"Miss Shaw, you're late again. I told you to keep your track activities and studies sorted out. Gold medals won't get you an A Miss Shaw, keep this up and i may be forced to drop you from this course." Mr Bradley said"No you won't Mr Brad. I'm one of your best students.. " Brittney replied with a smile as she went to her seat.
Name : Brittney Shaw
Age : 20
Height: 5"7
Nationality : British
Occupation: Student
DOB: April 10I couldn't stop staring and fantasizing about her. I didn't realize I have stared that long till Mr Bradley calls my attention.
"Stilinski. Stilinski!!."
"Yes! I mean yeah, um yeah." I said as I snap back to reality.
"You can keep staring at Miss Shaw and continue with your day dreaming and end up with an F in reality." Mr Bradley said as the class bursts into laughter.
I look at her one last time and she glance back at me for a second, smiling. After class i rush out hoping to see more of her but she was no where to be found. I go to the car pack and sit with Mr Stanley talking about how my day went and waiting for Mr Stilinski to pick me up. Mr Stilinski arrives late and we get back even more late, I was really hungry so I join the Stilinskies for dinner, it was waffles and milk. After dinner I go to bed.
The next morning Mr Stilinski drives me and yeah I get late to class again.
"Stilinski!" Mr Bradley exclaimed.
"Sorry Mr Bradley, won't happen again." I replied.
Brittney was already in class, she stares at me till I get to my seat. As I sit, I feel a soft rubber deflate which makes a long embarrassing fart sound.
"Mr Stilinski. Would you excuse yourself next time." Mr Bradley said as the whole class laugh except for Brittney.
"Sorry, must be something I ate." I replied.
"I believe you all should be done with "A clean heart" and if you're not, You shouldn't be taking this course." Mr Bradley said as he itch his beard. " Can anyone explain to me who had a clean heart between Elena and Elizabeth?"
"Nobody?" Mr Bradley asked after a minute of waiting. "Miss Shaw."
"Uhhh my hand wasn't up." Brittney replied
"Yet I picked you."
Brittney sighs before answering. " Well I think Elena was a pussy."
The class laughs out loud. " Carry on." Mr Bradley said
"Elizabeth was strong enough to avoid heart breaks, she didn't rely on anyone and she certainly wasn't foolish enough to make the same mistake twice. Elena was the opposite, she made love too dramatic, I mean she kept getting heartbreaks and still allow herself to fall in love over and over again. Letting herself get abused and getting her heart dirty, so from my point of view Elizabeth was the one the book was titled after."
"Thank you Miss Shaw. Stilinski, let's hear you." Mr Bradley said
I clear my throat. " Elena wasn't a pussy, she had the strongest heart. It takes great strength to get heartbroken and still forgive and fall in love. Elizabeth was scared to love so she became cold and sealed her emotions because she couldn't bear the pain of heartbreak. She acted tough but deep down she always admired Elena for her strength. Love comes clean but leaves the heart dirty when it's gone till another love comes and cleans it up. The ability to clean the heart after getting it messed up is strength and that was Elena. She had the clean heart."
"Elizabeth had the strength to say no and be who she wanted, she wasn't anyone's lapdog or sex doll. Elizabeth was a fool for love, that's weakness." Brittney countered.
"Elena had the strength to love again after being abused, that's not weakness. Yes, she was a fool for love but she never lied about it. All Elizabeth ever did was hide in her shell and lie about her feelings, she never got over her last heartbreak and that made her cold, meaning she left her heart dirty and never tried cleaning it up. That's pathetic." I replied
"Pathetic!? She was raped and molested by her boyfriend and her best friend knew and lied about it and you call that pathetic??? She was right not to love or trust anyone and she was strong enough to hold her feelings and not whine and cry, instead she found strength." Brittney said.
"Elena was also a victim of rape but she forgave and moved on. She found light in the dark and understood not everyone is bad." I countered.
"Where did all that forgiving heart lead her to? Her death! If she wasn't such a pussy she'd have the strength to say no you doughe bag!" Brittney exclaimed
"Hmn hmn hmn, that's enough. Thank you both for your contribution, I'd love to see more of this kinda interaction in class. Ella, let's hear you."
"Elizabeth and Elena both had their own way of showing strength. Elena learnt how to embrace pain and the Elizabeth learnt how to avoid it, so I think they both had a clean heart.
"Thank you. I want you all to write on this explaining how you'd deal with heartbreak and trauma. Five pages, I want them on my desk on Monday. The top five with the best write up gets a boost, class dismissed." Mr Bradley said.
