Passing Notes
Jack doodled little snowflakes on the side of his math work sheet, each one different from the other. Later in the day he had walked into math class not expecting anything interesting. That's when a bright splash of color caught his eye and he turned to find the most peculiar girl he had ever seen. She had amethyst eyes that seemed to shimmer with happiness as she giggled at one of her friend's jokes. Her hair was a wavy brown with rainbow streak which made her stand out (other than the fact that she was wearing the brightest cloths he had ever seen). Without even thinking he walked up to the desk beside her and asked her if he could sit next to her. "S-sure." She stammered and I frowned wondering if she had heard what I had done before and was maybe scared of me.
Damn it Jack, you didn't even know her for five minutes and you already screwed this up! As the class wore on he couldn't stop himself from throwing an occasional glance at the colorful girl. When she got confused at problem she would cock her head to the right and bite her lip which he found amusing. Snap out of it Jack! The sane part of his mind said you've been staring at her for five minutes now she's going to think you're a creep! He quickly snapped his head back to his paper a blush lingering on his face. He hated it when he did that, it was so obvious on his pale skin. Out of the corner of his mind he saw her staring at him, a questioning expression painted on her face. Great she noticed he thought as he internally groaned. Why was suddenly so into this girl out of the sudden?
Trying to make up for the awkward moment Jack took a sheet of paper and quietly ripped a corner off. Trying his best to look casual he wrote her asking if the classes were always this boring. It might be something a normal, sane, newbie might ask so he crumpled it into a ball. Carefully tossing the ball of paper on to her desk. She saw her shudder and frowned. God this girl really hates me. When she looked at me I signaled for her to open the note but she looked shocked. Not wanting to get in trouble I continued doing algebra. When the crumpled paper landed back on my desk I hesitated. I really just wanted to snatch it up and soak up everything she had said to me, but again, that would be uber weird. (Ha-ha don't know where uber came from :/ whatever) So instead of attacking the paper I timidly picked it up and opened the crinkled paper. She had answered a simple reply, to a simple message. I decided that if I didn't make the first move she wasn't going to talk so summing up my courage, I asked her for her name and telling her that mine was Jack
I didn't tell her my last name; she would probably laugh at me. I didn't know why I was so intent on getting to know her, I didn't tend to care about anything, or anyone for that matter. Except for… no I was not going down that road. I couldn't break down, I couldn't remember. As the paper ball again landed on my desk I opened it 'This may sound weird, but my name is Tooth' I smiled, Tooth, what an interesting name for an interesting girl. I looked over at her by she was staring at her worksheet like it was the most important thing in the world, a blush on her bronze skin. She was embarrassed, she thought the trickster Jack was going to laugh at her. Well she was wrong.
Jack laid the paper down and scribbled 'Its ok, my last name is Frost. You know, like the old legend. I get teased for that a lot.' Then he carefully crumpled it back into a ball and threw it over. Hopefully this would work.
Tooth glanced up at the ball at her desk again but she noticed Mrs. Lachesis coming over to check that everyone had done the algebra packets so I stuffed the paper ball into my backpack and scribbled down a couple of possibly wrong answers. Ugh what's wrong with me! I just see a random cute guy and just fall head over heels for him! I shake it off and put on a look of deep concentration as Mrs. Lachesis comes past me. If this keeps up my grades are going to pay. And so am I.
As soon as the bell rings I put my paper in my binder and stuff it into the backpack. I rushed out of the room and sighed. I had my favorite class next, art. There I didn't have to study for any important tests or worry about any boys, I could just express myself white doing what I love. It was my personal little break from life.
I breathed in the smells of clay and fresh paint. I walked up to my seat and grinned at the sight of a fresh, clean canvas and a paint pallet full of just about every color. "Hi tooth!" a musical voice greeted me. I turned to the seat next to me where Rapunzel was sitting next to me in a purple high-low dress with a leather jacket, and flip flops, a wreath of flowers crowning her long braid. "Hey!" I chirped back. We jumped as the sound of a chisel hitting stone was heard. Ever since Mr. Pygmalion had a dream he has worked nonstop every day on thousands of mini sculptures of a beautiful woman. He never told us why though. In fact he never spoke unless necessary. Every day we would come in to the sound of his hammering and would read the instructions on the board to know what our assignments were.
Today we were to sketch and paint our favorite animals in their natural habitat. I started to sketch the body of my humming bird when I started to get goose bumps. I shrugged it off and continued to draw when Jack sat next to me and looked up at the board. So we shared this class too. There goes my Hakuna Matata (ha-ha loin king :3 yea just felt like putting that there). As he started to sketch I returned to my own grumpily. My mood started to lighten up the more time wore on though. It was silent like always so I almost didn't notice his presence except for how cold it was around him. Geese! Does he take baths in ice or something?! I thought as I reached into my backpack for my light blue denim crop jacket and put it on. As I picked my pencil back on I noticed him staring at me, a sad expression on his face. As I looked back at him I couldn't help but feel bad for him and want to help him so I gave him a warm smile. I don't know if I am hallucinating or is his face turning…. Blue? He smiled back and that's when I saw them.
His teeth. Oh his teeth! They were as white as freshly fallen snow and were just perfect! I must have been staring for a while because he nervously laughed "Um is something in my teeth or something?" "Uh n-no it's just t-that, um" I couldn't tell him right? My little obsession for teeth was only something my friends knew. Well that I actually told them, most people found out anyways though. "I-um just wanted to tell you that you have um, great." I said as I felt my face get hot. What did I just do?! "Thanks, I guess." He said turning back to his sketch of a penguin. OhcrudOhcrudOhcrud! I turned back to my sketch as I finished the wings and move to my flower.
There was a soft thud on my desk. I looked at my desk. A crumpled ball with a little crinkled sun drawn it was sitting on my desk. First jack, now Rapunzel, these people are going to get me into deep shit I swear! I figured it was ok to open it since Mr. Pygmalion never paid attention anyways. As it crinkled I saw neat cursive handwriting written in Rapunzel's favorite purple pen. 'Was that a little flirting I saw? Tell me you're not going for jack, are you?' it said. A blush creeped onto my face. Was I? I knew I was attracted to him but did I like him? I pondered this for a moment and wrote back in my magenta felt pen in my bubbly handwriting 'No, he's just new and I thought he needed a friend. I was just embarrassed because I really liked his teeth and was like staring at them and stuff. That's all.' I quickly crumpled the note and tossed it onto Rapunzel's work station.
While I waited for a reply, I started painting my picture. I took a small brush and did little feather-like stokes on the little bird. Switching colors I used pinks, greens, blues, purples, and yellows. The familiar little ball of paper landed on my desk again I out down my brush to open it. 'If you say so!' it read and what I saw after that I blushed so much I swear my face was red. She had drawn a little heart with a T + J = heart on it. Crumpling up the paper I threw her an angry look and stuffed in my back pack. There was no way she was getting this back; it was going straight to the trash. Trying to calm myself down I resumed my work. I grabbed a thin brush and dabbed on some pink. I drew little eye lashes on the humming bird and rinsed it. The bird reminded me of Baby Tooth, her little face glowing with happiness. I picked up the brush again, mixing an amethyst color on my palate. I painted an eye that color and the other one blue to match Baby's.
When the bell rang I quickly grabbed my picture and set it onto the drying rack, grabbed my things and went out with Rapunzel. Putting our stuff back we started to head to lunch. "So," said Rapunzel musingly. "Oh crud" I said, knowing where this conversation was going. "How was Jack?" she said trying to hold back a smile. "Nice and shy like any new kid." I said annoyed. "Well I did see blushes going around so something must have been up." She said prodding me. "Ugh Rapunzel, I already told you, I was embarrassed about the whole teeth thing and that's all." As we approached the lunch room she whispered to me "I know when someone has a crush and Jack was looking a little suspicious to me." And with that she skipped off to the lunch line and left me dead in my tracks. Did she just suggest Jack liked me? No, he was just trying to make friends. Right? She shook the idea off and joined Rapunzel in the line. She was smirking like an idiot and sarcastically said "Mhm just the teeth thing, right?" "Yup." I said trying not to blush. WHY is she doing this to me?! I thought with a groan. "
"'Ey!" said Merida walking up to us. Thank goodness! "Hey Merida!" I said probably smiling like it was nobody's business. "Um, what's wrong with yu'?" she said eying me skeptically "Yu' look lyke yur' drunk. Stop smiling lyke that!" she said sarcastically. 'Ha-ha. Very funny." I said rolling my eyes as I picked up a tray. Astrid came up behind us saying hi and grabbing a tray. I eyed the menu for today "Breaded chicken sandwich, cheese pizza, mini corn dogs, and chili." I said grimacing. "All o' which ar' probably not real." Said Merida. "Sounds good to me." Astrid said picking up a bowl of chili and a sandwich. "Eww," Rapunzel said crinkling her nose "How do you eat this stuff Astrid." Astrid shrugged and picked up a carton of milk. Hesitantly I grabbed a piece of pizza, some fruit, and water and Rapunzel got the same. Merida went for the chili and water. We all walked out of the lunch room and to our normal table on the patio.
We were later joined by Bunny, Sandy, North, and Hiccup. We had a pretty big group and were very close to each other. We started talking about classes but eventually North found a way to change the subject to Christmas and we talked about who's house we were going to have a little Christmas party at. It was always a rotation so North looked at his list "Um… Looks like Tooth will be hosting party." He said beaming. He always got existed about Christmas and as soon as the conversation started he made sure to talk about it all lunch. While North was in an in-depth conversation about the decorating a flash of white caught my eye. I looked around to see where it was until I spotted Jack sitting alone under a tree. Just the sight of it pained me, he had no friends. "Hey guys." I said in the middle about North conversation about how-to-string-stringers-or-something-like-that. "Why don't we sit with Jack," I said pointing my finger towards the snowy haired boy "he's new and doesn't have any friends so it could be nice of us." "Um I don't think that's such a good idea," said Bunny glaring at the boy. "I met em' once today and he was downright dreadful." He said scowling. "Awww, come on Bun!" I said giving him puppy eyes "I'm sure he didn't mean it." Rapunzel was already gathering her things on her tray to move and Bunny sighed "Oh alright!" He said rolling his eyes. I did an internal victory dance as we got ready to move.
When we got close to jack he heard our footsteps but didn't even look up saying "Whoever it is I didn't take your lunch money so go away." "Oh well, we tried." Said Bunny turning around but I grabbed his ear pulling him back with his little complaints. "Jack," I said smiling "I'm Tooth; you're in my Math class remember?" He looked up his face blue again, "O-oh yea. Hi, what can I do for you?" I giggled at the sight "I just wanted to know if we could sit with you." I said hopefully. Smiling at the white headed boy I hoped he would he was so hands- no no no no! Not going to do that again I said to myself, my smile faltering. "Um sure." He said sheepishly smiling. We all sat down and Rapunzel and I sat next to him because he knew us from our classes with him, his face turning bluer with every second. "Um, are you ok? Your face is turning blue." I said warily. "Oh!" he said turning a different shade of blue "Um yea. It's pretty normal for me" I nodded. Then suddenly a gust of cold wind came and instinctively I leaned to him but as soon as I touched him I jumped back "S-sorry." I muttered. Geese he's cold! I thought rubbing my arms; I had goose bumps all over. I shivered and but my crop jacket back on but even that didn't help. I shivered and ate my sandwich listening in on our conversation.
Again, North changes the conversation t Christmas and we were talking about the party. I noticed jack kind of playing with his food so I came up with an idea "Hey Jack you can come to our party, it'll be at my house." I said smiling at his as he looked up at me his face turning blue again. "Tooth!" Bunny yelled looking directly at me in shock. "What?" I said smugly "You guys were all talking about it in front of him so it's only fair." And with that I turned to Jack "what do you say?" "Um, sure!" he said cheerfully "As long as kangaroo over there doesn't object." He hid a smug smile as Bunny burst out "KANGAROO! Listen here mate I am NOT a kangaroo." He said facing Jack. "If you're not a kangaroo," he said getting into the heated conversation "Then what are you?" he said glaring daggers at Bunny. "I'm Bunny, The HUMAN Bunny." He said angrily "People are friends with me." He said hitting home as Jack's trickster face fell replacing it's self with a frown.
Sandy 'whof'ed and tugged on North's pant leg and motioned for him to step in. "Jack, Bunny." He said changing the mood into a cheerful one "This is Christmas we are talking about," and with this he looked at Bunny "It is meant to be shared with everyone." Bunny grumbled and leaned back still a little upset and Jack resumed playing with his food. I could tell that he was hurt by what bunny had said so I put my hand on his shoulder as he looked up with a blue face. "Hey," I said soothingly "It's ok. We're your friends. So, are you going to come or not?" I said a smile tugging on my mouth.
"Um, I guess." He said blankly. My stomach did flips for some unknown reason as I smiled at him. North, getting in yet again into his favorite subject, joyfully turned to jack sand said "Okay now I must tell you about gift rules, da? We each get gist for each other and at the end of the party we hand them out." He smiled and bragged "I always get the best gifts." He said as we all chuckled. North always loved to brag about that. One year I tried to compete with him but boy had I lost. By a lot.
The lunch bell rang and we all got up to put our trays away and head to class. I shivered at a sudden cold gust came over and warmly greeted it with a "Hi Jack!" 'Hey," he said nonchalantly "What class do you have next? You guys are the only people I know so I was just wondering if I had any other classes with you." My face flushed and my cheeks were hot. I knew he probably didn't mean it like he liked me but I couldn't help from my imagination wandering a little. "Um I have Science next." I mumbled. "Oh me too." He said looking everywhere but me. Was he embarrasses by me? My happiness faded, he probably didn't want to hang out with the weird-colorful-tooth-obsessed girl. "Well I guess I can walk with you there then." He said his face turning blue again "Do you think I could sit next to you?" he said as my heart fluttered "I-I mean because I don't know anyone else in that class and-" "Of course!" I said stopping him in mid-sentence. I couldn't help it, I was so excited.
We stopped at our lockers before we went to class. I couldn't wait to learn more about the mysterious snowy haired boy named Jack.
