Chapter 5 - Shakespeare is For Lovers
Disclaimer: I. Own. Nothing.
Author's Note: This is pretty much a boring chapter, and I don't like it that much. The next chapter will have Marta in it. My brother got the new Spiderman game for PS2, and I've been listening to the sounds in it. That game makes me dizzy. Oh yeah, where is Scotland on the map? I was looking for it, and I can't find it. Hmm...

-Ellie's POV-
I woke up late this morning. I got dressed as fast as I could. I was fifteen minutes late to English. When I walked into the room everyone was paired up already, and working on their projects.
"Tardiness is unacceptable, Miss Taylor," Mrs. Trecher tapped her pencil on her desk.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Trecher. It'll never happen again." I said as I handed her my late slip.
-Zack's POV-
I was sitting at my seat, playing with my pen because Ellie hadn't shown up to class yet.
"Isn't that my pen?" I heard a familiar voice.
I looked up and smiled. It was Ellie. She smiled back, and sat down at her desk in front of me. She turned around so she could face me.
"What are we gonna do our project on?" I asked.
"We have to do something Shakespeare related right? So, I was thinking maybe we could act out a scene from Macbeth or Othello...?" She suggested.
"Well, the only play I know lines from is Romeo and Juliet. But, I could study up, and learn." I admitted.
"Shakespeare is very hard to memorize, especially for a teenager boy who can't get his mind off of playing guitar, and his girlfriend." She laughed.
'And you,' I thought to myself. I laughed, "yeah, I guess."
"So Romeo and Juliet." She said.
"Yeah. Romeo and Juliet."
"Cool."
"Yeah." This kind of small talk made me nervous.
We sat in silence for about fifteen minutes until the bell rang.
"See ya in Chem, Zack." I waved but she was already out the door.
-Ellie's POV-
I ran to Film Review to I could talk to Katie, but she wasn't in the room yet. The late bell rang, and she's still not in class. A couple minutes later, Katie bursts into the classroom, giggling uncontrollably. She practically runs to me.
"Me and Freddy got back together. He bought me flowers and said 'I love you' for the first time in forever, and said that there was no one else for him. Isn't that sweet?" She had a big smile on her face, and her cheeks were flushed. I don't think I've ever seen her THIS happy. "So, what's with you and Zack?"
"Nothing's 'with' us, Kat."
"Yah, sure." She practically spit in my eye.
"Kattttt, I don't want Freddy drool on my face!"
"I'm sorry!" She put her hands up like she was surrendering.
After class, Katie decided she wanted to walk me to Chemistry. When we got to my Chemistry class, Zack was standing outside.
"Hey Ellie. Can I talk to you?" he looked at Katie, "...alone?" He asked.
"Yeah sure. Katie, I'll see you at lunch, kay?"
She nodded her head and went off to talk to some of her friends who were nearby.
-Zack's POV-
I pulled her away from the door.
"What'd you wanna tell me?" She was looking me right in the eye. I forgot about what I was going to tell her, and I hugged her for a long time. I don't know why I did; I just liked the feeling of having her there, in my arms. She pulled away first.
"What was that for?" She stood there, looking at me.
"I don't know." I said.
"Come on, let's go to class." We walked into the room, and sat down at our seats.
-Ellie's POV-
In the middle of class, there was a knock on the door. Our teacher, Mr. Trask, opened it. It was Summer.
"Good morning, Mr. Trask." Summer said, with the pleasant smile she always had on when she spoke to teachers.
"Good morning, Summer. How can I help you?" He asked.
"I was wondering if I could borrow one of your students for just one second."
"Why sure. Which one?"
"Ellie Taylor." She glared at me.
"Ellie, you're excused." Mr. Trask said before he went back to the lesson.
-Outside the classroom-
"Hey Summer, what's up?" I asked. I honestly had no clue what she wanted to say to me.
"I see everything, got that?"
"What are you talking about?" I was truly confused.
"I saw you hugging Zack before third period. I have eyes everywhere, Ellie. Just watch it."
"It was a hug, Summer! And besides, he hugged me!"
"Hugs lead to other things." She stated.
"Ya know what...I have to get to class." I started to walk away, but she pulled my arm.
"Remember what I said, Ellie." I turned to face her.
"Are you saying that you want me to stay away from Zack? Because if that's what you're saying, then I think it's pure bullshit, and I certainly won't listen to you."
"No, no, no. Ellie, you've got it all wrong. I just don't want you hanging around Zack AS MUCH. Like yesterday, he was in your room, with no supervision." She tapped her foot on the ground.
"Summer, we were doing a project. We're seventeen! We don't need supervision! Ugh!" I walked back into class.
