chapter 44: reno already makes an enemy

~reno~

       "Do you think I'll get in trouble if I join your first period class?" Weisz asks as we're driving in my car to go to our new school. We thought it would be a lot easier to just carpool instead of wasting both of our cars' gas.

       That, and it gives me an opportunity to tease Weisz even more about my car.

       I furrow my eyebrows. "First off, yes, you probably would. And second, why would you want to come to my first period class? Please don't give me a cheesy answer like you'll miss me."

       "Yes, but that's not the reason," Weisz says. "It's because your first period is a music class." He gestures to my guitar sitting in the backseat. "You'll get to play that and I won't even get to watch. Not to mention everyone in your class gets to watch you play it. I'll be extremely jealous."

       "Oh, what a shame."

       "Yes, it is a shame."

       I just smile at Weisz before I pull my car into the parking lot of East Vista Secondary School. I find an empty parking space and pull into it before turning off my car. Weisz and I get out of the car, grabbing our bags and my guitar case.

       The two of us head into the school, first finding our lockers. Weisz's old one has already been taken when he was at Waterfalls, so he's going to have to get used to having a different locker. Unfortunately, our lockers aren't too closer to each other. I didn't expect them to be, anyway. 

       We don't have much time to find our lockers and for Weisz to show me where all my classes are, so he only shows me where my second class is. Once the first bell rings, he leads me to my music class. "So... You think you'll be okay remembering where your second class is?" Weisz asks.

       "Yes, Dad," I say.

       "Oh, so you have a daddy kink?"

       I stare at Weisz for a bit. "I know you're trying to get back at me for saying you have a leather jacket fantasy, but you know that's not going to work, right? I can easily prove you wrong, but you..." I tap his chest. "You blush at the mere mention of me in a leather jacket. In nothing but a leather jacker."

       Like I suspected, Weisz's face immediately begins redden. "I'm going to get you back one day."

       I tap his cheek. "Sure. You should go to class now."

       "Fine, fine." Weisz gives me a quick kiss. "I'll see you at lunch."

       Weisz walks off to go to his class, so I walk into the music room. Only a few students are already in here, playing their instrument of choice. I find a seat in the back since I like being away from everyone.

       I set my guitar's case beside me on the ground before I take out the guitar. Since everyone else is already playing their instrument as we wait for class to start, I start strumming away on my guitar to pass time.

       Unfortunately, I'm soon interrupted when someone stands beside me and says, "You're new to the school, aren't you?"

       I stop strumming and look up, seeing none other than my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. I try my best not to glare at her. Sure, I don't personally know her, but the fact that she never visited Weisz in the hospital and cheated on him while he was going through chemotherapy was enough for me to not be fond of her.

       "Uh huh," is all I say before I turn my focus back on my guitar.

       Marie doesn't seem to take the hint that I don't want to talk to her. Then again, she might just see me as a reclusive new student since she doesn't know I'm her ex's boyfriend. "I'm Marie. Where are you from?"
