What is it I'm feeling, cause I can't let it go, If seeing is believing, then I already know, I'm falling fast...
"Mister Rivers, I hope I'm not interrupting anything," Ella Montgomery said to the boy as he slouched in his desk preoccupied with his phone.
She gave him a glaring look, he huffed and put the phone away in his pocket then muttered a sarcastic "sorry". His focus was on the clock, counting down the seconds until the dreaded class ended and he could ditch third period to get away from everything. The time moved slower than it ever had, and he decided it wasn't worth the effort so he slumped back into his chair, let out an exasperated sigh, and paid moderate attention to the class conversation.
"Yes, Miss Marin?" Ella addressed the blonde currently raising her hand.
"I'm sorry, I just don't understand why someone would do this. Romeo and Juliet risked their lives for each other when they both could've found another suitor just as worthy," Hanna Marin inquired as she flipped through the pages of the novel currently on her desk.
"Well, they-" The teacher started to explain before she was rudely interrupted.
"It's an epic love story, they loved each other so much that they were willing to die than not have one another. They overcame every obstacle thrown their way till death did they , they could've found someone else but no one could have compared to the other in their minds," Caleb intervened, "Its like... you wouldn't part with your favorite lipstick without a fight, would you?"
Hanna's jaw dropped at the audacity, the class laughed, and the bell rang, excusing them all to leave the class. Caleb quickly got up, gathered his things, then headed towards the lockers only to be stoped by a voice behind him.
"You! In the beanie!" Someone called.
He turned around only to see none other than the ever popular Hanna Marin.
"What's wrong blonde? Lose your lipstick?" He quipped, a small smile pulling at the side of his mouth.
"I don't appreciate you saying the things you did back there. You compared them to some object! I may not understand why they did what they did but I know that you were being completely disrespectful by-"
"I was just answering your question and putting it into terms you would understand."
"Terms I would understand?" The girls face clouded with anger and disgust.
"You just don't look like the kind of girl who's been through tough stuff like that."
"You don't know me or what I've been through."
"You're right blondie, I don't, but you asked a question and I answered it so you should be thanking me," His lips turned to a smug grin as he turned on his heels and walked from the girl like he didn't have a care in the world.
"I have a name! It's Hanna!" She yelled after him, stomping her foot and crossing her arms.
"I know," he called back to her as he turned the hallway corner and disappeared from her sight.
Hanna let out a huff of hot air and angrily made her way to her next class, annoyed yet strangely humbled at the boy who contradicted her. No one ever did that. After all, she was the Hanna Marin, queen bee of Rosewood High School.
