Chapter 25
Renee’s POV
“Okay. So there’s gonna be a fantastic party this weekend and I bet you wouldn’t wanna miss it for anything in the world” Ashley reminded me for the umpteenth time as we walked into the hallway.
Jeez, she wouldn’t let me breathe. In three days, this was the hundredth fucking time she was telling me about this party.
Yeah, it has been three days already and so much has happened. Apart from Shane being a fucking runaway pussy, Layla has been a pain in the ass. She keeps throwing it at my face that I’m the fucking reason why her best friend left and she wouldn’t stop glaring, each time her eyes landed on me.
Unlike her, Theoden is a better sweetheart and a cute assed guy. We play basketball most of the time since his playmate is away and we also do a couple of things together like our homework and going out to get groceries.
“And guess what? I’ve got the perfect outfits for us. We’re gonna appear hot and magical” She said and paused. “Wait, did I just say magical? Yeah, I did. Maybe a little more of that but we’re surely gonna be the boss-assed bitches of that night”
“Yes, of course, we’re gonna be anything you want” I mumbled my reply as I opened my locker to fetch my notebook and textbook for the first class. Ashley excitedly squealed at my response and I sighed. Seriously?
“That’s the spirit, girl. Now we better hurry so we won’t be late for Mr. Romeo’s class”
Mr. Jackson was our Literature teacher but his love for the story about Romeo and Juliet earned him the nickname, Mr. Romeo. I heard he loved telling the story about the lovers and would end up shedding tears.
“OMG, Shane is here!”
The students yelled in excitement and started running out of the hall. They did this every time they laid eyes on the pussy, Shane and it was so fucking funny it got me laughing my ass out. But now, I felt sorry for the poor fellow cause all they did was make him fucking nervous. I bet he always felt like peeing on his damn pants.
“Gosh, he’s so fucking cute” Ashley muttered, her eyes pinned on the most handsome guy in Carnation High. He was now standing in front of his locker with Theoden and Layla, paying no attention to the students who kept staring at him.
“Everyone says so, Ash. He’s fucking hot but he’s a pussy” Taking my eyes away from them, I took out everything I needed and locked up my locker.
It’s been three fucking days since our last meeting and Shane has decided to act like I don’t fucking exist. He runs off to God knows where immediately after classes and doesn’t speak or hang out with anyone else except his bitch of a best friend and Theoden.
He’d rather walk into a fucking wall than come anywhere close to me. I don’t catch him staring at me anymore and for three days now, he hasn’t looked my way. Sounds fucking great right?
“I told you so, didn’t I?” Ashley chuckled as we walked over to our first class. “Shane is Shane and he’ll never change. He’s been that way since middle school. We all thought he’d loosen up a bit in Junior High but look who we have here. He’s still the cute and handsome good boy that everyone loves and could die for”
I snorted in response and took my seat next to Ashley. We’ve gotten so fucking close and it didn’t take long for everyone to notice. We were like the new BFFs everyone talked about but I didn’t care. I like our friendship and I liked Ashley too. She was beautiful, intelligent and so fucking cool.
“How can he change when no one has ever tried to change him?”
“Are you kidding me, girl? You’re only saying that because you don’t know the number of super hot girls and guys who have tried to do so”
Shane walked into the class with Layla who rolled her eyes at me. Seriously, I don’t get what her problem is with me.
“So… what’s with this attitude Layla gives you all the time? You guys live in the same house. Aren’t you two supposed to act like siblings?”
“No, Ashley, we don’t have to because we’re not siblings” Layla’s voice came from behind us and we turned to look at her. She had an obvious fake, plastered smile on her face.
“Can you shut that fucking thing you call a mouth?” I asked and she gasped in shock, her face turning red like tomatoes. “And again, try not to chip into any conversation that doesn’t concern you, okay? It’s rude and disrespectful of you, gosh, I thought you knew”
“But since you don’t, be a fucking good girl and sit your ass down” That being said, I smiled at the now-embarrassed Layla and turned back to face Ashley.
“What are you assholes looking at huh?” Ashley snapped at the students who were staring at us like they didn’t have a class in the next sixty seconds. Instantly, they looked away and scurried back to their seats just as Mr. Romeo walked into the class.
“Good morning beautiful and handsome students!”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Good morning Mr. Romeo!” We chorused cheerfully and he smiled, shaking his head. Without being told, one could tell that he loved the nickname the students gave him.
His class was fucking interesting and interactive as students struggled to answer his questions. Well, not me because I’m not a fan of answering questions in class. But that doesn’t mean that I’m not fucking smart. I studied hard, made excellent grades, and was always at the top of my class since middle school.
“Brilliant answer, Shane Dalton, brilliant answer!” Mr. Romeo beamed and the whole class applauded, smiling cheekily at Shane.
“Whatever” I muttered with an eye roll but then, I felt his eyes boring holes into my back. Going by my instincts, I turned and caught him staring at me.
Our eyes met for the first time in three days but this time, he didn’t try to look away. He held my intense gaze, his eyes locked with mine.
