You're the one

Romeo and Juliet

Lilly dragged her feet into her English class and sat down in her seat. She looked around to see if Zander was in class. Honestly, she dreaded seeing Zander, but unfortunately for her, there's nothing that she can do about it.

Lilly gave a relieved sigh when she saw that Zanders's seat was still empty. Maybe he's not at school today, she thought.

Good morning, class greeted Mr. Drake

Good morning, sir. greeted the class

On every table is a test. Please finish it, and then we will start with the play. Do I need to remind you how important this is? asked Mr. Drake

No sir its not necessary. we know said a student.

Good, and your time starts now.

The door burst open halfway through our test. Everyone looked up, and there stood Zander, but he was not alone right next to him was Kristen both looked like they had just gotten out of bed.

Aww, Mr. Blade, so nice of you to join us, Miss Lock. You're not in this class. What are you doing here?

Mr. D, I'm here to help Zan with his play.

No, you're not. You're not allowed to.

How will he get good grades without the perfect person to help him?

There's an entire class that is part of the play. You're not needed, so please take your leave.

I will not, sir. Zander told me who plays Juliet. How do you expect him to play a part where his "lover" is a big fat, chubby nerd with massive ugly glasses?

Kristen looked me dead in the eyes with a triumphant look on her face.

That's enough, Miss Lock. Please go to the principal's office. You will not speak about or to one of my students like that, especially if they're your sister.

Kristen glared at me with hatred in her eyes and stormed out of the classroom.

I put my head down in shame, trying to hide as much as possible.

I'm so sorry, class about that rude interruption. Please finish your papers. Miss Lock, can I please see you after class?

I just gave the teacher a nod and said nothing. I forced myself to focus on my paper. No matter what, I will not let all the bullying affect my grades, especially if I want to get into a great college.

After half an hour, everyone was done with their test.

Okay, class, everyone is done with the test. Please get ready for the play said an excited Mr. Drake.

Everyone groaned a bit but got ready for the play. I'm not as excited as much, as I was at the beginning of the period, all thanks to Zander and Kristen.

* I began my introduction of the play *

"Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean."

A while into the play, I forgot everything about me all the bullying, the name-calling, my insecurities, my overweight, every single thing. I perform my heart out it's what I love to do as well as dancing and singing.

* Last scene of the play *

"In a desperate attempt to be reunited with Romeo, Juliet follows the Friar's plot and fakes her death. The message fails to reach Romeo, and believing Juliet dead, he takes his life in her tomb. Juliet wakes to find Romeo's corpse beside her and kills herself. The grieving family agrees to end their feud."

Finally, the play had come to an end, and there were only 20 minutes left, Mr. Drake told us that we could pack up and wait for the bell to ring.

I put my hand up in the air and asked Mr. Drake, can I please use the bathroom?

Yes, Lilliana, you can go to the bathroom. Take your bag with you if the bell rings for the next period, and you're not back yet said Mr. Drake.

Thanks, Mr. D enjoy your day.

Thank you, you too, about staying behind after class, can I see you after school? It's only going to take 5 minutes.

Uumm yes sir no problem. See you after school then.

Okay.

I went to my locker to put my books away and to get my books for the next class which is Spanish before going to the bathroom.

As I entered the bathroom it was empty, I sighed in relief, I went and did my business came out, and washed my hands.

I heard the door open with numerous footsteps and the lock of the door, I looked up and locked eyes with the last person that I want to see through the mirror, I took a big gulp, and gripped the basin with my hands.

There stands Kristen with her arms folded and a smug look on her face, and right behind her is her possy. I knew it was too good to be true they always seem to know when I'm in the bathroom it's so weird actually. I also knew from the look on her face that I was in big trouble and hopefully, they won't do any real damage.

Not so brave anymore are we chubby? asked Kristen with a wicked smile on her face.

Please just let me leave Kristen I didn't do anything wrong, I pleaded.

How stupid do you think I am?

I... I do...

Kristen walked closer and I felt my cheek burn. Stop stammering and answer my question you dumb slut.
