Juliet stood in front of the 7 foot tall mirror that sat up against her bed room wall. Looking into the mirror she pulled down her long sleeved black lace dress over her burgundy tights. The dress stopped mid thigh snugged close to her body. Placing a strand of hair behind her ear she focused in on her outfit.
"What am I missing?" she asked herself staring into the mirror once again. "Ah I could wear a white blazer, oh yeah that would look great."
After pulling on a pair of brown lace up boots and spraying herself with a bit of perfume Juliet dashed down stairs to meet her brother in the kitchen. He was at the table looking over his homework and shoving breakfast food down his throat.
"We have at least 30 minutes until we leave, I think you can slow your eating down a bit." Juliet stated in a sarcastic tone as she pulled out a porcelain coffee cup from a cabinet. Walking over toward the coffee maker she pulled out her phone to see if there were any early morning text messages. There was one, Justin had sent her a message, 'sorry for being a douche yesterday, forgive me? buy you a coffee later on tonight? See you at school'. Juliet rolled her eyes then placed her phone back into her satchel.
"I need to get to school earlier today." Adam informed with a forceful tone. "So we like need to leave now."
"Why didn't you tell me this last night?" Juliet grunted taking a sip of coffee. "Okay lets go, but don't forget to put your plate in the sink."
"I forgot to tell you because you were too busy talking to mister big lips."
Adam stood up from his stool, grabbed his plate then placed it in the sink. Before heading out the door he placed a beanie cap onto his black naturally straight hair.
Arriving at school Juliet parked her old black Camaro in its' designated spot then got out. She watched her brother go off into the distance to the school, she followed behind him. Entering the school she watch Adam walk off toward a hallway of class rooms, she made her way toward a different hallway, the hallway toward the library.
Passing posters advertising for an upcoming glee performance she held back the urge to rip them away from the cork bulletin board. Reading one of them had, in bold letters Sam's name was under "Introducing". With a quick chuckle she walked away and made her way toward the library. Before entering the library Juliet opened her tote bag full of school books and pulled out a novel she was reading.
"Hey Juliet!" A voice greeted loudly.
Juliet jumped and dropped her bag. Rolling her eyes she turned around to face the one person she thought she would never see again...hoping to never see again.
"Ugh hey Sam." She greeted back, but with a more solum tone. Juliet couldn't help, but fix her eyes upon his wet hair which was dripping onto his gray sweatshirt. "It's not raining, but your hair is wet."
"Nice of you to notice." Instantly Sam began to shake his hair side to side like he was some sort of dog. Water flung onto Juliet's face.
"Can you please stop." Juliet held her hands up trying to keep from getting any water on her again.
"Sorry, it was still dripping." Sam's mouth went wide with a smile. "Oh and it's from working out this morning. I just got out of the shower."
"Nice." Juliet responded quickly bending down picking up her bags. She began to walk away.
"Hey, where are you going?" Sam asked.
"A place I doubt you have ever heard of." Juliet continued to walk and entered the library.
"Hey, I know what a library is!" Sam shouted lacking his usual optimistic voice.
Juliet turned her head and gave him a vicious look then walked toward a table and sat down. Sam did not follow.
Juliet was standing in front of her locker, the hallway was crowded and the first morning bell was just minutes away from ringing. Quickly she opened her locker and shoved her bag in, but first grabbing the books she needed for the first half of the day.
"Oh I get it." A voice sprung up from behind her. "You think you're better than me don't you."
Juliet slammed her locker shut.
"I wouldn't go around making assumptions." Juliet turned to her head to face Sam and placed a strand of hair behind her right ear.
"It's because I am in glee club isn't it." Sam guessed.
"I could care less about you being in glee club." Juliet began to step away from her locker and out into the hallway. Sam followed behind her. Juliet could feel the student body's eyes on her.
"It's because I am popular." His voice went deep with a little attitude and he lifted an eye brow.
Juliet stopped and turned toward her annoyance.
"I could care less about your social status."
"Then what is it?" He asked loudly.
"Isn't it a bit early to even think that I have a problem with you." Juliet gave Sam a glare.
"I just want to be friends."
"If you want to keep your so called social status you might as well stay away from me...I make guys like you cry on a daily bases."
Juliet began to walk away quickly dodging her fellow peers. Sam ran back up to her.
"What do you mean by that?" he asked.
"It means I scare them." Her pace quickened.
"I'm sure you don't, I mean you don't scare me."
"Just give up man, give up." Juliet laughed turning her head. "Please for both of out sakes."
Turning down a different hallway Juliet's pace quickened until she ran into Stacy. Stacy stood tall in a pair of black leather wedges dressed in a leopard print dress.
"I saw you talking to him." Stacy's voice was high pitched and too cheery for Juliet's taste.
"Your point?" Juliet asked.
"Why was he talking to you?" Stacy pulled her purse onto her shoulder.
"Nothing, don't worry about it, I'm sure he wont be talking to me anymore."
"Sure." Stacy rolled her eyes. "That is what you said last time in the cafe."
"If you really would like to know, he is basically my neighbor."
"What?" She shouted.
"Yeah."
"Remind me to plan sleep over at your house this weekend."
"Only if we roll his house." Juliet laughed, her laughter stopped once her friend gave her a glare. "I was joking...only a little bit."
The lunch line was long and barely moving, standing tapping her foot Juliet waited for the line to move so she could pay for her meal. Since her brother had to be at school earlier she had left her lunch at home. Finally getting to the cash register she pulled out her wallet and handed the lunch lady a five dollar bill then walked to a table where Justin and Stacy sat. She sat down.
"Can I say I'm sorry for being "That Guy" yesterday." Justin stated taking a fry into his mouth.
"That Guy?" Stacy asked mixing her salad.
"I was a total douche yesterday, I was so a "That Guy".
"That makes absolutely no sense at all" Stacy rolled her eyes and stuck her fork into her mouth.
"You are always 'That Guy' Justin." Juliet informed. "I mean, get over yourself...find a girl friend or something."
"Working on that, but it's somewhat impossible when everyone thinks I am for the other team you know, I'm only seen with you two." His voice began to show aggravation.
"Well it seems to be the total opposite with Juliet over here."
"What are you talking about Stacy?" Juliet's eyes went into a squint and the metal fork in her hand stabbed a chunk of bake potato.
"Oh nothing." a cheeky grin formed on Stacy's mouth.
Juliet kicked her friend beneath the table. Stacy yelped instantly and eyes through themselves at the group of friends. The eyes removed themselves and made their way to the doors of the cafeteria. There entering the cafeteria was the biggest pest of the school, well to Juliet that is, the one and only Glee club. In the front was Rachel, she did a hair flipped then with the help of Finn, stood up on a table and clapped her hand.
"Hello, student body." she clapped her hands once again in the attempt to get the attention of everyone in the cafeteria. "We have a special presentation for you all."
Juliet's eyes went to everyone in the cafeteria who was in Theater along with her. There eyes met hers in seconds. She nodded her head toward the door and all of the theater students nodded in agreement to leave.
"Okay go Sam." Rachel shouted.
The sounds of the Acoustic guitar interrupted the conversation flow and everyone got quiet. Then a voice began to accompany the instrument. Juliet's eyes left her fellow theater peers and went directly to Sam's. The lyrics of the song 'Set the fire to the third bar' by Snow Patrol began entering her ears. A second voice began to sing, no other than Quinn's. Closing her hand into a fist in annoyance Juliet stood up and nodded toward the door, one by one all of the theater students within the cafeteria stood up, gathered their belongings walked toward the trey returns, got rid of there treys and grouped up with Juliet in the front. The remainder students all at once turned their heads toward the theater students and watched as they all made their way toward the doors passing the glee club who remained singing. Opening the doors they all left.
