Romona and Juliet | WLW GXG

Part II

After lunch I go to biology which is pretty boring for the most part. My friend Zariah keeps me company though.

This is Zariah's second year in 12th grade because between me and you shes not the brightest. But she's funny so maybe she'll make it as a comedian cause she's definitely not going to college.

"ready to give me all the answers" says zariah while putting down her backpack "you should already know i didn't do the homework last night"

"of course you didn't which is why you'll be right here again next year"

"how dare you" she says while playfully pushing me "hey isn't that the new girl that was at lunch"

I look at the front of the class and see Romana talking to the teacher. The teacher proceeded to point to a table next to the table me and Zariah were at.

"you think she has any friends yet" whispers Zariah

"probably not since it's her first day and the people at this school are stupid" i reply "the only way you can even get friends is if you grew up in this town because everyone kind of stays to their own groups"

"Today we will be working in groups" announced the teacher "i want 4 people in each group to prepare for the science fair"

"wanna grab the new student before someone else gets her?" ask zariah

"yeah but let me go over there and ask her" i reply "your weirdness might scare her away"

I get up and walk over to Romona ready to ask her if she wants to join us for the project. i mean she kinda has no choice because we're required to have a group

i get up and walk over to the table she's sitting at alone. "hey do you wanna join our group" i ask

"you sure?" she says while pointing. i look over and see Zariah hitting some random kid who was cowering in a corner.

i smiled awkwardly at romona "i'm sure he probably deserves it"

"so do you guys already have a plan for the project?"

"not yet but i figured we can hang out after school to discuss it further"

"alright then i'll give you my instagram and you can text me about the project on there"

"deal" i offer my hand for her to shake and she returns the gesture.

"leave him alone you idiot" i yell as i walk towards zariah, who is still hitting that poor innocent boy.
