A/N: okay, so here's chapter 3, and we are sooo happy for all the reviews we got, we LOVE you guys XD
Chapter 3
Just as I was freaking out, Lucas sidled up to me. OH GOD. Don't let him be romeo…. "umm, so lucas…"I asked tentatively "whats your role?"
"Aww, shucks.." he said, flashing me a lazy grin, "I'm playing paris." I breathed out a sigh of relief. Then, who was Romeo? I looked around the class. Could it be that short guy standing against the wall? Could it be the fat guy eating non-stop? I was too busy looking around that I didn't notice seth coming up from behind.
"cam… " he said softly.
" woah!" I jumped, and nearly fell over my bag which was on the floor. Luckily, seth grabbed my arm and I didn't hit the ground. I am freaking out way too much.
"um role do you have?" I asked, after recovering from both shock and embarrassment.
"well," he said, his cute brown eyes staring into mine "im… "
Before he could say another word, the teacher called to us. "people, sit down. Come, tell me your roles! Who is romeo?" to my utter astonishment and shock,seth raised his hand and the teacher made a note on her clipboard. I could feel my eyes bulging out and my mouth was, probably agape. I could hear whispering all around."Juliet?" she looked over the rims of her glasses, and her eyes seemed to bore into mine. I raised my hand meekly and saw seths jaw drop.
(A/N: romeo and Juliet plot overview. There are two families who really hate each other. One of the families have a daughter called Juliet. A man called paris approaches her father and asks for juliets hand in marriage. Her father decides only two years later, as Juliet is not even 14 yet. Her father decides to throw a feast so Juliet can see paris and decide if she can fall in love with him. A boy from the other family, romeo, is chasing a girl called Rosalind. He is not invited as they are both enemies but his friend convinces him to go, because Rosalind will be there and he can compare her with the other women. When he arrives(crashed the party) he sees Juliet from afar and falls in love. They meet and both fall in love. Her father is enraged, since he hates romeo's family nad decides to marry Juliet off in like, 3 days to paris. Juliet downright refuses and acquires a potion that if she drinks, she will appear to be dead. She does so and on the day before the wedding, she drinks it and people find her dead. Romeo hears, and rushes to her tomb. There, he sees paris, and kills paris. He then drinks and poison, chosing to die rather then live without Juliet. Juliet wakes, and realizes her romeo is dead. She kisses his poisoned lips, and when she doesn't die, takes his poisoned dagger and kills herself.)
"Okay students," the teacher said, rolling up her list, "I expect you all to rehearse really hard for this." She passed each of us our scripts, and sent us to practice. This Juliet girl has A LOT of lines.
"ok, so lets rehearse!" seth said animatedly. He flipped to the script, and pointed to a particular passage. I nodded and he began
"If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle fine isn this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss."
I said, blushing: "Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
He retorted: "Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?" I couldn't help it; I giggled and seth smirked. "you two! Rehearse properly, the main roles are the most important!" the teacher snapped, then turned to speak to another kid. We turned back to the script and tried again. "Ay,pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer." I cracked up laughing again.
"did you seriously just say ay? You sound like a pirate!" I could barely speak as I was giggling too hard. He started laughing too, his laugh a deep, husky one.
"You two! Stop fooling around!" Miss Coventry yelled at us. I turned towards Seth.
"stuff this, let's do it later. Let's talk about fun stuff!" i said enthusiastically. I was officially hyper. He laughed at me and cocked his head to one side. God. He was so adorable!
"sure, what do you wanna talk about?" he asked, batting his extremely long lashes. .(A/N: yes it sounds wrong and gay. But I cant think of a better way to say!)
"I have no clue," i replied. Oh yeah, real smart of me "Okay, answer this question: If you're from Singapore, why don't you have a Singaporean accent?" he asked me, his *very hot* eyes twinkling.
"Oh, i can do one if you want," i said. Well, that was kinda weird. He nodded, so i continued. "eh, so what you want me to say ah?" i said, in a *hopefully* good impersonation. He started laughing, disguising it as coughs so miss coventry wouldn't yell at us again.
"eh! What so funny? Tell me lah! You laugh for what?" i said. He started laughing even harder and it was like he was having a "coughing fit". Other students gazed quizzically at him and gave me a do we need to call a ambulance? look. "you so mean leh! Everything also never tell me!" I exclaimed, my hands on my hip in mock anger. But seriously, what was so funny?
"sorry, sorry, the accent is pretty hilarious. It's so cute when you talk like that," he said, after he finally stopped laughing or "coughing".
Wait. Back up. Did he just call me CUTE? Me. Cute. Yeah right! I pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Realising what he just said, he immediately looked down at his shoes.
"Ummmm... So..." i said was awkward. And bad.
"Yeah?" he replied, his eyes snapping up to my face. dont look at his eyes! I scolded myself for I knew if I did, I wont be able to look away.
"Cows," i said. Well, that was stupid. Saying 'cows' to fill an awkward silence was something i used to do when i was younger, like thirteen, to fill awkward silences. Oh great, you meet a guy who actually calls you cute and you talk to him about COWS.
"Cows?" he asked, a smile playing on his lips.
"Yeah. Cows moo," i said. Great. More retardedness. It was a wonder I was still considered normal.
"Um... okay? Well, yeah i guess they do," he said, awkwardly. He shuffled his feet, and he stared at his shiny nike shoes. Cool, I thought. They were black and gold. Awesome.
"well, that's it for today! Make sure you practice your lines on your own! Now, school's over, so get out!" Miss Coventry said. Well, one day down, ten billion to go.
I rushed out, i needed to pick callie up. But, on my way out, someone grabbed my arm. I squeaked in surprise and turned around. It was Seth. Looking
"Um, i know we've just met and all, but would you um, like to, you know, maybe... gooutwithmeonfridaynight?" he asked, rushing through the ending.
"i'm sorry, what?" i said.
"Would you like to go out with me, Friday night?" he said, really nervously.
OH MY GOD. OH DEAR GOD. WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THIS FEELING. WHY WOULD SETH WANNA GO OUT WITH ME? WHY ME? I MEAN, I'M WELL, ME!
He was still waiting for a reply. Yes? No? Yes? No? Yes? No? Yes? No? Yes? No? Yes? No? Yes? No?
"yeah, sure!" i said. Okay, so it was a yes.
Seth exhaled in relief. Was he scared that i would say no? Nah, i must have got it wrong or something. He must be doing this out of pity, you know the "be nice to the new girl" thing.
"great, i'll pick you up at 7!" he said, really enthusiastically. Woah, down boy. Haha, i am turning so lame.
"Yeah sure. Now i really gotta go, get my younger sister, then i have to walk home," i said, inching towards the doorway.
"oh, hey, you don't have to walk, i can drop you," he said.
"What? Oh no, i couldn't let you do that. Really, it's okay walking. Exercise is good for you!" i said, half laughing. He protested, and agreed to let him drive and and my sister and my annoying brother home.
He followed me as i went to Callie's classroom. When she saw me, she ran towards me, giggling happy.
"Cammy! You won't believe what happened today! Our teacher said, that because i'm new, we can play games! It was so fun!" she said really excitedly. Sigh. The life of a seven year old was so easy.
"well sweetie, guess what? Today, this nice dude, seth, said that he would drop us at home!" i said.
"Yay! That means that we don't have to walk, right?" she replied.
Seth smiled as i said "yes, it does indeed."
We found chris and then we set off for home. On the way home, Callie was chattering non-stop. When we reached my house, i pointed it out to him.
"Thanks so much for this, you really didn't have to," i said, thanking him profusely.
"Yeah, thank you stranger!" Callie said.
"Callie! He has a name you know!" i scolded her. She rolled her eyes at me and went to our front door, chris close behind.
"sorry bout that. Wait a minute, if you're only 15 aren't you a little young to drive?" i asked him.
"Ssshhh don't tell anybody..." he stage-whispered. I laughed and thanked him once more before heading indoors.
"Who was that?" Chris asked me suspiciously.
"Dude, you met him at lunch today remember?" i told him.
"Yeah i know. I meant, why is he driving us home?" chris asked, still looking suspicious.
"Man, you're acting like he's come serial killer or something," i said, laughing.
"You're not answering the question," Chris stated.
"Okay, okay, well i don't know, he just offered," i said. Chris had a point. I mean, seriously, why me? I was pretty average anyway.
"Uh-huh. Okay. Never mind then," chris said, breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah. But guess what! He asked me out for Friday night!" i said excitedly.
"WHAT?" Chris practically yelled at me. I was taken aback.
"You just met the dude! And now you're gonna go out with him?" Chris continued yelling.
"Chill. He seems nice," i said, defending Seth.
"Yeah. Seems," Chris scoffed. Ugh. My brother was being an overreacting idiot.
"Sethy seems really cute!" Callie said. I laughed.
"yeah, he does, doesn't he sweetie? Now go tell Chris that. He doesn't think so. What do you think is wrong with him?" i told Callie. Callie proceeded to go yell in Chris's ear about how he was being an idiot. Woah. A seven year old swearing. I thought i'd never see the day. Chris, being well, Chris, ignored her completely and went to find something to eat. He eats too much. No wonder we're always out of food. Plus, with all that eating, you would think that he would be fat and ugly. Well, he was ugly. Bu all the food seemed to be changing into muscle. It's so weird.
Sigh. The first day of school and there was already homework. That sucked. I went up the stairs to my bedroom and started on it. Chris probably was gonna wing it tomorrow. Which was totally unfair!
Haha. Wing it. Funny word. Wing.
Wingy!
Wingalicious!
Wingywingywingy!
Wingyness!
Wingtastic!
Wing-a-ding-ding!
Wingwingwing!
Winghattiness!
Don't ask.
So, after finishing my homework, i went downstairs to fix dinner. And the rest of the day passed slowly. Chris seemed pissed at me. How was that in any way fair? Geez. He has major issues.
The next day there was school. Like yay. Seth wasn't at school. Weird. In fact, he wasn't in school the next day or the day after the next either. Weird.
