Jacqueline had just closed the trunk where she had gotten her bag from when suddenly, there was a pair of hands over her eyes, but she knew exactly who it was. The deep voice from behind her spoke, "Guess who?"
"George Michael?" Jacqueline teased. Billy rolled his eyes and moved his hands. As Jacqueline turned to face him, he said sarcastically, "Ha, ha. Very funny."
Jacqueline smiled at his attitude. It had been two week since Jacqueline and Billy met. It had been going really well. Billy knew about all the rumours and what people say about Jacqueline since she wanted to break the news to him before someone like Tommy or Carol told him and over exaggerated her trauma. They were supposed to hang out yesterday, but Jacqueline promised Steve she'd help with Steve's college application essays. Billy didn't exactly like the sound of 'Steve,' but he wouldn't say that to Jacqueline's face.
"You know, you do have an earring like him and your hair is the same. You do actually look a little like George Michael." Jacqueline continued to tease Billy, who was fighting off his smile for his life. "You're lucky you're pretty."
Billy put an arm around her shoulders as they began to walk towards the school. Jacqueline was aware that half the people staring at them were gawking at Billy and the other half were judging Billy for being with Jacqueline. She did notice it a lot and it was bugging her, but she was lucky that Billy genuinely cared about her and liked being seen with her.
Tommy, who had passed them in the parking lot, felt the need to call out to Jacqueline, "Hey, Scarface! You fall into a paper shredder?!"
Billy just about stepped away from Jacqueline so he could beat Tommy to a pulp, but Jacqueline grabbed his hand and pulled him back. She forced him to keep walking and Billy just shot her a look, prepared to defend her honour. "Just leave it, Billy."
