Sorry for not updating for a while. I was on March Break and only had access to my iPod. Enjoy chapter 2! There maybe some errors I will fix when I have a computer at hand.

"So this is the courtyard." You say to jack. He looks around

"it's a nice place, but it's missing one thing."

"What?"

"The sound of laughter." He says, turning back and smiling at you. You look away, not wanting him to see your face starting to turn red.

"Well, most of the people here are quite up tight and only smile at the most petty things." You answer. Jack sighs with a melancholy expression on his face.

"That's a shame. I was hoping that they would be more fun than that. I wonder if I could change their attitudes around a bit."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll see."

"Since you're new here, I'll point out the senpais and kouhais that you should be wary of." You say. Since you two were directly by the fountain, the sound of water covered your voices to any eavesdroppers nearby.

"The girl over there, with blonde highlights, is a senior. She practically rules the school and has lots of...lackeys, I would say, from different grades, boys and girls. She's on almost every boys' hit list."

"Hmm. Interesting... Anyone else?" "That guy over there, in the shade dressed in all black? That's Pitch. Well his nickname's Pitch. No one knows his real name and no one probably ever will." You look at Jack and see that he is staring at another girl with multicoloured hair.

"Oh, that's Toothiana. I fairly know her well. She's my friend."

"Mind if you introduce me to her sometime?"

"Sure. Later though since she looks busy."

"Great."

"There's no one else worth mentioning to you here, so let's move on."

"Ok." Jack does his award winning smile at you again and your stomach couldn't help but do a little flip.

"Let's go." You grab his wrist and drag him along forcefully to the next place.

"Here is the sports area. Our school has a wide variety of sports fields, including a track, a swimming pool, a football field, a ski hill, and a baseball diamond." You say all in one breath.

"Woah there, chillax for a minute. You just sounded like an infomercial there." Jack laughed.

"I couldn't help it." You said, starting to turn red again. "This is one of the places that have things worth talking about."

"Haha that's all right. You did pretty much tell me about everything. I'm interested in the pool, maybe we should go swimming together sometime."

"Ehh?!" You exclaim "us?"

"Yeah. Why not? And in the summer we can go to the beach." Jack said, starting to get excited. "And we can go skiing too."

"Maybe. But you'll have to remind me about all of this. I have a bad memory, ya know." You said teasingly, punching his arm lightly.

He winked. "I sure will."

The bell for the end of break rang

"Well, time to go back to class." You say, and you start heading back.

"Wait for me, [your name]"

You turn around.

"Why? Go to your class."

"I have the same classes as you."

"...What?"

"Here. I'll show you."

Jack dug around in his bag and took out a crumpled sheet of paper that was supposed to be his timetable. "Here. Take a look." He holds it out to you. You take it gingerly from his hands and straighten it out to study it.

"...oh."

"See? I was right."

You stood there, staring at the timetable in your hands. -how? How is this possible? How can Jack, of all people have the exact same schedule as me?- you think to yourself in your head.

"Fine. Follow me" you say, exasperated.

"Yay! [your name] is with me for the rest of the year! I'll get to see [your name] every day!"

"..."

Finally, school was over and you got to go home. "Aish. One day with jack is tiring." You think to your self.

"[yourname]! Wait for me!" You hear a voice behind you approaching you.

"Huh?" You turn around and there is Jack again, running to you with his arms wide open ready to hug you.

"Woah there." You quickly try to speed walk away. But you didn't walk away in time and you could feel Jack's hug full on, which was like a tackle. As he hugged you, you lost your balance and tripped.

"Eeeee!" You squeal as you think you're about to fall. But as you thought you were going to hit the ground, you felt a pair of arms grab your waist from behind and save you from falling.
