DON PEDROCome, lady, come; you have lost the heart of Signior Benedick.BEATRICEIndeed, my lord, he lent it me awhile; and I gave him use for it, a double heart for his single one: marry, once before he won it of me with false dice, therefore your grace may well say I have lost it.DON PEDROYou have put him down, lady, you have put him down.BEATRICESo I would not he should do me, my lord, lest I should prove the mother of fools. book-quotelovewomenmenOkay, so I shouldn't have fucked with her on the introduction thing. Writing nothing except, in her notebook probably wasn't the smartest move. But I was itching to make Little Miss stumble in her introduction of me. And stumbling she is."Miss Ellis?"I watch in amusement as Perfection herself looks up at Peterson. Oh, she's good. This partner of mine knows how to hide her true emotions, something I recognize because I do it all the time."Yes?" Brittany says, tilting her head and smiling like a beauty queen.I wonder if that smile has ever gotten her out of a speeding ticket."It's your turn. Introduce Alex to the class."I lean an elbow on the lab table, waiting for an introduction she has to either make up or fess up she knows less than crap about me. She glances at my comfortable position and I can tell from her deer-in-the-headlights look I've stumped her."This is Fuentes," she starts, her voice hitching the slightest bit. My temper flares at the mention of my given name, but I keep a cool facade as she continues with a made-up introduction. "When he wasn't hanging out on street corners and harassing innocent people this summer, he toured the inside of jails around the city, And he has a secret desire nobody would ever guess."The room suddenly becomes quiet. Even Peterson straightens to attention. Hell, even I'm listening like the words coming out of Brittany's lying, pink-frosted lips are gospel."His secret desire," she continues, "is to go to college and become a chemistry teacher, like you, Mrs. Peterson."Yeah, right. I look over at my friend Isa, who seems amused that a white girl isn't afraid of giving me smack in front of the entire class.Brittany flashes me a triumphant smile, thinking she's won this round. I sit up in my chair while the class remains silent."This is Brittany Ellis," I say, all eyes now focused on me. "This summer she went to the mall, bought new clothes so she could expand her wardrobe, and spent her daddy's money on plastic surgery to enhance her, assets."It might not be what she wrote, but it's probably close enough to the truth. Unlike her introduction of me.Chuckles come from in the back of the class, and Brittany is as stiff as a board beside me, as if my words hurt her precious ego. Brittany Ellis is used to people fawning all over her and she could use a little wake-up call. I'm actually doing her a favor. Little does she know I'm not finished with her intro."Her secret desire," I add, getting the same reaction as she did during her introduction, "is to date a before she graduates."As expected, my words are met by comments and low whistles from the back of the room."Way to go, Fuentes," my friend Lucky barks out."I'll date you, " another says.I give a high five to another Latino Blood named Marcus sitting behind me just as I catch Isa shaking her head as if I did something wrong. What? I'm just having a little fun with a rich girl from the north side.Brittany's gaze shifts from Colin to me. I take one look at Colin and with my eyes tell him Colin's face instantly turns bright red, resembling a chile pepper. I have definitely invaded his territory. book-quotedesirepaybackspanishWait!" Brittany calls out as I'm walking away.I turn around and she's right in front of me. "What?"She smiles seductively as if she's wanting something more than a truce. Way more. Shit, is she gonna kiss me? I'm taken off guard here, which usually doesn't happen. She bites her bottom lip, as if she's contemplating her next move. I'm totally game to making out with her.As my brain goes through every scenario, she steps closer to me.And snatches my keys out of my hand."What do you think you're doin'?" I ask her."Getting you back for kidnapping me." She steps back and with all her might whips my keys into the woods."You did not just do that."She backs up, facing me the entire time, as she moves toward her car. "No hard feelings. Payback's a bitch, ain't it, Alex?" she says, trying to keep a straight face.I watch in shock as my chem partner gets into her Beemer. The car drives out of the lot without a jolt, jerk, or hitch. Flawless start.I'm pissed off because I'm going to have to either crawl around in the dark woods trying to find my keys or call Enrique to pick me up.I'm also amused. Brittany Ellis bested me at my own game."Yeah," I say to her even though she's probably a mile away and can't hear me. "Payback is a bitch. book-quotetrickpaybackkeys
