Literature in English."ok class
"Today we're gonna be learning about the greatest English playwright,poet and actor.william Shakespeare"he said full of enthusiasm.
*Cough,Cough* "lame"someone echoed at the back.
"Who said that"Mr Johnson said as a slight frowned appeared on his face."William Shakespeare is not 'lame' he is awesome.are I'm sure by the time I'm done with this lesson you'll think so too"
I certainly doubt that.it was at times like this I was glad Jason's seat wasn't behind mine. That way I can admire him to pass the time.
He was staring intensely at Mr Johnson but I just knew he wasn't hearing a thing. He still had his air pods on,he just opened his eyes when the teacher came in. He seemed pretty down today which was odd. He was normally always vibrant on Fridays so what happened...which reminds me. For some reason he came early to class today. Normally it would be around now that he would be coming in. Did something happen or he just decided to come early. I shoved the unimportant thought away as I looked at his magnificent features. His fawn Iris that shone. His wavy honey blonde hair that I could just imagine running my fingers through.his amazing medium lips I could fantasize the feel of on my skin.and his jawline, that amazing side view of him that was all so breathtakingly perfect. Then all too soon out of nowhere he slowly turned around and met my gaze!
Oh shit. He caught me staring at him,what was i going to do! Act cool,act cool I looked away feeling stealthy but then foolishly looked back to see if he was still looking and surprisingly he was. I was about looking away when he raised his brow at me then uses his head to gesture at the front of the class.wait huh,what does that mean.....
"RHEA JEFFERSON!! "Ohhhh no.dont tell me Mr Johnsons been calling my name. That's when I snapped out of it.
"Sir!" I responded quickly.
It was then I realized that the whole class was staring at Me like I was some sort of movie or something. While looking around I saw a pair of cerulean Iris that were looking at me with fireworks in them. That asshole must be absorbing this embarrassment by now.
"Ohh.....so I see this is your way of telling me you're also not interested in this topic huh" he looked a bit angry and I honestly didn't know why.
"No actually,I just... kinda zoned out a bit"
" Yes of course...... because he's soooo lame" ugh God what the hell is wrong with this guy.
As a matter of fact yes he's very lame. I rolled my eyes.
I heard some people laugh and that was when I realized I had just said my last sentence out loud.
I looked at Mr Johnson. He just stood there for a while in silence "Rhea, read the Entire book of Othello by Shakespeare and prepare yourself to present and explain it on Monday in front of the whole class. That includes the themes, the characters,the plot, setting and the authors background maybe then you'll appreciate him more.If I am not satisfied with your presentation I will give you three days detention. Good day class."
And just like that he left the class.wait what the hell just happened. He still had like 20 more minutes before the class ended. And he just left. Was he even allowed to do that? But that was not the problem. How was I going to waste my weekend reading Othello? The themes, characters,plot and setting and! The authors background.i facepalmed.
Classes passed in a blur.maybe just for Me though.well anyways it was time for our lunch break. Not wanting to waste any more time in class as soon as the period was over I stood up and left the class.
I'm sure you guys are wondering why on earth I'm always alone in this school. Well,what happened is my best friend,Claire who is literally the only person I talk to around here just moved to Canada last two weeks So I'm pretty much friendless now.
I got to the cafeteria and took a seat in my regular position right after getting my food. I was starving. I held my sandwich firmly in my hands and started bringing them to my lips when I heard that freakishly annoying but somehow soothing voice behind me.
"Great job getting yourself extra work for the weekend"
And before I knew it he was sitting in front of me kn the round table with that cute but annoying grin on his face."what do you want Brett?"
He raised his brow" am I not allowed to be around u now?" His grin not fading.
"I'm trying to eat my sandwich in peace"
"Ion care" I took a bite out of my food.
"Well I just wanted to let you know how the incident with Mr Johnson made u a little bit More popular.....but since you're not interested "he shrugged.
"More popular,how?"
He grinned again" well as in a few set of people that didn't know you before in class do now" "Maybe even Jason" he added
I paused.wait could he be serious???"you're just kidding " I took another bite.
He rolled his eyes."well, have it your way"
I ignored him as I continued munching down my food so seriously I didn't realize that Brett already left until when I heard someone clear thier throat.
Confused I looked up. And I was shocked!it was Jason standing bsyd my table with his buds cameroon and Donny.what where they doing here???. I froze in my spot" Rhea right?"
His deep calming voice came through my ears like a nice melody I felt the muscle in my body become tensed up.my heart was racing Soo fast.he knew my name? "Yeah" I managed to said actually fool.
"Thanks for saving our ass' back their in class, Sorry for the extra working though.if you need help,I'm down.i know a lot about Othello, though I don't really like Shakespearean Novels or plays that's the only exception .so maybe I could be useful to you in your research. That's if you're down for it though."
Oh my God what was happening. Jason Herbert was indirectly asking me to hang out. This was mind-blowing. I can't believe this was actually happening. How was I going to reply in a way I wouldn't sound desperate!!
