Size Matters

Chapter 2- Two years later

Two years later

There I stood, elegant as can be atop of a long ivory stairwell. I was wearing a long sparkly white dress and my hair was flowing in the wind. Soon a bright light elevated from the bottom of the stairs. From the light came, a beautiful man. He was handsome and tall and also muscular, and tall and even well groomed, oh and did I mention tall?!. He walks up the stairs and grabs my hand pulling me closer closer closer and...

BAM!! My dream is shattered when I feel a hard kick on my chair. I groan and look up at the person who had awoken me.

"Why the hell did you do that?!?!" I whisper-shouted at the short guy next to me, who I hate. We have hated each other since school started and doing this proves it. His name was Justin.

"Your loud-ass snoring was disturbing the class!!'" Justin whisper-shouts back.

I roll my eyes.

"Oh well deal with it munchkin!" I say resting my head back down.

"Why don't you get sleep at home beanstalk?!?" He shouts back.

"Ebony and Justin!! Are you two done disturbing my class for the fifth time...today?!?" Mr Landin, our history teacher says glaring at us. You see Justin and I have like this reputation in school. We are pretty much a comedy duo. Short guy- Tall girl reality show. Its really annoying.

"He/She started this!!" We yelled at the same time, pointing at each other.

"I don't want to hear it just be quiet while in my classroom!" He ends with that and turns back to the board, continuing from where he left off.

Justin and I shoot each other death glares before getting back to our work.

Damn that midget for ruining my blissful dream! Ever since that dreadful day I got rejected for my height I have always disliked short dudes.

My thoughts are interrupted when the new guy comes in class. He's only been here a few days.

Oh my gosh he's so handsome!!

He had light brown hair and dreamy blue eyes. He wore black glasses which probably meant he was smart. He looked like the smart type. Oh and did I mention that he was tall? One of the tallest in the class. I think his name is Luther.

I hope he sits next to me today.

Instead he decides to sit way in the back.

I pout sadly and sigh, resting my chin in my hand.

I'm totally oblivious to what is going on and as soon as he passes I catch Justin evilly smirking at me.

"What's that dumb look for?" I ask him quietly making sure Mr.Landin doesn't hear me.

"Oh I should be asking you the same question." He says, still with that cocky grin on his face.

Before I can respond he says "I see you got googly eyes for the new guy".

My eyes widen and my face flushes red as I look away. Did he see me staring at him the whole time?? Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!!

"What are you talking about?" I try to sound completely confused but I didn't do a very good job of it.

"You were practically gawking at him." He says matter of factly. That may be true but he had no right to be in my business.

"So what if I was?" I challenge him.

"If you say you were I'll tell the whole class. If you say you weren't... I'll still tell the whole class." He says with that stupid smirk on his stupid face.

I gasp "You wouldn't dare!" I mentally start to panic and proceed to threaten him.

"You little gremlin.I swear if you do then Ill-"

"I would." He says, interrupting me. He stares at his desk and I notice his mood suddenly shift.

"Under one condition" He says and I stare at him, totally confused now.

"Uhh..okay, what is it?" I say clearly not understanding.

"Set me up with your friend over there" He finally says pointing across the room. I follow his arm to who hes referring to and when I see who it is my mouth drops open in shock.

Jenny?! Justin likes Jenny!? I can't believe it. This evil, mischievous, conniving, idiot wants to date my friend? Shy, kind, good-natured Jenny? Wow just....wow.

"No way, You like Jenny?!" I ask him completely in awe and he looks at me like I'm stupid.

"What?...She's cute." Justin says and well I can't disagree with that. Jenny had that nice shy cute girl vibe that she gave to everyone. Plus she was also short like him. However Justin is mean and ruthless...How will that work?

"Sooo....yes or no?" Justin asked and I was so lost in my thoughts that I wasn't listening but I started to contemplate this .Why the hell should I do him favors?

"Why should I do that for you?" I asked, saying exactly what I thought.

He rolls his eyes and explains "Because smart-one if you set me up with her I'll make friends with that Luther guy and set him up with you " He muttered.

Wow! That was not a bad idea at all. But I still had to be cautious.

"Why should I trust you?" I asked narrowing my eyes at him. He rolled his eyes again.

"If I don't help you...then you can tell everyone in class that I like her." He said while holding out his hand and I stared down at it, hesitating.

I didn't wanna trust him but, if he was really willing to help me then...

"Fine. We will help each other." I said, giving his hand a quick shake without looking directly at him and finally thinking in my head.

This will be interesting.
