The following weeks have flown by at school and the students at Naples High were eager for homecoming week. October is a classic high school theme.
The week of was always a 4-day week and that only adds to the excitement. The start of the week is a time of decades day Tuesday and the classes all have different eras to coordinate with. Seniors always had the coolest of the eras as they get the 90's. Juniors were 80's, Sophomores were 70's, and lastly, Freshman was the 60's era.
Wednesdays are character week and Chelsea made a habit of always dressing up as Lisa Simpson and Phoebe wore Tina Belcher from Bob's Burgers.
Chelsea's personal favorite of the days was Thursday. It was Greek and Goddess days. Each class dressed up in togas and their crowns. Inevitably there is the one boy whose mom didn't pin his toga just right and he thinks going nude under it is a rite of passage and flashes half of the school in the lunchroom.
Friday is school spirit day, the entire school screams raider pride with glitter blue and gold. All in preparation for Friday's football game.
Chelsea was in her AP French class wearing her school merch with matching blue and gold makeup and her hair was up in a ponytail. Today, there was going to be a pep-rally and she was quite excited about that.
Chelsea has been talking with Asher lately, he had given his number on i********: ever since the party. Asher is quite the perfection of what Chelsea expected. Funny and Charming loves talking about tv and movies, and also is a big Marvel geek. His favorite superhero is Thor.
''Right now, I'm going to pair you guys in the class so we can do our weekly interaction assignment,'' said Mr.Pierre.
He went around the class paring everyone in two and went on to pair Theo with Chelsea together. Theo let out a small smirk, he knew this was going to be fun while Chelsea closed her eyes in disappointment.
She didn't want to deal with him, not at the moment. She already is trying to keep her head somewhere else, somewhere not near him. Even though, deep down it gives her butterflies in her stomach she tries to fight it off.
''Okay, students, you may begin, remember you only have thirty minutes in our class,'' Mr.Pierre said, sliding his roller chair back to his desk. Chelsea didn't have to move a muscle, Theo dropped his belongings on her desk and place the chair right in front of him.
''Bonjour [ Good Morning ],'' Theo said, raking his fingers through his hair.
''Bonjour,'' Chelsea replied, in a dry tone.
He grinned and shrugged his broad shoulders, which glistened with sweat under his gray tank top.
''Nom? [ Name?],'' Theo continued.
"What?" I turned my head to look at him with raised eyebrows.
"My name... is Chelsea." He leaned his head over towards me and spoke softly, "This is the part where you tell me your name."
''Right, my name is Chelsea.''
''Looks like you got a lot in your mind.''
''No, not really.''
Chelsea smiled, she couldn't help it. The guy was gorgeous, funny, a little goofy, and he was talking to her. Her phone buzzed twice and she looked over to see who it was. She realized that it was Asher, he had sent her a funny meme from fuckjerry i********: account.
She chortled.
Theo didn't. He tightened his jaw. Theo couldn't believe a guy like Asher was with someone like Chelsea. He knew Chelsea deserved better, he doesn't believe that Asher would treat her well. Something told him that this guy was bad news. He couldn't put his finger on it.
''Boyfriend seems nice,'' he murmured.
''He's not my boyfriend,'' Chelsea responds. ''We're just friends.''
''Don't want to ruin your parade but be careful with him.''
'''Why?'' She questioned, giving Theo a hard look. Chelsea didn't understand why would he be so worried about Asher all of the sudden. Was it jealousy? Was he really that protective?
''I'm just saying.''
Chelsea's brows moved closer in confusion. ''Just saying?'' She questioned him again.
''Yeah, Chels. Just saying.''
Chels. That was the first time that Theo her nickname. Chelsea had goosebumps on her arm and she cleared her throat, feeling nervous after the mini chat about Asher.
She was confused and overthought about her emotions towards Theo.
She felt split.
