I walked to the lunch room feeling guilty about what happened with Sean. I never even thanked him for saving my life.
My guilt was soon forgotten when I got to the lunch table where all my friends sit and I am flooded with questions from Natalie and my other friends who Natalie must have blabbed to.
"So." She elbowed me. "How was it?"
I rolled my eyes "How was what?"
She giggled. "You know."
"Natalie what are you talking about?" I snapped.
"Sean is really hot!" She squealed.
I shrugged my shoulders in reply. "Eh I guess."
"You are kidding me right he is a sex god!" My friend Jess who was sitting across from me swooned.
"Is he? I didn't really notice." I lied. I noticed that Sean wasn't just out of place because of his clothes and untamed hair he was definitely the most attractive guy in the school. This is part of the reason I already labeled him as a heartbreaker.
Jess's eyes bulged out of her head. "Are you blind?"
"You know, looks aren't all that matter." I replied smiling to myself.
Tessa who was sitting next to Natalie spoke up. "If you won't take him I will."
"Be my guest." I was getting annoyed. Why does everyone think he's such a catch. Oh yeah. They haven't actually talked to him! Besides I have a crush on somebody else.
I turned my head to the table behind me to see Dallas Richards talking to his friends. He is a basketball star and setting records for the school's team. He was already offered full rides to great colleges and is the talk of the school...or...was until Sean showed up this morning.
That's exactly who Dallas was talking about. I could hear the mockery in his voice as he rambled on to his friends
Jealous, was the first word that came to my mind and I wanted to smack myself to get the thought out if my mind.
"But seriously you are going to make a move, right?" Natalie tapped my shoulder.
"Don't be ridiculous." I laughed. "Why don't you! You couldn't take your eyes off him!"
She blushed as everyone at the table laughed. "Maybe I will." She smiled to herself and dug a fork into her salad.
As much as I was tired of hearing about Sean I found myself looking around the cafeteria to see if he decided to show up.
The bell rang and everyone jumped up at once dashing to their classes. My friends and I soon went separate ways but I didn't care. I am tired of hearing his name in every conversation and they seemed to not able to let him go.
I got to E period Literature and sat down in my seat while everyone else stood and talked until Mrs. Taylor walked in and told everyone to sit down. I slumped down in my seat like always already watching the clock to see when the class would end.
"So Michelle, would you like to summarize scene one of Romeo and Juliet for the class?" Mrs. Taylor spoke sweetly to hide the fact that she knew I didn't read. Why me?
"Um." Right as I'm about to guess at the entire first scene Sean walked in the classroom.
"Sorry. I got lost." His eyes found mine right away as if he were blaming me for his late appearance. I got a pang of guilt in my stomach and swallowed hard. He saved me again.
"Oh don't worry about it!" Mrs. Taylor put her arm around his shoulders and pulled him into the classroom. His eyes widened, surprised at her friendliness. "You can sit...there." She pointed to the desk next to mine.
Wow this day couldn't get any worse. I huffed. At least she forgot about asking me to summarize the first scene.
The class looked in awe at the new student and I could see nervous written all over Sean's face. I couldn't believe how insensitive the class was being. I felt even worse now. I would hate to have to be a new student showing up half way through the year.
"Sean we were talking about the first scene in Romeo and Juliet. Are you familiar with it?" She asked batting her eyes at him. I wanted to throw up. Even a 40 year old woman was swooning over this guy. I couldn't believe it.
"A little." He smirked at her and she practically melted in feels.
"That's great." She sounded like she was having trouble breathing. I couldn't help roll my eyes in disgust. Give me a break. The worst part was it wasn't just her some of the other girls in the class were giggling and whispering to eachother. Sean smiled nervously at all his attention. He looked at me and shrugged.
I narrowed my eyes and pursed my lips. He was acting so innocent it was making me furious. If only they knew him.
"Well, in the first scene...." I drowned her out in my own thoughts after that. I crossed my arms over my chest and huffed. Why did he have to sit right next me? If Mrs. Taylor wanted me to pay attention more she made a mistake when she asked Sean to sit next to me.
Sean looked intrigued with her words. Or maybe he was just pretending. How was he even in an honors Lit class?
He looked over at me and gave me his signature smirk.
Shit, He caught me staring. I gave him a look of disgust then turned back to the front of the room trying to forget about his beautiful smile.
