Chapter 11
"He kissed me! Can you believe that he kissed me? Like I was so surprised! We were talking and suddenly baam! Did you see us Marcus? You were next to us! Anyways, he is so hot!" Roxie rambles about her hookup with Ben last Friday in his party.
I sigh and rest my chin on top of the palm of my hand as I drift away from this conversation and let my mind go to Louis. I wonder what would of happened if Marie would of come into my room a couple of minutes later. I would of got my first kiss. Louis was going to kiss me and I was going to kiss him. I smile and clutch on my stomach as the tingly feelings attack. I wish he stayed with me. I didn't want to let him leave. It felt so nice having him lay next to me with his arms wrapped around me. The way his head nuzzled into the crook of my neck and I could feel him breath. His breath tickled so much. I felt him leave a kiss there. I touch my neck and accidentally let out a giggle.
"What the bloody hell is wrong with her?" I hear Roxie say and it cuts me out of my thoughts. My cheeks turn into a dark shade of red and I scrunch up my nose. This is embarrassing.
"Why are you so giggly?" Marcus asks and takes a bite of his sandwich.
"Are you thinking about Louis again?" Roxie raises her eyebrow and comes closer to me. "Are you having dirty thoughts about him? Did my little fling with Ben made you a bit-"
"Roxie!" I awkwardly eat my apple to hide away my face. "Come on, you didn't tell us what happened this Friday. Tell us! Did you kiss? Did you finally lose your-"
"What is wrong with you?" I throw my napkin at her and she rolls her eyes. "Come on Jules, spill!" I sigh and put my apple down.
"He came over and I accidentally almost broke his fingers." I mumble.
"Wow, you're that tight huh." I look at Roxie confused and Marcus chokes but then hits her arm, making her glare at him.
"What?"
"Nothing, Roxie is an idiot. How did you almost break his fingers?" Marcus asks as he reaches for his non existent glasses. Since Roxie broke his glasses last Friday Marcus hasn't got new ones and it seems that he is not used to being with no glasses on. I think he is using contact lenses because his eyes are so red.
"He climbed up the window and my mom was about to get into my room so I slammed the window on his fingers." I explain and they chuckle.
"Couldn't have signaled him that your mom is in the room?" Marcus grins and I glare at them for making fun of me.
"I panicked!" They ignore me as they look at something behind me and I wave my hand in front of them, trying to gain their attention back but then they just grin. "Wha-" two arms wrap around me from behind and suddenly I'm being lift from the bench. The person leaves a kiss on my cheek and immediately I recognize those soft lips against my skin. He just gave me a heart attack.
I turn around and slap his chest. "You scared me!" He pokes my nose as I glare at him and he grins. I try to look mad but his silly little grin makes it so hard so I end up laughing.
"They are so cute!" I hear Roxie say and it reminds me that we are in the middle of the cafeteria. People are looking at us. They know the history between our families. Not good. Most of them are connected to either of our families.
"Uh, Louis can we go somewhere else." I try to signal him that people are looking at us and whispering. They can tell their parents and their parents will tell my parents.
"Wow! That fas-" I grab his hand and quickly walk out of the cafeteria with him.
"What's wrong? Why so eager?" He laughs. We reach a staircase and I hide. This spot is known as the hookup spot. People come here to make out and god knows what else. I'm surprised no one is here during lunch time.
"Louis, you do realize that we are not at my house or your garage right?" I ask with all seriousness and he shrugs.
"Your parents aren't here." He grabs a thread of my hair and twirls it around his finger. "They don't have to be to know that I was with you. Be more careful, please!" I tell him and he sighs.
"Okay." He smiles and leans a bit closer to me. "I'm surprised you took me to this spot. Are you hinting something?" I scoff and wrap my arms around my chest. "Yeah, I actually find this spot perfect for," I step closer, "perfect to murder someone." He laughs loudly and I smile at the sound of his laugh. I'm so over heels for him.
"How do you manage to come in?" I ask and he shrugs. "Your security staff are a bunch of idiots." I roll my eyes and sit on the floor, crisscross. He sits facing me and grabs my knee sock, dragging it down. "Stop it! You're like a little kid." I raise my sock and he does it again, but leaves his hand on my knee this time. His touch makes me blush, but I try my best to act like it doesn't phase me.
"I really like this uniform." He says and I nod. "On you." I slap his hand away out of panic and he jumps.
"So, how are your hands? They still hurt?" I ask and he shakes his head. "No, it stopped hurting right after we fell asleep. But it bloody hurt." I grab his hand and he intertwines our fingers.
"Listen, our situation is kind of complicated but I was thinking-" his phone rings and he picks it up. "What? You just interrupted a very-"
"No. We can't rehearsal today. Because we just can't! I'm busy." He groans and squeezes my hand a bit hard. "Ow." I wince and his eyes widen. He raises my hand to his lips and kisses it as he mouths an apology. It's like he knows exactly how to make me nervous and all our my weak spots. But it seems like with him all spots are my weak spots the moment he lays a finger on.
"Bye!" He hangs up and I look at him confused. "Why can't you rehearsal today?" I ask. I would like to come to one of his rehearsals'. Louis sings so beautifully and plays so well too. I can listen to him sing and play the guitar all day.
"I wanted to ask you out." I gasp. "You know, we can go get an ice cream, watch a movie or something." I scrunch up my nose and rapidly nod my head, without thinking.
"Yes! Yes, uh, sure." I immediately calm myself to not sound too excited and he laughs. "Great. Where should we meet up?" He asks and I shrug.
"I think my parents work all day so I can sneak out, Mary will help." I tell him and he smiles.
"So at the park right after Mrs. Dornan's house at, uh, six o'clock?" I nod and he rubs his thumb over my hand. We sit quietly as we stare at each other and it feels like he's leaning closer to me. Oh my god. I slowly lean as well but then I sneeze.
"Bless you." He chuckles and I thank him. If it's not Marie it's a sneeze.
"So having fun at school?" More since you're here.

"First, we need to find an outfit for you and then-" I open the door and my eyes widen when I see Melanie and not Marie. "Your dad told me you're grounded, so no friends over!" She turns to look at Roxie and she slowly backs away from the door. "Okay, I'll just say bye." I walk out of the house and turn to her.
"Make it quick." Melanie snaps and walks away. I hate her.
"Okay, it's all ruined. I forget Marie is not going to be during this whole week." I panic and Roxie shakes me by my shoulder. "No! You can sneak out. She never comes to check on you and it gives you a perfect two hours for her to realize something is off." She says and I nod.
"And in case it doesn't work out, you can send a message to Louis. You got your laptop, right?" I nod and she smiles. "It's all good. Now about your outfit. Don't you dare wear one of those long ass skirts! Wear that cute top that I always want to take and some denim jeans. Shoes, anything that you can run in and climb." She hugs me and wishes me good luck.
"Love you!" I tell her and we say our goodbyes.
I get inside the house and close the door. Okay, I can do this. I have already sneaked out once or twice. Melanie is usually at the living room watching TV when my parents are not home. My parents will be working until late because it's Monday. This can work. Maybe even for an hour. As long as I get to see Louis everything will be okay.
I head to the stairs and then I hear laughter. No. Not that laugh. A loud, fake and hideous laugh echoes and I count the days that have passed ever since my mom told me they will be here. Two weeks. It has been two weeks already? The plastics are here? The laugh is heard again, confirming my thoughts and I shake my head. I'm doomed. The plan is not going to work out.
I slowly drag my body to the living room and I see the most fake people I have ever seen sitting on the sofa with my parents, but my supposed soon to be husband is sitting on the piano's chair. Obviously was showing off or was about to show off his piano skills. My mom smiles at me when she sees me, a big smile. When she does that it means that I need to smile and be polite.
"Juliet!" Mrs. Cameron says and I widely smile at her. "Oh what a delight to see you!" She gets up and gives me a big hug. My face is being shoved into her big boobs and it's sad to say that I'm used to it. They seem to be bigger. She probably got another boob job.
"You too! You look lovely as ever, Mrs. Cameron! I must say, your dress is outstanding." My mom nods in approval and I'm finally released from her bear hug. She hates me and I hate her. When I was a kid I used to laugh at her plastic surgeries saying she looked like a monster. I would run away from her in front of everybody, making a very awkward scenario for her. I would run away now if I could get away with it.
I step away and turn to Mr. Cameron, an old man that carries with him the fragrance of cigars and never leaves his house without the famous smudge grin that says "I'm richer than you". He gets up and hugs me but quickly pulls away. He needs to be careful to not get his suit wrinkles, after all he is all made of wrinkles. He is the usual rich old man that marries a woman twenty years younger than him.
"You still at school?" He asks and glances at his son, since he William graduated earlier. You still alive?
"Yes, sir. Finishing this year college and then I'll be headed to university. I'm going to follow my dad's steps as you know." Mr. Cameron pats my shoulder and smiles.
"Oh indeed. Women seem to be trying to show they can lead a company and not only a beauty salon. Have you noticed?" He now turns to my parents as he sits next to his wife. I notice my mom tense for a second as he said that but her fake smile is still there as my dad laughs, but holds my mom's hand, calming her. I'm glad my dad doesn't think that way.
Then, last but not least, William Bennett Cameron. He's smugly smiling at me and even winks, dressed in a suit for some reason. I try to hold myself together as I walk to him. He knows I hate him. Ever since we were little we used to fight all the time and I always made him cry. Still making him cry to these days. Last time I kneed him and he wanted to call his mommy but he couldn't. It would of hurt his man ego.
He gets up and grabs my hand, raising it to his lip. He kisses it and I inwardly throw up. It's nothing compared to Louis. I fake the biggest smile and kiss both of his cheeks. "How have you been? it's been so long!" I fake enthusiasm and William goes even beyond when he hugs me.
"Getting hotter and hotter for me, huh?" The pig whispers.
"It's been so long since I last kneed you, huh?" Immediately William pulls away and I smile.
I turn away and suddenly feel a hand on my bum. My eyes widen and I bite my lip to not say anything that will get me in trouble, but I do something. I step on his foot as hard as I can as I politely smile at everybody. "If you excuse me, I'll be going to my room now. Happy to see you again." I excuse myself but don't forget to step on his foot on more time, letting out an innocent ups.
"We'll be having dinner later, but do come beforehand. After all, we have company." My mom tells me and I nod.
"Right after I finish my homework." I quickly leave to my room and the moment I get there I grab a pillow and yell into it, letting out everything.
Today is ruined. This whole week is ruined. There is no way now I can see Louis. Today was supposed to be our first date! Louis asked me out on a date! My first date ever and with Louis is ruined. I'm supposed to meet up with him in two hours. I need to tell him today is cancelled.
I grab my laptop and turn it on as I sit on my bed. I rapidly tap my finger against the keyboard as I impatiently wait for the laptop to turn on. It feels like ages when it's actually seconds and it finally turns on. I click on the browser and quickly type Facebook. It takes time for it load and I groan.
"Failed to connect." I read. It says there must be an error and it can't load the page. I check my internet but no, it's perfectly working when I type another site. I try again and it keeps saying the same. I end up reading the whole thing and gasp when I realize it says the page has been blocked. My dad has blocked Facebook. I try other social websites and they all seem to fail to load.
No! No! No! This is my only way to communicate with Louis. How am I supposed to tell him that I won't make it? I can't even tell Roxie so she could tell him for me. This day is just getting worse.
I hopelessly refresh the Facebook page and it keeps showing me "failed to connect." Fail, fail, failed. I failed to meet up with Louis and tell him that I won't make it. He's going to think I stood him up.
A tear rolls down my cheek and I slam my computer shut. I hug my legs and start to cry. This is not fair.
I'm sorry Louis!
