Juliette by Melissa Amondo (year 7 reading list TXT) 📖

But wait, she thought he was hot too? "Don't worry though Juliette, he is not my type." That made me feel even better. I finally began to breathe like a normal person. She was done with my hair, she did a pretty french braid and made sure she pulled a few of my baby hairs out. I wish I could hire her to always do my hair. Then she added some concealer and foundation to cover the bags under my eyes. She yelled at me to keep still while she applied eyeliner to my eyes. "Open now" she says so bossy. "Great, now add this lip gloss to your lips and your good to go." she said with a smirk. I got up to apply the lipgloss and was amazed when I looked at myself again in the mirror. I was a new woman. I applied the lip gloss and I felt even more beautiful. Stacey grabbed her books and her bags and was almost out the door before I shouted, "Wait!" I made her jump alittle. "What happened? Oh my goodness." she sounded annoyed. Feeling embarassed I said, "What will I wear?". Stacey sighs, "You dont have to dress up for class. Borrow my blue hoodie, with some skinny jeans, and sneakers or sandals. You will look cute, but wont look like your trying to hard." she winks at me and then walks out the door. I was so happy and I was praying that I would run into Jason today. 

 

Stacey was right. Almost everyone wore a hoodie and looked comfortable. I felt comfrortable and confident at the same time. This is something I am not used to, and I am loving it. I got to class alittle earlier to make sure I would get a seat. This was a Chemistry lab class, so I picked a table where no one was sitting. Didn't want to force myself on anyone who was already sitting at te othe tables. I've always liked science so I was actually excited for this class. I had a feeling that Jason would not be in this class since he told me that he was majoring in Bussiness Administration but I was hoping I could run into him after class. Later this afternoon I had to be a cheer practice and help them with the equipment, possibly I might see him then. I felt at ease in this classroom because I felt like if you were taking chemistry, you were as dorky as me. I could be as dorky as I wanted to be and no one would know. I smiled. My plan was to get and A in this class. I grabbed one of the syallabus that was already on the desk and started to look at when all the exam days were and when the assignments would be due when I was startled by a male voice. "Hey gym cutie. Is this seat taken?" My heart raced, when I looked up it was Cameron from the gym. He was real charming that night at the gym. But Heather warned me to avoid him. She said he was trouble and a big flirt. "No. No one sitting here." I said alittle flustered. He was handome. "Great!" he says with a smile and takes off his back pack and plops down in the seat right next to me. He leaned in closer to me and said, "Whats is your name beauty?" Oh yeh, he is definetly a flirt. "Juliette." I smiled. I am such a dork. "You have a pretty smile. I'm Cameron. I remember you from the other night, but got chased out my the cheer monsters before I was able to get your name. First year?" He said. I know I was blushing. I could feel it. I was in my head trying to keep cool. "Yeah, this is my first year. Sorry I could not let you in the gym last night." I replied. "It's all good. I know it was not your fault. So, what is your major?" He asked. "Nursing. How about you?" WHat the heck was he even doing in here. He was an athlete. Would never expect him to be in my Chemistry class. "Pre-Med." he says and my jaw almost drops. "You want to be a doctor?" I reply with amazement. He chuckles, "Not all Jocs are dumb and want to play sports professionally." Ouch, hope I didn't offend him. "It's okay, you not the first person to have the reaction." He laughs almost as if he heard my thoughts. I felt my cheeks get warm. "sorry.." I reply. "Your good." he smiles. "Maybe we could be study buddies?" he asks and before I could reply, the teacher walks into the room and begins to introduce himself. The answer was yes! I would love to be Camerons study buddy.
