Chapter 4

     When i got to the cemetery the next day Tyler wasn't there yet so i took a seat on one of the benches to wait. I had borrowed my dads camera and we just needed to talk about a new idea. If there even was a new idea. Ms. Vale seemed pretty adamant about us keeping the kiss.

        I heard something that sounded like a branch cracking i thought it was Tyler. I looked around but didn't see anybody. So i relaxed as soon as i did i felt two hands clamp down on my shoulders. I jumped up and screamed. I turned around to see Tyler laughing. 

       "Told you, you were scared." "I'm not scared you big jerk but i didn't know you were behind me." I huffed. "Whatever let's get to work." He said sitting next to me. He had a glass jar in his hand. "What's that?" I asked holding my hand out. He handed it to me. "It's the jar i painted to look like poison." "That's great i figured you would just find some old jar." I said shocked.

        "What you didn't think i would paint it?" He asked. "No I'm surprised and shocked." He rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Ok so lets start where you're laying here 'dead' and i walk in to see you dead. He dug into his back back and pulled out a plastic knife. I started to laugh. "What you told me to find something for you to kill yourself with." He said.

        "Where did you get that?" I asked laughing. "The store...?" He asked confused. "Oh i thought you had that in your room or something." I said. "No I'm not seven." He said slipping the knife into his belt. He took a few steps backwards and i laid down to pretend to be dead. 

       He walked over to me. "Oh no Juliet your dead, That guy that told me, i thought he was lying. I had to see it for myself and now that i know you're dead I'm going to kill myself too. I will never be..." But before he could finish his lines he started laughing. "What is so funny?" I asked sitting up and brushing my Carmel brown hair out of my face. 

       "This is so stupid." I took a deep breath. "Whether you think it's stupid or not we still have to do it. So can you at least pretend to take it seriously?" I asked. "Fine I'll try." I laid back down and shut my blue eyes waiting for him to start. When he didn't i opened one eye. "What?" He asked. 

       I sighed. "What now?" I asked him opening the other eye. "I'm just getting my self ready." He said. "Ok...well i wished you'd hurry." "Hey I'm trying to decide if i need to offer you a breath mint or something." He said. "Oh please i brushed my teeth before i left and don't act like that, it's not as if i want to kiss you either." I said. 

       "So does this make me the nerd or the cheerleader?" He asked making a cheerleader pose. I know he was stalling and I couldn't help but laugh. Then i took a serious face again. "The nerd." I said shaking my head. "Oh so you're out of my league? Yea right your the one who does all the studying." He said. "So i think that makes you the nerd and i don't like the fact that you think you're out of my league." He said. "That's not what i meant." I frowned. "Isn't it?" He asked. "No it's not. Look nobody's out of nobody's league look can you just try it again from the top and try not to laugh this time?" 

       "Fine." He took a few steps back and walked towards me. "Oh no Juliet you're dead, that guy that told me. i thought he was lying. I had to see it for myself and now that i know you're dead I'm going kill myself too. I will never be able to go through life with out you." He pulled the vile out of his pocket and took the top off and pretended to drink it. Then he fell over. I sat up looking around. "Oh no Romeo!" I cried out. I got off the bench and laid down next to him. I placed my ear over his heart and pretended to see if he was dead or not. I gasped. I saw the vile next to him and eagerly picked up. I tilted it up and tried to drink the rest. I threw it aside in anger for him not having left me any poison left. 

       I leaned down about to take the kiss to try and get the poison from his lips and then leaned up. "Nothing left to take." I reached into his side and took out his knife and stabbed it into my side and fell over on top of him.

       "You didn't kiss me." He said pointing out the oblivious. "No duh genius i only want to have to kiss you once so if you screw this up I'll hurt you." I said taking out my dad's camera and setting it up on the tri pod. I took a few steps back and made sure we would be able to get everything into the shot and turned it on. "I can take this home and edit it tonight." I said. "Ok are we ready to roll?" He asked. "Yea it's on." I said laying down. 

       He picked the vile and the knife back up and got ready. Once we were to the end i was about to take my kiss. I leaned down and pecked his lips then set up. "You didn't fall over." "I know that was just way to weird." I said. "Agreed, but i also have to point out that...if THAT was your last kiss you can see why i don't think Romeo and Juliet were very smart." He said. "What do you mean?" "Ms. Vale said she wanted to see Love if that was what you think love is your wrong." He said shaking his head.

        "I know...but i don't love you and so i don't know how to convey that to you." I said. He nodded in understanding. "Ok look at it this way. You don't want to kiss me so kiss me good and we'll be done and you can just edit that in ok?" "Fine how long does it have to be?" I asked agreeing it was a good idea. "Not long as long you kiss me like you mean it. Ms. Vale kept saying the kiss had double meaning she wanted the poison but she also wanted to kiss him." He said. 

        I shuddered. "Was i that bad of a kisser? Jeez come on Brooke suck it up." He said pumping his arm in the air. "It's not that it's just if you think about it Juliet was kissing a dead guy isn't that kind of gross?" I asked. "Ugh i know right." He shuddered. "Ok let's try again." I leaned down to kiss him. I placed my hands on the sides of his face and tried to pretend like this was really the guy i loved and i lost him. 

       I kissed him with so much intensity i could feel him kissing back. I sat up. "Nothing left." Then i took his dagger and stuck it in my side and fell onto him. I heard him make a sound of pain. I groaned and set up. "Ow..." I said holding my boob in frustration. "You think you're hurt you landed in my rib." He said. "Hey i think i hurt just a bit more then you do here." I said standing up and walking over to the camera. "Whatever but we need to shoot that scene again." "I am not kissing you again." I said. "Fine by me but you need to at least fall on me again and this time can you not boob me?" He asked. "As if i meant too now please stop talking about that."

        I walked back over and sat down next to him. I proceeded to fall on him but i fell more gently this time. I sat up and looked at him. "Are you ok?" "Yes you didn't hurt me this time." He said. "Ok good." I stood up and walked over to the camera and cut it off. I slid it back into the case and got my stuff together. 

       We walked back to my car and got inside. "So what test do you have tomorrow?" I asked him. "One in world history, i have flash cards if you can just read them off to me." He said. Read them off to him?  I'll probably have to help him memorize them before i read them off to him. Oh this is just great. More work for me. 

       "Anything else?" I asked. "Well I've got English and Gym covered i just have a test in Algebra. Working equations." "Ok well we can do that." I said as i pulled into my spot on the side of the curb. We got out. He looked up at my house. 

       "Nice place." He said. We had a small brick house. Nothing elaborate. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms a kitchen and living room. My mom enjoyed painting the shutters now and again. This time they were a dark hunter green. I turned the knob and pushed the door open. I set my back pack on the table. 

       "Have a seat." I told him opening the fridge to look for something to eat. I pulled out some pizza rolls and cheese sticks and put them onto a plate. I slid them into the microwave. "What would you like to drink?" I asked looking at him. "What do you have?" "Tea, Milk, water, and juice." "Tea's fine." He said. I took two glasses out of the cabinet and filled them. I brought them to the table. As i was setting the jug into the fridge the microwave went off. I went and got the plate out and brought it to the table. 

       I took a seat. "Ok so if you'll just pull out your history flash cards and review them, when you're done I'll call them out to you." I said pulling some books from my bag so i could study as well. A little while later he told me he was ready for me to call them out. "How long did the battle of world war II last?" "From 1939 to 1945" "Uh.. that's right." I said a bit on the shocked side. 

       "What day did it start?" "September first." "Right again" I said in even more disbelief. "Which country started it?" "Germany." He said smiling at the look on my face. "Who did they invade?" "Poland." He said grinning his mega wat smile. "Ok." I said putting the flash cards down. "You know all this stuff." I said irritated. "Was i not supposed to?" He asking grinning. "Yea i was supposed to help you i thought you needed my help." "Yes but you assumed i was stupid." He said.

       "No i didn't." "You kind of did." "No i just thought you were  like lazy or something." "I agree there are plenty of more things i would rather do then study but I'm not stupid." He said. "Then why i am helping you?" I asked. "I believe you said i didn't have a choice." He pointed out. "And you let me, you don't look like the kind of guy to have some girl tell you what to do." I said.

        "It's not that, look Mr. Bartista told me i had to be in the program to transfer here and if there were any issues I'd get expelled." "Ah so that's it!" I said. "Yea when me and my dad came up here to ask about transferring he said he had a new program and i could come here if i promised to join. He was trying to get enough people enrolled." "Great, so you don't need me." I said. "Aw don't be so sad about it, I have to be in the program and here you are my angel! Carry on with the flash cards." He said. I frowned. "That's not funny!" I said. "Sure it is." He patted my arm. "The flash cards?" He asked.

       "I'll get there." I started but then stopped. "Wait just a minute do you even need help solving equations?" I asked getting a bit angry. "Not really but i tell you what you can do, make me a practice test then i can do it and you can grade me how's that?" He asked trying to appease me. "Fine." I grumbled picking up the flash cards to finish reading them off to him. When we had finished i started on his practice test. While he worked on it i studied for my other tests. 

       "Hey I'm done with this." He said sliding it over. I started to grade it. "All but one good job." He looked shocked that i would tell him that. "What?" I asked. "It's just YOU told me i did a good job, i thought you were like superior and were going to say i could of done better and got that one right or something." He said. "No I'm not that uptight you did a good job, ok?" I said. 

       He put the last pizza roll into his mouth and smiled. "Ok then chief looks like were all done here." He said smiling. "Yea seems we are." I put all my books back into my back pack. "Come on." I said nodding my head towards the door. "I'll take you home." 

       When i got to his house he looked at me. "Thanks." He said. "Ok now its my turn to be shocked." "What i can't tell you thank you?" He asked. "It's not that its just you don't seem to be the kind of guy to want to accept help." I said thoughtfully. "No i can accept help its just when you assumed i was stupid and needed a tutor that's what bothered me." He pointed out. "I never said you were stupid! And if you thought i did then..." "He looked at me expectantly. "I'm sorry if you thought i assumed you were stupid." "Thank you." He said obviously getting a kick out of this. "Alright alright I'll see you in English tomorrow." I said. "Ok bye." He said getting out of the car.
