Romeo’s Kiss Chapter three
Bran sighed heavily as he plopped down in a chair in his backyard; His
newest best friend sitting next to him in a stretched out lawn chair. “Dude,
what’s your problem?” Trevor asked him.
“Julie.” He said before leaning forward a rubbing his eyes.
“Yeah, she’s a nice chick, what about her?” He asked, clueless to
their dispute over the past week.
“A nice chick? You mean a hell chick.”
“What? Are you serious?”
“Yeah, she’s being a bitch to me. I mean, I thought the hole school
knew we had been fighting since I got here.” Brian clued him in on how they
had started out on a bad foot and now he just wanted to make it right with her
and actually get to know her. Trevor just happened to know a lot about her since
he had basically grown up going to school with her. He told her a lot about what
Julie’s really like.
“You mean she’s a vegetarian?” Brian asked quizzically.
“Yeah. She says she just can’t stand to eat another animal, she feels
guilty.” Trevor snickered. Brian thought about it for a minute and it really
just seemed like a humane person being nice to other animals.
“Well how come she don’t like me. I mean, I didn’t do anything to
her.”
“You just told me how you tripped her in the hall dude.”
“I didn’t trip her…we just kinda collided, and I didn’t even help
her up, I was havin’ a bad day, okay! I mean it was my first day here.”
Brian explained…
The next day
“I can’t believe I had a dream about HIM.” Julie sneered as she
explained her weird dream to Codi. The night before she hadn’t been able to
sleep until about four in the morning and then she had a dream about Brian, in
the dream they were just hanging out together, actually getting a long, until
Brian kissed her and then she woke up. She didn’t even like him; it was weird.
She shrugged it off for the moment and went to class.
They sat in Mr. Jones science class for forty minutes, Brian yawned
constantly while he sat and numbly listened to Mr. Jones explain the law of
gravity, he glanced over at Julie the hole while. She seemed interested in the
class; Trevor had told him yesterday that she was into science, and sci-fi
stuff. Science wasn’t one of Brian’s good points, he was more into math,
while he also learned Julie hated math so obviously they were totally opposite
from what he guessed.
Julie felt someone watching her and slightly turned her head, out of the
corner of her eyes she saw Brian glance in her direction, he quickly looked away
and she tried to go back to listening to the assignment Mr. Jones was giving
them but thought back to the dream se had had the night before and found herself
glancing nervously in Brian’s direction.
Codi made a few people laugh as she balanced a pencil in her eyebrow ring
getting Mr. Jones attention. “Codi?” He asked. She quickly took the pencil
from her eyebrow and sat up straight looking at Mr. Jones.
“Yes.” She said cracking a smile as a few people snickered. She soon got sent to the front of the class where Jones had a few chairs in front of the lab tables, he called it ‘the jail’ all the trouble makers where sent up there. She sat there for a little while before Trevor joined her for throwing spit wades at the ceiling. They sat next to each other and stared at the wall for a minute.
“Hey, you’re Julie’s best friend, right?” Trevor whispered over
to her as he lightly elbowed her. She looked over at him, a little confused. She
noticed the lip ring, similar to her eyebrow ring, and his short spiky hair with
fire red tips. Her own hair was really long, dark blonde, with bright red at the
bottom that faded up into blonde making it look like fire. She smiled a little
and nodded her head.
“And your Brian’s friend, huh?” She asked, as she was catching on.
They started talking a little to loud and got sent out into the hall where they
devised a plan.
“Okay, are we ganna get them together or what?” Codi asked, waving
her hand in the direction of the classroom as they sat on the floor out in the
hall. Trevor shook his head with a mischievous smile.
“Okay, here’s what we do…”
