CH. 6 Taking Shit From No One.
I ran my fingers through my hair as I headed through the hallways. I made my way to my locker first throwing in all my books and unwanteds. I made my way towards the canteen where lunch will be served.
Might as well get it early before all the bulldozers come.
I made my way inside the lunchroom and straight to the empty lines. I grabbed myself some French fries, a soda and some chips. I grabbed about two packets of ketchup before making my way to the lunch table where Chloe and her followers usually sit.
I don't feel like eating outside today besides I think todays a perfect day to put that bitch Chloe into place. Besides I already know she's going to say something considering she will actually see me this lunch. So, I might as well. I popped a fry in my mouth as I leaned back into the seat awaiting the bell that summoned miss bitch to the cafeteria.
I watched as a few students entered the lunch area, some sitting down other just having conversations against walls or in the middle of the room. Soon the bell rung and even more students poured in. I kept eating my French fries as I remained on the lookout for Chloe.
My lips tilted into a smirk as I spotted her and her posse headed towards the table. I took a sip of my soda as I watched her come closer with a fierce glare. Her pink skirt was flouncing in all directions. Once she stood in front of the table she slammed her tray down.
"Who the hell are you? And why the hell are you sitting at MY table?" She yelled causing everyone's attention to be on us. My eyes roamed over the table as if I were searching for something. To make it even better, I stood up and looked under the table and the seat of the chair. After not 'finding' what I was looking for, I sat down and gave her an innocent look.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't see your name on this table anywhere." I said as a slow grin sprouted through my lips.
"Who the hell are you?!" She roared. I chuckled before crossing my hands on the table.
"Don't you remember Chloe? I'm Elle Capulet. You know me? I mean you've only bullied me since the beginning of high school. Ha! How could you forget me?" I asked in an overly friendly sarcastic tone. She eyeballed me before her eyes widened.
"No. Way." She mutters and I chuckled dryly.
"Oh yes way, sweetheart." I smirked, she was about to speak before I cut her off.
"Now listen here. From now on, I take shit from no one. Especially not some slut who thinks that just because you have money and looks that you will be bowed down to as if you were royalty. Ha! Think again Miss Prince. Life doesn't and will never work like that. So a suggestion to you would be to take that 'I am better than everyone and anyone' attitude and shove it up your worthless ass. Because if I have to have anything other than cordial words with you, I will be replacing that attitude with my foot. Got that?" I said to her with a venomously serious tone. So grave it had everyone letting out gasps. Then I stood up taking my drink with me.
"Have a great day, hon." I winked before blowing a kiss in her direction as I walked out the cafeteria leaving her standing there looking more stupid than she already made herself look.
Words cannot express how I feel right now. This exhilaration. This confidence. I have never felt more alive than I feel right now. This is a new me. And I love it. I downed my drink before tossing it into the trash can. I pulled the strap on my shoulder a bit tighter before walking outside. I smiled at the openness and breath of fresh air it awaited me with.
I began walking towards my usual bench when I heard a familiar voice. "Hey! ELLE!" I heard a voice call. I scrunched up my face before turning around. I saw Romeo- I mean Reece standing at the school entrance. Once he spotted me he smirked and walked towards me.
And all that confidence I had just mustered has now disappeared into thin air, and I think my lungs did too because boy does he take my breath away. I felt my body get all tingly as he stood before me. His smirk now turning into an amused grin.
"So you really are Elle Capulet?" Reece stated as his eyes brushed over me.
"In the flesh." I answered back before sitting down at the bench. Surprisingly he didn't run away in terror instead he sat beside me and chuckled. "So, Juliet, do you plan on calling me?" He asked with a smile on his face. I rose my eyebrows at him in confusion.
"You know who I am yet you still want me to call you?" I asked in bewilderment.
"Well for starters, I actually don't know who you are, I just know your name so...yeah, but I'd like for you to call me and then maybe we could go on a date, if you want of course." Reece emphasized with an amused smile on his face. The feeling of more fluttering butterflies became imminent in my stomach as I looked into his gorgeous orbs. His eyes held nothing but sincerity.
What in the actual hell is going on?
Is this real life?
"I'm just letting you know now, that if you reject me. I won't stop until I get my yes." He said smirking, but you could definitely see the wariness in his eyes. With that I shook my head and sat up straight, but because of our closeness it caused me to bump heads with him. My hand flew to my head as I held my throbbing forehead.
"Owww." Reece and I both groaned simultaneously.
"I'm sorry-I-I I didn't mean to. I-I'm just such a-,"
Reece chuckled causing me to stop talking. "Its fine, Juliet. So is that a yes?"
"I-I-I uh I um y-y-yeah. Yes." I stuttered nervously causing him to chuckle. "You're cute when you stutter, but sexy when you're pissed." He stated as if it were just a normal conversation and it probably was...for him. But to me this was the best day of my entire life. REECE MONTAGUE WAS TALKING TO ME! IN PUBLIC! I AM SO HAPPY!
But calm and collected on the outside...possibly. If consider fidgeting and a trembling leg, calm and collected.
