Joan finally got to her locker after last period. She was glad it was a Friday afternoon as she had been extremely tired and grumpy throughout the week. Especially at Grace and Adam.
Joan yanked her locker open and several things dropped right out of the locker landing on the floor at her feet.
"Great. Just great" Joan said sarcastically to no one as she bent down to pick everything up off the ground. As she lifted up her AP Chem. Text Book she discovered a small package that didn't belong to her. Well, that's what she thought until she saw a nametag on it that read: 'To Jane'.
At that moment she realised who it was from so she shoved it into her bag along with all of her other books and left slamming her locker behind her.
The ride home with her mother and younger brother Luke was extremely uneventful.
"How was your day at school sweetie?" ask Joan's mother Helen Giradi, school secretary and art teacher.
"Fine" she grunted as she turned to look out the window of the car.
"Joan had a big row with Grace and Adam today mom" Luke said pleased with himself for paying attention to something other than science for once.
"How did you know about that Geek Boy?" Joan asked turning around to the back of the car to shoot Luke some death stares.
"The whole school knows Joan. It was pretty loud. I don't know how you all survived AP Chem. together with out ripping out each others throats"
"Joan honey, is this true?" Her mother asked as they pulled into the driveway and killed the engine but it was to late. Joan was already out of the car and inside the house banging the door behind her and racing upstairs.
"Joan, You right?" asked Joan's older brother Kevin as she ran up the stairs and slammed the door shut just as Luke and Helen entered the house.
"I swear I didn't do anything" said Kevin and with that he wheeled off into the kitchen.
"I'll go check up on her." Helen decided out loud as she slowly walked up the stairs and made her way towards Joan's door. Tapping lightly she spoke.
"Joan? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I just need to be left alone for a while." Joan replied to her mother while attempting to fight back the tears and anguish.
"Okay." And with that Joan could hear her mother's foot steps fade away. Once she could no longer hear her mother's footsteps – or anyone else's she grabbed the package out of her bag and started to unwrap it. Intrigued to know it's contents.
