"Hey Gabby." Paul said casually as I walked into class. What. The. Hell?
"Uh, hi Paul." I said nervously, wondering what trick was up his sleeve this time.
"Um, listen, I was just wondering about, well maybe, do you want to go to the beach today?….with me?" Paul asked, in what seemed like a nervous way. But it was Paul were talking about here. And Paul was never nervous.
"I-I cant." I stuttered lamely. Paul actually looked disappointed with that. Gee, what was wrong with this kid? I didn't want to be tricked by Paul. I mean, he tricks almost every girl in the school into sleeping with him, yet he never really tried to do that to me. Probably because I was the freak girl and he was too busy tormenting me in every other way.
I wouldn't be one of those stupid other girls who swooned at every word Paul said, only to have my heart broken two days later when he decided he was done with me.
"Uh, no offense, but why the hell not?" He asked, his face full of aw and questions as he looked at me. I felt my blood boil a little bit, I had such a bad temper.
"Paulie, I had fun the other night, we should do that again sometime, yeah?" The biggest slut in the school, Iris, said as she walked up next to Paul who was a bright red and shaking slightly. For a minute, he refused to meet my eyes, but as soon as he did, I gave him a look that said, 'that's why.'
I brushed past the two of them and took my seat at the back of the class.
"Hey Gabs." Kim said as she took the seat next to me, Jared taking his assigned seat next to Paul at the front of the room. They were talking quietly and intently, Jared gazing back at me every few seconds. Yup, they definitely had a bet or something. That had to be it.
"Hey Kimmy." I said, flipping open my note book and doodling on the back page.
"What were you and Paul talking about?" She asked, obviously anxious about the whole thing.
"About how him and Jared made a bet, and now he's going to try to get in my pants." I told her my suspicion. Suddenly Jared roared with laughed at the front of the class and Paul looked so tense. What the hell was that all about?
"Pfftt, I wonder what that was about." Kim said with a small laugh. I felt anger growing inside me. It felt just like old times with Kim, before she started hanging out with Jared and them. How could she just act like nothing was wrong and she hadn't just completely betrayed her best friend?
"Why don't you ask your new boyfriend?" I sneered, slightly more menacingly then I meant. Kim looked taken back for a minute before she replied.
"H-He's not my boyfriend Gabby. It's…complicated…" Kim started to say, her voice was clearly hurt but I couldn't stop myself as I continued on.
"Oh just stop Kim. Your dating him and you know it. God, your freaking dating a 'PAUL!' Do you not get it? Your turning into one of them!" I said meanly, but stopped when I saw her face drop and a single tear fall from her eye. "Oh god Kim. I didn't mean it. I'm sorry." I said, dropping my pencil that I was furiously scratching my paper with and grabbing her weak little hand that lay on the table. She sniffled a bit, wiping the tear away.
Before I could even apologize again Jared was storming over to us, well, me.
"Why the hell would you say that to her!" He almost screeched at me. How the hell did he know what I said to her? I could feel everyone's stares on us. Jared was so mad he was shaking.
"Leave her the hell alone Jared!" Paul called, standing up from his desk and coming to stand behind Jared, looking slightly furious himself.
"I-It's okay. She's right anyway….I have to go." Kim said shortly and quietly before she jumped up and ran from the room. Jared gave me another stern stare before running out of the room after Kim. That butt face.
"Um, right, well, Ms. Carter? Will you take Jared's seat please? Paul, you will be 's partner for the rest of the day." I wanted to smack the teacher as he said that, but instead, I just moved all of my stuff to the desk next to Paul and sat quietly.
"Sorry about Jared…" Paul started to say but stopped when I turned to meet his eyes. He just starred into my eyes for a long moment and I refused to let me stare back into his chocolate orbs.
"I don't care about Jared or what he thinks." I said, telling myself more then I was telling him.
"Oh. Well, good then." Paul said, openly starring at me now. I frowned and turned back towards the teacher.
"Okay class, take this time to discuss your new assignment with your partner. You will have time to work on this inside school, but it might be a good idea to work on it a little outside too. You may begin." The teacher announced. Project? How much had I missed?
"So…what part do you want to do?" Paul asked, bringing me out of my confusion, I just turned to him and shrugged. "Okay…well, I think we should do the first sight scene's the best part. You can be Juliet, and I'll be Romeo." He said, a small smirk on his lips. I cocked a brow at him.
"What was the project again?" I said quietly, looking down at my blank notebook page.
"Uh, we have to pick one scene from Romeo and Juliet and act it out. So I think we should do the first sight seen. You know, when Romeo first sees Juliet at her party." He said, smiling.
How did this guy know so much about Romeo and Juliet? Well, he is Paul.
"I was thinking more like…the death scene." I said quietly, afraid he might just laugh at me for my suggestion. Luckily, he didn't.
"Isn't that a little…depressing? How about the balcony scene?" He suggested.
"How about any scene where I don't have to kiss you?" I said, pointing out that every scene he picked included a kiss. He gave me a weird look before frowning and using his pencil to doodle little pictures on his notebook. "Let's do the scene where Juliet gets the poison from the Friar. Hell, if you want, you can even be Juliet." I said, making myself giggle lightly at the thought of Paul being Juliet.
Paul sighed. "Yeah, okay, but you can be Juliet."
"Fine." I said before turning back to my notebook and unconsciously scribbling out 'Ms. Call' in a small heart.
