Romona and Juliet | WLW GXG

part I

JULIET
It's finally lunch time at school, so i go to look for my friends. We normally have a specific table we go to but i don't see them over there today.

"we're over here", shouts angel waving her hand from across the room.

"why are y'all over here" i ask angel

"our spot was taken by some new student"

i look over and see a tall light skinned girl sitting at our table with a few other people around her. We never really get new students at this school.

"you guys wanna place bets on what you think her reasoning for coming her was" whispers Zariah

"i bet she got expelled for fighting at her last school" says michael, who is angels boyfriend

"maybe she's a weirdo and actually likes something about this school" says angel

"take a picture so it'll last longer" says deangelo while he's tapping my shoulder. I then realize i had been staring at the new girl like she was a piece of steak.

She didn't look like anyone i'd ever seen. I've never left this town before so i've seen and i know just about everyone in it. She was definitely different from everyone else.

"a better bet would be if she's gay or not" says deangelo

"what makes you think shes gay" angel says while slapping his shoulder

"well let's test it out" deangelo says while standing up. "i'll go ask her out; if she's gay she'll say no but if she's straight she'll definitely say yes"

"and if she's smart she won't even look in your direction" says michael

"yeah it takes no brain cells to see that you wouldn't be a good choice for any sane person" zariah chimes in "plus don't you have a girlfriend"

Deangelo was an asshole and constantly flirted with anyone girl that would look in his direction. He even tried getting with me multiple times but i said no because he gives off call of duty boy vibes.

The only reason we kept him around was because he was Angel's younger brother. But even she didn't want him around.

I look up and Deangelo has one hand on the new girls shoulder and hes giving her the look he gives every girl that he's about to creep out.

I see her roll her eyes and turn around. Deangelo does a slight jog back to our table.

"yeah shes totally gay" he says "she wouldn't even tell me her name"

"or she has common sense" says angel

"fine then one of you go over there and talk to her" says deangelo with his arms crossed

"i'll go" i say while picking up my backpack

For some reason i really wanted to get to know this new girl even tho i'm not even sure if she's in our grade. But obviously she's got a tight head on her shoulders if she didn't even tell Deangelo her name.

I walk up to her table and tap her arm "hi my name is Juliet. Mind if i sit here?"

"go ahead" she replies "i was just about to leave anyway"

"wait" i say while grabbing her arm "you're new here right?"

"yeah. why?" she says with a confused look on her face

"well i just wanted to introduce myself and welcome you to our school" i reply "have a nice first day"

"thank you" she says while walking away. then she turns her head "my name is Romona by the way"

Her voice was kind of deep but not manly at the same time. Her eyes were hazel and she had a good sense of fashion, considering she was wearing our horrible school uniform which consisted of a light blue shirt and khaki pants. She had on a jacket and shoes that made the uniform look nice.

After she left i went back to the table with my friends

"At least i didn't run her off"says deangelo while teasing me

"i didn't run her off you idiot. i actually got her name and i don't think i can tell someone's sexuality just based off one encounter. My gaydar is horrible" i say

"i heard gaydar is something that only gay people have" says angel

"welp now we know deangelos secret" laughs michael

"if anyone here is gay it's you" deangelo retorts

"i'm literally dating your sister you idiot" says michael while face palming

in the midst of all their senseless arguing all i can think about is when i'll see Ramona again. She seems nice and this school can be horrible so it's good to have friends.

Hopefully we have classes together then i'll be able to talk to her more and hopefully show her around school.

My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of the bell ringing for us to get to our next class.

"bye losers" i say as i walk towards the exit.
