Dare I Say It?

*Romany's POV*
06:00am

After my run and my brief meeting with my newest aquaintance, Jack, I walk into my new house - it doesn't feel like "home" yet -and plop down onto the couch, catching my breath . 15 minutes later I feel hot and sticky. I hop into the shower and take my time washing my hair and body. After about half an hour I get out, towel dry my hair and get dressed

I walk down the stairs and the smell of bacon frying greets my as I enter the kitchen.

"Morning Mama!" I say cheerfully while nipping a piece of bacon out of the pan.

"Morning sunshine - hey! Hands off!" She says while playfully slapping my hand with the spatula.

"Where's Sean and Dad?" I ask.

"Dad's in the shower and Sean's still sleeping. Be a doll and wake him up for me? Breakfast's almost ready."

"Roger that, Seargeant Major sir!" I salute mom and march up to my brother's room.

I open his door just a crack and slip into his room.

"Sean -" I lightly shake his shoulder.

"It's time to get up. Mama says breakfast's almost ready." Nothing. I try again. Nada. I walk over to his windows and yank the curtains open while singing loudly

"WAKE UP! WAKE UP! IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAAAAAYYYYY!!!!" My angelic performance earns me a pillow against the head and a very grumpu looking Sean sitting up glaring at me.

"Can't you wake someone like a NORMAL PERSON?!" He snaps groggily.

"I did. Twice. Now stop being a dick and come eat breakfast."

"Bitch."

"I love you tooooo!" I sing while dancing out.

I enter the kitchen at the same time as Dad.

"Morning, love of my life!" He pulls Mom into a hug and kisses her forehead.

"Morning, Princess!" He comes over to me and gives me a bear hug.

"Morning Dad - Gahh! You're crushing meeee!!" I laugh.

Sean skulks in and takes a seat at the table.

"Morning to you too, darling" Mom says to him.

" Yeah, morning mom, morning dad." He grumbles.

We dish up and start eating.

"So... first day of school. You guys nervous?" Dad asks.

"Ughh Daaad... I wasn't even THINKING about it. I'm so nervous now. Thank you SO much." I declare dramatically.

"Stop being so melodramatic - How 'bout you Seanie?" Mom asks him.

"Mmpgh..." he grunts while chewing.

After finishing breakfast, I load the dishwasher - I love this thi g! We've never had one before - and head upstairs to brush my teeth and do my hair.

"Five minutes to go time!" Mom yells up to us.

"I'm coming!" Sean and I yell simultaniously.

I grab my backpack, throw a few pens, pencils and blank books in and head down.

"Since these schools have caffeterias, here's some money for luch." Mom says and hands us our money.

We pile into the car and head off. I'm really nervous when we stop in front of the school.

"You know, I suddenly don't feel so hot.. let's all go home and sleep a few more hours." I say.

"Nonesense. Get out there and smile and wave guys." Mom says dismissively. I hate it when she says that.

We reluctantly get out.

"Love you guys!" My parents say.

"Love you too!" We chorus.

Sean and I head into the building looking for the main office.

"Which way do you think -"

"No clue. " Sean says automatically.

"This is so different from our old school." I say quietly.

"Yeah." He agrees.

"I miss home." I say. Sean gets what I mean when I say "home" - home as in South Africa.

"Me too."

We finally find the main office just as the bell goe and finally pick up our schedules as well as the school's code of conduct.

"So this is it, huh?" I say.

"Yeah."

"See you at lunch?"

"Yup." He says and walks off into the sea of people.

I look at my schedule.

SCHEDULE FOR: ROMANY ANNE MILLER , SENIOR

1ST PERIOD - DRAMA. M. DILLON. ROOM 24C

"How the hell..?" I say as I start looking for the classroom.

I bump into a lot of people and get cursed at a lot.

"Wow. Nice crowd." I mutter.

15 minutes into the 1st period I finally find the class and stumble headfirst into it.

"Um.. sorry I'm late, I'm.. um.. new here and I um.. I got lost.." I trail off, blush and look down at my convers as 26 individual pairs of eyes stare at me.

"Perfectly understandable. I'm mr. Mark Dillon. Welcome to drama, miss - ?"

"Romany Miller" I say.

"Right Miss Miller. Why don't you take a seat over there next to mr. Styles." He says and points to a very familiar mop of curly hair. I shuffle over to the seat, avoiding eye contact with everyone, my face burning red hot. I sit.

"Hi Romany." I hear from my right.

I turn and my eyes meet a pair of emerald ones.

"Hi.. Harry.. right?" I ask cautiously.

"Yeah! How are you?" He asks, grinning like the Chesire Cat.

I grin. "Pretty good thanks. You?"

"Mr. Styles. Am I interrupting something?" Mr. Dillon asks.

"Ermm.. no sir.. Just talking to a pretty girl." Harry says and winks at me, then looking back to the teacher. I reluctantly look back at mr. Dillon.

"So class. As I was saying.. This term's all about.. " he points to a guy in front of the class. "Drum roll, please, mr. Devine." He says. The guy does and excellent drum roll.

"Thank you... Romeo and Juliet!"
