Okay so I thought sense I wrote such a crappy and short chapter yesterday I would upload another one so soon! Yay! So enjoy this chapter and tell me what you think!
Mr. Jantz took attendance then addressed the class, "Okay yesterday you learned about nuclear weapons and what they can do if not used properly. That is why only advanced students can handle them. Today we will learn about what nuclear weapons can do when used correctly. Remember at the end of the semester I will take the top two students and they will have the privilege of building a nuclear weapon."
That made my skin crawl. Of course I already knew a fair amount about nuclear weapons, most heroes did, but the thought of villains knowing this stuff freaked me out a bit. I knew that criminals had access to all this stuff, but it was still unnerving that they taught it to teenagers.
Dean laughed, "One of those spots is mine. I have a 103% in this class, plus I work with a guy that invents new nuclear bombs."
Dean wasn't bragging, I could tell that. I knew that he didn't have a good relationship with his master and he wanted to prove to his master he was worth something. I liked Dean, he was laid back and he seemed really smart. But he was going to end a really good villain. One that I would probably have to take down one day. That is if I ever get out of this sticky situation.
"How do you have 103% in this class?"
"I did some extra credit."
"Makes sense."
"Pay attention you two," Mr. Jantz yelled at us, "Dean I expect you to teach the new student to behave in class. Do you want me to call your master?"
"No, sir," Dean said and bowed his head in shame. I was afraid that he was mad, but then I saw that he was hiding a smile.
Jinx spared at few glances back at me a couple of times, but she mostly let me talk and interact with Dean by myself. Mr. Jantz continued to talk and lecture the class, but I was messing around with Dean. I was completely caught off guard when he called on me to answer a question. Luckily Batman had been through all of this with me before so I knew what I was doing.
"You think you're all that don't you?" Mr. Jantz said to me as I finished writing down my answer on the board.
"Oh God, not again," This was the last thing I needed-another Mrs. Sand, "No, I just answered you question." I responded.
"How did you know this? You talked all period." He gave me this look.
I sighed, "I knew this from before. If you think about it it's not that difficult." I have no idea why I said the last part. It just came out. I regretted it as soon as I said it though.
Mr. Jantz was getting mad, "Well then, maybe I should just call Slade and let him know what you have been up to?"
"Go ahead! I'm already screwed, I'm sure you can't do anything that would make it worse. But if you want you could put in a good word for me and that might help." I said and shrugged.
"I want to see you after school." Mr. Jantz said and turned around thinking that this conversation was over. But it wasn't.
"Umm, actually I have to meet Mr. Knapp after school."
"Then I will see you after you meeting with Mr. Knapp. I will call Slade and let him know where you will be."
"Ok." I took my seat and whispered to Dean, "I am so screw Slade is going to kill me, literally."
"Don't forget your heart to heat with him tonight!" Dean giggled.
My jaw dropped. I had forgotten all about that. That was going to be the worst part of tonight. I can take the beating ,the starvation, the isolation, but this heart to heart was going to be hell. How, after all that happened today, how pissed he's going be at me, am I going to bring up that subject. I could just lie and say that I did talk to him and make up his side of the conversation, but the teacher for that class is Slade's master and Slade's master is bound to talk to Slade. There was no way out of this.
When the bell rang, Dean sped out of the door. I slowly got up, still wrapped in all my thoughts. Jinx came up to my side shaking her head, "Trouble just finds you. It just finds you." Jinx said, she seemed shocked.
"Hey, but really it's not my fault." I said, not believing it.
"Sure," Jinx cracked a smile. Believe it or not, I really am cute and I get most people to smile without even trying.
"Oh," I said remember the letter, "Here, the letter."
"Ok, I will get it to him as soon as possible. We have one class left. Business.
"That sounds like fun." I mumbled.
My next class went by slowly, uneventful. I was thankful for that. It was about time that I had a class that didn't go horribly wrong. Even though most the time my classes when horribly wrong, it was because I opened up my big mouth. When the bell finally rang I slowly got up, I didn't want to go make up the course for Mr. Knapp, it didn't sound fun at all. And Slade told me not to be late, but I'm sure he heard that I had to stay after to finish the course.
Jinx got up and walked out with me. We walked to her locker in silence. The teachers motering the hallways gave me dirty looks. I didn't make a very good impression, but oh well. I didn't want to here anyways. As Jinx threw her books into the locker I realized that she didn't work for anyone. So where did she live?
"Jinx," I asked, "Where did you go?"
She gave me a strange look.
"I mean, you don't work for anyone, so where do you live?'
"Oh, umm, the school has dormitories that the students can stay in when they don't have people to work for. But like once every month villains come here and look for apprentices. Sometimes kids gat taken always across the country."
"Oh, I see." I said.
"Yeah, you have to go to the gym to make up the course from this morning. I'll walk with you."
Thanks for reading please review!
