What if I could be Mrs Darcy?

"What are you waiting for?" I whispered while I copied the integrals Mr Morris had put on the board

"I'm not sure that's all, what if it turns out wrong?" whispered back Alec

Math classes were the best opportunity to gossip. It didn't require too much attention from my part and everyone was too concentrated to earsdrop

"What if it doesn't? And what if it does?" I added "You can't know beforehead what's going to happen. If not life would be too easy" before he could interrupt I kept going "You're 18. Relax, it's not the end of the world if you have to take a step back, I think you're mature enough to know when something is working or not and not to hurt your partner. Enjoy your life, make mistakes. That'll take you closer to meeting the one" Out of breath I looked at him encouragly. It was not the best speech, but I hoped he got the concept

"Sometimes I forget you're my age" he said laughing "This is not going to be a mistake"

"Then get a pair and ask her out"

"Why can't she do it? I don't understand society standards, men don't have to do everything you know" he said offended

If I had to choose between my friends who was the most rebellious against society I would have to say it was him

"I know it's not, but she's very shy you know that, just give her a little push, that's all"

"If I ask Charlie out will you kiss John?"

"Alec, Elizabeth could you shut up? Or do you want to go to the principal's office to continue your conversation?"

We stopped talking, I wrote on a post-it and glued it on Alec's notes

"I WILL :)"

Bob shared a cookie with me as she said "Don't you notice? It's more brown than ever. I hate it".

"It's perfect so stop complaining so much and eat".

I said as I took the cookie she was offering me. There is something unfair in this world and that is that some people are allowed to eat whatever they want and still be the thinnest in the room, like Bob, and others who have to control everything they eat, like me.

"A moment on the lips forever on the hips they say" I turned around and a smiley face greeted me.

"Could you shut up Alec?".

"Why are you looking at me like that? Yohooo Liz".

"I'm sorry, was I staring?"

I had been looking at Alec dreaming about his wedding with Charlie and how their baby's would look like.

Would they make me maid of honor?

Would the children be as rude as their parents?

Do you think they would name one after me?

"LIZ! You're doing it again!" This time it was Charlie

"I'll tell you later" I said as I draw a heart around them.

Finally the last hour, we all looked at the clock waiting for the bell to ring and it didn't dissapoint us, It rang!!

Everyone went crazy and a hoard of children invaded the small corridors. Slowly I packed my things and waited for my friends, the last ones to go out, as always.

I headed into the corridor and I felt something come over me. I screamed and I heard

"I know I'm ugly but you don't have to scream"
