Social Casualty:Chapter 5
-------------------------------------

I took a deep breath. Then frowned. Then took another breath, still frowning.

At this point, I would've looked like a fish high on crack.

"Ms. Jensen?"

The person before me wasn't the male teacher that tried his hardest not to laugh in our faces every now and then, but instead was replaced by a gorgeous face.

Romeo.

But too quickly, his face was morphed into James. What's going on here?

"Ms. Jensen?" The deep voice ranged out again, nearly snapping me out of my trance. Nearly.

James grinned shyly down at me, before reaching out a hand for me to take. Like always, I'm always stuck in his trance and gaze. His plumped lips parted, ready to say something, but all that came out was-

"Ms. Jensen!" I leaped up at the loud feminine voice, nearly knocking myself out of the chair beneath me. My frantic gaze looked around the room, spotting people laughing underneath their breaths, some not even bothering to hide the fact. One of those people being Romeo himself. My eyes soon lock with a confused Miss Tan, who was giving me a what-hell-is-up-with-you look. "Juliet, are you ok?"

"Yeah, yeah. Sorry, just kind of spaced out for a second." I heard a snort come from behind, knowing it wasn't Romeo, I didn't bother to turn around.

"For a second?" Patrick snorted again. "More like for half an hour. Am I right Miss Tan?" He sent a flirtatious wink at her. But the response he was hoping for didn't get returned.

"Shut up Pat." She rolled her eyes, smirking as a quiet giggle left my mouth. "Don't worry, Juliet. I was just worried. Actually, we were all worried. Isn't that right class?"

Groans came from left and right. Then a voice spoke up.

"Oh yes, we were very worried." My eyes traveled over my shoulder, narrowing as they stared back at the bad boy's blank face. "Including me." The tip of his tongue poked out, before slowly swiping his bottom lip. "Wouldn't want anything happening to you, now would we?" He raised a brow.

"I didn't know you cared." At first, I thought it was me, accidentally saying what was on my mind, but when no eyes turned to me, I quickly glanced at the only person that would probably stand up for me. "Because, well to be honest, you don't do a very good job at showing it." James smirked. "Isn't that right, Juliet?"

Now all eyes were on me again. Fuck.

"Um..." I quickly nodded, not being able to find any words due to being under Romeo's glare. "Yeah. I agree."

"Oh, do you really?" He sneered, eyeing me. He was about to say something else, when Miss Tan cut him off.

"Jesus Christ! Can all of you shut up?!" She frustratedly ran a hand through her dirty blonde hair. "You guys can be a pain in the ass, you know that? Shit...I'm not suppose to fuckin cuss. Fuck!" She closed her eyes taking a deep breath. Slowly reopening her eyes, she gazed at each and everyone of us. "How about we all take a nap?" Her voice higher than usual. "Because that's something we all fuckin need right now." She sighed, letting her head fall onto her desk. "You can leave when the bell rings. I'm done here."

Poor Miss Tan.

"Hey, *psst*, Juliet." My head whipped around to see James's bright smile. "How ya doin?" He said in his best Joey voice. Not bad pretty boy.

"Good." I shyly looked down at my fumbling hands.

"You all set for after school? I can just drive you." He offered.
