Romeo and Juliet » Lucas Friar

vi. career day

"Don't get too cocky, Ranger Rick. You're tolerable at best." Juliet told him.

Juliet continued to work on her Farkle sketch while the teacher was explaining.

"Get used to this. Get used to this right now. When drawing a Farkle start with the eyes." Miss Kossal said.

"I think the eyes should go straight to the gun show." Farkle said flexing his muscle.

"Aww Farkle, you can't show what you don't have." Juliet told him from her seat causing the boy to stick his tongue out at her.

"Maya, you're supposed to concentrate on the eyes." Riley spoke up from in the middle seat looking over at Maya's art.

"See, you know what my problem is? I don't listen. By the way, you're drawing Lucas." Maya informed her.

Juliet walked over to her friends table and eyes Riley's sketch and saw that she had definitely been drawing Lucas.

"Oh. Well, that's the first time I've done that." Riley said.

Juliet flipped to the next page of Riley's sketchbook and saw another drawing of Lucas as different fruits.

"Do I need help?" Riley asked her friends.

Maya and Juliet shook their heads yes in agreement.

"I know these are works in progress, but let's see where we are." Miss Kossal spoke.

"Maybe we'll become famous artists. We'll go to Paris, drink coffee in outdoors. How do I look." Riley said sitting on the table pretending to be in Paris.

Maya began to make a little tune and draw Riley at a café in Paris that's when Juliet appeared.

"Fine, make fun of me. I'm a serious artist who belongs in Paris." Riley said.

Lucas got up from his seat and walked towards the girls shortly after.

"Bonjour, Lucas." Riley said smiling.

"Bonjour, Riley." Lucas responded.

Lucas started to have a whole conversation in French leaving the girls confused.

"Wow, et là, je pensais que la seule langue que tu parlais était ouais." Juliet spoke.

Translation: "Wow, and here I thought the only language you spoke was Yeehaw."

Juliet spoke leaving her friends in a state of shock. She'd bet Demetrius that if she could learn French in a week he would do her chores. They obviously shook on it because he didn't expect her to learn in just a week.

And technically she didn't.. she learned in three days.

She actually enjoyed it so she just stuck with it for a while until she got bored and moved onto the next activity.

"Bonjour, Lucas." Riley repeated awkwardly.

He smiled and walked away continuing to work on his sketch.

"What did he say?" Riley asked excitedly turning to face Juliet who was standing to her right.

"And when did you learn French?" Maya asked Juliet still in shock at the conversation beforehand.

"Yeah, and what did he say?" Riley asked again.

"Un magicien ne révèle jamais son secret." Juliet said.

Translation: "A magician never reveals her secret."

Juliet said blowing a kiss towards her best friends direction then walking away.
