After the video, (which was really boring) Mr. Smith started to hand out the Romeo and Juliet books. "Since the video was shorter than I thought it would be, we will be starting to read today, and I will assign you parts to read throughout the play." he announced as he passed out the last of the books. Everybody started to talk ecstatically, I heard a few girls say 'I wanna be Juliet!' and some guys then begrudgingly say they'd be Romeo if they had to.
"Alright, Sasha, you'll be Lady Capulet." Mr. Smith announced and pointed at Sasha Braus, who was eating a bag of potato chips. She gave a thumbs up in acknowledgement. "Connie, you're Capulet." Mr. Smith said and wrote Connie Springer's name next to Capulet's. Connie high-fived Sasha and grinned.
"Bertholdt, you'll be Benvolio, and Reiner you'll be Mercutio." Mr. Smith started, then rambled off a few other names and characters until only Romeo and Juliet were left. "Armin." he started. "You will be Romeo."
All the color drained from my face. Romeo?! I groaned and laid my head down on my desk. "And Annie will be Juliet." Mr. Smith said and scribbled Annie's name next to Juliet's. I groaned again. Of course Annie had to be Juliet. When I looked up, she was grinning at me.
"What're you smiling at?" I said and frowned. Annie shook her head, but was still smiling.
"Oh, nothing." she said and opened her book. I sighed and did the same, thankfully Romeo wasn't in the first scene.
Annie was running late. I rocked my chair back and forth and kept glancing at the door, and hoped she would walk through soon. I then snorted and shook my head. She probably wasn't coming. I then stood up, grabbed my backpack, and headed for the door. Just as I opened the door, Annie was in front of me. "Hey," she breathed. "Sorry I'm late."
I snorted. "It's no big deal." I remarked and walked back to our table with her. When we were seated I narrowed my eyes at her. "What took 'ya so long?" I asked and took Romeo and Juliet and the work sheet for Act 1 out of my backpack.
"Just had to re-take a quiz, no biggie." she said quickly. I raised my eyebrows, but didn't answer. "So, Juliet," I said sarcastically and leaned across the table. "How about we get working on this worksheet?"
"Why sure, Romeo." she replied, throwing just as much sarcasm in the word. I laughed and gave her a grin. Which I rarely ever did. She also laughed, then smiled.
"You look cute when you grin." she said, then blushed bright red. "W-wait, that not wh-."
My eyes widened. Where did that come from? "Pardon?" I asked and leaned forward some more, so my face was inches from hers. My face was flushed, and hers seemed to get even redder.
"I-I-um-." she was cut off by a loud and obnoxious voice.
"Excuse you Arlert." Eren Jaeger called and strode up to us, his chest puffed out. "But I think Annie would like you to leave her alone."
"What're you even doing here, Eren?" Annie sighed, her voice tinged with annoyance. "I thought you had football practice."
"Nah, coach called it off," Eren huffed and pushed me off of the chair, then sat down. "Now I'll ask you again, would you wanna go on a date sometime?" he then flexed his (non-existent) biceps. I scowled.
Annie looked almost as annoyed as I was. "No and I will keep saying no, because I don't like you. At least, not in that way."
Eren suddenly got angry. "What? Why not! Is it because you like fags like Arlert?!" he spat. The librarian finally got up and intervened, and told Eren he had to leave the library. He scowled at Annie. "Come talk to me when you want to date a real man." He scoffed. He shot me a glare filled with hate, then stalked out.
AN:
Sorry that this chapter is really short and it's boring and that I took forever to update. But I've been busy and have been having writer's block.
So I'm sorry for using the word 'faggot'. It's a really bad slur and I hope no one takes offense, I wasn't trying to offend anybody.
So anyway, my birthday is tomorrow! March 14th! So, I might upload a preciousmetalshipping thing (Because I love Gold x Silver. And it's for you Pokémon fans.)
I'll try to get the next chapter up as quick as I can!
