Loving a 'Freak'

Chapter 3: Detention

Y/N POV
End of the day... time for this bloody detention. You stand outside English and take a big sigh before reluctantly walking in.
Mrs Stone looks up from her desk "Ahh if it isn't
Secret agent Harrington" you mentally roll your eyes and take a seat in the room. Mrs Stone stands and walks up to your desk "Seriously y/n passing notes!You best not get involved with that Munson boy. He is trouble" her voice was gritty. Her words about Eddie made you uncomfortable. You'd began to like Eddie he seemed sweet.

Before you could reply to her rudeness you heard a familiar voice in the doorway of the class room " Oh Mrs Stone is
that anyway to talk about your favourite student" he flashed her a very cheeky smirk. Eddie sat in the desk next to yours "why hello fair maiden" You laughed at Eddies eccentricity "hello good sir" you replied
Mrs Stone rolled her eyes and sighed "Remember that you two are in detention. For the next hour you will read the first act of Romeo and Juliet" she smiled a evil grin as if she thought she had the upper hand.
"Mrs Stone, I'm a fast reader so what am I meant to do when I finish act one?" Mrs Stone glared "oh ok Harrington you wanna be cocky and pedantic huh fine instead of Act 1 BOTH of you will read the entire play and tomorrow there will be a test on it...and it will count as 40% of your grade"

"What!" Eddie and you both shouted springing from your chairs" Mrs Stone chuckled "that will teach you" Mrs Stone then left the room leaving you and Eddie alone

You slumped back in your chair and you saw Eddie put his head on the table "Eddie are you okay?"

"No, I cant fucking fail this class again. I never been good with this Shakespeare shit, I've been held back God knows how many times"
You place your hand on Eddie's shoulder "Maybe you do understand it but it's not been taught in a way that you understand it"

Eddies head shot up "hmm that's a good point...Do you think you could teach me..."

You smiled "of course Sir Edward"
"It all begins in a town called Verona which is in Italy. There are two families that really don't like each other..."

~10 minutes later~
"Wait so he thought that Juliet chick was dead and he fucking poisoned himself but really shes not dead" Eddie said in disbelief

You nod "fucking hell that's fucked up" Eddie said
"Perhaps that Romeo dude should have just waited a couple seconds huh" Eddie laughed

" I know right and all that mumbo jumbo about love at first sight...so unrealistic" you both laughed. You laughed so hard you accidentally pushed your bag off the desk "goddamn it" you said in frustration. You went to pick up your things and Eddie quickly came to help.

Just then as you both reached for your English notebook your eyes met. In that moment you both froze as you finally looked at each other properly and not in quick glances. You look at Eddie's eyes they were big brown eyes. His eyes were so beautiful. There was such light in his eyes and you knew in that moment that everything Mrs Stone and anyone else  said about him must be wrong. How could such beautiful eyes belong to someone so 'troublesome' you could see no evil in his eyes. they never saw him the way you are seeing him in that moment

"It looks like Shakespeare was right about that...first sight stuff" Eddie said still gazing into your eyes.
"Yeah...I guess he was"
