Chapter Three
Joe POV
I walked into my Sophmore class and saw every seat taken except one. Jessica was not here in the classroom on her first day. I rolled my eyes someone wants to clean dishes. I turned to the bored and started the lecture. "Today class we will be learning about..."
Half way through the class period a security gaurd came through the door. "We found one of your students in the hallway," he pushed Jessica through. Arms crossed eyes glaring.
I smacked my lips, oh am I going to have fun with this. "Okay thank you," I said. He left and Jessica stood there. I pulled her in front of the class and said "Ladies this is our new student Jessica Monroe..." Jessica's eyes went wide open while the rest of the class stared into confusion. "Now did I ever tell you guys what happens when you try skipping my class?"
The class shook their heads.
I pulled Jessica into a cold hard seat that was underneath the airducts. "You sit there and get a detention." I looked at Jessica "so during lunch you get to clap the earasers and clean the bored." I turned to the front of the room "I dare you to miss my class." I looked at the classroom, I think they were shivering more than Jessica was.
Jessica POV
I rubbed my arms and tried to pay attention to what he was saying. Damn I am so going to get him back for this. If he thinks little threats like these is going to scare me than he is wrong. I watched the class leave while my butt was frozen to the chair.
He came up to me with two earsers. For a great school they couldn't update their blackboards to white boards. I got up and started clapping the earasers while he started doing lesson plans.
Ten minutes later I inhaled dust by accident and started coughing. Really hard. I dropped the earasers and started looking in my bag. My lungs felt like they were being constricted by a snake. I finally found my inhaler and pushed the medicine into my body. I wiped my face feeling better I turned around seeing him. He was standing over me with a worried expression on his face.
"Are you okay?" he asked. He held his hand to me, I swiped it away.
"I'm fine," I said. I got up, bt tumbled back feeling dizzy. I felt a hand on my back leading me to a better chair than I was before. I sat down and relized I was sitting in his chair.
"Are you sure?" I ignored him by wrapping my arms around my legs. He sat on the desk "why didn't no one mention you had asthma to me?"
"Because it doesn't concern you."
The worried expression disappeared with a glare. "As far as I'm concerned it is for the semester."
I put my head in my lap and tightned my arms. I'll be shipped off to another annoying relative I don't like.
I heard him go through his drawers. He dropped something on the desk. A bag of potatoe chips and a can of soda. "Eat this while I finish my work."
"Not hungry."
He sighed "fine." He went to another desk and finished it there.
I looked at the food and my stomanch growled. I rolled my eyes and took the potatoe chips and started eating. I saw him look up and I swalloed a chip. "This doesn't mean I'm going to be nice to you."
He went back to his work, I saw a smile crawl on his face. "I wouldn't expect anything more."
Joe POV
I watched Jessica leave for her next class, hopefully she would have gone to her class this time. I went through the rest of the day with my classes as it normally is. After Cov Ops2 was done Cammie came up to my desk. "So how are things going?"
I shrugged "Not much better than it was yesterday."
Cammie nodded "I'm sure she'll warm up to you."
I frowned "did your mom tell you to tell me that?"
Cammie looked her away "maybe," she said slowly.
"How much did she pay you?"
Cocking her head to the side she said "thirty dollars and a pack of peanut m&ms."
I searched for my wallet and pulled out a fifty. "Take this and make sure Jessica doesn't do anything stupid."
She looked at that fifty in my hand for a good long time. "I can't."
"Why?"
"Because I'm the first to sneak out of the school."
I smirked. "Fine take this and never take another bribe from your mom that concerns me."
Cammie shook her head "I can't. She gave me the peanut m&ms so I didn't tke bribes from you."
Bex came up from behind her and snatched the money. "She didn't bribe," she shrugged. She held up the money to the light, I heard a wierd laugh come from her. "Boy am I getting a new pair of shoes with these." She walked off with my money and not saying anything else.
Cammie turned back toward me "Macy is rubbing off on her." We both started laughing. I got up and grabbed my stuff.
"Should I be afraid to go up and see some disater had happen."
Cammie shook her head "give her a chance she may surprise you." I looked at her with one eyebrow up. Cammie shrugged "mom told me to tell you that too."
Jessica POV
I was walking down the main hall when I saw the mirror elevator door slide open. I hide behind a corner seeing Cammie and him come out. They were laughing and smirking.
Than Headmistress Morgan came out of the libary walking with a woman who almost like her but younger. I saw her sneak behind him and jump on his back. When he saw it was her they kissed.
I backed up trying to blend into the halls shadows. I saw him hug her tightly and laugh at something Cammie said. My lungs felt constricted again but it wasn't from an asthma attack. It was from something else but I didn't know what. All I thought was he didn't know anything about me or knew he had a daughter and here he was laughing, hugging, kissing like he had a family on his own and it didn't include me.
