This new life

Romeo enrolled in school, and I could not believe he is. Linda's green eyes could not depart from Romeo. Carmen and her best friend, Janet, all seem to be blushing scarlet whenever Romeo happens to glance their way. It was ammusing to see the jealousy in boyfriends' eyes as their girlfriend would swoon over Romeo. Romeo did not once leave my side unless he had to go to class, or was needed somewhere else. I did not mind. It was comforting of his presence.
     Linda came up to me with her dirty blond hair up in a neat ponytail. When she came to school it was in this crazy messy bun that looked as if she just woke up, in her defense she was late. Her pink lips were once bare, now covered in strawberry lip gloss I gave her last year, that she never uses. Her skirt was a little higher, her shirt lower, and her chest revealed more. I made a face unknowing of why she's looking like this. When I figured out why, I nearly slapped myself for not knowing this conclusion.
     Sure, Linda is my best friend, but I never could actually like her if she tried to steal my boyfriend. This is actually why I made up Romeo so no one could steal him, and make my life a living hell. However, I wrote Romeo to love me unconditionally, would never look at another girl, and would leave me to go to her. This boosted my confidence, and I didn't bother asking her to change. She might as well please the perverted high school boys as she walked down the halls.
     "So where's Romeo?" she asked the second she reached me. I wanted to slap her for even asking that while looking like that. But I'm a kind person, on the outside. So, I just shrug as I went through my locker. My locker is filled with my stories, and a bunch of notebooks filled with more stories. Only my Romeo stories are in my room. These are extra stuff that I use to entertain myself, and not the school.
     I sighed and turned around when I saw Linda exposing more... chest. I may be a girl, but talking about another girls' things just makes me feel awkward. I only care, and look at my body. I don't need to stare, and think about another girl's body. It's just sick and weird.
    My eyes pulled away looking at her eyes. "Are you looking for him for any particular reason?"
    "No, I just wanted to say hi." she smiled,and batted her eyes. "So, are you two sitting together at lunch?" she asked as if Romeo and I are having unsolved problems. I laughed in my head.
     "Yeah of course! He's also having new friends coming to eat with us. Now it won't be just the two of use to converse with." I smiled happily and closed my locker. I know Linda is mad. Why? I have not a clue. I know fury when I see it, but it takes much longer time to know why the fury is submerging. I ignored it knowing it's something about Romeo, and walked to the lunchroom.


Girls from every table gazed at Romeo. His muscular arms draped around my chair, a smile never leaving his face, and his eyes gazing at me lovingly when he's not talking to his friends. Reynold, James, Alec, and Mason sat with us during lunch. Linda made an excuse not to come. Alec sat with his girlfriend, Louise, who felt honored to be sitting here. Carmen took Linda's spot across from me sitting next to Janet an Reynold. Mason sat next to Romeo, feeling powerful in every way, and James sat next to me and Alec.
     We barely ate, and mostly converse with one another. I've never realized how great these people are until Romeo brought them to my life. Alec was really funny and cute, knowing why Louise is going out with him. Mason has a passion for acting, seeing his Shakespeare t-shirt. Reynold can really sing, known from his little performance he gave earlier. James is a jock during school hours, but works in a daycare with his mom, having a huge heart for kids. Louise could be a model, but she works at a diner, having a love for the classics. Carmen also enjoys acting, reciting dialogues with Mason randomly at the table.
     They've became my new crowd, and I've managed to spend quality time with each and every one of them. I became great friends with Mason and Carmen, them not knowing my talent of acting. We even went to a gathering with other great actors in school. Alec showed me how to pull pranks during class, really tricky if you ask me. Louise taught me about the 50's style to the 80's hits. Reynold took me to a club on karaoke night, giving me courage to sing, and I will never sing again. James also let me help at the daycare, and I became besties with a little girl named June who loves to draw. Romeo, of course, was with me the entire time.
     My parents are not shocked of his sudden appearance, and treated him as if they've known him for years. Dad did not once give him "the talk", and Romeo and Dad were bestest of pals. It struck me by surprise, but I've manage to act as if it were normal, not wanting to worry my parents. My little sister, Isa, treated Romeo as if he were her big brother, climbing on his back, playing games with him, and even hugged him good-bye every time.
     I liked this new life I never knew I had. It feels complete, and like it's been here the whole time. If only I could believe this was normal. If only I could believe it's real, but I know it will all go away soon, and I will wake up from this insane dream.
