Mr. Devil

*Romeo and Juliet*

Charlie's POV

     It had been 2 weeks since I had last spoken to Jacob. For the first week he had completely disappeared from school but then he came back.

    Austin and Victoria always trailed behind him like lost puppies. When they would pass me in the hall Jacob would give me a quick glance but he never said a word.

    Austin and Victoria would stop sometimes to talk to me but Jacob would just keep walking. I had really fucked up with him when suggesting to not kill Max, Blake, and Zander.

The three idiots will soon be joining us in school. I had talked to Austin briefly about them and I guess that they have already proven trustworthy enough to join Jacobs gang. Jacob I guess had selected them to be my inside guards when I am at home or at the store, at least he still cares.

I am not necessarily complaining but I don't really like the idea of three goons following me around. Based off of what Austin told me is that the three of them will be starting to be my guard today.

Walking through the doors of the school I dreaded the oh so lonely day ahead. You're probably thinking, don't you have Mike and Laura to talk to? Well normally yes I do, but today the both of them had a field trip for their biology class.

For the past two weeks I had been hanging out with them more often. Laura tried to drag me to parties but i always found my way out of it. When Laura would come to either Mike or I's houses drunk off her ass, we'd call each other, me and Mike of course because Laura was drunk.

Mike would bring over candy and horror movies and we'd all just hang out. Even if Laura was drunk she was pretty great company, almost as good as sober Laura.

The only person I look forward to talking to in school is Ben. I don't see him often since he is always off with his man that he had found but we talk during school.

"Hey Charlie Marlie!" Ben called from across the hall, gaining a few stares from students around. Ben skipped over to me and pulled me into a tight hug.

"Since we don't have Laura and Mike here we will have so much fun today! Oh my gosh we can sit under the tree at lunch and talk about hot guys." Ben said biting his lip trying to look seductive but the look just made me laugh.

"Yes Ben, of course we will do that." I said opening my locker. I shoved my backpack into my locker before grabbing my things for my first few hours. I shut my locker slowly and turned around and faced Ben, although he wasn't facing me.

I followed Ben's gaze to Jacob, Austin, Victoria, and a few more of the popular kids, who all stood leaning against the lockers around Jacob's. All of the popular kids along with Austin and Victoria were in a deep conversation but Jacob's eyes were casted elsewhere. By elsewhere I mean they were on me.

His stare wasn't cold like it normally has been since he was angry. This look is of regret and from what I could gather from his eyes is hurt. For the first time the look of hurt flashed through Jacob's eyes. It wasn't there long but I caught it. Regret stayed though and could easily be picked out.

I cleared my throat which brought Ben's gaze back towards me. He looked at me with a worried expression but I gave him a soft smile.

"Come on let's go to English." I said softly. He nodded and stuck by my side. I could feel Jacob's stare on me as I walked down the hall of busy students.

"Romeo and Juliet shouldn't have died god damn it. They were perfect for each other. They were soulmates." The Gibbon complained like he did everyday about the story. It had began to get old and I would much rather prefer to do other things than listen to this.

Jacob watched me from the back of the classroom like he has everyday for the past week. That had also gotten old. I'm tired of playing the waiting game but Austin told me it was for the best.

"Can Mr Gibbon just shut up already!" Ben groaned slamming his head into the desk, gaining the attention of the group behind us. I laughed and picked his head up from the table. I smiled at him and shook my head.

"It's impossible, I've wanted him to since last year. Although I'm glad that we don't get homework because of these discussions." I stated letting go of Ben's head which made it hit the desk again. I laughed slightly at the pain I had just caused my friend.

"One, you fucking bitch that hurt." He said smacking the back of my head. My laughing stopped and I glared at him. I heard the noise of a grunt and I turned around to see Jacob glaring darkly at Ben. I rolled my eyes and turned to my friend.

"And two, you're telling me he has been talking about this for two years?" He questioned sounding baffled. I laughed and nodded.

"He's been complaining about how Romeo and Juliet should have never died and had a happy ending together since I got into high school." I smiled at the memories of Mr Gibbon arguing with himself during class.

"Holy shit this man is insane. Do you think it's maybe because he hasn't been laid in so long?" He asked me making my mouth drop. I closed and opened my mouth a few times. I probably looked like a fish but I didn't care. I gave up and shrugged.

"Dude that old man probably fantasizes that he is Romeo with Juliet. He probably gets har-" I slammed my hand on Ben's mouth before he could finish the sentence. Once I pulled my hand away he smiled innocently at me.

"I do not want to think of my English teacher getting laid or getting excited." I said glaring at him. He just shrugged and leaned back into his chair.

"You're just mad because Mr Gibbon is getting more action in the sheets than you are." He said with a smirk. My glare grew and if I could I would murder him for saying that.

"Oh boy I wish I could wipe that smirk off your face." I said to him huffing and leaning my head again my hand. He smiled a full grin at me.

"You know you love me!" He squealed.

"Yeah yeah just shut up already." I said turning away from Ben and to Mr Gibbon who was what looked like scaring a student by telling him about why Romeo and Juliet shouldn't have died.

I turned around and I looked at Jacob who was already looking at me. My eyes locked with his. His look was full of secure-ness and warmth. I felt safe while I was under his gaze.

I gave him a soft smile which made the corners of his lips twitch slightly. I sighed before turning back around to Mr Gibbon who now was putting in the death scene from Romeo and Juliet for the third time this week.

This is going to be a long day. I said resting my head against Ben's arm.
