ELIZABETH:" So what's your ideal thought of a perfect date ? " Alex asked me as she jumped on the bed, smiling so much her lips could fall off.We left school some hours ago and although I have alot of assignments to be done and submitted next week, I'm actually very happy because it's weekend, meaning no school till Monday, isn't that so great." I don't know, " I said with a shrug. " Come on don't be a spoiler " Alex said giving me a grim look. " I guess watching a movie " I said picking on the chips in front of me." Oh betty you are actually a nerd now that I come to think of it. of all the places to go on a date, you prefer watching a sad movie and chewing on popcorn " she said eyeing me" I never said it was a sad movie " I countered smiling." Whatever. oh wait watching a movie isn't a bad idea, you get to buy one jombo sized popcorn and a large cola with two straws. I like it " she said with a grin. I nod my head as I watched her act like a baby. " So what do you plan on
" Be home before eleven thirty " someone yelled and we all looked up to see Raphael shirtless and standing by his window shooting Shawn a death glare." Yes " Shawn said and I could tell he was scared. " It's okay. " I assured him. " bye alex " I said and she waved before shutting the door, at last Shawn and I were alone." You look beautiful Betty " he said and I blushed before looking at him." You are not bad " I said and he laughed before opening the door of the car so I can get in. as soon as I am settled in the passenger's seat, he closed the door and then got into the drivers seat. I buckled my seatbelt as he started the car then he drove out of Alex's neighborhood into the big road." Where are we going ? " I asked him " My dad's restaurant " he said and gave me a smile, his eyes glued to the road. " Okay " I muttered before sitting back on my chair. I stared at him as he stared at the road, he looked so serious and I couldn't help but think he is going to be someone who ca
ELIZABETH:" You can stop staring at me now " I said to Alex the next day, it was currently Saturday and since I came back home late yesterday night, I just told her about the date with Shawn and she has been squeaking and staring at me.If you are wondering what happened after Shawn kissed my yesterday night, well I broke the kiss few minutes later and then I told him I would think about his question. it was so awkward for me but he kept on grinning everytime he stared at my face. he took me home later and then pecked my cheek." I want to look at you the whole day " she said and smiled again " Soon you would have a boyfriend " she added and I forced a smile." I'm glad you really had fun yesterday. but I'm more curious to know how much fun you would have today " she said " I'm curious too trust me. " I said truthfully. the truth is I'm nervous because I don't even know if Adam likes me or he just wants to hang out with me. and in school he is also known as the top playboy.When ha
Did he stand me up?. he could have just told me if he wasn't interested in taking me out in the first place, why did he have to make a fool of me. well a player will always be a player, I don't know why I got my hopes up for nothing. " He is here " alex said almost yelling as she pulled me to look outside the window.He pulled the helmet off his head and then got off his bike, wait I didn't know he owned a bike?. am I supposed to get on that thing with him I rushed outside the door,okay I was pushed outside the door by Alex who gave me a grin. I composed myself and watched as he walked up to the porch, as I stood there, I took everything in, from his leather jacket to his black jeans and his white tee shirt to his black boots. his hair was messier than ever thanks to the helmet and it made him sexier. I can't belief I called someone sexyAs soon as he sights me, his face lit up in a smile and I couldn't help but smile at him too, all my worries varnishing permanently. my chest was
" I would like a latte and for him an expresso " I said to the lady who came to take our orders. " You remember ? " he asked me and I blushed" I have a good memory actually " I said touching my head." So how well did you practice your lines juliet " he asked me and I smiled." Very well Romeo. " I answered and he grinned " Okay then let's start something before our coffee comes " he said" Okay " I agreed and then we proceeded with our presentation...Few minutes later, we had practiced our presentation to our content and are now drinking Ice cream while eating brownies." Should we play twenty questions ? " he asked me" Why not " I said and he nodded" Okay let me go first " he said smiling. I nod my head and watch him closely." What's your best color ? " he asked me. no one has asked my favourite colour in a long time." Chocolate brown " I said and watched his expression." That's pretty unique. I thought girls always sticked to shiny and sparkling colours like pink or purple
ELIZABETH:" Would you stop crying your eyes out ? " Alex said trying to pull the covers off my head but I was holding on to it so tight.He doesn't like me He doesn't like me" You are scaring me. first you came home early, without your purse drenched in sweat and did you walk home ? and now you are crying and being all emotional " she said again still pulling the covers " I am so stupid, I thought for a second something that I should never have thought of Alex " I said in tears." Hey tell me what happened " she said and finally succeeded in pulling the cloth from me. I had been crying for more than an hour so I know that I don't look so good right now. Wait why doesn't he like me, because I don't wear make up like the other girls, is it because I don't dress like them too. Or is it because of my red hair, should I just dye it blonde." Jesus you look like a zombie " she yelled and I pulled the covers back before sobbing again. It was more funny because I don't even know why I'm c
ELIZABETH:I sigh and move to my allocated seat because we are meant to sit with our project partners and Adam is currently my project partner. I dropped my bag on the floor beside the locker and take my seat, trying to ignore every living thing in the class as usual.A paper is left hanging on the table where Adam was standing earlier along with a black purse, my black purse.You idiot. I must have left it on the table at Starbucks on Saturday when I was with him. I picked up my purse and the note sticking to it. HereThat single word left me feeling confused and sad and I didn't even know what to think. " Come in Mr Rivers, you are not getting out of this presentation " Mr Mike said entering the class with Adam staring at the ground beside him." Good morning Mr Mike " we chorused and then he smiled " Good morning everyone. I hope we all had wonderful weekends ? " He asked and we noded our heads." Take your seat Mr Rivers " he said looking at Adam." But " Adam started to say."
" Oh romeo " I whispered as he wrapped his hands around my waist, his eyes holding my eyes in yet another long hard gaze." We will be together forever my darling. We just have to be a little more patient, you can do that right " he asked, his free hand holding my chin up to look at him. " I can do anything as long as I have you by my side. I love you Romeo " I whispered againHis eyes watch me intensely and then lowers his gaze to my lips. I think Romeo and Juliet are meant to share a kiss at the end of this scene. So am I supposed to kiss Adam.His lips touching mine in a second had my eyes wide open with shock. I didn't think he would do it this quickly considering the way our relationship is right now. It's for the play stupid, stop overreacting.I closed my eyes and then kissed him back before he pulled away panting." I love you too Juliet " " Adam " my voice came out a little louder than I expected and the whole class was looking at me now with weird faces but Adam who just k
