"I was a candle and he was my match. I couldn't live without him, but we could never survive together.

That is the hidden message behind Romeo and Juliet's relationship"

"Thank you Jules for that interesting interpretation" Ms Gattons glared at me. Her look said it all. Uggh... This is what I get for going last. Just a few more seconds and then I'm done. Come on, come on.
3...2...1... RING!
Oh thank God! I grabbed my bag, my blazer flapping behind me. My hands dodged table edges like nunchucks, my tie sliced through the air faster than light. Just as my foot reached the door, She said the dreaded words:
"Jules can I see you after class?"

I swear, the audacity of this woman drives me crazy. 

3:35PM.

At least that's what it felt like. No one was even here, not even my detention-addicted bestie. I mean the one day I'm in detention they're not here? Seriously Bruce, seriously! Here comes her exaltedness waltzing down the classroom like she's on the red carpet. Ms' heels were so thin they looked like they were about to snap any minute. I glanced at the shoes nervously.
"Jules may I see you in my office please."
Shyly, I nodded. My heels scraped the marble floor; the curls in my hair bounced anxiously from side to side. Each step heavier than the last. Soon the gold framed, oak door made its sickly appearance.

Three knocks.

A bushy haired boy opened the door. I scanned the room for Ms Gattons but there was no sight of her.                                                                                                                                                                                      "Ermm, where-

A large figure loomed over me and a ghastly smell began to invade my systems.

"Ah. I see you two have already met."Ms Gattons interrupted. 

 I nodded my head immediately, battling the overwhelming waves of coffee breath. It suffocated me keeping a tight grip, holding myself victim to its sinister smell. With each word, every breath in and out the horrid stench only grew stronger. I had to hold my breath to stop me from gagging but even that was failing me.

I jumped forward hurtling towards him. He clasped my hands gripping them tightly, as my chest leaned towards his. My feet struggled to hold on to the slippery floor as I reached my tippy toes. Our faces grew closer like there was a magnet drawing us in. His curly hazel fringe swept his face as I took a closer look. They appeared gentle and seemed as fascinated with me as I was with them. When we locked eyes it felt like that moment could last forever, just us in that moment. That's all there ever was. Abruptly, I stumbled and they pushed me back on my feet. As Ms Gattons continued to speak all I could focus on was them. I smiled and mouthed thank you to th. Seems like they appreciated it as he told me your welcome back. They replied with a sly grin. It felt like I could live forever in that moment.

"So that should sum up everything." Ms Gattons interrupted yet again.
"Tuition starts Tuesday next week."
"Wait, tuition?!"
"Yes, Jules. Tuition, or did you not listen to what I said?" Ms Gattons scowled. Her eyes were so agonizing that one look and it pierced you. An intense stabbing, throbbing wherever you went it never went away. Dozens of students had dared, none came back the same. From that point on I knew I was treading on thin ice.
"Oh yes! Erm..Tuition. Don't worry you gotcha I'll be there!" I said shaikly.
"Remember, room 425."
Hurriedly, I speed walked my way out the awkward conversation waving goodbye. All hopes of meeting my Prince Charming gone.

Perhaps I will see you again...
