âHonestly, I donât know. He said he wants to be more than friends.â
âWhaaat?â she stops combing.
âYeah when we went to the nurse. Weâre going out on Friday night. The asshole said we should go watch 50 Shades together and I was like whaaat? Seriously man. Who would take a girl on their first date to watch porn?â
Revi laughs out loud. âHe already wants to get in your pants. Anyway continue.â
âAnd then I said no and walked away.â
âYou did not! Tell me you didnât,â Revi exclaims incredulously. I sigh.
âOf course I did. Youâd walk away too if it were you.â I hear her mutter whatever. âBut he stopped me and said he was sorry and said I can pick a movie. So I said yeah cool. I want to see Fast and Furious.â
I feel her pull at my hair. âOw!â I screech.
âYou lucky bitch! Youâre gonna see Fast and Furious? I want to see it too,â she whines.
âYou can be a third wheel,â I suggest.
âOh hell no!â she scoffs making me laugh.
âOh and we have the pharmacy,â I say in my best Tofiga from the Laughing Samoans voice. We both laugh and water almost went in my mouth. I tell her about how it felt when we first touched and she just ooh-ed and aww-ed. When we are done, we leave the bathroom and change into our onesie pjs. We have bear onsies with different colors. Hers is pink and mine is brown. We do our homework and then go to bed. Before I sleep I log on to my facebook page and mail my mum. I tell her about our flights, the school, how weâre getting on. I debate whether to tell her about my little incident and I decide against it. So I end my mail by sending her and the family my love. I then fall into a wonderful dream with a certain pair of green eyes.
Chapter 6
Today is our first music class. I am so excited. Well mostly I am excited to see Axel again but letâs not dwell on that for now.
Other from Art, music is another one of my talents. Not that Im bragging or anything. I am not. And whatâs so cool about it is that Revi and I both share this talent. We love to play whatever instrument we can get our hands on. But what we love the most are playing the piano or a guitar. We also love to sing and dance. Not hip hop dancing but traditional island dancing. We also hate the same things. Which is exercising for one.
Mr. Collins, our music teacher is cool. He asks our class who can play an instrument and of course everyone said yes. So he let us get up one by one to pick any instrument and play something for two minutes. I am so excited to get my turn. We see Miles in class and we go over to sit with him. When it is our turn, Miles goes up first. He picks and electric guitar. He is really good. He plays his own rendition of Bryan Adamsâ Summer of the 69. We cheer him on. Revi chooses the piano. She plays one of the music from the music book at the piano. Everyone really enjoyed it.
Itâs my turn and I canât play anything with my injured hand. I ask Mr Collins if I can sing instead and he says to go for it. I ask Revi to play the guitar. I didnât have to tell her which song to play. She pelts out Rod Stewartâs âI donât want to talk about itâ. I start singing solo and when it got to the chorus I nudge Reviâs leg and she got the message. She joins in turning it into a duet. We do the same routine for the next verses. By the time we are done, everyone is clapping.
âThat was beautiful girls,â Mr Collins praises.
âThank you,â we beam at him.
More students went up for their turns and they were all good. This music class is going to rock.
When the bell rings we say bye to Miles and hurry off to our English class. We walk in and sit where we sat yesterday. I see blondie is already there with her minions and she is giving me the evils. Iâd be angry if it wasnât for the fact that there was a bandage on her nose. I turn to my right and smile at Axel. He grins back and mouth âlaterâ when Mr Adams walks in.
âAs you all know, I told you to read Act III, Scene I of Hamlet for todayâs class.â He walks to the board and writes âTo be or not to be: that is the questionâ. He turns back to the class. âI want a volunteer to read out the soliloquy with this quote. Anyone?â
I look around and everyone is either looking away or pretending to do something. So I raise my hand. Mr Adamsâ eyebrows lifts so high with doubt. He tilts his head, âAre you sure?â He still thinks my English is not good.
âYes,â I answer. âOkay go ahead.â He gestures with his hand.
I take a deep breath and start reading. And to make it more fun, I read with a British accent plus a little theatre voice.
To be, or not to be? That is the questionâ
Whether âtis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And, by opposing, end them? To die, to sleepâ
No moreâand by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir toââtis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished! To die, to sleep.
To sleep, perchance to dreamâay, thereâs the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. Thereâs the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
I finish reading and look up at Mr Adams. The look on his face is priceless! I hear a Revi snicker.
âDo my ears play me false or did you just read with perfect English Miss Seve?â Mr Adams asks with a shocked face.
I shrug innocently. âI donât know what you mean Mr.â He shakes his head and go back to the class. âDoes anyone know the meaning behind this quote?â he points to the board.
When no one answers again, Revi raises her hand. âYes Miss Lesa?â
âWell, like the soliloquy clearly explains, it was Hamletâs indecision about what to do. He was considering whether to end his misery or shall I say depression by committing suicide. So yeah the quote can be used when youâre trying to decide between two options. For example, if there was a party and you were invited and then you ask yourself, to be or not to be? That is the question. Itâs like saying, should I go or not? Or in Hamletâs case, he was thinking, should I kill myself or not? But when he realised dying wouldnât be a good option so he didnât. So yeah. Thatâs what I think it means.â She finishes with a shrug. I smile and hold my fist out to her and we fist bump. You said it sista!
âYou sure pulled one on us yesterday, didnât you ladies?â Mr Adams chuckles. âThat is a very good definitionâŠâ I zone out when I start drawing in my notebook. It starts off as a doodle and ends up as a man holding a knife to his heart. It was a little disturbing. I snap out of my funk when something hit my leg. I glare at Revi.
âWhat?â I demand.
âPay attention,â she hisses. Uggh whatever. I scoot low on my chair and rest my shoulders on the back of my chair with arms folded in front.
âNow I want you to find a partner and then choose any theme from Hamlet to discuss. I want a written report of 500 words on my desk by tomorrow. Now get to it.â Everyone rushes to find their partners while I just sit there. I turn to Revi thinking we should partner up but that guy Rhett is already chatting her up and I see him move their desks together. I gasp. She just ditched me, the bitch!
âAxel Iâll be your partner of course,â I turn sharply at the sound of blondieâs voice. She notices and she smirks at me. I want to swipe that smirk off her face. I look away waiting to hear Axelâs response.
âSorry Brit, I already have one,â Axel says. I rub at my chest. Who the hell is his partner?
âWho did you partner up with?â blondies asks. My thoughts exactly.
âLani.â
I sit up quickly and turn my head to him. âWhat?â I ask with wide eyes. Blondie has a similar expression on her face. Though the bandage on her face makes her look ridiculous. Axel looks at me with a grin. âWeâre partners remember?â I just nod totally speechless. OMG he said Iâm his partner! I am mentally jumping with joy. I want to scream it in blondieâs face.
âYou canât be serious? Iâm your girlfriend! Weâre supposed to be partners!â blondie growls at Axel. GirlfriendâŠwhat now? Sheâs his girlfriend? Are you freaking kidding me? The bastard! Iâm already killing him in my head.
âNo youâre not. We broke up last year,â Axel says. He dated her? How could he have had dated such a bitch? Iâm starting to doubt his judgement.
âBut we always get back together!â and she stomps her foot. Ooh this is getting more interesting.
âNot this time Brit. Or ever,â he ignores her and turnes to me. âSo what theme should we talk about?â He asks as if nothing just happened. Blondie storms off in a huff. Got it? In a huff.
âUm I think you better partner up with blonâŠâ
âNo,â he says before I finish. âI want no one else but you.â I am resurrecting him in my mind. Wait, is he referring to us being partners in class or personally? I donât want to get my hopes up.
âUm okay. So I was thinking mortality. You?â
âI was thinking I should get your number now,â he gives me a goofy grin. Heâs so adorable. I move my face closer to his. I touch his tie and pull him closer. I look in his eyes and whisper huskily, âHow about, I give you my number after class and we get back to our work now?â I snicker and move back away from him but he holds me closer. âTwo can play at this game babe.â He winks. Suddenly itâs getting really hot in the classroom. âIâm better,â I wink back at him. He chuckles and shakes his head. We talk about our theme until the bell rang.
âHey we both have gym next so letâs go together,â Axel says.
âOh I was going to go withâŠâ I look to find Revi but it seems she is rather occupied with Rhett. Interesting. âYeah sure.â
We walk to the gym together and I see girls looking at us and whispering to each other. Suddenly a song pops in my head. They see me rollin. They hatinâ. Not that Iâm cocky or anything. It was just a random thought. I fish out my phone from
