My Brother's Best Friend

XXXVII

Friday evening
----------------

I stepped out the shower and walked to my room. I'm so excited for the dance tonight. I put on my undergarments then pulled out my gray dress. I curled my hair then did my makeup. I slipped on my gray heels then put on accessories. I walked downstairs and saw everyone. They all look great. Julian walked over and hugged me. I smiled then my dad and Rena walked in. "Let us get a picture." Rena said. We got closer and smiled for the picture.

After a couple pictures we piled up in the car. Carter drove off and Quinn turned on the radio. We pulled up at school and got out. Julian grabbed my hand as we walked in to the building. We got to the gym and I went straight to the food table. I swear I'm fat. I love food though. I grabbed two slices of pizza and cookies with punch. I walked to a table and sat down. I put a napkin on my lap then started eating.

"Hey Sinead." Dylan said. "Hey." I smiled. "You look nice." He replied. "Thanks, so do you." I smiled. He smiled at me then walked away. I finished eating then threw my trash away. I sat back down and looked around. I don't know where any of my friends are. They left me. I swear they're so lame. I pulled out my phone and started reading.

After an hour of being alone and bored Julian walked over. "There you are." He said. "Here I am." I replied. "I was look everywhere for you." He said. Well you weren't looking hard enough. "You wanna dance?" He asked and I nodded. He helped me up and held my hand as we walked to the dance floor.

We got there and he wrapped his arms around my waist. I placed mine on his shoulder. We started swayiing back and forth and I looked up at him. "You're so beautiful baby." He said. "Thank you." I smiled. He pulled me closer and I placed my head on his chest. I could hear his heart beat and it was beating so fast. I couldn't help but smile. He's so great. I looked to my right and saw Brittany, Trisha, and Ashley staring at me. I stuck my tongue out at then turned away.

After Julian and I danced to about three songs we walked back to the table and sat down. "How do you like your first dance?" He asked. "Its okay." I said and nodded. "Sinead, there's been something that I wanna talk to you about." He said. I hope it isn't bad.

"What?" I asked. "Well earlier today got the opportunity to graduate in April and go straight to college." He said. "Really? That's great babe." I smiled. "But the college I'm going to is in Virginia." He said. "That's on the other side of the country." I replied. 

"I know but this is an opportunity I can't pass up." He said. "Follow your dreams Julian." I said. "I want you to come with me." He replied and I gaped. "I have a whole year left in school." I said. "I know but you can finish there." He said. "Julian, I don't know." I replied. "Think about it?" He asked and I nodded. I love him but I don't think I can just leave. I'm comfortable here I don't think it'll be easy for me there.

Our friends came over and sat down. "We saw y'all dancing." Amber said and I smiled. "Julian doesn't even dance, you must be a keeper." This guy said. "She sure is." Julian said grabbing my hand. I chuckled at his actions and he wrapped his arm around my waist. He's really possessive.

"So, Brittany is really upset." Harper said. "Why?" I asked. "When Quinn and I were in the restroom she was throwing a temper tantrum because somebody bumped her." She said and I laughed. "She's such a drama queen." Carter said and I agreed.

Thirty minutes later the principal walked on stage. "Okay students, its time to pass out rewards." He said. The room fell silent and everyone looked at him. "For best dressed female, it goes to Brittany Posner." He said. Everyone clapped but I didn't. She accepted her reward with the most fake smile ever. She walked off and the principal continued.

The dance is over and I'm so ready to go home. Carter and Quinn won best couple and they were ecstatic. We piled into the car and Carter drove off. Adrian was with this girl named Savannah and they were really cute together. I think he got her number but I'm not sure. "Did you have fun Sinead?" Ryan asked. "Yeah." I replied. "Cool." He replied. I nodded and looked out the window.

We got home and got out. The girls went their separate ways but I know the guys are staying over because they're going to a football game tomorrow. They're gonna be gone all day. The girls and I are going to spend the day together while they're gone. So tonight I want Julian to myself. I walked into my room and changed into shorts and a tank top. I hung the dress up then wiped the makeup off my face. I threw my hair into a bun then Julian walked in.

We climbed in bed then I turned on pretty little liars. I snuggled up with him then pulled the blanket over us. He wrapped his arms around me then kissed my head. I put my head on his chest. "I love you Sinead." He said rubbing my back. "I love you more Julian." I replied as I drifted off to sleep. He's so amazing.
