XxXChapter 11XxX
I start my first day of school next week. I can't wait! I've never been to a real school before. I'll probably be way behind the other kids. I'll probably be an outcast. But i'll still be happy. Bill even said if his manager says yes he can spend a semester with me. That would make me twice as happy. Today Bill wants me to get to know his brother Tom and the rest of the band. I have to make sure that I look perfect so they won't know i'm really homeless. I tryed combing through my hair with my fingers but that didn't work so I just went how I was. Bill said he would be waiting for me outside of his hotel room. I stepped into the lobby and started walking to the elevator.
"Well look if it isn't little Juju."
I turned around and was face to face with Cleo.
"What do you want Cleo?"
"What I can't say hi to one of my friends."
She walked past me and swung her arm around me but I pushed it off.
"I am not your friend."
"See Juju you shouldn't be so mean you can get hurt that way."
"Huh."
"Just watch."
The elevator doors opened and Cleo kicked my stomach so I fell into the elevator.
"See what happens when you behave badly."
I went to hit Cleo but the doors of the elevator closed. Ugh that stupid Cleo! Great now she got her stupid shoe print on my new dress. I got up and waited until the elevator reached level 3. Once it did I stepped out and saw Bill standing in front of his room.
"Hi Bill."
"Hey Julia, what happened to your dress?"
"Long story."
"Oh so are you ready to meet the others?"
"As ready as i'll ever be."
"Ok good."
Bill opened the door and led me inside. In the main room was a boy with odd hair. I think they call it dreadlocks. Next to him were 2 other boys. One had long brown hair and one had short blonde hair.At first I couldn't tell which of them was Bill's twin until I looked closely at the boy with dreadlocks and saw the resemblance.
"Guy's i'd like you to meet my girlfriend Julia."
"Hey."
"Julia this is my brother Tom, and my bandmates Georg and Gustav."
"Uh h-hi."
"So Julia how long have you and Bill been dating?"
"Oh um a few days."
"Intresting so I here you work here."
"Yeah I do."
"And your named after the hotel too."
"Right."
"Why did your parent's name you after a hotel?"
"Oh well they um well there not exactly-."
"Tom stop giving her the third degree."
"Geez sorry I just wanted to know alittle more about her."
"Well that's enough."
I looked at Bill wondering why he cut me off. I sat down in a chair next to Tom and they talked to me for awhile. They seemed really nice. I hope they like me.
"Julia do you want something to drink?"
"Um yeah could I have some water?"
"Ok."
Bill walked into the kitchen to get me water. Tom turned to face me. I could tell he was eager to ask me something.
"So Julia what school do you go to?"
"Oh um I can't go to school."
"Why not?"
"I can't afford it."
"Oh are your paret's out of a job or something?"
"Oh no I don't have any parent's."
"What?"
"I don't have parent's."
"T-then where do you live?"
"Here in the hotel, I live in the employee lounge."
"So you've lived here yyour entire life."
"No I used to live in the streets before this, didn't Bill tell you any of this?"
"Um can you excuse me a minute?'
"Oh um ok."
Bill walked in the room holding my water but Tom pushed him back into the kitchen. I got up and listened at the door. I don't usually eavesdrop but this I need to hear.
"Bill why didn't you tell us!"
"Tell you what?"
"That your little girlfriend is a homeless orphan living in the employee lounge of a hotel!"
"I didn't think it would matter."
"Of course it matters!"
"Why do you care where she comes from?"
"Because if the media finds out about her your reputation is going down the toilet!"
"Well maybe that's why I didn't tell you!"
"But how could you date someone like her."
"Because I like her."
"But she's a street rat you can't like her!"
There was that word. Street rat. The word I dread hearing the most. I bet in the dictionary next to the word street rat is a picture of me. Because for everyone else it seems to define me. That one word I hate the most.
"Tom don't you EVER say that about her again!"
"Fine but don't come crying to me when you reputation get's ruined."
"I don't care about my reputation all I care about is that girl out there."
"Please I know that's not true!"
"W-what makesyou say that?"
"Because if you really cared about her you would've told us the truth about her. You wouldn't care what we thought about her. But you know what you didn't!"
"Shutup Tom!"
"NO i'm just trying to save you the humiliation!"
"J-just leave me alone!"
"Not until you get rid of her!"
"No I won't!"
"Fine then, but when you find out you don't reall care about her and you break her little homeless heart and you start feeling guilty don't expect me to fix it!"
"I wouldn't have come to you anyway because you never do anything to help me!"
I heard something crash and I started backing away from the door. I ran out of the hotel tears gathering in my eyes. I knew this was to good to be true. Tom was right he doesen't really care about me. I'm probably just a one time thing. Get me into bed then throw me away like i'm some magazine! Well that's not going to happen. I won't let it happen. I always knew I was never meant to love. Now I see the proof right before my very eyes.
