Chapter 7 - My Shakespeare Partner

HEYYY :) LIKING THE STORY SO FAR? HOPE IT IS NOT BORING. MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO WRITE SO FORGIVE ME PLEASE :) WOULD LOVE SOME FEEDBACKS :) xx

-Chapter 7-

"Ms Dime? You will be pairing up with Mr Brannon." Mrs Rowan was pairing everyone for our Shakespeare assignment in acting class. Some were happy with it and some were not. My name was not called yet and I was praying it would be someone who could act really well. I needed an 'A' for this assignment.

"I am paired with James again." Evelyn groaned. "Wonder who would be yours." she said to me and I shrugged.

"Ms Evans." the teacher said my name and my heart was pounding up my throat. It was my turn. "You would be paired up with..." she left the sentence hanging in the air to check the list on her desk. I couldn't wait to hear who I was paired up with.

I need an A.

I need an A.

I need an A.

"Your partner is our dear Mr Johnson." she finally said. What? Johnson? Which Johnson? My palms were a little sweaty.

Not Kyle Johnson please. Please let it be Tony Johnson.

I was praying really hard.

"Mrs Rowan, may I know which Johnson am I paired up with?" I stood up and asked. The teacher laughed and said "Right, Mr Tony Johnson. I keep forgetting that there are twins in my class." after she said the word Tony, I didn't hear any other words continuing after that. Feeling so relieved, I smiled happily. Tony was quite a decent actor and I could guarantee the 'A' in my hands for this assignment.

"Oh I am so sorry. Ms Evans, you are suppose to be paired up with Kyle Johnson. My mistake." my heart dropped when I heard this. I sighed and used my hands to cup my face. I didn't want to look at the world for a while.

"Is there a problem Ms Evans?" Mrs Rowan asked me. Yes. There is a huge problem. I don't want to be paired up with this Johnson because he kissed me without permission and told me 'he loves me'. I don't know weather to believe him or not because he is a playboy. I know I am probably naive but my heart beats at a really fast pace when I am with him alone. I don't know whether I like him or not and I don't want to. I don't want it to happen again.

My mind was spinning with questions and thoughts of him and what he said. Why were they getting to me? No idea.

"No problem at all." I replied her.

"Sit with your pairs and start working on the assignment then." she said and everyone moved around to sit with their partners. For me, I didn't move an inch. I was waiting for him to come and sit with me.

"Hiya partner." he took a chair from somewhere and sat beside me. I ignored him and started playing with my fingers.

"Okay... Which part do you think we should do?" he asked. Not the part where he dies, because I would have to kiss him. I bet he would love that part. Hmm... the part where Romeo went to look for her would be good or when they met.

"The part where they met." I told him flatly.

"Okay, you want to work this at yours or mine?" he asked me, grinning from ear to ear. I was very sure that he was happy because I was working with him. "Do you want to do it today after school? I am free."

"Um.. I can't. I have got plans." his smile turned upside down when I said this. Before he could say something, the bell rang and I left him there.

"Ashley Johnson Evans? Is that really you?" Mr Tennant was surprised that I was standing right in front of him. I nodded happily and pulled him into a hug. He was the only teacher I was very close with and we were practically good friends. Being the youngest teacher here, he got along with everyone of his students. Not to boast but I was his favourite once too.
