said, “Julian’s parents have announced they are going on European tour.” I smiled genuinely at them and said, “Congratulations.”
My mom held up a finger and said, “But the best part is that their son will be staying with us for the next month.” My whole world just stopped…
WAS SHE CRAZY?!?! He could rape me and no one would know! I must’ve killed somebody in another life because this is going to be HELL.
