Chapter 5
Blah, blah, blah, blah. That's all I could hear my teacher saying. I was trying to force my eyelids to stay open, though being lectured on chemical equations was just snore worthy. I really like science, but this year so far it's been really boring because we're just being lectured on chemistry.
Luckily I had Justin sitting next to me. He was caressing my right hand with his thumb under our desk. Crap this is just making me even sleepier. This is the only other class besides drama that I have with Justin. He was the only thing making this science class slightly enjoyable. The only other person from our group in this class was Harry and he sat by himself at the back of the classroom. There we heaps of spare desks in this class. I wonder why he doesn’t sit with us?
As I continued to fall asleep from the constant blabber and Justin's comforting presence, the teacher mentioned the word "experiment" and everyone suddenly seemed to have woken up from their own little world. Finally I can get up and do something in science. The teacher gave out a sheet with instructions and told us to go to a bench in groups of three or four. "I don't think this experiment needs explaining, it's very straight forward" Ms Green said.
Justin and I got up and grabbed a bench and Justin yelled out "Oi Harry! Over here!" Harry then quickly got up off his chair and swiftly headed over to where we were. "Hey man" Harry said to Justin as Justin pat his back. Then he turned to my direction and softly said hi with a little wave. I then said hi back feeling a little awkward.
I really don't get Harry. Sometimes he acts almost as weird as Louis with the boys but whenever I talk to him, he is as reserved and quiet as a member of the CIA, when they aren’t bursting into people’s houses that is.
Basically we had to burn a candle for combustion and mix some chemicals for precipitation and decomposition.
"Okay, should we get started?" I asked trying to get Justin's and Harry's attention from all this shit they were talking about.
"Yep let's get to it" Justin said enthusiastically.
Then we did the experiments as instructed and Justin couldn't help but sneak a kiss on the neck each time we finished a step. As much as I was enjoying it, I felt sorry for Harry. He was just standing there feeling awkward. Justin sure loves PDAs. I don’t know why but I can’t bring myself to kiss him back something was stoping me.
We recorded our observations. We exchanged laughs about some of the stupid stuff we wrote like "blue alien shit" and "Niall's fart gas." I love my friends, there’s never a boring moment with them.
We cleaned up and headed back to our own desks. As we were packing up, the bell rang and played "Let's Go" by Calvin Harris and Neyo. It seemed appropriate for a bell. Then everyone rushed out of class a stampede.
"Science was fun" Justin commented.
"Well if by fun you mean getting up off our ass, then sure science was fun" I replied.
We then got to the building with the drama room and the music rooms. My locker is just outside the drama room and my home room is inside the drama classroom. Maybe that's just fate reminding me of how dramatic my life is.
"See ya at our lunch table Justin" I said breathlessly.
"See ya" Justin replied giving me a quick peck on the lips.
As I walked up to my locker, got my things and headed to our lunch table, I couldn't help but think how lucky I was to have a boyfriend like Justin. He treated me like a princess and it was great how quickly we could fall into things with nothing stopping us.
As I approached the table, Justin caught my eye and patted the seat next to him signalling that he saved a seat for me. When I sat down next to him, he wrapped his arm me and we both seemed to have just caught the giggles.
Sitting front of me was my best friend Maria. We were partners in boy hunting before we each found a guy. She has dark brown curly hair, a gorgeous face and not to mention the best body ever (I'm secretly really jealous). Then next to her was her guy, Niall. He had dyed blonde hair, blue eyes and he possesses a cute Irish accent, Saralike to think he is a leprechaun.
Throughout most of lunch I talked to Maria while leaning on Justin and eating at the same time. It was not easy. While Maria and I were talking about an assignment we had for religion, Justin and Niall were blabbing about God knows what.
It was five minutes till next period and I had religion with Maria. "Connie, do you wanna head to religion with me early so we get the seats we want in class?"
"Sure...." I replied in mass confusion. We never had our seats taken before. What the hell was going on?
I then got up, kissed Justin on the cheek and said
"Bye justin, see ya after school."
"Bye babe" the said then pulling me in for a quick peck on the lips. I pulled back and then went along with Maria.
"Where the hell are we going Maria? I asked not recognizing our route. Maria suddenly switched to a quiet, serious tone which is really rare on her.
"Connie I have to talk to you about something."
I started feeling shivers through my back and then butterflies in my stomach. "Oh my God, what's wrong Maria? I asked worryingly.
Maria then started nervously "Um well, um I was talking with Niall a couple of days ago and um well, your boyfriend, um Justin well isn’t really the guy you think he is." I started getting a sense of fear and worried about what she was going to say next.
"Uhhh, what do you mean Maria?" I asked getting a bit frightened.
"Well he has been...no is a bit of a....ok I'm just gonna say what Niall said. Justin is a manwhore."
"What the fuck!!!!Wait what?" I was completely shocked. Justin would NEVER do anything to hurt me. He is so sweet and he is such a gentlemen.......most of the time.
"I'm sorry Connie. I just want to do what's best for you. I don't want to see you get hurt. Niall told me he does practically the same things with you that he did with the other girls he has been with. He’s playing you Connie." Maria said worryingly.
"Sorry Maria, but Justin and I like each other very much and I don't think there is anything that will change that. I appreciate your courage to come and talk to me but Justin has changed. Justin is not a player. He said he has been with a few other girls but none of them seemed right for him. He then said I was the girl he had been looking for the whole time."
I started to get a bit choked up, but not to the point that I was about to cry. Maria seemed to be choking up a bit too.
"Ok Connie. But before we head to religion, I just want to let you know, if anything happens between you guys, remember it’s not the end of the world and I am there for you no matter what."
I nodded slightly, forced a smile and gave her a hug. We then we walked in complete silence to religion. I used this time to think.
Personally I believe what Niall told Maria was complete bullshit. It's been like just over 2 weeks. Justin is proving himself to becoming in a committed relationship with me. We may be going kind of fast but nothing is going wrong and we seem to be having fun with it so yeah.
I solemnly swear that I believe Justin is a perfectly decent human being and we are going to have the best of times in the future.

It’s been a month since the boys came and now it’s just a part of our lives even though a lot has changed. I don’t even question the fact that Liam is always waiting for me on the station with a skim milk hot chocolate. Friendships have been made and relationships have been formed as well. I smile every time I think of the partnerships like Ashley and Max and how they got together…
*FLASHBACK- 2 WEEKS AGO*
“Guys, I’m going to run lines for drama.”
“Yeah Ashley because we all care so much what you do.” Ethan added over his shoulder looking away from Alyssa who was lying in his lap eating a sandwich.
She walked away up to the drama room. Ashley has this weird obsession on running over her lines at least twenty times a week, so that they’re ‘perfecto’ as she says.
Ashley’s P.O.V.
I hate stairs. I absolutely hate them with a passion. The stairs in D Block are particularly treacherous. The drama room is on the second floor and I’m usually walking there at least once a day. I finish my climb the top of the stairs and the first thing I see is Miss Tina with one perfectly shaped eyebrow raised.
“Hi Ashley, at the drama room again are we? Why don’t you make a bed and you can live in there, that way you don’t have to walk up the stairs every day.”
“Very funny Miss. You should be a comedian. I mean, you’re funny enough to be really successful.”
“I thought it was funny. That’s why I said it.” I wasn’t expecting the smug look on her face, but it amuses me to see a teacher act so childishly. I shook the comment off and walked into the drama room. I paused for a moment, breathing in the somehow liberating air before chucking my stuff on the floor and going into the lighting room. I turned on the stage area lights and went back into the main room. I turned off the house light and kicked off my shoes. Practicing under real conditions helps my performances be more successful and authentic, and besides it’s always more fun to not be wearing shoes. I stood in the spot light finally feeling at home, which is rare in a school. I’m playing the part of Juliet in the play and I already have all my lines down and memorised. I just have to work on delivering them in character. I stood there and started rehearsing, trying to use different tones and mood each time. Every time I got to the kissing scene I stopped. Pausing for a moment waiting for Romeo to say his bit the last thing I was expecting was for someone to actually start talking.
Wait a minute, who is speaking? I turned to face the door and standing there was Max. He was reciting the monologue perfectly and walking towards me at the same time gesturing to me pretending I was Juliet. His eyes seemed to be filled with so much love and adoration towards me. Wow, he’s a really good actor.
“Wanna run lines, my fair Juliet?”
“Yeah, why not… my handsome Romeo.” We went from the beginning over and over running through everything but the kissing scene. We always skipped over the kissing scene.
“Do you want to try it?”
“Try what?” He effectively brought me out of my day dreaming/thinking state.
“Do you want to try the scenes that we’ve- more like you’ve been avoiding this entire time?”
“Fine then. Let’s do it.” He stood in front of me smiling slyly, wiggling his eyebrows and winking for at least a whole minute for I caught on to what he was saying, or gesturing in this case. ”Ewwwww, I meant the scene not that thing. I don’t want to do the nasty with you!”
“Not yet my dear, not yet.” He said acting like a total creeper even changing his voice to suit the character. I laughed then slowly trailed off. We were both standing there caught in some kind of daze, not able to move. Or at least, not willing to do so.
I made the first move and stared the script. At the end of the scene the star crossed lovers were meant to lean in and kiss. I leant in thinking that he was going to lean in then we could lean out without having actually done anything but he kept leaning in and then a little bit more until his lips brushed mine. He put his hands on the side of my face and I put arms around his neck. I’ve never done this before but it felt so natural, so right.
“Go out with me my darling?” He looked a little bit nervous and I smiled. That obviously meant that he cared about the answer.
“Of course I will.” My lips said of their own accord, but I didn’t care because I agreed totally with what they said. I saw his eyes flicker to my lips and then they met again. Shit I am kissing him I almost forgot how is that even possible. I know that he’ll dump me soon because I’m not good enough but right now I can’t bring myself to care. All I can do is relish in the warmness of his arms and the softness of lips on mine.
------PRESENT TIME- SARA’S P.O.V-------------
“Hey Alyssa, tell me how you and Ethan got together, pleeeeeaaaaaassssse? You never really did and you can’t withhold this information. I will get it by other means if you don’t tell me. Mark my words.”
“Baby, you should probably tell her. She’s relentless and it can get annoying.” Ethan said to Alyssa flashing me a cheeky smile.
“Hey, watch yourself.” I lectured him jokingly. “Remember that it’s sisters before misters and you’re just a boy who has no say.”
“Fine I’ll tell you. Calm the freak down.”
---------------FLASHBACK- Alyssa’s P.O.V.- 3 Weeks Ago---------
I love this song. I smiled as ‘Falling In Reverse’ came through the speakers playing ‘I’m Not A Vampire’. I bobbed my head up and down to the music not worrying about running into anyone, because quite honestly the hallway only had little ‘year seveners’(as Catherine calls them) in it and they run out of your way. Ah I remember being in Year Seven. All of a sudden my music induced trance was broken when into a really firm feeling wall in the middle of the hallway and fell flat on my bum.
“Who the fcuk put a wall in the middle of the hallway?” I asked the rhetorical question and all the year seveners looked heaps scared, like I was going to snap and bash them up. “Calm down, I’m not going to go ape shiz or anything.” They all visibly relaxed and when back to their business.
I looked up and realise that I had not run into any unfortunately placed walls but a guy instead. Wow he’s hot. I wouldn’t mind taking that for a spin.
“Sorry, ‘I was listening to I’m not a vampire again’. I got caught up in the music.”
“I love that song. Mind if I listen?”
“Not at all. I restart it.” I handed him one of the ear pieces and we both bobbed our heads to the beat as we walked in to class earning us stares from everyone else but I don’t care. I get those all the time. Especially when I’m with any of my friends especially Sara. We make a crazy bunch . A week later he asked me out . He took me to a falling in reverse concert. Let’s just say, he’s good enough in my books.
---BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN, SARA’S P.O.V. AGAIN----
Now I know you all wanted to know what happened to Maria and Niall, so let me tell you.
They decided to go out because Maria didn’t want to be friends with benefits but as she put it ‘nature was calling’ so now they are together and are really cute.
Catherine and Louis have also gotten together and they’re really cute but they have to be the weirdest couple I have ever heard of, let alone witnessed even though they are two of my closest friends.
-------------------FLASHBACK, 2 WEEKS AGO, Catherine’s POV ;P-----------------------------
I turned the last page of the book. Damn it I really need to stop reading so quickly. That’s Book number three this week and it’s only Tuesday. Go me, but it’s incredibly annoying when you’ve run out of good books to read because you’ve read them all and the library can’t match my pace of reading with getting new books in so I’m stuck reading boring old non-fictions about random stuff that’s irrelevant and half untrue because the author wasn’t bothered to do any credible research. I walked to the shelf in the back corner and started flicking through. I decided to close my eyes and point my finger at one and that’s the one I’ll borrow. I pointed to a gold spine book, but before I could take it and hire it, it was taken from the other side of the bookshelf and a pair of gorgeous blue eyes popped up.
“Hey.” I almost fell back as a cute guy was revealed. He moved away from the books showed his handsome face. He was cute and he had childlike looks and brown hair in a cute Bieber cut. His wide rimmed glasses really suited him. What the heck are you doing Catherine I stopped myself. Now is not the time to be checking some random guy out. He is a boy he is most likely here to make fun of you, not to encourage any kind of positive relations.
“Try this one.” He said handing me a big red and black book that was titled ‘An Ideal Boyfriend’. I hadn’t seen this book before. I quickly caught on to what he was trying to do.
I turned around and chose out a classic short story- ‘The Dream’. He frowned for a moment before turning around and walking around. I chose not to follow him. If he thought that one shut down warranted his giving up then that’s fine. I guess he wasn’t ‘Mr. Right’ as Sara had always put it. He came back though which shocked me. Usually once guys met me they lose any interest they may have previously had. He was holding two books and she showed me the book on the top first. It was called ‘Story of My Life.’ Then he revealed another one…’Top Ten Dates to Take A Girl On’.
I walked around and finally found the book I was looking for- ‘Great Expectations’
“So what do you say? Wanna go on a date? I can be Peeta to your Katniss, Edward to your Bella.”
“I’ve always been more of a Gale kind of girl, and I like my vampires bloodthirsty, not half fairy.”
“Well I could always be… Oh, I don’t know, the Harry to your Ginny. And what do you mean by half fairy?”
“ He sparkles which must mean he has some fairy blood in him. And I’ve always questioned that relationship. It just seems unreal to me.”
“How about the Romeo to your Juliet.”
“I’ve always seen Romeo as a total player and Juliet as a girl who found herself susceptible to his so called ‘charms’. He just wanted to get into her pants. And did you forget they both died”
“Well then I guess I’ll have to be Patch to your Nora. And if we want to get technological, we can just go on Wattpad into the realm of She’s One Of The Boys and I can be the Saxon to your Eva.”
“Well I do love both those partnerships, especially Saxon and Eva so I guess I have no choice but to go on a date with you.”
“See You Saxon.”
“Wait Eva!” I turned around to see him running towards me, taking the permanent marker that the librarian was using out of her hands and he grabbed my arm, writing a series of numbers in really big writing. “Give me a call, or a text.” He winked and walked away leaving me there reading his number.
------------------SARA’S P.O.V.- PRESENT TIME------------------------------------------
It’s sad as it seems like I am the only one without a boyfriend. Even Catherine who tends to intimidate guys with her knowledge has one. They are really cute, he sits on a chair, then she sits on his lap and they read books together and whisper facts and knowledge in each other’s ears , it is kind of wired. Everyone says that Liam and I should go out. I do like him but I don’t think he likes me in that way. It would be a one sided thing but we do have our moments…
“Hey babe.” Liam greeted as he handed me my skim milk hot chocolate. It’s a ritual we share since I always ended up drinking up half of his when he came to the train station.
“Thanks. What’s up?”I asked .
“Not much but I’m just about to freeze. It’s really cold today, are you cold?” He started to take off his outer layer, a big jacket and handed it to me.
“No, I never feel the cold. You’ll need it more than I will.” He put his jacket back on and leant over putting his hand on the top half of my arm.
Look at him he looks like Mister Bean I was so wrapped up in my own thoughts that it took me a minute to actually hear what he said. I looked up and there really was a guy that looked like Mister Bean. I looked at him and for a brief second I thought he was staring at me and then he flashed his beautiful smile and I completely forgot.
But any way SAVE ME
