(( Before I begin, I want to say that I found nowhere Billy's canon birthday, so I'm just using my best friend's as a reference. <3 ))

"You did it, babe! You did it! Congrats!" I jumped up and down, hugging Billy as he got 87% for his 5th test and his grades kept getting better and better. "At this rate you're gonna get an A, not just a B!" I grinned widely, taking his test and putting it in my archives portfolio. "Say, are you tryina steal my scholarship, love~?" I teased with a poor excuse of a smirk.

"I did it thanks to your help, Kitten. And thanks to you, we got an A+ at the project, so there's only the exams to take and we're settled for life." he chuckled, leaning in to steal a kiss.
"Do you...Do you wanna go back to Cali? It is one of the states we can study in with our scholarship, and the Uni is super close to the beach." I jumped on the desk, dangling my feet back and forth, imagining how it'd be.
"If that gives me an excuse to see you in a bathing suit, then sure thing." he laughed, sitting down on the chair in front of me and putting his head on my thighs. "So soft..." he muttered, closing his eyes.
"I've never been to the beach before. Could you teach me how to swim?" I asked, my eyes gleaming with stars imagining the cool water and the hot sand.
"Anything for you, babe. It'll be fun, I assure ya." he smiled, most likely imagining as well.
"Well, there's only like half a year until we go there. It's already April 1st and the exams are in June...Have you thought about what you wanted to study?" I asked, playing with his hair soothingly.
"Mhh...I was thinking of Engineering...I'm no genius like you, babe, but I ain't stupid. I think I could handle that." he muttered, almost as if he didn't want to think about the future.
"That sounds lovely! Engineers are very well paid and nicely seen in society! We'll be so cool together!" I clapped a bit in excitement, earning a chuckle.
"You're so adorable when you're happy." he smiled slight, looking up at me.

Things were looking promising for us and everything seemed like a real life Nirvana...But as usual, the good stuff doesn't last too long and there's always something that completely ruins everything and reminds you that life is cruel and maybe you shouldn't trust anyone...Maybe not even yourself.

When I went to put some books in the locker, I notice something shiny, which proved to be Billy's 'K' necklace that I gifted him at Christmas, only, the latch was broken. I wonder how did it get here...? I thought nobody else knew my locker combination.
I put in the necklace in my pocket and closet it, making a mental note to change it soon before anything weird happens again and walk to my next class.
On the way there, I see Billy on the bench with two girls on either side of him, shamelessly flirting and he seemed to be enjoying it.
Huh...

"Hey...Billy..." I go in front of him, ignoring the glares from the girls. "How are you?"
"Pretty damn good, to be fair." he smirked up at me. "Why you askin'?"
"Uhm...I found this in my locker. Thought you might want it back...But the latch is broken." I explained, showing him the necklace, and yet, he was barely paying any attention.
"Oh, yeah, I took it off for Basketball practice today and then forgot where I put it. Can ya repair it for me?" he asked, leaning back on the seat.
"Yeah...Sure. See you later." I muttered, walking away to the class, holding the necklace tightly in my fist, a very dark feeling overflooding my heart.

Just...What the hell is going on...?

This kept repeating more and more with each day, sometimes outright ignoring me, or giving me empty answers, going to stay with his 'friends' and so on...And I kept asking myself what did I do wrong.
I kept trying to call him every night, but he either ignored it, or picked up the phone and then closing the call the next second.
And trying to talk to him at highschool seemed to be close to impossible nowadays...
But at least Nancy, Jonathan and Steve were okay with me staying with them, and them made me feel slightly better.
After all, it was nice to have friends...I guess.

I kept myself busy with studying and I didn't even realise that I didn't speak to the kids in quite a long time.
It's just...Everything was making me get in such a Vertigo state that I forgot that I was alive.

It all just felt like a never-ending nightmare from which I found no escape...
Until April 12th.
Billy's birthday.

It was a fine Friday and I was going to put his gift in his locker, then give him the necklace I managed to repair.
I was looking down, walking down the corridor, holding the neatly wrapped package in one hand, while in the other I gripped the necklace really hard, until I saw a sight that made me wish I wouldn't have woken up that day.

Billy and Tina were making out like there was no tomorrow, her pressed on his locker.

My face was shocked, but my heart felt stabbed and betrayed more than Caesar with Brutus.
I let out a breath of amusement and disbelief, making him realise someone was there, and upon seeing me, he pushed Tina off him and tried walking towards me.
I just shook my head in disgust, throwing the package in the nearest trash room and letting the necklace fall to the ground, not realising that I kept gripping it so hard that the sharp edges broke skin and let a few droplets of blood escape.

"Don't even dare get closer to me. I don't want to ever see you again. You're nothing more than a liar, and fuck, your asshole of a father was right about you. Hell, maybe everyone was right about you. You're just a fucking jerk and a whore with no morals or cares in this world. I regret the day I got to talk to you. I was so wrong to trust someone again..." I gritted my teeth before rushing out of the building, wanting to drive back home already.
"Wait! Kitten, wait up! I can explain! It's not as it looks like!" he tried to yell after me, but I turned around with such a poisonous glare, despite tears already escaping my eyes, that it made him rooted to the spot.
"Explain WHAT, Hargrove?! That you cheated on me when you promised you'd never leave me? That you betrayed me, when you promised never to hurt me?! Really? What about 'Respect and Responsibility'? What about 'I'm a man of my words'? Are all of those lies too? Tsk...You're just a spoiled brat, that's it! Never speak to me again! And don't call me Kitten! My name is Katrina Black, a name you will never get to speak again in your life!" I sneered at him, about to leave, but then I remembered the accessory around my neck, which made my roll my eyes in annoyance and go in front of him. "Oh, and one more thing...Give this to your next hook up, so they'll feel good that you claimed them." I growled, ripping off the necklace from my neck and hitting his chest with it.
"Wait, don't do that, you'll get hurt!" he tried to say before seeing me rip the necklace, but it was too late.
"Not more than what you did to me." I said in a low voice before getting on my motorbike and stopping by the nearest market on my way home. "Happy Birthday, fuckass!"

As soon as I got home, I changed in only my AC/DC Tshirt and went to sit on the bathroom floor with the cassette next to me, putting music at max volume and staring at the many bottles of vodka and cigarette packs surrounding me.

Well...Here goes nothing...

5 hours later, my head was spinning like crazy, the bathroom was smokier than London's great smog and I kept screaming the lyrics to the songs that kept playing on repeat, not even realising that anymore, nor that tears kept wetting my face.
I was a mess because honestly, I really couldn't take this betrayal.
I hate liars so much...

After I finished the 2nd Vodka bottle, I got up somehow and wanted to get a 3rd, but the phone ringing in my room made me groan in annoyance as I gripped the walls and fell on the bed, picking up the phone.

"Ye...? Who dere?" I slurred out, not even sure what I was saying was coherent or not.
"Hey, Kat? Are you alright? I heard what happened today with that jerk and...Well, he went livid. He kept beating up anyone who dared to say anything about you...It was quite the sight." Nancy's sweet and worried voice called out, making me sigh.
"Ye, 'm fine, j'st super drunk. Fuck tha' asshole. He ain't worth shit. F'kin cheat'r." I managed to blurt out, making Nancy sigh as well.
"Do you want me to come over and take care of you? Or I can call Jonathan or Steve if you feel more comfortable with them? I know you and Max were very close, but at this hour, I doubt she'd be able to come over..." she tried to suggest, but I only shook my head, forgetting that she can't see it.
"'S fine, Nance, thanks a lot fo' worryin' 'bout me. Appreciate it. I'll be fine, 'm jus' super pissed off. T'll go 'way soon." I declared, clearing my throat.
"Okay, Kat...I hope you know what you're doing. Please take care of yourself...Sweet dreams." she told me before she hung up, making me groan as I put back the phone and went to get the vodka bottle and sit back in the bathroom.
"Mhh...Wonder how long till I pass out..." I muttered, forcing myself to open the 3rd bottle.

It was now Monday, and please, nobody ever leave me next to alcohol and cigarettes 'cause I swear to God I'm gonna go crazy.
I puked so much that I thought my guts were out and my lungs exploded from the smoke.
And the fact that I'm still exhausted like hell was understandable.

Everything went as it usually did, classes and then lunch, where for some reason or another, Billy decided to sit down next to me, making me groan and leave without a word.
Of course he followed me to the courtyard, where he just had to stop me and spin me around to look at him.

"First of all, what the hell do you want?! Secondly, who gave you the right to TOUCH me?" I yanked my wrist from his hand and glared at him.
"Can we please talk?" he tried to say, but I only tsked in annoyance and looked away.
"Why would we? We have nothing to talk about. You fucked up, it's all on you. I'm leaving." I shrugged, ready to leave, but he stopped me again.
"I...I'm sorry. I fucked up, you're right. I hurt you, I broke my promises and I did exactly what I promised I wouldn't do. You didn't deserve any of that." he confessed, looking at me.
"Funny you should say that...Considering that you're almost quoting what I said a few days ago...When you were too busy fucking Tina." I scoffed, giving him a sarcastic smile.
"Yes, I know, I fucked up, and I can't ever ask you to forgive me. I deserved the phone call from two days ago where you cursed me into oblivion-" he started, making my eyes go wide in shock. "I did WHAT?!" I asked in horror, making him look confused at me. "You...Don't remember that? It lasted for about an hour. You were crying, cursing and insulting me. It really broke my hear..." he muttered, looking away, but my face of horror was still there.
"Fuck, I must have been really drunk to remember talking to Nancy, but not calling you to randomly curse you...Great." I slapped my face in annoyance.
"You hate alcohol." he stated, but I only shrugged.
"I hate cigarettes too, but that didn't stop me from going full auto-destruct mode for 3 days before getting back to normal when I didn't care about anyone. Bye, Hargrove, I have nothing more to say to you." I turned to leave, but for the millionth time, I got stopped.
"On the phone...You said...You said that you loved me. Did you, really...?" he barely breathed, making me stop dead in my tracks.
"What, you thought I'd stay with you out of pity or something? 'Cause I felt lonely by myself? OF COURSE I DID, DUMBASS! Use that stupid brain of yours once in a while and maybe you'll answer your own questions!" I threw my hands in the air in exasperation.
"You...You also said you wanted to beat the hell out of me...So, you deserve to let your anger out on me. Do what will make you feel better." he said in resignation, looking at the ground with a pitiful look. "I deserve everything and I will take anything. I hurt you...And I really suck." he said in such a godamn pitiful voice that in made anger boil in me like never before.
"What the FUCK do you want?! Do you want my pity? Do you want me to forgive you? THAT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN! You just want to fuck, that's all you want! I was always just another girl on your stupid list, just another name and another challenge! I HATE YOU!" I turned to slap him, but...But just as my hand was about to collide with his face, I stopped and I started shaking and crying. "Fuck's sake...I can't do it..." I muttered with a sigh as I gritted my teeth in annoyance.
"You can't hurt me even now, after how much I hurt you...You still love me, and all I did was throw away your love like a spoiled brat...The truth is, I...I realised my feelings for you...I realised how much I care about you, and it was all so foreign and intense that...I got scared. And I tried to make those feelings go away by doing the same things that have been shielding me for all these years." he explained, holding my hand as he made me touch his face, leaning into my touch.
"Shut up...J-Just...Shut up! I don't want to hear any more excuses! We're done for, anyway! Even if I wanted to, I couldn't possible trust you again. You...You just...You can't even imagine the damage that you've done to me." I shook my head, feeling my heart in pain like never before, making me take back my hand and jog away, having spotted Nancy and Jonathan going in the highschool to their next class. I needed a distraction, and studying/doodling always helped.
"Hey, Kat, how are you holding up?" Nancy asked worriedly, hugging me.
"I'm fine, all cool. Ready for Physics, I guess." I shrugged, trying to play it cool.
"Oh, I remembered. Next weekend there's gonna be some charity party or something at our highschool and all students are asked to sign up and participate with anything interesting they've got. Mostly singing, as far as I know, but it works. Wanna go? I have to go there to take pictures for the event, so I can get you girls really good seats." Jonathan suggested, making me and Nance look at each other and smiling simultaneously, and clearly agreeing.
"Sure, that should be fun, right? I'm looking forward to it." I smiled at them, feeling quite better, as if I finally belonged somewhere.
"Hey, guys, hold up!" a familiar voice called out, making us 3 turn around and spot Steve. "Hey, so, uh...This weekend our basketball team has the 2nd last match and I wanted to ask if you'd come cheer on us. It will help a lot if I were to see some familiar faces..." he chuckled awkwardly.
"I don't know, Steve...With that git, Hargrove there, Kat might feel bad..." Nancy mumbled, looking at me, but I only grinned at them.
"Nahh, who cares about him? My friend needs support? Then, Harrington, I will be there to support you. Just...Don't steal my book again, please." I winked at him, making the both of us laugh.
"Thanks a lot, Kat, I really appreciate it. Jonathan, Nancy? Are you coming?" he asked as he put his arm around my shoulder.
"Yeah, sure, man, why not." Jonathan shrugged and we all agreed and made plans for these two following weekends.

Should be fun, huh?

"Okay, Steve, so like, how do you want me to cheer? 'KING STEVE!' or 'GO! GO! HARRINGTON!'? " I laughed as I rubbed his shoulders, the anxiety radiating off him.
"That's bloody awful, Kat, what the hell." he grinned in disbelief, making me laugh at his reaction.
"Okay, okay, I'll just read my book until I see everyone screaming and I will do the same, how does that sound?" I tried to hype him up for the match the best I could.
"Just...Just act natural and do what you want, okay?" he rolled his eyes and shook his arms a bit.
"I have faith in you, Steve. GO FUCK THEM UP!" we high fived and I jogged on the bleachers, almost missing Billy's lingering eyes on me and my friendly actions with Steve...Almost, being the key point.
"Think they'll win?" Jonathan asked, making me shrug.
"I honestly have no idea what this game is about, but for everyone's good, I hope they do." I declared, paying attention to the game as soon as the first whistle blew.

It was a bit difficult properly paying attention and following the game since I honestly had no idea what was going on, but what I noticed was that Billy wasn't really the same, while Steve was energetic like never before and managed to easily score like 4 times.

The points were tied and our team scored very rarely, which made me mess around a bit with the game, making sure Steve scored every time he threw the ball in the basket, or that the enemy team would randomly trip.

Hey, we won, what a surprise! Time to celebrate!

"KING STEVE! KING STEVE SCORED A GAZILLION TIMES! GO, KING STEVE!" I laughed as I jump-hugged him as a congratulations, but he only shook his head, grinning.
"Thanks, Kat. Thanks a lot for the help." he smirked, looking at me with a mischievous look in his eyes.
"What ever could you mean by that, Harrington?" I chuckled, looking away.
"I've been around you, El and a bunch of monsters enough to know when the ball moves anti-Physics law." he laughed, ruffling my hair.
"Jerk, not my hair! And come on, you played really well! What I did was just a bonus!" I tried to fix my hair a bit.
"Hey, seeing the enemy team fall like idiots made my confidence boost like never before. I'd have laughed like an idiot if we weren't mid-game. Come on, I'll treat you to ice cream." he proposed.
"Oh, I won't refuse free ice-cream! Go take a shower and I'll take Jonathan and Nancy to the car, okay?" I asked, earning a nod. "Nancy! Steve is getting us free ice-cream! Let's go!" I waved the two over, completely ignoring Billy coming over and looking crestfallen.
"Did you just call him King Steve?" Billy's soft voice asked from behind, making me turn at him with a bored look.
"Yeah, I did, 'cause he won the game." I shrugged, waiting for Nancy and Jonathan to come over.
"Do you like him?" he asked again, his voice barely audible, somehow heartbroken.
"No, we're just friends...Not that it should concern you in any way. You see...He's not a fuckass like you...Well, not anymore, that is. Bye now, free ice cream is waiting me and my friends." I smiled fakely at him before hooking my arm to Nancy's and going towards Steve's car, where I got so much ice cream that I thought my brain would freeze, making the other 3 laugh at me.

We had such a nice time together, celebrating Hawkins' victory and not having any worry in our heads...
Except, maybe, the fact that Billy's broken voice kept echoing in my head, making my heart cry...Stupidly weak heart...

It's been already about 3 weeks without letting Billy talk to me more than necessary and I hate to admit to myself that it just keeps hurting more and more seeing him going down the way of self-destruction like never before.
But tonight I was supposed to have fun with my 3 friends, right? Watch random students pretend they have talent and everyone to make fun of them 'cause they can't sing, dance, or do anything really.

One guy completely butchered one of Michael Jackson's dances, a girl hit all the wrong keys while playing a Beethoven piece another guy sounded strangled while attempting to sing "Stayin' Alive" by Bee Gees...
Okay, I mean, some of them were actually pretty good, I won't deny, but I and Steve loved to make fun of the fails...It was just TOO hilarious!

It was all nice and giggles, until a very familiar instrumental started playing in the background, making me gasp in shock. "No...Way..." I barely managed to breathe out before snapping my head in the direction of the stage...

And there he was.

Billy Hargrove stood on the stage, holding the microphone with both hands, looking down, before up to scan the audience, before somehow managing to spot me, and we connected, neither of us daring to break the eye contact.

And he began to sing, in a soft voice like never before, earning hundreds of cheers and screams of excitement and adoration.

But I knew better than anyone else what this meant.

He wasn't here for charity, or to impress anyone with his singing skills...

He was here to apologise.

He was here to try to reach my heart just like he used to before, and try to win me over again.

Time, it needs time to win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there

His voice was sweet and warm yet sorrowful, like that of an angel, and I could feel dry sobs threatening to escape.
"Kat, are you okay? What happened?" Steve asked, concerned at my sudden change of behaviour, but I wasn't sure I could trust my voice much.
"He...He's...Apologising...And saying that he loves me..." I managed to choke out before covering my mouth, trying to control myself.

Love, only love can bring back your love someday
I will be there, I will be there

He didn't break eye contact even for a split of second, and I didn't even realise tears were already going down my face until Nancy pulled me into her arms and offered me her napkin.

Fight, babe, I'll fight to win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there

"Go closer, it's going to be okay. It will be okay, Kat." Nancy reassured me, patting my head, but I was a bit scared that my legs would fail me from the intense emotions bursting in my heart.

Love, only love can bring down the wall someday
I will be there, I will be there

Clutching my heart, I took a sharp breath and stood, holding the banister with dear life, afraid that I might collapse, as he started smiling, seeing me approach.

If we go again all the way from the start
I would try to change the things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong that I can't get through
Is there really no chance to start once again? I'm loving you

I quickly managed to climb down the stairs and started walking towards the stage, and as soon as those last words were so lovingly dragged out, I started crying, hugging myself as my heart was completely weak for him and him alone, and he extended his arm out toward me slightly, proving once again that he was trying to reach out me and my heart.

Try, baby, try to trust in my love again
I will be there, I will be there

I started smiling and looking at him with such adoration on my face that it seemed to give him some sort of confidence as well to keep on going.

Love, our love just shouldn't be thrown away
I will be there, I will be there

I couldn't contain myself and I started mouthing the lyrics to the song along with him, which made him put his hand to where his heart would be, in a way to match my action.

If we'd go again, all the way from the start
I would try to change the things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong that I can't get through
Is there really no chance to start once again?

I nodded at him with a soft grin on my face, telling him that yes, I forgive him, and that I could feel he was being genuine with each word he'd sing and each emotion he'd express so openly.

If we'd go again, all the way from the start
I would try to change the things that killed our love
Yes, I've hurt your pride, and I know what you've been through
You should give me a chance, this can't be the end

By this time, I wasn't sure if I just wanted him to stop singing so I'd be able to hold him close to me, or if I wanted him to keep singing because oh god, it did so many things to my heart that I couldn't believe it was me who felt all these things.

I'm still loving you
I'm still loving you
I'm still loving you
I need your love
I'm still loving you

Still loving you, baby

He kept singing, so much force and emotion in his voice, that I started wiping the tears from my eyes as I kept repeating the same lyrics with him, confessing our undying love for each other over and over again.

Still loving you
I need your love
Still loving you
I need your love, oh
Still loving you
I need your love, oh
I need your love
I need your love...

The song ended soon, making everyone stand up and cheer wildly, but he only had one thing in mind-
He did a fast bow before walking down the stage and throwing his arms around me and holding me close to his chest, as tight as he could without leaving me breathless.

"I love you so much, Kat. I'm so sorry for letting trauma get the best of me. I was weak, I was a shithead and I hurt you. I was scared. I didn't even realise that I turned back to my back habits until I saw you again...When I got the courage to actually look AT you, not THROUGH you. I don't know what I was so scared about...What I still am so scared about...Maybe I am afraid that I will turn into my father and I will drive you away, like it made my mum leave me...I've been so afraid of fucking up...That I did without realising...I'm sorry, Kat, I really am. And I love you with all my heart." he confessed, letting only one stray tear fall down his cheek, his eyes red from trying not to let his emotions get the best of him in front of the whole highschool.
"I love you, Billy. I forgive you...And...Call me Kitten. I'm not leaving you." I smiled softly, wiping away that tear before kissing him gently, before pulling away, earning a happy, almost choked out laugh from him.
"I really don't deserve someone like you..." he shook his head, but I paid that no mind, and instead, I trailed my fingers down his face, down his neck and to his chest, touching the 'K' necklace that shined so beautifully.
"I thought you'd throw it away." I managed to say barely above a whisper.
"No...Truth it, I started hyperventilating that day in the locker room, alone, thinking about everything going on, and I was suffocating. I tried to take it off carefully...But that didn't work very well. I'm sorry I lied...I was embarrassed to tell you the truth." he admitted, biting his lip.
"It's okay...I forgive you. I wasn't expecting you to do what you did today...I...I never realised I could feel so many things at once...I thought I was gonna faint or something...It's...It's so weird...But I wouldn't have it any other way. I appreciate the effort and sentiment you put in everything...Even if it took you quite a long while." I let out an amused breath, making him take out something from his pocket...The 'B' necklace.
"Do you...Do you want it back...? I fixed the latch." he asked softly, putting it on as soon as I put my hair on the side.
"It's funny, don't you think? We keep breaking things, but we repair them for each other. We're a bunch of idiots." I laughed, making him put his forehead to mind.
"Maybe from now on we'll only fix each other and nothing bad will happen. I know I promised before, but this time, I am a new man and I am not afraid to brave any storm, if I have you by my side. Will you have me back...Kitten?" he smiled at me, making me roll my eyes.
"I just said I will, silly! It will be as if none of these bad things happened. And we will be happy. We...We ARE happy." I grinned, bu he shook his head.
"No...I hurt you, you shouldn't forget that. It was my fault. Instead, I will make sure none of that ever happens again and I will focus solely on your happiness...Because Kat, if you are happy, I am happy, and that's all I need from life. I love you." he confessed once again, making me bury my face into his chest and hug him tightly.
"Billy...Y-You're doing that thing wh-where you're stirring t-too many emotions i-in my heart a-and I can't take it. C-Can you, like, s-slow down? I-I-I'm feeling faint." I stutter out, hiding my face in his shirt, making him chuckle in amusement and kiss my head.
"Oh, baby, you have no idea what YOU do to me every time you're being so cute and adorable...And only I can make you so flustered. It's doing lots of things to me and you've no idea." he smirked lightly, but before he could say another thing, he started groaning in annoyance. "Who the fuck thought singing this stupid song was a good idea? Fuck The Police and this song." he grumbled, making me laugh at his reaction.
"Hey, Billy...I'm SO not kissing you on this song!" I grinned in amusement, barely managing to stifle my giggles, both of us having the throwback from the Snow Ball where everyone kept kissing on The Police's "Every Breath You Take."
"Got me there, babe. And as if the song wasn't stupid enough, his voice makes it even worse..." he pouted, resting his chin on the top of my head.
"I had no idea that was possible...Until now." I declared, holding him close to me and swinging back and forth to the soft and somehow broken rhythm of the music.

"Billy! Hey, Billy! I've got news!" I ran to him, panting, out of breath since I had 0 physical endurance.
"Huh? What happened?" he straightened out on the bench, not paying any attention to his stupid buddies anymore.
"The exam results JUST appeared! And...Well, hope you don't mind, but I peeked a tiiiiiny bit at yours before I even looked at mine and...Haha, don't be mad!" I grinned sheepishly, making him roll his eyes and let out an amused breath.
"Okay, Lady Scholarship, I'm sure you got all the good grades and snatched away the Studies Scholarship, right? How much did you get at Biology? 100%? " he asked with a knowing smirk, making me blush at the confidence he had in me and look down, nodding, the grin on my face never faltering for a second.
"That's my Kitten! See, I told ya! You really need to trust yourself more, you're a smart babe!" he got up to hug me tightly and kiss me on the lips with much passion.
"Okay, okay, enough of this! Now, sit down and let me tell you about your results, okay?" I made him sit down again, trying to look as passive as possible.
"Fine, babe, shoot." he kept bouncing his leg up and down, trying to relax himself, but to no avail.
"So, uhm...You got all the good grades...But uhm...At Biology, you didn't get a B..." I trailed off, making his face fall into complete horror, before realising the smirk on my face that I couldn't stop. "You got an A, babe. You got 97%! The Scholarship is yours!" This made him and everyone around his jump on their feet and roar in happiness, clapping and cheering for 'King Billy', you bent down to my level and kissed me with so much passion that I thought my face would be worse than a tomato and that my heart would leap out of my heart from embarrassment, shock and all other emotions at a time.
"WE'RE GOING TO CALI, BABY! WHOOOOO!!" he screamed as loud as he could to the sky, feeling like nothing else could go better for him in life.
"Yessss! It's gonna be so cool!! We did it, Billy! We really did it!!" I cheered with him, making him pick me up and wrapping my legs around his waist.
"We're gonna move in together, and it's gonna be just us and nobody else to pressure or fuck with us. I'm so not letting you go, babe. The things you do to me, Kitten, you'll never understand." he smirked as he whispered that against my lips before shamelessly making out with me in front of everyone which made me blush like I was gonna die in the next second, but, well...They're not gonna see us ever again so...So just put my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me and smiling into the kissing.
"You're gonna be the death of me some day, honey." I said in between kisses, softly and playfully biting his bottom lip, making him smirk widely.
"Oh, Kitten, you naughty girl, you're doing things to me and you are fully aware of that. You're so lucky I love you." he confessed before capturing my lips again, with just as much fire as before.
"Oh, yeah, I really am lucky~." I giggled softly, trying to tune out any new person passing by.

"So, uhm...First of all, I wanted to thank all my teachers for being incredible moral, emotional and intellectual supports for me all these years of highschool...I want to thank my friends, Nancy, Jonathan and Steve, for being there for me when I needed them the most...I want to thank a bunch of 13 year olds for accepting me as their Party Nerd Leader...I want to thank my boyfriend, Billy Hargrove, who loves me so much and whom I love endlessly..." I trailed off a bit, looking at Billy, who already did his diploma acceptance speech, as a Scholarship winner, and I smirked widely. "And also, I want to thank all of you for being a bunch of dumbasses and for letting me steal your Scholarship and Loverboy so easily from right in front of you! You suck, guys! Toodles! See you in Cali!" I laughed, taking the diploma from the hands of Mrs. Green and I ran off the stage, jump-hugging Billy and kissing him deeply.
"Now, babe, THAT is what I call a real badass speech. I'm so proud of you for showing them who's the real Queen here." he smiled proudly at me, kissing my forehead.
"WE'RE GOING TO CALI, BABY!" I couldn't stop radiating with glee, just like a sunshine, and before ending the Graduation ceremony, we all threw our caps into the air and cheered that highschool is finally over.

And the best thing?

Well...

HARRINGTON IS TREATING US TO ICE-CREAM AGAIN!
