••••Update•••• "Now class, no complaining. You get plenty of time to complete the project with your partner," Mr. Grover, my History teacher, says when he hears us groan. We get a week to read an assigned section in the textbook and act out what's happening between the two people. So pretty much, we get to make up whatever we want with a historical setting. Unfortunately, the project is 30% of our semester grade and we have to do well. "Alright! I'm assigning partners!" Mr. Grover says enthusiastically. "Megan with Savannah! Lee and Fiona! Terissa and Gina! Preston and Matt! Gordon and Jackie!" and so on. Gina, a extremely smart girl, and I move our desks together and talk about which time period we'll get. "You two will be doing the relationship between Marc Antony and Cleopatra," Mr. Grover walks over to us and gives us a slip of paper. "Isn't that awkward, sir?" Gina says, "we're both girls." "Ahhhh yes! Well, let's make a simple switch, shall we?" Mr. Grover says, "Preston, Gina! Switch partners!" I see Preston smiling at me brightly. Oh great. "So do you want to come to my house? Preston finally says. "Wait. Why do I have to come to your house?" I retort. "Because, we have to get this project done. I want a good grade," he winks. "We have plenty of time during free period to get it done," I rebel. "Yeah, but I have props we could use at home! I found them in the dumpster; I guess the old owners never took it," he says. "Props are so-," I say. "Props! What a marvelous idea, Ms. Lennox!" Mr. Grover shouts the whole class. "See?" Preston smirks (he looks so cute... Wait. Did I just say that?) I roll my eyes and turn my desk away. I'd rather do this on my own. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Preston and I meet up after lunch in the library to get our project started. Since we got no work done today in class, I'm hoping we can finally start and finish quickly. The more we get done, the less time I have to hang out with him. "Fine, why don't we go to your house?" Preston suggests. "I um my mom doesn't allow boys over," I quickly lie. "What about your dad?" he asks. "I- I don't have one," I say softly. His face goes from happy to sad, "I'm so sorry; I didn't mean to, Riza." "GOD DAMN IT. Why do you call me that? Can't you see that I hate being called that?" I hiss loudly enough for the two tables over to hear me. "Geez, sorry. You don't have to be so defensive," he winces. "Whatever. Can we just get this done? I have other shit to do," I say rudely. "Like what? Daydream about something? Don't think I haven't noticed. You do it all the time," he fires back. "Why.. are you looking at me then?" I hiss softly. "It's hard not to look at you. You're pretty. Well, and you sit right next me. You're parallel to the board," he quickly says. "Well. Um. I didn't tell you to sit next to me," I roll my eyes, "can we start already?" "Alright fine. So, as you know, Cleopatra and Marc Antony are lovers. So we have to act out a love scene," Preston smirks. "You're kidding, right?" I complain. "What? It's not that hard. I'm sure you've seen one of the school plays before," he says. I feel like the lump in my throat getting bigger; I manage to croak out a "yes". "Then this should be easy for you," Preston smirks, "let's start with a simple line." "Fine." I grimace. "Just say: I love you with all my heart desires," he says in a dramatic voice and does and dramatic hand gesture. "I-love," I croak. "Come on! Haven't you ever told someone that? Your mom, your boyfriend?" he groans at lameness. "I don't had a boyfriend," I whisper in a hush. "I'm sure you've had one before," he says. The lump in my throat bursts and I run out of the library in tears. The nerve of him. The nerve of him! "Wait. Riza. What did I do? I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you!" Preston runs after me. I stop dead in my tracks and turn around as he catches up, "Don't call me that. Don't you see how much it hurts me?" "I'm sorry... I didn't think you'd cry," his eyes sadden. "You don't understand! You don't know me!" I cry. "I know. Can't I get to know you? Every time I try to talk to you, you push me away. You do that with everyone else too, you know. It's like you don't want anyone to get close," he says. "Maybe I'm not ready to talk," I say truthfully, "I'm going to go home. We'll continue tomorrow." "Okay. I'm sorry, again. I can't say it enough," he says walking away. "Wait, Preston?" I say; he stops and looks at me in the eye. "You can't just say you love someone. You have to feel it," I say before walking away leaving him the middle of the hallway, standing there. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I get to homeroom early the next morning. The thoughts of yesterday's incident still burn in my mind, but I think I'm starting to get better at forgetting about the past. "Hey, Terissa!" Preston smiles at me. "Hey," I give him a small smile. He sits next to me and looks at me, "I know how to make you 'feel it'." "Feel what?" I say. "Loving someone," he says softly. "Oh," I blush thinking about yesterday. "I'm going to take you out and I'm going to get to know you. Maybe you'll learn to love me... as a friend," he says after, quickly. He whispers something under his breath that I couldn't hear, but it's probably nothing anyway. "Okay," I say softly and smile. I wonder what I'm up for. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Short update! No flashback this time . I'm glad the update is on the same page as the pictures! Then you can see it, if you haven't done so. Yay!!! The flashbacks will resume, but not in her mind. She'll be telling them. These next updates include a deepening relationship (friendship or love?) and then the reveal of the incident and the shocker! Love you readers . P.S. SO TYPICAL I KNOW RIGHT? Told you .
AWWW. That is so sad. I love Preston right now. And yeah, sorta typical but still. Preston. How can you not love him?
They are both so freakin cute but I think I like both of them for different reasons plus I love sort of blonde hair and blue eyes
