Natalie's POV
I was sitting in English trying to pay attention but the teacher sat me by the window and it just seemed so much more interesting then Romeo and Juliet. I mean I already read the book and watching other people make fools of themselves in front of the class just didn't seem very fun.
"And who will be are next our next couple?" Miss Mackenzie asked. "Come on people it isn't that hard." She added trying to get the class exited. I actually felt bad for her. She looked like she just got out of school and was very shy. She was trying to get a class of 11th graders to act like they cared about a class and a play that involves love, sex and killing. Wait why doesn't anyone like this class again?
"If no one volunteers I will have to pick people."
Maybe it was pity or I had the need to stretch my arm but I did and she smiled.
"Great, Miss Call come to the front of the class." I stood up and walked to the front of the class. Miss Mackenzie gave me a piece of paper which had Act 2 Scene 2. Thank God it was the modern version.
"And who will be this lovely lady's Romeo?" Miss Mackenzie asked, strangely most of the boys in the class raised their hands. I blushed. "Mister Black." I smiled a bit as Jacob walked to the front of the class next to me. For some odd reason I was very, VERY happy that Jacob was near me. It was so weird like being away from him was starting to get painful. No, I'm not falling for him I mean he is my brother's best friend and he is just a friend isn't he?
"Natalie it's your line." Jacob said softly.
"Oh I'm sorry, what was your last line?" I blushed trying to fine where we are on the paper we were.
"Ok, um." He stuttered. " My Juliet, must you leave me so unsatisfied?" Jacob asked. I wanted to laugh but to save embarrassment to the both of us.
"And what am I to do to satisfy?" I asked then noticed how wrong that really sounded. Some of the class was already laughing.
"The exchange of your vow for mine." Jacob said looking at me which made me blush as I looked down to read my line but then I heard someone say something.
"That's not what he really wanted to say." This earned several chuckles. I looked over slightly but read my line.
"If that is all then you may have my vow and I will gladly take yours." I looked in his eyes and smiled.
"A voice calls from off stage, Juliet!" Miss Mackenzie said reading the stage directions."
"I'm coming Romeo!" I said which made everyone laugh because I sounded a bit whinny. I blushed. "Um…uh…I mean I'm coming Nurse. Romeo you must go." I said refuses to look a Jacob. Then the bell rang. I ran to my desk for my stuff then walked out of the room and to my locker. I put my books away and put my coat on.
As I was walking out the door Jamie and Lily were walking near me.
"Heard you came for Jake in class today," Jamie said.
"Ugh no I got my line wrong and everyone laughed.
"Romeo, I'm coming oh Romeo!" To guys said walk to their car as. I hide my face in my hair.
"Well it's not that bad." Jamie said.
"Yeah look on the bright side at least Jake didn't mind." Lily said nudging me a little with her elbow.
"What do you mean?" I asked as I leaned against the rabbit waiting for the guys.
"Oh shut up and stop beating around the bush, we know you like him." Jamie said.
"No I don't." I said
"Sure so holding his hand yesterday was just to keep it warm?" Lily asked specialty.
"Well actually…"
"You like him, you like him!" They chanted.
"So, maybe I do…" They smiled slyly. "But it is too soon to tell."
"Hey Natalie hurry up and get in the car your almost late for you appointment. And Mom's gonna kill me it you are." Embry said getting in the passenger seat.
"Well aren't we pushy." I said. "Bye guys." I said Getting into the car.
"Buhbye!" Lily said.
"See ya on the flip said." Jamie added as they walked away.
I pulled up the front seat and got in the back and pulled the seat back.
"Come on Jake hurry up!" Embry yelled out of the car window.
"Em its okay mom won't mind if we don't go I mean it's just a physical."
"Don't be scared Natalie." Embry teased.
"I ain't scared, I'm just trying to save time and money." I said trying to sound convincing.
"Nice try but you're still going." Embry said then beeped the horn. "Come on Jake!"
"But why?" I whined. "I'm healthy." I added.
"When is the last time you've been to the doctor's?" Embry asked. I tilted my head a little.
"Huh, I don't know." I said deep in thought. I really don't remember the last time I've been to the doctor's office much less had a doctor look at me.
"Then how are you afraid of it then?" Embry said. Then the door opens and Jake gets in the driver's seat.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jake asked pulling out of the school parking lot.
"Natalie has a doctor's appointment." Embry said. I rolled my eyes and looked out the window. For some odd reason I had a feeling this wasn't going to be a normal appointment. I sighed as the rain started to come down.
