City of Misfortune

Chapter 16 Tamara

The pain was unbearable, it was like one major cramp that was all over my body. Alli was all confused, but I couldn't tell her. It just felt like I should keep a secret about me. She tried calling for help, but I made her not to. It would last for 10 minutes then stop for 5. I didn't know how to stop it, I was starting to get used to it until it got more intense. It was now the last hour of school, Alli became more nervous for me. Tony and Noah was in this class as well. Poetry just what I needed. To make it worse we had to be put into partners, of course they wouldn't put me with Alli, my partner was Noah.

Our lesson today was Shakespeare's famous Romeo and Juliet, talk about typical. Our assignment was to act out a scene in the modern day. How perfect, I feel like I'm on fire and I have to act. Fun! Our scene was the last one, when Romeo finds Juliet asleep thinking she was dead. Noah didn't want to practice which was fine by me, it wasn't my grade. He decided to talk to Tony the whole time, I relaxed and laid my head on my desk.

"So you haven't made contact with him at all," Tony whispered to Noah.

"No, I don't know where Jasper's dumbass is at. Dads not going to like this, I can't keep covering for him," Noah whispered back.

They were across the room, but I could hear them as clear as day. I didn't want to invade their privacy, but this was different, seeing as I know where Jasper is at.

"Damn. We went back to check those tunnels , all we found was his chip cut out and smashed. Have you tried tracing his phone yet?"

"I had Mark try. He'd get close to finding his location then when he got it, his computer crashes and deletes everything on there. He said he's not helping us no more."

"We'll just have to tell dad he's gone," Tony said annoyed, getting up to go do his scene.

Noah came back over, he didn't say much to me after lunch. When I really looked at him, he looked like a nice preppy school boy. He dressed in beige cargos, a white button up long sleeve shirt, with dark brown Toms. His blonde hair was combed back in the way that he knew he was too good for you. The thing that caught me the most was his dark stormy eyes, that was the only thing that made him look crazy. If you weren't looking at them for a little bit you would think they were all black.

Noah was so much different then Tony. Tony dressed up like a major bad boy, black ripped jeans, white v neck, black aviator jacket, and red dr. Martens. He had black disheveled hair and light gray eyes, that was the only thing that made him less scary. The two resembled each other just the slightest bit, they both had ivory skin tone and big eyes, but that's where it stopped .

It was our turn to do our scene, we had only 2 minutes to decided on what we were going to do. Basically I was going to lay down, do nothing and when he fell next to me it was my turn to improvise. I was thinking it was going to be major crap, I was so wrong, Noah could actually act.

His version of the scene was that I was in a never ending coma, the only way he could be with me was to inject poison into his bloodstream. Kind of like shooting heroin.

Before he fell next to me he said, "My sweet Juliet, I can not bear it anymore living without you," he said caressing my head. "If this foresaken world won't allow us together, than maybe the next world will." He fell next to me, nudging on my arm to say go.

I got up to speak, then the fiery feeling came back to me, more intense than the last. I clutched on my stomach trying to breath. Several people looked confused, I realized they thought I was still acting. I played my part through my pain and looked over to Noah who was laying on his stomach.
"Oh Romeo, what have you done," I said breathless, grabbing his wrist 'checking' for a pulse. "I'm sorry this had to happen like this."
