Chapter three: King?
"A man paints with his brains not his hands." - Michelangelo
"Class!" The art teacher that Juliet now knows as Ms. Phillips, called out, "I would like you to sketch you partner. Number two pencil please." As she walked over to her desk, Juliet turned to her partner. He didn't look half bad. He wore a blue vest with a pink shirt underneath and he looked adorable with his brown buzz cut hair.
"Uh, uh, hello… I'm Pete." He said quietly, looking down at his hands. Juliet smiled wildly and giggled.
"I'm Juliet, it's nice to meet you Pete." He nodded shyly.
"Likewise, do you want to go first, or you want me?" Juliet looked at his face; he was just the cutest thing ever!
"Uh, you can go first." She answered quickly as she watched him press his pencil against the sketchbook.
"So, you seem like a cool guy. What do you do for fun around here?" Pete looked surprised as he accidently messed up, but quickly erased it.
"Uh, I'm not cool, but there's a carnival in town, and some shops. That's about it unless you're a trouble maker. Then, everything is fun."
"So I take it that you don't like getting in trouble."
"Who does?" he started scribbling again.
"Jimmy?" she guessed and laughed. Pete dropped his pencil and coughed.
"You know Jimmy?" Juliet picked up Pete's pencil.
"Yeah," she handed it back to him, "is that bad?"
"No, I just didn't think you'd be friends with him." Oh,
"We just met yesterday Pete."
"You can't take him away." Juliet looked confused.
"Are you two, like, dating?" Pete's face flushed.
"No! He's… he's my only friend." Juliet looked at him and smiled widely.
"I'll be your friend Petey." Pete cringed at the nickname, but smiled at someone being his friend.
"Really?"
"Yeah, really." After Pete's and Juliet's little conversation, Pete got the sketch done and Juliet was working on hers when the bell rung for lunch.
"Can I sit with you Pete?" Juliet asked, pushing a stray hair behind her ear and picking up her sketchbook. Pete looked confused and surprised all at the same time.
"Yeah, of course you can." Juliet smiled and followed Pete out of the room.
./…\.
"Why don't you just leave him alone?" Juliet yelled at some bullies in just outside the main school building who were saying rude things to Petey.
"Ooh, got your lil' girlfriend watchin' out for you?" one said, scars marking his forehead. Juliet cringed as he walked towards her. He whistled and walked in circles around her.
"Nice catch you got here. What's your name baby?" he asked her, pulling her face towards his with his index finger. She pushed him off and spat at the ground where his shoes were.
"Juliet!"
"Feisty… I've always liked that in a girl." Juliet scoffed as she noticed Trent come around the corner.
"In your dreams." She turned away from him and started walking over to Pete, helping him up off the concrete. The bully rolled up his sleeves and smirked.
"Maybe this is a dream sweetheart."
"Davis!" Trent called after him. After Trent noticed Juliet he smirked and walked over to the bent over girl. He reached out and grabbed her butt. Without warning, Juliet gave Trent a hard right hook, sending him backwards.
"For the last time, leave me alone!" She started to walk away with Pete, but Davis grabbed her arm.
"Hey! You own us an apology… I have somethin' in mind baby." Juliet shoved him off.
"Stop it!" Suddenly, the arm removed itself. Juliet looked at her bruising arm and then at Davis, who was knocked out along with Trent. Standing over them was Jimmy.
"Look who's the damsel in distress…." Juliet smiled softly and pulled Petey along with her.
"Looks like you always save me. Thanks again Jim-bo."
"No problem. That's wha' the king has to do." Juliet was confused; king?
