Chapter ten: Soon Enough
Juliet couldn't wait for the day; it was Christmas and she bought gifts for Jimmy, Beatrice, and Petey. Beatrice? You ask; well the past week, Juliet had hung out with her… especially since Beatrice was helping Juliet in Math, Mr. Hattrick hated her; she knew it. Since Juliet had taken a shower the night before, she made no attempt to go into the shower room. She mainly put on make-up, and a plus; her period stopped the night before! She was very thankful for that.
She lifted her lip gloss off the wooden stand and slid it over her plump lips. When she was done, she rubbed her lips together and added eye liner. Make-up hurt sometimes, especially when you poked it in your eye. She blinked away the tears and put on mascara.
Soon enough, she had eye shadow on and was straightening her hair. It was already straight, but curled at the ends and she hated that. It looked so much like her mother's hair that way. Juliet looked at herself in the mirror that hung itself on her wall. She admired herself; not really her body, but more of her face. She loved the way her rosy cheeks were naturally that way, not brushed over. Taking her textbooks for Biology and Shop, she left the crowded dorm.

"I barely made it out!" Juliet said to Petey, making circles with her arms to symbolize that people were dodging and throwing things around. Petey paid more attention to two rather large boxes in her hands and a smaller box. Juliet smirked as she knew what he was staring at.
"Since I have no other classes with you except lunch, of course, here." She handed him one of the larger boxes. He cautiously opened the silvery wrapping paper. His mouth slowly dropped as he saw what was inside. It was his own art set. Since they started talking again, Petey admitted his 'enjoyment' of art. So, with Petey in mind, Juliet bought him a good set of shading pencils, a packet of thick paper, and some outlining markers. He hugged her and pulled back; less to say it started and ended at the same time.
"Thank you—," he was cut off as a playboy and playgirl magazine fell out of the packet of paper. Petey, baffled, quickly picked it up quickly as his face flushed.
"Juliet!" She only laughed and walked off to Biology.

"Oh Juliet!" Beatrice said, gushing at her gift, "I didn't get you anything…" she said as she held the pretty necklace. Juliet saw it at Yum Yum Market and loved it. It had a golden metal chain and hanging at the end was a flower, shaped as a lily. She knew that Beatrice hated any flower except Lilies and Tulips.
"No problem. I thought you'd like it." Beatrice pointed to the rather large box and had a look in eyes saying: who is that for?
"Jimmy Hopkins." Juliet said as she watched Beatrice cut the frog's intestines out. It was disgusting to say the least. Beatrice coughed and raised her hand.
"We're done Dr. Slawter." He wondered over and looked it over. With a wave of his hand, they walked off to lunch. The deal with the dissection was if anyone got done earlier, they could go to lunch earlier.
"J-Jimmy?" she said, she sounded…jealous?
"Yeah, why?" Beatrice looked down.
"I've liked him since he came to the school… he kissed me… I kissed him, but he's such a player." Juliet laughed and smacked her friend's back.
"We're only friends." But, still, she felt a tug at her heart as she said those words.
"Yeah, of course." Soon, they were at the lunch room Juliet practically fell onto the lunch table. Could it be that she had feelings for Jimmy? But, it couldn't be… they were just friends.
(A/N: Okay, sorry for late updates and stuff! My last chapter didn't come up as the alert I put it up for! I'm so pissed FF net... They need to start fixing the things they actually have and stop adding new things when everything has a fucking 'error'. Yeah, I'm pissed 'cause it deleted the last chapter and I had to rewrite it!!! So anyways, review.)
