he was on his phone, so I pushed Justin outside. Me:I don't want Leo to see you. Justin's eyes were red and stingy. Me:Are you high? Justin:No, I was crying. Me:Why? Someone put glass through your leg then ditched you? Justin:NO! I feel really bad about everything, and I have tried to supress it for the past year but I can't. I said I was here to see Ryan and Chaz, but I came here to see if you could forgive me. I looked at the flowers and he passed them to me. Justin:There for you. Me:One of them is fake. Justin:That's because I won't stop feeling guilty until the last one dies. Me:Really? I said sarcastically. Then, suddenly, I had an idea. Me:Hold these. I went inside and found a lighter. Leo:What are you doing? Me:Im...murdering a grasshoper, give me a second. Leo snickered and I went outside. I grabbed the lighter and lit it and set fire to the flowers. I dropped them on the concrete walkway. Justin:WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Me:So you can stop feeling guilty. Now leave my house, leave this block, leave Startford, and leave me alone. I went inside and slammed the door. Leo:What is going on? Me:Im fixing a problem. I clapped my hands around his face. Me:And now it's fixed. I know what I did was mean, but it was a spec of dust compared to what he did to me. He took away my sense of feeling safe. To this day, im afraid to go to school because someone will slam my head into a locker. Leo:What ever you say Kitty. He finished eating and I did the dishes. We talked and he left to go home and I went to sleep. The next morning, I put on black skinny jeans, blue flats and a floral top. I looked in the mirror and let my hair out when there was a knock on my door. Leo:Are you dressed? Me:Yes. He came in and kissed my cheek. Leo:Good morning. Ready to go? Me:Yeah. I grabbed my bag and rushed downstairs and grabbed a apple and headed off with Leo. Leo:I forgot to mention how pretty you look today Chapter 9

Me:Aww. Thankyou. Leo put his arm around me and I smiled. He was the bestfriend I had ever had. When we got to school, I saw Justin talking to Chaz and Ryan, who unfortunatly, went to the same school as me. Then my friend Razel ran up to me. Razel:Oh my goodness, Justin Bieber is here. Me:Yeah, so. Razel:HELLLOOOO? Leo:I still don't get it. Razel:He's the biggest thing that ever happened to music? You know 'Baby Baby Baby Oohhh' Me:He wrote that trash? She pushed me lightly. Razel:THATS NOT TRASH! ITS ART! Im going to get his number. She scampered off to Justin's direction. Leo:I didn't know Beaver sang. Me:Me either. Leo:I got to go early to Ms.Julian for math,see you at lunch? Me:Sure. He kissed my forehead and started to walk down the block. I walked up the steps and I looked over in Razel's direction. She pointed in my direction and Justin patted her on the back. He started to walk over to me I tried to go up the stairs but my leg started to hurt. Stupid leg. Then my leg cramped up and I had to sit. Note to self:Don't call things stupid, they can hear you. Justin:Hey girl. I looked the other way and he sat down next to me. Justin:What's up? Me:The sky. Justin:What's down? Me:The economy. Justin:Funny. Me:WHAT DO YOU WANT?! Justin:Woah. I just wanted to talk to you. Are you still mad. I should've grabbed my binder and smacked him over the head. Me:Am I still mad? Give me your hand. I rolled up my pants leg and revealed the ugly scar on my leg. I grabbed his arm and put it on my leg. Me:I can't wear skirts anymore without being bombarded with questions. This reminds me of you everytime I get dressed. My future boyfriend will never be able to feel my legs without feeling that. I grabbed his hand and put it on my neck. Me:Feel that? That bothers me everytime I brush my hair or put a necklace on because it makes me think of what you did. How can I be happy when all you have caused me is bad memories? I could never forgive a evil person like you. I rolled down my pants and got up. Me:Go back to where you came from. Sing that 'BabyBabyBaby' shit and get out of here. And take Ryan and Chaz with you. I walked inside and took a deep breath. Man did it feel good to say that! I went to my locker and when I opened it, there were roses inside. I looked around and pulled them out. The note said 'Since you burned the other one's last night, maybe these could survive a little longer. Im sorry. -Justin' I eyed them and looked around. Me:Razel! I called down the hallway. She looked my way and came running. Razel:Yes Omi. Me:These flowers are from Justin, and since you love him, here you go. Razel:YOU DON'T WHAT THEM? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND? Me:No, I've gained some. The rest of the day went fine, until it was time for dismissal. I waited for Razel and I felt hand around my waist. Justin:Hey beautiful. I grabbed his hand and pushed them away, and right when I was about to smack him, Razel cut in. Razel:OMI, DON'T YOU DARE! She turned to Justin and smiled. Razel:Im sory Justin Bieber, its just, she must have Mad Cow Disease or something. Me:I have the Bieer Flu. Justin:Ha. Me:But it in the diarehea zone. Razel:I have Bieber Fever, Justin Bieber! Justin:Just call me Justin, sweetheart. Razel blushed and giggled and I grabbed her hand. Me:Lets go. Justin:Where ya' headed? He said standing in my way. Me:Home. Justin:I'll walk you. Me:No thanks. I started to walk and he just talked to Razel. She went to her house and I rolled my eyes. Justin:And then there were two... Me:Why don't you leave me alone? Go chill with Razel, Leo will be done with soccer in 30 minutes, and he will murder you. Justin:Then we have 30 minutes. I kept walking, and he followed me home. Me:LEAVE ME ALONE! Justin:Not until you talk to me without an attitude. Me:That's never going to happen. 

Chapter 10

I kept walking to my house and opened the door. Me:Goodbye Justin. I tried to slam the door but he stopped it. Justin:Didn't your mom teach you not to slam doors? I screamed and thre my bag on the floor and rushed up the stairs. Justin, ofcourse, was close behind me. Me:GET OUT OF MY HOUSE YOU STUPID DICK! Justin:I just want to talk to you. I reached out my phone, and in blinded anger, I flung it t his face. It hit him right in the eye, hard. Justin:AW FUCK! He looked up at me and I saw anger in hs eyes again. I ran up the stairs and he chased me. I ducked to my room, but before I knew it, he had me against the wall His breathing was heavy and so was mine. My heart was beating a million times a second, I thought I was going to die before he did anything. Justin:I have tried being nice to you, and all your being is a bitch. He said out of breath. I wasn't going to let him intimidate me this time. Me:What are you going to do? Hit me? Justin snapped and grabbed my cheeks with his hand and sqeezed it hard. Justin:Maybe I will. I was waiting for it. For him to strike. As I looked in his eyes, I saw no anger. I saw confusion and remorse. He wasn't going to hit me. He couldn't. Justin:I can't. He whispered and let go of my face. Justin:Ever since I left, I thought of you Naomi. How you were doing, and if you hated me- Me:I do. Justin:That's the thing. I know you do, but I can't go day to day knowing that someone hates because of something I did. He grabbed my hand and moved closer. Justin:Why do you consume my thoughts like this? Before I knew it, we were face to face. Justin leaned closer and his lips met mine. I have never kissed a boy before, I didn't know what to do. I just did like I saw in the movies and closed my eyes. He forced his toungue in my mouth and his arms were around my waist. I was so nervous, I had to stop this. I put my hands on his chest and pushed him off. Justin:Your a good kisser. I blushed slightly and looked at my feet. Me:You need to leave my house. He ran his fingers through his hair. Justin:Im sorry. I-Ill just go. He opened the door and left. I went to the staircase and grabbed my phone to call Leo. Leo:Kitty? Me:I need you. Leo:Woah. Me:I mean, I need to talk to you. Leo:Okay, i'll be right over. I hung up and picked up some stuff. Leo:Kitty! He came up the stair and hugged me. Leo:What happened? Me:I-I was coming home from school and Justin- Leo:Where is he? He said aggitated. Me:He's gone. But he followed me here aand I threw my phone at him and he was going to hit me..but.. Leo:What? Me:He kissed me. And I didn't know what to do or say so I kissed him back. But it didn't feel right so I told him to leave and...and... Tears spilled down my face. Me:Im sorry. I know you don't like him, but I was- Leo:You kissed him? Did..did you like it? Me:I don't know...that's why I kicked him out. Leo:Kitty, I have been waiting for you 5 years, and this kid that bullied you for 3 years now wants to play toungue hockey with you? 5 Years? Does that mean Leo liked me? Me:What do you mean? Leo:Kitty, I loved you since the first time I saw you in the court yard. I knew that one day, you would be mine. And I waited and waited, but nothing happened. I looked up at him, he was already looking at me. Leo:I love you Kitty, and I know that you may not love me the way I love you, but I won't let you date Justin. His voice when he said 'Justin' sounded like he wanted to murder him. Me:You love me? Like looooove me? He chucked. Leo:Yes. I just left my head on his chest and we stayed there for hours until his mom called him. He left and I thouht about the day until I went to sleep. I woke up the next day and put on a yellow shirt, and white jeans and flats and Leo knocked on the door I opened the door and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. Me:Hi. Leo:Good Morning Kitty. I looked behind me to see if my toast was ready and Leo sighed. Leo:Kitty, are you mad at me? Me:No, why? Leo:Because of yesterday...you didn't say anything...and

Chapter 11

I just, don't know how you feel about it. His face was bright red and he was staring at his feet. He was embarrased. Aww! Me:Leo, you've always been like family to me, but honestly, I used to have a major crush on you. Leo:Used to... Me:I still do. He looked up at me, his face now back to its normal shade, and smiled his beautiful smile. Leo:Really? I nodded. Me:Its just, you always had girls and parties and...your popular, and I didn't want to ruin that for you. Leo:You couldn't ruin anything...you just make my life better. I blushed and he hugged me. Leo:I love you kitty. Me:I love you Leo. I ate my breakfast and we left to school. Nothing was different, except for the butterflies in my stomach and Leo holding my hand. I have never really had a boyfriend before, this was my first. I never thought it would be Leo. I mean, I always secretly liked him, but....its strange. We arrived at school and everyone kind of stared. Then I heard a yell. From Razel ofcourse. Razel:YOU GUYS ARE TOGETHER?! Leo:Where is she? Razel:Behind you! She walked infront of us. Razel:Im small, but not that small. I can't believe it...when did this happen? I looked and Leo and he smiled. Like if he was proud to call me his girlfriend. Woah, need to get used to that word. Leo:I don't know. He said not wanting to give detail. Leo:Well, I have to go. Bye Kitty. Me:Bye Leo. He pecked my lips and he started to leave. Razel:You guys are deffatly getting married. Leo shook his head and smiled at his feet. He heard what Razel said. I really have no idea how I became friends with her. We were in Art and we got paired up together and...the rest is history. She was a short red head, with brown eyes and a curvy frame. Very pretty. Then, I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned to see Justin with his fists in his pocket. Me:You saw that? I asked embarrased. Justin:Yup. He said, popping the 'p'. Me:Im sorry, I guess. Its just, you came over and- Razel:You two hung out? Justin:Sorta, let her finish sweetheart. Razel's heart practically stopped and she remained quiet. Me:Well, you know what happened, then I called Leo and told him and he told me that he loved me. And he came over this morning and...well, you already know. Justin:Oh...isn't it a little funny how he said that after I kissed you? Don't you think?
