Chapter 4
Romeo and Juliet
Bex's P.O.V.
Bella walked me to English. There was no way I was going to remember my way back and fore through each corridor, from one place to the next. It was just one massive jungle of classrooms and lockers, as far as I was concerned, anyway. Nearly everyone the two of passes in the hallways looked at me, either directly or out of the corner of their eye, but they still all looked. Also, Bella really didn't know when to shut up. She kept rambling on and on and on, so I tuned out. I was more interested in getting to know the in's and out's of High school.
All of a sudden, Bella stopped walking and I walked into the back of her because I hadn't been paying attention.
"Sorry." I apologized as she rubbed the back of her head.
"It's okay. People are always walking into me, it's like I'm invisible or something. This one time this guy, Brandon his name was, walked straight into me whi-"
"Shouldn't we go in?" I asked, interrupting her.
"Yeah, we should." She pushed open the door and the two of us walked inside. "Mrs. Davis!" She called out in a happy sing-song voice.
"Bella!" A woman called back in a sing-song voice, but she wasn't visible. The voice was coming from the supply closet at the back of the room. I turned my face to face it and noticed everyone who was already in class staring at me. I was used to the stares, but it was still uncomfortable. "Bella, come grab these for me." Bella rushed up to the back of the room and held her arms out. A pair of hands appeared out of the cupboard and handed Bella a few stacks of paper and a box of pens. Bella walked back to me and dumped the paper and pens on the teachers desk beside me.
Mrs. Davis came out of the cupboard and locked it behind her. She was a really young teacher, with long blonde hair and a kind looking face. She was wearing a black skirt and a white shirt with ruffles around the chest. Her bright green eyes were sparkling and her smile made me feel welcome in her classroom.
"You must be Rebecca, am I right?" She asked.
"It's Bex, but yeah, you're right." I smiled back at her.
"Well, Bex, I'm Mrs. Davis, your English teacher. And your guidance councilor, you can come to me with any thing and we can talk about it, okay?" I nodded my head. She wasn't like Bella, she gave me time to reply. "Good, now you can sit by..." She took a moment to look around the class. "Bella!" I felt Bella slip her hand into mine and she dragged me over to the front desk, she sat in one seat and I sat in another.
The bell rang again and a few more people came running into class and took their seats, all giving me a small look in one way or another.
"Today, guys, we will be continuing our pair work from last time. Pair up!" Mrs Davis turned back to the board and Bella turned to me.
"Okay, I'm paired up Ethan, so I'll talk to you in a bit!" She smiled and dived off to the back fo the room, sitting beside some guy who I was guessing was Ethan. It was pretty obvious from the moment Bella skidded into place beside him that she had a massive crush on him. Her cheeks slightly burned red and she had dreamy eyes set on him. I smiled a bit to myself, before remembering that I was partner less.
"Um, Mrs. Davis?" I spoke up.
"Uh-huh?" She answered, writing something down of the board. "What is it, Bex?"
"I don't have a part-"
"I am so sorry I'm late, Mrs. Davis." A boy came running into the classroom, interrupting me. He had shaggy black hair, that fell over one of his shiny brown eyes. He has wearing grey tracksuit bottoms and a football jersey, so I instantly guessed he was on the football team.
"Ah, Mason, you weren't in last time, were you?" The guy shook his head no, still out of breath a bit. "Great, you can partner Bex." Mrs. Davis picked up a book from her desk and tossed it at Mason. He caught it in his left hand and read the cover. "Page 162, read over the text and analyze it." She then turned back to the board and Mason and I turned to each other.
Mason walked over and sat in the seat Bella had been in. He removed his jersey and placed it over the back of the chair, revealing a black-shirt that said 'Till the day I die'. I smiled a little, Till the day I die was a band Duncan listened to a lot. So, I was familiar with who they were.
"Hey, I'm Mason." He introduced himself.
"Bex."
"Nice to meet ya." He said, skipping through the book till he reached the page. "Know anything about Romeo and Juliet?"
"I know a little, what about you?"
"Nothing." He smiled and I smiled, too. He placed the book between us and we started reading the text.
"O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet."
"Shall I hear more." I looked up at Mason as he read the book."Or shall I speak at this?" Mason stared up at me and I started reciting the lines without looking at the book.
"'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title. Romeo, doff they name; And for thy name, which is no part of thee, take all myself." I guess having a private tutor helped with certain things. Mr. H. had made me memorize that part of the play for 'future refernce', I never knew at the time it would actually come in handy for future reference.
I gave Mason a nudge in the arm, he seemed fascinated by the fact I could recite the passage from memory. And, to be honest, I was quite amazed I remembered it all, too.
"I take thee at thy word: Call me but love, and I'll be new baptiz'd; Henceforth I never will be Romeo." Mason was glancing from me to the book and back again as he spoke.
"What man art thou, thus bescreen'd in night, so stumblest on my counsel?" Mason went to start speaking again, but I noticed everyone watching us and I stopped him. He looked up at everyone, even Mrs. Davis and cocked an eyebrow. He then smiled at me and looked back down to the book, but didn't speak.
After a few moments, everyone went back to reading their own scripts and Mason turned back to look at me and burst out laughing. And I followed suit. I don;t know why, but there was just something worth laughing about.
"I thought you said you only knew a little." He said, smiling his perfect teeth my way.
"I guess that might have been teeny-weeny bit of an understatement." I giggled. "I had to memorize it all for my tutor before. It's been stuck in my memory ever since." I explained to Mason and he seemed impressed.
"Can I ask you something, Bex?" I nodded. "Why did you decided to come to High school? I mean, I'd give anything to get out of the place." Mason smirked, not looking me in the eyes, but down atb the now closed book.
"I just wanted some sort of normal experience. I've been an actress for as long as I can remember..." I trailed off a bit. "Everyone told me not to come, though. My step-dad told me it was a bad idea and my own boyfriend tried to get me not to come."
"Ah, yes, you're dating that barbie doll wanna be, what's his name...Uh...?"
"Darren." I laughed. "And he's not a barbie doll wanna be." I playful shoved Mason's shoulder and he laughed again. His laugh was amazing, it was making me feel funny inside. "So, what about you? Got a girl?"
"I guess you could say that, it's sort of on, off all the time." He shrugged the fact off as if it was nothing. "Her names Marisol." Marisol. That was the girl Bella called a Queen Bee. But, I made sure not to say anything to Mason about that. He was sweet guy and I didn't want him thinking anything bad about me.
"On, off?" I asked.
"Yeah, sometimes we absolutely hate each other and then other times we're totally in love and at it like animals and why the hell did I just say that to a girl I met a few minutes ago?" I laughed some more.
"At it like animals, eh?" I joked and Mason playfully shoved me back.
