"I know what a damn sonnet is," he growled low, venom in his voice. He didn't want to attract any more unwanted attention from Mrs. Tommlin so he kept his voice low. He'd read Romeo and Juliet twice, but he didn't have to tell work-obsessed girl that. God, she looked so uptight-- like she's never relaxed a day in her life.

He took the paper, crumpling it up. He'd have thrown it at the near wastebasket, but he knew that eventually, he'd have to do something for this project to get Miss Uptight off of his ass, so he'd need her number. He stuffed it into his jacket's pocket where he kept his bike keys during school hours.

The school must have turned the heater on. After all, September mornings were never promised to be close to warm. He shrugged his jacket off, his built arms shown off and stretching the sleeve of his black tee shirt. He ran a hand through his hair.

"So. Romeo and Juliet," he said a little more calmly this time. "I'll watch the damn movie, but that's it," he said with a sigh when the bell finally rung. He grabbed his jacket and his books, making a bee line for the exit. God, he needed to find Trevor to regain some form of sanity. He didn't even spare a glance back at her as he was the first out of the classroom.

Trevor was found under the stairs on the farthest end of the first floor. That was where their friends usually hung out between classes.

"Whoa man, you look pissed," noted Trevor aloud.

Zane rolled his eyes. "It's one of those preps."

"Ouch," Trevor quickly commented, just knowing. "Who is it?"

He pulled out her number from his pocket. "Janice."

"Holderfield?" ask Trevor's friend Madeira.

Zane nodded his head and everyone made a noise. They seemed to all know her, but no one commented on having a problem with the girl, which was a first. Usually when Zane noted that he disliked a certain person from the preppy crowd, someone would have a problem with them. This was the first time no one voiced a problem about one.
