Big Change
6:00 p.m.
"Oh darn!" Tooth whispered to herself as her books fell on the floor. The principal left her a lot of tasks to do that's why she's still in school at this time.
Tooth picked up all the books and carried them towards the principal's office. She was about to open the door but she can't reach the doorknob because the books were so heavy. Suddenly, the door opened and to her surprise, it was Jack.
"Jack?" ' What's he doing here by this time?' Tooth asked herself.
"Tooth? What are you still doing here? It's already 6 in the evening!"Jack asked Tooth with a very confused face.
Tooth was about to answer but the principal talked. "Don't worry Jack. I asked her to do things." The principal said with an evil smirk. Jack looked at him angrily.
"Here are the books you asked for, sir Pitchiner." Tooth said as she walked slowly trying to find her balance.
"Here. Let me help you." Jack said as he helped Tooth carry the books. "Thanks." Tooth replied softly.
Then they placed the books above the table. "Thank you Miss Toothiana." Pitch said with a smile. "You may now go home." He continued.
"I'll walk you home." Jack said to her. Tooth was shocked that Jack was being concerned to her. "Thanks Jack but I'm fine." Tooth replied with a tiny smile. "But it's so dark now. There might be danger waiting for you outside." Jack's face became serious.
Pitch just smiled loving on what he's seeing. "Go on Miss Toothiana. Its better that Jack will be there… Just in case you'll meet danger outside…"
Tooth just nodded. Jack looked at Pitch angrily. Pitch just smiled at him which made Jack angrier. Toothiana exited from the room and Jack just followed.
While they were walking through the corridors, Tooth's heart throbbed faster . 'Why was he concerned? I'm just a nobody to him right?' She kept on asking herself.
When they were outside the school, Tooth hugged herself because the cold wind was kissing her. Jack removed his blue jacket and gave it to Tooth. "Here." He said to her.
"You sure? It's so cold and your white shirt is so thin…" Tooth said… Jack just smiled at her. Tooth then accepted it and wore it.
Then they continued walking.
"I know my uncle was giving you a lot of tasks… coz he likes making people suffer y'know? So I'm really sorry about that…" Jack said. Tooth stopped.
"Your uncle?" Tooth asked like it was so unbelievable.
"Yeah… Pitch…He- he's my uncle…" Jack replied. Then they continued to walk.
"Oh, well I'm actually used of him giving me a lot of tasks." Tooth joked and smiled at him. Jack just let out a small laugh. And she saw his teeth again. She blushed. 'Urgh! Those teeth again! So white!' Tooth thought.
Suddenly…. "Give me your wallet!" A guy with a mask said while holding Tooth's hand and a gun near her head. Tooth internally panicked.
"Hey! Let her go!" Jack shouted to the guy. Tooth was sweating already. She didn't know what to do. And she was being hurt by the man's strong grip.
Jack tried to go near her. "Don't move! Or I'll shoot her!" The guy said.
Flashback…
"Don't move! Calm down. Everything will be fine. I promise."
"But I'm scared Jack!"
"Don't be."
"The wind's so strong Jack! Help me!"
"I will. Just don't panic."
"Help me Jack!"
Hey! Snap out of it!
"Jack! Help me!" Tooth shouted. "Shut up or I'll shoot you!" The guy said angrily. Tooth was already crying. Her face was so afraid on what the guy can do.
Jack also didn't know what to do. He can't even move. 'Are you kidding me? Not this again. Why do these things keep on happening to me?' Jack thought.
Then he looked at the moon. It was so big, and it was so bright. It seemed to, chase the darkness away. Jack stopped moving.
The guy was confused why he stopped. 'What's he planning?'
Then Jack quickly kicked the guy's right leg and punched his left arm until the guy was knocked down to the ground. Jack found hard time breathing. He was shocked on what he did. His knuckles hurt a little. Tooth was shocked too… She didn't know Jack had the ability…
Jack grabbed her hands and ran away from the guy. They were both scared. The ran and ran until the guy was nowhere to be seen.
Then they both stopped and breathed slowly.
"You okay?" Jack asked Tooth. "Yeah… I- I'm…"
Jack's eyes grew bigger as Tooth hugged him. Tooth was crying on his shoulders.
"I- I didn't know w- what to- to do… I thought I- I was going to- to die… I- I was about to lose my life! I- I was s- so a-afraid on w-what will h-happ-happen J-Jack I…"
Jack hugged her back. "You're okay now. You're safe…" Jack whispered to her. He wiped the tears on her eyes and helped her stand.
"Thank you Jack. For saving me." Tooth said with a smile.
"Heh… well good thing I walked with you "Jack joked to make her feel a little better. Tooth giggled.
"Yeah… well, I owe you one, Jack." Tooth replied.
"It's nothing Tooth." Then they both continued to walk to Tooth's house.
Tooth was blushing. She hugged her and he hugged her back. The distance was closer compared before. It was like the most horrible but happiest night ever. Tooth kept on walking behind Jack without even looking on where she's going. Jack stopped and because Tooth wasn't looking… she bumped at his back.
"Oooppss… sorry…" Tooth said and tried to see why he stopped. Jack just laughed.
"We're here." Jack said. "Good night Tooth."
Those words made Tooth smile. And it wasn't just an ordinary smile. It was prettier than her past smiles he had seen. And he liked it.
"Good night too Jack. See you tomorrow!" Tooth said and ran to the door of their house. Jack waved and walked away.
They both sighed and thought… 'What a night!'
