10 things i hate about you

chapter 2

Josie's pov

The bell rang and I took out my supplies for mr Williams class we all settle.
I share this class with my ex boyfriend rafael who is now into my sister Lizzie, rafael and I dated for a month in 9th grade.
"So what do you think of the sun also rises" mr Williams asks about our last assignment.
Some girls say "I loved it, he's so romantic." I look behind at them in disbelief.
"Romantic? Hemingway?" I scoff
"He was an abusive, alcoholic misogynist who squandered half his life hanging around Picasso trying to nail his leftovers." I say
"As opposed to a bitter, self-righteous hag who has no friends?" Rafael mocks me.
"Pipe down, chachi." Mr Williams tells him.
"I guess in this society, being male and an asshole makes you worthy of our time." I bite back
"What about Sylvia Plath, or Charlotte Bronte or Simone de Beauvoir?" I ask mr Williams and right then the class door opens and hope mikealson enters
"what'd I miss?" She asks
"The oppressive patriarchal values that dictate our education." I scoff
"Good" she says and rushes back out of the class
"Hey hey!" Mr Williams shouts for her.
"Mr Williams" Rafael calls.
"Is there any chance we could get Josie  to take her Midol before she comes to class?" He jokes
"Someday you're gonna get bitch-slapped, and I'm not gonna do a thing to stop it." Mr Williams says and Rafael slides down into his seat
"and Josie I want to thank you for your point of view." Mr Williams says and starts walking to my desk
"I know how difficult it must be for you to overcome all those years of upper-middle class suburban oppression. Must be tough. But the next time you storm the P.T.A., crusading for better lunch meat,
or whatever it is you white girls complain about,ask them why they can't buy a book written by a black man!" He finishes and bends down and places his palms on my desk.
"I agree wills" two delusion rastas yell
"Don't even get me started on you" mr Williams tells them
"Anything else?" I ask
"Yeah go to the office you're pissing me off" he says
I get surprised
"-what, Mr Williams.." he doesn't let me finish
"Laterr" he yells
I sigh and take my bag and rafeal laughs I hit him with my book.
"Ow!"

I wait outside principal forbes's office I hear her call for Judith
"Judith what's another word for engorged?"
"I'll look it up" Judith replies
I step in and say
"Swollen?turgid? tumescent?"
"Perfect" principal tells me
"So, I hear you were terrorizing Mr. William's class again."
"Expressing my opinion is not a terrorist action." I defend myself
"The way you expressed your opinion to Bobby Ridgezay? By the way his operation went well if you were wondering." She tells me
"I still maintain that he kicked himself in the balls." I shrug
"The point is Josie...... People perceive you as somewhat..." She looks for the right word.
"Tempestuous?" I ask
" 'Heinous bitch' Is the term used most often. You might want to work on that." She tells me
"Thank you,As always, thank you for your excellent guidance." I tell her
"I'll let you get back to your novel." I say and leave.

Mg's POV
I stand with Ethan in the parking lot and a tall guy looks at Lizzie walking by and comments "looking good girls" his friends tells him that Lizzie is out of his reach I tune out the rest of the conversation
"Who is he?" I ask Ethan
"That's Rafael, he's a jerk off and a model." He tells me
"A model?" I ask and chuckle lightly
"A model. Mostly regional stuff, but he's rumored to have a big tube sock ad coming out." He says
And then I see Lizzie again
"Man look at her, is she always so....." I was going to say perfect but Ethan cuts me off by saying
"Vapid?" I glare at him
"How can you say that, she's totally...." I was going to say gorgeous but Ethan cuts me off again by saying
"Conceited" I scoff and slightly move away
"what are you talking about? There's more to her than you think. The way she smiles and look at her eyes, she's totally pure, you're missing what's there." I tell him defensively
"No.no.  mg , no what's there
is a snotty little princess wearing a strategically planned sun dress
to make guys like us realize that we can never touch her and guys like rafael realize that they want to. She, my friend, is what we will spend the rest of our lives not having. Move on" he tells me
"No.no you're wrong about her." I tell him
"Alright...... I'm wrong?" He asks I nod slightly
"You wanna take a shot, be my guest. She's looking for a french tutor." Ethan says I brighten up
"Are you serious? That's perfect!" I say smiling
"Do you speak French?" Ethan asks me
"No but I will." I tell him.
