I'm gonna skip school again today. I haven't told Silver about Aaron. I heard that he's gonna be in jail for five years. And Aaron said nothing to the police about Silver. He won't press any charges on her. So she's save. At least she's not going to jail. My mom went to London today. She asked me to go with her, but i can't leave Silver alone. Besides, i have to study for my SAT test tomorrow. We're all gonna graduate next week. Wow, i can't believe that high school is over. Me and G were planning to go to Yale. Because my mom and G's went to Yale too. I went to the kitchen and ate my breakfast. Vero made me apple pie. Silver loves apple pie. Well , who doesn't ? I went to the guest room and wake her.
"S, you need to eat something" i gave her the apple pie.
"Thanks Cate" she said slowly "You know i love apple pie" she smiled.
Silver looked so much better than yesterday. She looks happy and her eyes and nose looked normal. A couple minutes later, my phone rang, it was Vincent. I pick it up.
"Yes ?" i asked
"Are you home ?" he asked back
"Uhuh, why ?"
"Can someone open the door please ?" he said
"Oh my sorry, ok waity, i'm coming"
I went downstairs and opened the door. Vincent and G were there. We went to the guest room and saw Silver trying to call someone.
"Who are you calling S ?" i asked
"Aaron. He won't pick up his damn phone! What the
fuck is wrong with him?" she groaned
"You haven't told her Cate ?" Vincent asked.
Ah great, Professor Vincent just asked me that and now if i tell Silver about Aaron, she's gonna freak out. Hell yeah , she looked at us and then asked "Told me what ? Are you guys hiding something ?" she asked panicly.
I was speechless for a while cause i don't want to hurt her feelings.
"Aaron went to jail. Well, Vincent called the police and told them everything. So they arrested Aaron. I'm sorry Silver" i explained.
"That means i'm going to jail too ?" she asked curiously.
"Nah, Aaron said nothing about you. You are safe. You're not going to jail" G said.
"I'm not going to jail ? That's awesome. Thanks Vince ! Man, i love you" she jumped from the bed and hugged Vincent.
We were so confused and asked her "Why are you happy ? I thought you'd be angry ?"
"Well poor Aaron, but i'm save. I thought i was going to jail but i'm not. I just , i felt nothing for Aaron for now you know. Oh and one more thing, i applied to Yale too" she giggled.
This is going to be awesome. The six of us in Yale, together again. A couple minutes later, my phone rang. It was Calvin. My favorite cousin ever. He's handsome, gorgeous, and everything. He's so perfect, just like me. He lives in California with his parents. He doesn't have any siblings. He said that he's on his way to my house. I told everyone about Calvin. I hope they like him. He's going to join us in Yale and he said he was going to Princeton, but he didn't get accepted so he's going to Yale too. Before we finished talking about my perfect cousin, Calvin, Vero came in after she knocked.
"Ms. Stewart, Calvin is already downstairs" she said.
"Tell him to come in here" i ordered.
Vero went downstairs and she asked Calvin to go to my room. After a while, a brown haired guy with a pair of brown eyes came in to my room. I can't believe that's Calvin. He changed a lot. He looked so much better than the last time i saw him. I would date him if he's not my cousin. I would definitely date him. He was wearing blue jeans and black t-shirt. He looks amazing. He brought his big brown suite case and bought me some merchandise from Laguna Beach. I introduced him to all of my friends. They looked at him like he's a beautiful person.
"Calv ! Oh, i miss you so much! " i gave him a big warm hug.
His smell was so familiar. He was wearing his Calvin Klein perfume i think. He hugged me back.
"I know Cate , i miss you too. So those are your friends ? My new friends ?" he asked
I nodded. Their faces looke fine. We decided to watch some movies. What on earth was Calvin doing ? He kept starring at Silver like she was something to eat. Suddenly, Silver realized that Calvin was starring at her.
"Calvy, what are you looking at ? The TiVo is right over there" i pointed to my TiVo.
"Nothing, umm, Silver. Does she have a boyfriend ?" he asked nerveouslly.
"No, actually, she just broke up with her boyfriend" i said.
After those words that i said, he smiled. Crap ! What is he going to do now ? Flirt with S ? Hm i think so. But no. Calvin is a playboy and he dated two girls in one day. That's crazy !
"Umm, i was wondering if maybe all of you wanna go to the club tonight ? " Calvin asked.
Argh, here it goes. He's going to flirt with Silver there.
"Nah, no time Calv. We have to study for our SAT test tomorrow" i said.
"Agreed !" Silver said.
Silver ? Refused to go to night clubs ? What is this ? A mirracle or what ? She loves clubbing. But that's good. At least she's playing hard to get. Calvin is not good enough for her. Calvin looked dissapointed. He walked out the door and went to the other guest room. I helped him and went to his room becayse i felt bad. I mean he's my cousin, i love him , and of course he loves me too. I talked to him and i'm glad that he understood. I apologized too , because we can't go to the nightclub with him. A couple hours later, we decided to start studying. Urgh, i can't concentrate. But we finished studying around 11.30 pm. Calvin already went to the nightclub. When i walked out towards the kitchen, i saw Silver went out with Calvin. I gasped. Calvin was waiting for Silver all along. Oh my, that is so unexpected. I ran back to my room and told everyone about it. So we decide to go after them. When we arrived at the nightclub, Silver and Calvin were sitting in the bar and i saw them talking and laughing and stuff. Calvin and Silver seems really into each other, so we ignored them. Around 1.30 am, we went back to my house and went to bed.
The next day, we went to our school and did our SAT test. We did the test for a week and got our results the next week. On our graduation day, the girls went and assembled in my house and the boys assembled in Vince's house. We decided to meet up at school, because our parents are already there. I rent a limo towars the graduation. When we arrived at school, we met up with the boys and went to our seats. The school principal called our name and we went to the main stage according to the alphabet. Then, just like what they usually did in graduation, we threw our hat at the end of the celebration. We walked in to my limo and had lunch together. Then, we went to my place and get ready for the prom night. Yeah, we're so excited, because this is our first prom night. Me, Silver, G, Gina and Demi went to RKBridal Boutique and bought our prom dresses. After we're done shopping we went to Vera Wang Flagship Salon and then went back to our own houses, dressed up, and the next thing to do is wait for my Austin. After waiting for a while and looking at myself in the mirror, Austin showed up with his limo and he put a crochage on my wirst. He looked so handsome in his black suit.
"How do i look ?" i asked him.
"Wonderful" he smiled.
We starred at each other's eyes for a moment and then his lips landed softly on mine.
"Okay, we need to go now, or we're going to be late" i said.
And then i grab my purse and went outside with Austin and he opened the car door for me. It takes 20 minutes from my house to The NY Palace Hotel. When we arrived, i can feel all eyes in the room was starring at me.
"Is it just me or everyone's staring at us ?" i asked Austin.
"I don't think it's us. I think it's you" he said
"Why me ?"
Well i dont have to aske, i know that i looked awesome.
"Maybe because you are the most beautiful girl in the world" he said then i gave him a crooked smile.
And then, i saw G and Vincent, Gina and Demi with their dates for tonight and what blows my mind is Silver and his date.
"Calvin ? You're Silver's date?" i asked.
"Yup, well she didn't have any date for tonight , so i thought it will be nice to take her to the prom and luckily she said yes! " Calvin expalined.
Oh well , it's okay i think. Calvin is my cousin, he's not that bad.
A few minutes later, Calvin came back with a glass of punch and gave it to me and Silver. Before i finished my punch, a beautiful song played. And Austin asked me to dance and i said yes. So we danced for a quite a long time, and suddenly the song stopped playing and now is the time for the announcement for the king and the queen. The moment we're all have been waiting for, all of a sudden, the ball became so quite.
"Tonight's prom queen is..."
Everyone looked so nerveous and curious. Some of them closed their eyes hoping that the MC would say their names. I'm sure that the MC will say my name.
"Caitlin Stewart!" i knew it ! I came up to the main stage and wore the crown.
But i'm still curious who will be the king.
"And tonight's prom king is..." now it's my turn to close my eyes and hope that Austin will be the king.
"Jesse Maxiliamus !" WHAT ? Jesse ? He came up and wore the king's crown.
As usual , the king and queen has to dance in the center of the ball. I looked at Austin to make sure that he's okay with it. He gave me a smile to let me know that he's okay. While Jesse and i dance, it reminded me about good times that we shared together in the past. But i chose to let go of the good times and start a new relationship with Austin. Even though, i had good times with Jesse, i never regret choosing Austin instead of Jesse. When the song ended, something unexpected just happened. When i was about to go back to Austin, Jesse pulled my hand and he kissed me. I pushed him back and slapped him. Everyone was starring at us. I was so embarrassed. I ran outside and i saw Silver was going after me. I pulled out my car keys and get in to the car. Silver sat next to me.
"You okay girl ?" she asked me.
"Not really, i can't believe he kissed me !" i yelled at Silver.
I was so shocked that he kissed me in front of everyone especially my boyfriend.
When i was about to say something, Austin knocked the window, and i opened.
"Hey Aus" i smiled, wiped my tears away and acted cool to him.
"Silver, do you mind if i talk to Cate for a sec ?" he asked.
Silver shooked her head and walked away from my car. Austin started to talk.
"How was it ?" he asked. He made me confused.
"How was what ?" i asked back.
"The kiss. Did you kiss him back or something ?"
No, no i didn't. I don't know. Oh my i didn't kiss him back i believe i didn't do that.
