Spencer Academy, the picture of perfection. Inside of it on the other hand is a little different. I, Jennifer Jacobson, JJ for short, sat in the back row as the entire class was cracking up laughing. "Mr. Garwin, settle down please, and Ms. O' Donnel don't provoke Mr. Garwin." Said the teacher who was obviously getting annoyed. My roommate, Kiley O' Donnel, was smirking at the teacher's remark. She was a one of my only friends at Spencer. To give a layout, Kiley sat next to me and Reid Garwin sat two rows in front of us. Today Reid's smart-ass comment consisted of the fact that he actually knew who Hitler was. Of course I couldn't blame him for being a little cut off. I mean history isn't exactly…um, attention getting.
"Don't worry, sir, she'll never do it again." Said Reid. How he got that idea I have no clue considering he hadn't noticed us in the two days we've been here until now. Anybody controlling Kiley would be like trying to catch the wind in your hand, impossible. He was looking at Kiley with a smirk, the kind that says, "I want that". I rolled my eyes and then went back to entertaining myself with the doodle on my paper. Kiley looked at my paper and whispered "What cha drawing?" with a grin, "wow, not bad." She commented seeing the drawing. It was a drawing of a simple book, nothing amazing. I had dreamt about it and got bored so I had drawn it.
I noticed out of nowhere a note being handed to Kiley. "What's it say?" I asked. She handed it to me and I read it. 'Kiley, come to Nicky's with us. Bring your friend, I saw Caleb checking her out. -Reid.' I looked at Kiley with my eyes huge. "Well, you coming?" she asked. I shook my head and she raised her eyebrows, "Why not?"
"Because I haven't got anything to wear." I whispered. "Have you ever noticed you talk all proper when you're nervous?" she said smirking. I flipped her off and then went back to my drawing.
When the bell rang I went to leave as fast as I could but Reid caught up with us anyway. "So, are you ladies coming?" he said putting his arm around Kiley's shoulder. She didn't protest which I found funny.
"Well, I know I am but JJ's got cold feet." Said Kiley. I could have killed her then and there.
"Oh, so you like Caleb back. I'll remember to tell him that." Said Reid with a smirk. Kiley nodded and then gave me a grin. "See this is why I don't like it when you have a boyfriend, you always gang up on me!" I said in mock outrage. Kiley just smirked some more and didn't correct me. Well neither did Reid, which I found even more interesting. Just as we went to split up and go to our dorms all my notebooks fell out of my hands. The one with the drawing skidded to a stop, wide open, in front of Reid. He saw the drawing and said "Nice…" and then stopped. "Where have you seen this book before?" he said in a way that made me a little afraid.
"In a dream I had. Why?" I said, feeling a bit like a dork for drawing something I dreamed about. "Nothing." He said and handed it back to me. "Catch you guys at Nicky's." he said and then headed off to his dorm. "He's an odd one, that's for sure." I said when he was out of hearing distance.
"And you ain't?" said Kiley as we got to our room. I sat down on the bed cross-legged and didn't bother retorting. "Why'd he flip out about my drawing anyway?" I asked.
"I don't know,
maybe he's dreamed about it to." Said Kiley, "I don't think
it's something to worry about."
"You never think anything is
something to worry about." I mumbled. She had already started
looking for something to wear. She was acting pretty frantic which
amused me dearly.
"Ha, I bet you think this is hilarious. Well keep going and I wont help you find something to wear." She said with a grin.
"What do you mean? I'm not going." I said. "Wanna bet on that?" she said. I shook my head and then looked at my feet. " I didn't think so." She said. "Are you aware that I hate you?" I said. She nodded and then said, "Aha!" and threw her outfit on the bed. "I think you made a record, you beat your last time by a whole minute!" I said sarcastically. "Shut up." She said. Then she started digging through my drawers. "Don't …Never mind." I said as she opened my top drawer.
