My sister's just called me and she's downstairs, how's stupid is that?
Ok, I had a quite annoying day and now the stupid messenger's not working and I don't know what the heck is wrong with it! So as soon as I finish writing, I'm going to turn off the computer because I'm in a serious bad mood.
Enjoy and review. That's for the reviews so far!
I was halfway from winning, I could feel it. Morality, in the end, never really wins, does it? But apparently, Rose had made up her mind about us and wasn't going to fall for me again, at least not without putting up a big fight first. All this meant I had to get better at whatever stupid plan I was following. So on Monday my uniform looked brand new, my hair wasn't all messy but perfectly brushed, a very 'gentleman-style' as Tom called it, kind of like doctor Cullen from Twilight actually. I'd also brushed my teeth until my gums started bleeding a bit and Harry taught me how to sit and stand straight for once.
Out first was was with Rose, which put me in disadvantage because I always arrived to school with a sleepy look on my face, but I tried my best to look perfectly awake, though that was the real challenge for me.
I sat next to Jackson, a kind of nerd guy who learned to be a ghost between us so Matt and his friends wouldn't bully him.
"Good morning" I said outloud to everyone.
Rose turned when she heard my voice and let out a small laughed, but she put a hand over her mouth and turned away.
"Hi, Jackson" I said.
He looked at me confused and also surprised, his greasy hair not moving an inch every time he moved, it was shocking, but not as much as he too white teeth, you could see them from a mile away! He was lucky we had to wear uniforms at school because I was sure that, whatever we wore, wouldn't be something people couldn't notice. I knew he was a fan of McFLY, he's told me once, but he didn't let the others know it, afraid to get bullied again.
"Are you talking to me?" he asked quietly.
"Yes. How are you?"
"Fine, I guess"
I looked at Rose once, wondering if she was watching me being friendly with the nerd of the class. I mean, Jackason was harmless, a good guy, but he was way too weird. He was the kind of guy who was completely useless for everything but cience and computers, so talking to him implied great effort and patience, or at least to me, someone obviously under his level, his brain was way too more evolved than mine, that's why I never knew what the hell he was talking about.
"So... What did you do this weekend?" I asked.
"Not much, really. I've been reading a book about quantum physics, it's called 'Quantum Physics: Illusion or Reality?' and it's so interesting!Oh, and the competition of 'World of Warcraft' was suspended because of some weirdo who screwed up with the electricity but the comunity is getting together this weeken again so I think we'll be ready to play by then, it's going to be so cool, the graphics have improved so much!"
I just stared at him, absolutely confused. Why did he had to talk so fast? Didn't he realize I was dumb? Well, I'm not as dumb as I may sound, he's just too smart! That guy wasn't ever going to get married. He would probably sleep with a picture of Bill Gates next to him every night and that would be it for his love-life.
"Ok, you know what? I remembered I need to talk to Jenny about... Something"
I stood up before he could get the chance to say anything else and kind of ran to Jenny's said. She looked at me with interest for a moment, then her amuse look faded away.
"You are going to get your ass kicked" she said very softly. Matthew was just two seats away from us and didn't like hearing anyone talking about Jackson. He really disliked him, probably because he was way more smart than all of us together "and his too"
"No, Matthew what mess around with me" I was in the cool-zone. Could you imagine how girls would react if he touched a single lock of my hair? Half the teenage population in Britain would kick his ass and he loved ladies, he'd do nothing to make them mad.
"What did you do to your hair?"
"What's wrong with it?"
"Nothing" she turned around smiling and I felt paranoied. Did my hair look bad? Stupid Tom, he said I'd look awesome!
Rose stood in front of us, which meant the class had started. We were going to discuss the meanings of the songs we'd learned and talk about things like pitch, loudness, direction... You know, the different qualities of sound perception. I was so lucky she was my music teacher, this was the one thing I was good at and if I needed to show her I cared about learning and stuff, then I needed to also show her I was listening to her, I needed to talk to her.
"Let's start with Chopin's Nocturne, it's one of my favorites. What do you think of it? What emotions do you think it tries to transmit?"
A couple of students, including me of course, raised their hands. The boys from the rugby team were in silence, there arms crossed in front of their chests. Silence was the best Rose would get from them. She placed her eyes on me for a moment and I smiled at her. As soon as I did, she looked away and pointed at Ruth, who said something extremely stupid but of course she was right. If someone ever answered a question like that and the answer was wrong, then there you have someone with a lower level than mine.
Matthew laughed and his friends did too, probably just mimicking him, I was quite sure none of them had really been listening. Rose looked at him, her best severe 'teacher-look' on her face.
"What is it that it's so funny? Tell me, I want to laugh too" she said ironicly.
"Nothing, it's just... This is so stupid, miss Johnson" he said "Meaning of songs? It's really useless"
"Then who come I made tons of money with it?" I said as I looked at him in a really severe way, hoping I would turn out to be a good actor. Matthew looked at me in a way that should have scared me and I was really starting to wonder if my safety was in danger from this day on, but well, at least I was defending Rose "It's all about the meaning of the song"
"Thanks, Mr Poynter" Rose said and smiled at me. Oh, yeah, it was worth it... And she even asked me to stay with her after class, which was my final goal.
"What's up?" I said when the rest left.
"Nothing, I just wanted to thank you again for defending me before" she smiled in a very 'Rose-way', very sweet and irresistible.
"I'll always defend you, it's alright"
"Hey..." she hesitated and I waited patiently, my heart beating faster, hoping her morality was about to fall down into pieces in the ground "What's up with your hair?"
"What?" I said confused... I wasn't expecting that.
"It looks weird... I like it more the way it was before"
"Oh... Well, I'll have that in mind... Is that all you wanted to tell me?"
She raced an eyebrow and the corner of her lips curved a little bit "What were you expecting?"
"Nothing that you won't do later" I smiled and gave her a quick kiss on her again, leaving her completely astonish. Ok, maybe my plan hadn't worked and Doctor Cullen's hair-style didn't suit me but I'd gained her trust in a way, so one more point to me and morality still has 0. I'll show her, I'll show everyone, I'll be the perfect man for her.
