Chapter 3- Paulina's Dark Past
Paulina was thinking about Danny for some strange reason the next day. All she could think about his expressions when she wanted to be friends.
"Paulina….Paulina….PAULINA!" Star yelled to get her friend's attention.
"Wait…What?" Paulina said.
Star smiled and said.
"I was asking you, if you were okay, you were so dazed and in another world the whole day," Star said.
"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about…stuff," Paulina said.
Star raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah, stuff," Star said. "Is this "stuff" about Danny Fenton and your love story?"
"No….pftt….. No," Paulina said nervously.
"Uh huh, sure you are not thinking about Danny Fenton," Star said as she raised her eyebrows.
"Okay, it was about Danny," Paulina admitted to Star.
"YES! I knew it!" Star yelled in excitement.
Paulina smiled at her friend.
"You like him… you like him …" Star sang.
"Who do you like," Dash asked as he slid to a seat next to Paulina.
"Uhh…. I was talking about the shoes I got… its name is He the Shoe..." Star said in a terrible but convincing lie.
Paulina thought.
"Seriously Star?! He the Shoe!?" Paulina thought.
Dash raised his eyebrow.
"You girls are so weird," Dash said.
When Dash left, Paulina turned to Star.
"Seriously! He the Shoe?!" Paulina whisper shouted at Star.
"Sorry! I panicked!" Star said.
Paulina smiled at Star and left Star to English class.
"Well, class," Mr. Said. "We have a project on a love story that is based on Romeo and Juliet that is worth ¼ of your grade. I thought that this should be fun and we are doing this in partners."
Everyone in the class groaned and the teacher rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Okay, so Fenton with Sanchez, Sam with Turner, and Star with Dash, and the rest can figure the partner pairs in this table I made," the teacher said bored.
Paulina flinched at her last name and stopped. Wait, she Paulina with Danny Fenton?
This was not happening.
Paulina was not happy that she made a friend one day and now has to do a love story with him.
"Hey, Danny let's get started," Paulina said as she turned to her partner. Danny of course was asleep and Paulina sighed.
"Danny…Danny…DANNY!" Paulina shouted and Danny woke up and saw Paulina.
"Oh hey, Paulina. I heard that we were partners," Danny said dumbly.
Paulina sighed.
"Yes, Danny, yes we are," Paulina said. "Now I was thinking we can do a forbidden love story but with a twist, it can be modern!"
Danny blinked.
"Uhh….sure Paulina," Danny said.
"Okay, now let's start the script," Paulina said.
Danny nodded and they both took out some paper and start writing whatever Paulina wrote.
"Umm….. Paulina can I ask you a question," Danny asked.
"Yeah sure, what is it," Paulina said as she wrote down some more lines for her character.
"Uhh, why did you said that your last name was Gomez when your last name is Sanchez," Danny asked.
Paulina stopped writing; she looked around and looked at Danny.
"My Father that's why," Paulina whispered. "My father use to abuse me and my mum back in my childhood. Everyday, I would come home and be abused my father and I have to hide my bruises from mum or my father, Robert Sanchez would abuse me more. My mums one day saw my bruise and report it to the police. My fathers found out, and try to get rid of me and my mum and hide. It failed and he was arrested. My mother remarried to another man 2 years later and his name was Carlos Gomez. He was so nice and loved me and mum a lot. He would do anything to protect us. I loved Carlos a lot, and I remembered me looking up to him more then a stepfather.
I used to pretend that he was my real father all the time. I started to call him daddy. Then, my real father escaped and went back to my home. My new father found out and tried to protect us. My real father was about to shoot me and Carlos took the bullet for me. My mother screamed and I was shocked. The man that I called Daddy, took a bullet for me, then I knew that Carlos really love me and mum. I then called the police and my father was arrested. Carlos survived and my family changed my last name to Gomez, but we pretended that my name was still Sanchez to not tell anyone about my dark past." Paulina silently cried and tears rolled down her face. Paulina quickly wip;ed then away.
Danny was shocked, Paulina wasn't really that happy with her life. Everyone always thought that Paulina was a spoiled little happy rich kid. No wonder, Star always followed Paulina. Star probably knew and wanted to make sure Paulina was safe.
"Is that why, Star follows you around all day?" Danny asked. Paulina nodded.
"I only told people that I trusted and so far the only ones who knew are the school, my mum, Carlos of course, you, and Star. Star hated my real father and followed me around to protect me," Paulina said.
"Wait…. You trust me," Danny asked. Paulina nodded.
"Yeah, I know it in my heart that you won't tell anyone," Paulina said.
"But…. We just became friends," Danny said.
Paulina smiled and said.
"My heart tells me that I can trust you."
Danny was shocked.
"She trusts me" Danny thought.
Paulina smiled and went back to her work.
Danny smiled and pushed a lock of hair from Paulina's face.
