Chapter 3
The Date
I walked into the classroom those sky blue eyes watching me as I sat next to him in the seat, waiting for the teacher to come in. The teacher finally walked in .
"Okay, get your goggles and aprons on and start the work, I need to step out of the classroom for a moment so please go ahead and put your work sheets on my desk and clean up before you leave," The teacher said, nodding his head and then walking out, leaving Romeo and I alone.
We got our apron and goggles on quietly and pulled out the stuff we were going to need. I tied my curls back, a few pieces popping out of place and just hanging loosely around my face. Romeo and I began to work.
While I was putting the dry ice into the green liquid carefully, Romeo carefully went around me, avoiding the same thing to repeat again from class. I had the red liquid on the burner and was waiting for the alarm clock for me to take it off the burner to go off when Romeo sat next to me with a yellow and orange liquid in his hands.
He placed them on the table and looked at me with a curious look. I kept my gaze on the timer but Romeo was not going to let me go that easily.
"Did you know that you have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen?" Romeo told me and I finally looked at him, he was smiling.
"How many girls have you told that one to?" I asked him with an eye roll as he smirked at me
"You're such a goody-two-shoes," Romeo told me and I chuckled, looked him dead in the eyes, and smiled a scary smile
"You know, I could cut off your balls right now and then lets see how goody-two-shoes I am," I smiled at him before turning back to the green liquid
Romeo rolled his eyes and went back to his own project. After a few more seconds my timer went off. I had just put the green liquid on the counter, away from Romeo, when he cussed.
"What-?" I turned around and something exploded in my face, singing off the end of a piece of curly chestnut hair that had popped out of the hair tie on me.
"Sorry," Romeo said as I glared daggers at him. He put the orange liquid back on the burner and started the timer "I did not know that was going to happen," Romeo apologized, trying not to laugh at me
"I swear to god that I will pour acid down your freakin pants and make you eat wolf crap for a week straight if you don't stop annoying the hell outta me," I grumbled under my breath as I rubbed my head
"Damn, you sure don't hold anything back," Romeo sighed as he stared at me and I glared at him
"I hate you with a passion," I hissed
"And I don't have any doubt in my body that you're lying to me either," He chuckled, as if we were best buddies sharing in inside joke. Like we could ever be 'best buddies.'
I ignored him for the rest of the time in the science room. We finished our project, turned in our papers, and started to clean up. Romeo went up to a sink to wash his hands and I noticed what sink he was at.
"No, wait Romeo, not that one!" But it was too late. Romeo twisted the faucet and water sprayed at me. At. ME! I looked at Romeo in rage, water dripping down my purple shirt and chestnut curls.
"I'll never forgive you for this," I hissed at him, my fists curling up at my sides, but I wasn't going to hit him, I might kill him because I most likely will not hold back.
"Then let me make it up to you," Romeo told me but I only glared at him, hoping that he would melt, but my hopes were crushed when he smirked.
"Go on a date with me," He told me. I looked at him really fast, his sky blue eyes boring into my grass green eyes. He's dead serious.
"Why should I?" I asked him
"I want to show you that I'm not a jerk," Romeo told me, his eyes still serious
"I don't know...," I told him, my voice trailing off
"This Friday night. I'll pick you up at 8, I'll be throwing pebbles at your window," and with that he stood up, grabbed his backpack, and walked out of the classroom after he put his packet on the teachers desk
"I never said I would go," I muttered angrily under my breath as I got my backpack and walked out of the classroom after putting my own packet on the teachers desk
I heard squealing coming from my back pocket so I took out my phone to see that Dominique's number was on my screen, meaning she, and most likely Yolanda, were listening in our whole conversation. I put the phone to my ear.
"Juliet's gotta da-ate! Juliet's gotta da-ate!" I heard Dominique singing as Yolanda giggled in the background. I turned the corner to go out the school doors to see Dominique doing the disco dance and the jerk with her phone in her hand, while Yolanda was standing behind her, giggling in front of the doors.
I clicked End on my phone and started to record her doing it. After a few more seconds they both finally noticed my presence. Dominique stopped dead in her tracks when she saw my phone.
"Black mail baby," I told her with a big, cheesy smirk on my face while her face took on a look of horror and Yolanda's face flushed a deep red.
"I get to pick out what you're wearing,"Dominique stated, brushing the black mail I had on her off.
.:Sparkles:.
"I look like a freakin hooker," I told Dominique. I was wearing black leather pants that squeezed the life outta me (why the hell do I have these?), a plain white tank top that made my boobs pop out, a red leather jacket that made my arms hurt, and red knee high high heel leather boots. Oh and did I mention the whip on my hip? No? Didn't think so.
"I know, I just did this out of my own amusement," Dominique grinned, taking a picture of me "Blackmail feels good," she grinned as Yolanda circled me
"Are they tight?" Yolanda asked and her sent her a "wtf?" look
"No Yolanda, they're so loose I think I need a belt!" I told her, sarcasm dripping off my tongue as I ate a red apple. Yolanda put her hands up in surrender, backing away.
There was a whistle from my open window that faced Romeo's house and all three of us turned to the window to see Romeo leaning out his window, staring at me with a banana in his mouth. That sounded weird. Everyone knows it's just awkward if you stare at someone with a banana in your mouth.
"Are you going to wear that on our date this Friday?" Romeo asked and then to make matters worse, he caught sight of the damned whip "Damn Juliet, I didn't think you rolled that way. I mean, it's not like I mind or anything...," He trailed off, winking at me and taking a bite out of the banana while I took a mean bite out of my apple and drew my curtains.
"Freakin pervert," I muttered as I turned to Yolanda and Dominique to see Yolanda's mouth covered in blue and Dominique shoving half a bar of chocolate into her mouth.
:Sparkles:.
I was walking down the hall, I don't know where Dominique and Yolanda are and that scares me because that means they're doing something very bad.
"THIS. IS. SPARTA!" I hear and duck as fast as I can as her leg shoots out to kick me, barley missing my skull. I lift my head up and glare at Yolanda. Wait where's Dominique?
"YAAAAAAA!" Dominique's screech fills the crowded hall and I'm shoved against the lockers, everyone's staring.
I suck in a sharp breath as my back comes in contact with the cold, metal lockers and I open my eyes to glare at the smirking girl in front of me.
"Are you trying to kill me?" I yell at her, shoving her off as Yolanda and Dominique give me look
"Today's the day!" Dominique squeals like a freakin pig. It clicks.
"And that has to do with shoving me into the lockers because...?" I asked her in utter confusion and in a clearly pissed off tone
"Aw hell Juliet, we were just having fun!" Yolanda told me with a sly grin on her face
"Good, cauz payback hurts," I say as I grab the cranberry juice in a spray bottle that's on the side of my backpack and point it at Dominique. Her smile disappears.
"Bad Dominique!" I yell as I spray her with the bottle. She screams like she's in pain. Dominique hates cranberry juice with a passion. Yolanda's laughing, recording it behind Dominique.
"JULIET CAMELLIA, DOMINIQUE FRANCE AND YOLANDA PIERCE!" Mrs. Derider's voice booms through out the school hall, making all of the students to scurry away in a scared manner.
The three of us froze. Principle Derider stomped down the hall still looking old and cranky. We were dragged off to the principles office. We have detention all next week, also known as the week before spring break. Damn.
.:Sparkles:.
To my luck Mom didn't ground me but I still had this freaking date. So there I was, dressed up in some dark jean skinny jeans, a black shirt that said: Guys think that every girls dream is to find the perfect guy, bullcrap. Every girls dream is to eat without getting fat! In big white letters, and black converse. My hair was in a braid on the side of my head (some of the curls popping out), and my smiley face designed nerd glasses were on my face.
I played with my charm bracelet as I quietly paced in my room as I waited for Romeo. My parents had gone to bed an hour ago so that was good. I listened to a little bit of music because I was so nervous, I mean this was my first date since 7th grade.
I lay on my bed, totally zoning out and staring at my black and silver designed ceiling. I remembered when Yolanda stuffed sunny side eggs down Dominique pants when she was sleeping and how Dominique got her back by drenching Yolanda's underwear and bras with this extremal hot sauce in 6th grade.
In 7th grade when I stuffed Yolanda's locker with stuffed animals, also known as her worst fear. When she opened it, they all fell onto her and she screamed so loud you would've thought that she was being murdered and then when she fled to the bathroom you would've thought that she was being chased by a cheetah. I recorded the whole thing.
The way she got me back still scares me. Imagine waking up to your worst fear littered all over your room. Now picture all of those as clowns. Clowns were littered around my room, grinning at me with their freaky faces.
But that's not the only thing that scared me. What makes me still have nightmares from this day on was the life sized clown that sat in the corner. It had big blood red lips that pulled back to show yellow teeth while its face was caked in white powder and had a big red nose along with neon green frizzy hair that stuck out around its head.
At first I thought it was a fake until the head turned towards me and it started to cackle. I grabbed my lamp, threw it at the window, and jumped out of it. I mean yeah, I broke both my legs, but it was all worth it to get away from that weird clown.
After I had broke my legs from jumping out the window, instead of crying or screaming, I got onto my stomach and started to drag my body by my arms until I got to the side walk when my front door burst open and there was the freaky clown.
"Juliet!" The clown yelled. It was Yolanda's voice.
OH MY GOD IT ATE YOLANDA! Was the first thing that had popped into my head, making me move my arms faster. I had made it to the other side of the street when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up, preparing for razor sharp teeth to eat me but what I saw was a girl with short strawberry blond hair, a neon green wig in her hand, white powder caked her face, and her big chestnut colored eyes staring at me in worry.
"OH MY GOD THAT WAS HILARIOUS!" I heard another voice say as Dominique walked out from behind my house holding a camera and holding her stomach. Realization dawned onto me and I glared daggers up at Dominique and Yolanda.
"Wow thanks," I told them. The pain hit me like a big rock. I didn't cry, instead I looked down at my legs to see the bones sticking out of the skin and crimson red blood dripping onto the cement. I groaned in pain and lay down as Dominique went to get my parents.
My legs were broken for three months but I never was really mad at either of them. I was pulled out of my day dream by the sound of something small hitting my window. I turned on the lights and pulled open my curtains.
Romeo was at his window, grinning at me. His dirty blond hair was messed up around his head, but in a good way. He wore a black shirt that said: Marry Me? A. Yes B. C C.B. And at the bottom it said: Proposing Like A Boss.
"You ready?" He asked once I opened the window, letting the warm, Florida air into my cool room. I rolled my eyes.
"I never did say yes but sure," I told him. We both closed our windows and I turned out the lights, but not before drawing my curtains. I managed to get out of my house without my parents waking up. I grabbed my black beanie before I left the house.
Romeo was waiting on a motorcycle holding a dark blue helmet in his hand while another one in orange was on his head. I took the dark blue helmet and put it on my head, stuffing my beanie in my purple satchel that I brought with me before wrapping my arms around Romeo's waist.
"Hold on tight," Romeo told me as I kept a tight hold and we sped down the street going to who knows where
.:Sparkles:.
We pulled into Dave n Busters and got off the motorcycle, putting the helmets under the seat before going in. I put my beanie on my head and Romeo chuckled. The place was packed! We managed to get a table.
"How's your arm?" He asked me after we ordered our drinks (me a root beer and Romeo a coke) I looked up at him and shrugged.
"It's fine, I'm not one to cry over stuff like this, I've had worse," I told him with a shrug as I looked down at my menu again
"What do you mean?" He asked me after a few seconds of silence, making me pull my gaze away from the delicious food on the menu but it was okay because I already knew what I wanted
"I broke both my legs in 7th grade, jumping out of my window because of a prank pulled by Yolanda and Dominique, I broke my left arm in 8th grade doing a stunt with my skate board, and when I was 6 I broke four of my ribs when I fell off of the monkey bars, totally belly flopped it but I didn't cry," I told him
"Wow, you make it sound like nothing," Romeo smirked, leaning back into his chair and staring at me
"It's really not. Why did you ask me out?" I asked him
"Like I said, I want to prove that I'm not a jerk, plus, I want to make it up for you for what happened in the nurses office," Romeo told me
"Oh," I muttered as the waitress came to take our order. Once she left I sighed and put my head in my right hand "You're pretty for a boy," I told him "Are you a girl and you're just not telling me?" I was satisfied when Romeo's face flushed a deep red
"No!" He shot but then a smirk took over his face "You wanna use your whip to test me?" He asked me and I made a face
"Like hell I don't!" I snapped at him in total disgust, bringing a laugh out of him. Our food came and we ate. Once we finished, we got into an argument on who would pay. He won. Then we went to go play in the arcade.
.:Sparkles:.
I swiped three more fruits that were thrown up from the bottom of the screen and noticed I beat the high score. 1841. I threw my fist up and turned around to Romeo who was giving me a pissed look.
"Stick that in your juice box and suck it pretty boy!" I told him, doing a little dance while he glared at me. He had gotten 1739 now the second highest score. I was totally beast at Fruit Ninja.
"Ha ha ha," Romeo said in a sarcastic tone, still glaring at me as we walked away from Fruit Ninja but not before I caught something.
"Don't those two look so cute together? The girl with the beanie and the boy with the Like A Boss shirt?" A lady that was behind us said
"I know right, perfect couple," Her friend answered as we walked away and I heard Romeo chuckle
"You hear that? We make a perfect couple," Romeo mocked, completely brushing off the me beating him at Fruit Ninja.
We finished up at the arcade and got back onto his motorcycle. He sped out of Dave n Busters parking lot and down the highway of the city, the lights flashing by in blurs.
Everything was lit up in breath taking way, lining the sides of the highway and hanging on palm trees. The smell of the ocean whipped across my face (we were too lazy to put on our helmets) as my arms were wound tightly around Romeo's torso.
Romeo drove the motorcycle out of town and through the woods, stopping on top of a cliff that over saw the city. The stars twinkled high above us like a disco ball as we got off the motorcycle and looked up into the clear sky, the full moon casting a beautiful glow across the trees.
The city was lit up with lights far below us. A big grin took over my features. I turned to Romeo to see him grinning a goofy grin as I gave him a cheesy grin right back. I turned back to the view, looking at the ocean that split the city and the trees but a bridge was cast across it so there was an easy way to cross.
"This is gorgeous!" I said in awe as the ocean air blew gently against my face as Romeo stood next to me
"Yeah, you are," Romeo told me and I looked up at him. Our eyes locked.
"That was so cheesy," I told him, totally ruining the moment as I looked away, hoping he wouldn't notice the color of a rose taking over my cheeks
"I know right," Romeo sighed, running a hand through his hair "That one usually gets all the girls," and I looked at him quickly to see him smirking "Kidding," he said with a laugh
"You're an idiot," I tell him, flicking him in the forehead but I can't help but notice how the moon shines down on his hair, making it look like a halo circled his head. I snorted unladylike. Yeah, held up by his horns, I thought to myself.
"You ready to head back?" I asked him to see him staring at me. Our eyes locked again but no snotty remark came to mind. We both started to lean in and-
My phone went off.
I pulled back really fast, Romeo almost stumbled forward, finally realizing I wasn't there and looked at me. I gave him a look and pulled out my phone. The caller ID was blocked. I answered it and put the phone to my ear.
"I know what you did last summer," The voice breathed into the phone in a raspy tone
"Well, last year at band camp-," I was cut off
"Oh god Juliet!" Dominique yelled into the phone and I laughed. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I turned around to see Romeo about two centimeters from my face. My eyes widened like half dollars.
I almost dropped my phone when he leaned in and kissed me. Half on my lips, half on my cheek but my eyes stayed wide open in shock. He pulled back and smirked at my reaction before turning around.
"Hey I'm gonna have to call you back," I told her and before I got a response I hung up and put the phone in my back pocket. I turned to Romeo to say something when there was the sound of tires on gravel and a black van emerged from the woods. I didn't hesitate.
I ran up to the motorcycle and hoped onto the front "Romeo! Get on!" He started to argue "GET ON!" I yelled and he rushed behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
I took the motorcycle off the stand and spun the bike around, speeding past the van only for it to start following us. Soon we crossed the bridge, weaving through the cars, trying not to get hit. We came to the city, I sped as fast as I could, three more vans on our tail.
I yanked the handles to the right, going into a whole different lane that was going the opposite way we were. We sped into the plaza and when I was about to take a left a black van came out of nowhere.
As quick as I could, I took a sharp right, Romeo gripping me harder around the waist. More black vans blocked my way and I turned again, going full speed so I could try to make it but my luck had completely run out.
I took a too sharp left and the bike fell, crushing my left leg then skidding off of it and going somewhere else. My body slid across the broken glass from the light on the motorcycle. I groaned and lifted my body up, warm crimson colored liquid dripping down my head and getting into my eyes. I finally noticed Romeo's unmoving body a few feet away.
"ROMEO!" I yelled but he didn't move. Doors slammed open and shut, the sound of guns being taken off of the safety. I got to my feet, wincing at my now broken leg and limped over to Romeo, ignoring the pain of the glass lodged in my arms, legs, and one of the right side of my stomach.
I grabbed him and gave him a little shake. He didn't budge. I screamed his name and took out my phone. Dialing 1, 2, and 3 so it was on three calls at the same time. They all picked up on the second ring.
"CODE PURPLE!" I yelled into the phone. There was the sound of motorcycle's in the distance but they sounded so far away. I screamed Romeo's name while cradling his head in my bleeding arms.
Everything after that, I can't really remember everything after that. Just gun shots because everything went black.
Maybe I'll just end them all with cliffs :) Nah, anyways no Juliet and Romeo are not dead and a new and hawt character comes in the next chapter, hehehe :D
Preview:
"I gotta feeling, oooooooh, that tonight's gonna be a good night, that tonight's gonna be a good night, that tonight's gonna be a good, good night, I gotta-," Daniel's hand slapped over Dominique's mouth, silencing her so called singing.
"Shut up, you can't sing," Daniel told her, shaking his shaggy brown hair out of his eyes as Yolanda giggled and I rolled my eyes while we walked to our lunch table with our food
I chewed my apple, Yolanda popped blueberries into her mouth, Dominique glared at Daniel while a piece of chocolate stuck out of her mouth, and Daniel tossed his grapes in the air, catching them in his mouth.
