Virgil and Stephanie talked in the commons area of the school when they saw Zeke and Jeanette ride up. Jeanette got off the bike then said something to zeke who said something back. She turned around towards him before he turned her back around. He whispered something into her ear and she nodded. She finally started walking slowly towards them. When she got there Stephanie said "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." she said and walked towards the school door. Zeke, Charlie, Virgil, And Stephanie caught up with her.
They were walking down the hallway when Derek and the rest of his jock friends saw them. The boys were horsing around. Derek whistled at her and Zeke walked closer to her. "Just keep walking. Ignore them." Jeanette nodded and kept walking. "What's the matter baby I get no love." Derek yelled. "Watch it Derek," Zeke yelled and his crew all oohed. "Sorry I didn't mean to upset you I'll leave you alone. He said insincerely. "By the way Jeanette. I hope we can finish our conversation later tonight." He winked at her and zeke jumped at him. Virgil and Charlie held zeke back. "He's not worth it man he's not worth it man." Virgil said. "See you later Jeanette." Derek said. She shrunk back into the group. He smiled and walked away. "Ooh he just gets on my nerves." Zeke said and punched the locker."it is alright man." Charlie said quietly.
"Hey Virgil." Becca said and walked up to hi. He brushed past her as did the rest of the group. She ran back up to them. "Hi guys." Becca said full of pep. No one said anything back. "Go ask your brother he would know." Virgil said his voice peppered with bitterness. "What are you talking about?" "What you don't know? You didn't here about what your brother did to Jeanette. He... You know what go ask your brother. I don't know why I'm wasting my time on you Beauregard" Virgil walked off. "Wait you guys." Becca said. Zeke pushed her against a locker. "Just stay away from us. If one of you Beauregard's so much as look at us I swear I will weld you to the ceiling and gut you with my Harley got that." becca nodded tears in her eyes. "Good. Now run along before something bad happens to you." He moved and she ran away crying. Derek came up to him. "What'd you do to my sister?" Zeke brushed him off and ran to find Jeanette who had went off with Virgil
"What'd I miss" Zeke asked when he found him. "And that's the end of that." Jeanette said. "End of what?" He asked and Virgil said. "Jeanette said she wants to walk by her self and we don't want her to." "Derek doesn't have any classes near here. They are on the other side of campus. Please big brother." she did a puppy dog face. "Okay." "Thank you." She kissed him on the cheek. She ran off to her class and zeke stood there dazed.
Jeanette's POV
I was walking to my class when Derek came out of no where. "Hey Jeanette." He said and pushed me against his locker. He held me down with his body and flash backs flooded my memory. I tried to kick but he held me still. A choked noise came out of my mouth. He laughed and whispered in my ear "you feel that"I felt it alright. It was sticking me in the waist. "Yeah" was all I could manage. He rubbed his body up against mine. It was touching me in places I didn't like. "Oh yeah tell Zeke this was for him and if he ever messes with becca again I'll blow his and your # head off. " He laughed maliciously and pushed off of me. Right when zeke was coming around the hallway. "Nice talking to you." he said and walked away. I slid down the locker trying to decipher what he said. Zeke sat down next to me. "What'd he do?" "He... never mind I gotta go." I looked at my watch. If I left now I wouldn't be lat. I got up and started walking away. Zeke jogged up next to me. "You sure you want to go?" he said and I nodded and pointed down the hall. "Good bye zeke." I walked to the door. He stood there watching me as I left. "Go to class Zeke." I said and he stared for one minute longer before leaving. he kept turning around to make sure I made it to class. He mumbled something under his breath before saying. "I love you Jeanette." he ran out the door and to his next class leaving me in the middle of the hallway shocked.
