*Jamie*
I sat through my first period class, physics, in complete boredom. Usually it wasn’t so boring, but today we were doing nothing more than a work sheet.
“Heyyy, Jamie.” Natasha slid into the seat next to me as I aimlessly did my work sheet, trying my best to just pretend she wasn’t there. “So……..” she looked at me waiting for me to give her my full and complete attention before going on. When she realized she wasn’t getting it, she just continued any way. “Did you hear the good news???”
I sighed, “what news…” She was obviously not going away, even though I REALLY wished she would… talking to her bored me more than just sitting here staring at a completed work sheet.
“About Blake…? That he’s coming back from Nevada…???” She stared at me, I knew what she was doing, she was trying to get on my nerves. So I tried my hardest to stay seated, and to not snap the pen in my hand.
“Yea… I heard.” I did my best to make my voice emotionless but a slight amount of venomous annoyance still crept out in my voice.
I had expected this though, so it was easier than it should have been to stay calm, I had prepared myself, after all, since Kelly and Jay-Jay had warned me this morning of the terrible news (or at least I considered it terrible) of Blake’s return. They had warned me because they knew that countless people would probably be pestering me for details of what he had been doing…. I guess no one had gotten it through their thick skulls that Blake and I had broken up BEFORE he left, and even if we hadn’t, months apart would have surely resulted in a separation… but I guess people were pretty stupid.
Natasha knew that I wasn’t too happy about her question, and she put on a pouty look, trying to get sympathy. “Ohhh…. Well… I just kinda thought you would be happy about it…”
Her little games annoyed me, and it got harder to be nice to her… *best thing would be to leave right…* I looked at the clock, there were only a few minutes left, and I knew that Mrs. Dawson wouldn’t mind me leaving a little early. “I’m leaving” I said as I stood up, giving off my best *leave me alone or I’ll tear you to shreds* vibe… and apparently it worked, Natasha just sat there, staring.
I grabbed my things and told Mrs. Dawson what I was doing before walking out, last thing I needed was a detention for walking out.
I felt bad for being so rude to Natasha, but I knew she would get over it in no more than an hour. And besides that she deserved it. Sure she claimed to be my friend, but she has been nothing but a backstabber the entire time I’ve known her… ever since kindergarten when she ratted me out for “letting out the hamster” when she had been the one to do it, I had just been standing there. She’s only gotten worse since we’ve gotten older though. I remember when I had been dating Blake, she had CONSTANTLY flirted with him. And when he completely ignored her, she toyed with Alen, which was something I would NEVER forgive, even if he said he was fine and that it had never been anything to begin with.
I couldn’t worry about that now though, it was done and over with. What I had to worry about now was how to avoid Blake. I didn’t want to talk to him, no matter what,. It’s not like there was anything to say any way.
I started to run down the hall. At least if I hurried I would be able to avoid most of the between class rush and get to my advanced Latin class sooner, where Kelly and Jay-Jay would be, and I knew I could count on them to cheer me up. Plus, running always made me feel better, even if it was just a fast jog.
“Jamison Violet Sinclair.”
*shit* I turned around to see Witchy-Wormwood at the other end of the hallway I had just turned in to. I skidded to a stop. “Yes, Mrs. Wormwood???” I said, plastering a fake smile onto my face. “Is there anything I can help my *wonderful* principal with today???”
“You could start by telling me where the fire is.” She glared at me with her dark, beady eyes and all I could think of was the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz.
“Oh, there is no fire, Mrs. Wormwood… Well at least not that I know of.”
“Then why on earth were you running?”
“Oh… I’m sorry I’m just in a hurry to get to my next class…” I forced myself to look as apologetic as possible. Even though I really didn’t care whether she had caught me or not, I just didn’t want detention.
She stepped closer. “Really? Well it was to my understanding that you have no misgivings about being late, as you usually are.” She glared at me. “And it would also appear that you HAVE no reason to be in a hurry since classes haven’t even released students yet.
“Well you see,” I said as I put my hand over most of my face for dramatic effect. “I have a terrible headache and with all of the noise that is usually made by the other students switching classes, it would get even worse. And I wouldn’t want that since I don’t want to miss any of my classes.” I had her, I could see her shoulders relax slightly.
“Fine then, Miss Sinclair. But don’t let it happen again!” she said fiercely. She turned quickly and walked in the other direction.
I quickly turned and walked yet again in the direction of the locker hall, and allowed myself to smile. It was horrible to manipulate people in such a way, but it HAD gotten me out of detention… plenty of times. But I hadn’t really lied about the head ache. Natasha’s annoying jabbering had made my skull want to burst. I picked up my pace, but kept it at a walk. I doubted I could get out of trouble twice in a row.
As I walked into the empty locker hall I noticed something small and dark dart into one of the small alcoves that held benches where people could sit. Cautiously I crept up to the alcove and peered in under the bench. *Crap* “Beast!!!” My ever adorable smallish black and white cat was crouching under the low bench. “What on EARTH are you doing here!!!” I reached under and pulled him out holding him away from me with two hands and gave him a serious look. “Well… do I get an answer or not!?!”
“Meow.”
I sighed. “Yeah, great excuse. Exactly what I thought,” I said sarcastically.
He just looked at me with bright green eyes.
“Listen you crazy cat, you have to get out of here… like NOW… BEFORE you get me suspended.” I set him down and glared at him hoping it would scare him away… heh yea right.
“Meow.” He just sat down at my feet, not moving an centimeter from where I put him down.
“NO, you’re NOT giving me that “meow” crap. You need to STOP doing this, remember the LAST 3 times you did this?!? YOU GOT ME SUSPENDED FOR A WEEK! And you came pretty darn close 2 OTHER times!”
“Meow.”
“Would you STOP that!!!” I was practically yelling. “GO HOME.” I glared at him and pointed in the direction of home.
“Meow.” This time he stood up and walked away, but not in the direction I was pointing. I sighed and just let him go, as long as no one saw him near me I couldn’t get in trouble right?
I could hear kids getting closer to the locker hall. Hopefully he would just leave… even though I doubted that he actually would. It’s not like he ever listened to me any other time, why would he bother to start now.
I picked up my things from the ground and went to my locker to swap them out. As I was about to shut my locker door my phone vibrated in my pocket.
From: Alen
Sooo… do you have any idea on why Beast is here at school??? I just saw him over by the language building…
I laughed… I knew he wouldn’t listen to me, but hey he was a cat… he probably didn’t even understand me.
To: Alen
Don’t ask me : ) the weirdo must be stalking me, he was just at my locker. I yelled at him and told him to go home… not like I expected him to listen, but I swear if he gets me suspended again, he’s sooo gonna be dog food.
From: Alen
Awe you don’t mean that : ). But your right, even if he isn’t with you, if she recognizes him she will suspend you for sure, since you know it’s her favorite pastime haha. But I’ll see you later, good luck in Latin, there’s a sub.
I put away my phone and headed for class, looking forward to the NOTHING I would be doing since the sub probably didn’t even know Latin. They usually didn’t.

haha so that one was really long... just over 6 pages when i took it from word. hopefully it wont be too long before i finnish another one, ive been trying to keep up with this, a little more.
