Chapter Two
Caleb found himself think about Jayla as he spoke to everyone in the group. Jayla found herself looking at him. She was still fidgeting just because she couldn't help it. She hadn't taken her meds that morning and that wasn't working out for her so well at the moment. Aura was still playing with the soccer ball. Addison was still sitting small and quietly not wanting to be noticed. Jinx was unable to sit still as well.
"Um who are you", asked Jayla.
"My name is Caleb Danvers", said Caleb.
"Oh I'm Jayla Lee, the small black haired girl is Addison, the one who can't sit any longer is Jinx Barlow and the last one is Aura Peterson", said Jayla.
"Nice meeting all of you. I will be showing you around today and feel free anytime after this to ask my friends or me if you ever need help. We will almost always be available for you to ask questions to and we will answer them to the best of our ability", said Caleb.
Caleb noticed that Jayla had quit paying attention altogether. She wasn't really sitting still either she looked like she was suffering a severe form of ADHD. She wasn't focusing or sitting still very well.
"Can we just go", asked Jinx, who was feeling a mite impatient.
"Yes if you will follow me", said Caleb.
Caleb took them to their next class, which they had with him and his group of friends. Caleb kept thinking about Jayla. She was something different with the short brown hair with blue tips. She was a beautiful girl to him, but that was him. Caleb showed all of the girls' seats in the room. Jayla was sitting fairly close to himself and Pogue.
Pogue was sitting in the room looking depressed. He used to have the class with Kate but she left so now he was on his own. Pogue looked up to see Caleb come in with the new students. One of the students caught his eye. She was a small little thing with long black hair and green eyes. Pogue was reminded of a cat. He watched her walk she was tiny and graceful. She seemed shy and quiet to him to nothing like Kate. Caleb went up and took his seat next to Pogue.
"Who are they?" asked Pogue.
"The one with blue tips is Jayla, the other punk girl is Jinx, the one with the soccer ball is Aura, and the small one is Addison", said Caleb.
"Oh", said Pogue.
"Yeah, they are nice one is extremely ADHD though", said Caleb.
The class started, so Pogue and Caleb shut their mouths and listened to the teacher speak about the lesson for the day. Jayla couldn't sit still. She definitely was in need of medication for her ADHD. Addison leaned over toward Jayla.
"Jayla, didn't you take your Ritalin this morning?" said Addison quietly.
"I forgot", said Jayla trying to be quiet.
Caleb watched Jayla squirm in her seat throughout the class period. The teacher didn't say anything to her about it so they had been informed ahead a time that Jayla was ADHD. Pogue found his attention mostly on Addison through the class period that he forgot to listen to the teacher. He found her to be a beautiful girl and he wasn't sure what to do. Addison looked up to see Pogue staring at her. She was a little frightened by him because she didn't know him.
"Jinx", said Addison desperately.
"What?" asked Jinx?
"He keeps staring at me", said Addison.
"You want me to beat him up for you?" asked Jinx.
"I don't know", said Addison.
Aura looked at the conversation between her friends and decided to get in on it. She was bored and she had her soccer ball going on her knee.
"What's going on?" asked Aura.
"Guy is looking at our friend Addie here", said Jinx.
"You okay Addie?" asked Aura.
"I don't know", said Addison.
Jayla wasn't paying attention again her mind was elsewhere. No one could be certain where elsewhere was but that was where it was. She couldn't focus for long periods at all. Tyler found himself staring at the girl with the soccer ball. She was amazing to him. He was amazed at the color of her hair. It was red and not a bad red head color but a vibrant, lively one. He didn't know why he was even thinking any of that at all. Tyler looked over to Reid to make sure that he hadn't noticed.
Tyler noticed that Reid was too busy staring at a girl himself to even notice what Tyler was doing. Reid was staring at Jinx; something about her had caught his attention which was more than most people got from him lately. Thought that she was gorgeous. And he wasn't sure why she wasn't like anyone he'd ever seen before in his life.
" Tyler", said Reid.
"What?" asked Tyler?
"Who is that?" asked Reid looking at Jinx.
"No idea dude", Said Tyler.
The bell rang and the group head out to the commons. Caleb came out last with all four girls with him. Reid, Tyler, and Pogue all ended up staring at them for a minute. Caleb was surprised that he had been able to keep his eyes in his head until then. Pogue's attention was on Addison. Reid's attention was on Jinx. And Tyler's attention was Aura. Caleb found most of his attention on Jayla.
"Guys, this is Jayla Lee, Addison Thoms, Jinx Barlow, and Aura Peterson", said Caleb.
