How did Robert and Francine's first meeting go? Circles Divided on FridaySnippets #FridaySnippets #romance #NA

This week's snippet is from my NA contemporary dancer romance - Circles Divided. Book 2 of Circles Trilogy.

Scene set - Robert returns to class at Westland Private Prep. His teacher has something planned, but Robert's not sure what's going on.




Tuesday morning, Robert wandered the hallways of Westland Private Preparatory School and stood outside the senior girl's washroom waiting for Julie to exit. To his dislike, when she did, it was with her friend and his enemy, Francine. Heather and Jennifer followed closely behind. Francine stood in front of Robert, curled her lip and sneered. "What do you want?"Ignoring her, Robert stepped closer to Julie. "What class is first period today? I'm so lost.""Calculus." Julie smiled. "And good morning to you too."Heather tapped him on the arm. "Are you back gracing our hallowed halls?""It's more like grossing out our hallowed halls." Francine crossed her arms and rolled her eyes."I see we still aren't on speakin' terms." He raised one eyebrow.She didn't turn her head. "You called me a bitch.""I only call 'em as I see 'em. See you in calc, babe." He walked towards his morning class.Julie turned to her friend. "Francine, Robert is very much part of my life. You don't have to learn to like him, just be civil."A scowl crossed Francine's face as she flicked her hair off her shoulder. "It's not possible to be civil with the uncivilized." The bell cut off Julie's reply. She turned on her heel and headed for class."Good morning class." Mr. Ross, the calculus teacher, waited while they settled. "I have a special treat for you. A pop quiz." A chorus of protests arose from the room, which Mr. Ross ignored as he handed out the papers. Robert read the first question then frowned. He'd done all the work Julie delivered will he was recuperating in the hospital, but none of this looked familiar. He scanned the question again then scratched his head. Mr. Ross stood next to his desk. "Problem?""Should I know how to do this?" Robert tapped his pen on the paper."You? Yes, you should." The teacher continued along the aisle.With his brow creased in confusion and thought, Robert settled down to work. He brainstormed how to solve the first problem and had just finished it as the bell rang. Walking to the teacher's desk with his paper in one hand, he tapped Julie's arm. "We got a free period next, right?"She nodded."Sir, can I stay here and work? I only got the first one done." He waved his test.Mr. Ross pointed to the back of the room. "Sure, pull a desk to the back and keep working."Julie placed a hand on Robert's arm. "See you at lunch?"He shrugged.






Is the love of a girl from wealthy Westland and a street punk from the slums of the Shore strong enough to surpass all that life will throw at them and forge a life together? Is Julie willing to sacrifice her childhood dream of becoming a professional dancer for the man she loves? Is Robert willing to lay down his ties to the gang in order to hold onto his new found love?
Sacrifices must be made, but will they be enough?
