Selaura, Katyuna and Jessica were at their fencing class. It was Jessica's turn, and she should fight against one of Selaura's old roommates, Jeanette. She was one of the best in fencing in their class. Jessica did her very best, to not get hit. Jeanette was faster than her, and had a better technique. Suddenly did Jessica make Jeanette fall. That normally meant, that she had won, but just as she turned her back on the feline, she suddenly felt an amazing pain in her back, and she felt on the floor. As she turned around, still sitting down, was Jeanette looking down at her.
"Loser." she said and gave an evil smile. Jessica growled at her, she felt embarrassed, as she could hear the public was laughing. Selaura and Katyuna hurried over to her, and wanted to help to get her up, but Jessica took her arms away, and raised herself up.
"Well done today girls. But Miss. Hinrichsen, remember this, neverturn your back at the enemy, cause you never know, what they have in mind." Jessica nodded to her teacher, she was happy that it was her last class for that day.
Later went the girls to their room. Jessica had asked her friends if they wanted to sing with her, to talent show.
"Is the song easy to learn?" asked Katyuna her.
"Yep."
"I don't wanna sing, but I would love to play violin."
"Awesome! We need some music anyway."
As they talked about the talent show, they started to talk about the prom, and who they should go with. Katyuna should go with Benjamin and Jessica should of cause go with Jim.
"What about you Selaura?" Asked Katyuna.
"No one." She answered.
"Aw come on Laura! What about Lewis?"
"What about him?"
"Haven't he asked you yet?"
"No, should he?"
"Are you crazy! He likes you! And I can see in your eyes that you like him too." Katyuna blinked.
"Okay, you win; yes I like him very much!" Katyuna had that annoying talent, to read if someone liked another one. The girls smiled, or Jessica did her best, she really didn't wanted Selaura to be near that boy, but she didn't know how to say it.
In the mean while, had Lewis and Benjamin went to the music room, with their new roommates, Brian and Patrick.
"Okay let's see what you got." Said Brian.
Benjamin took a trumpet and began to play it.
"Awesome, now it's your turn Lewis."
Lewis began to play, and so begun his roommates play with him. It seemed like they could make a pretty good band. When they were done playing, did they agree to play at the talent show, and just without thinking, Lewis asked them, if they could ask Selaura to play with them. Benjamin looked teasingly at his friend.
"Uhh, you like her."
"What?" Lewis felt suddenly that his cheek went red. His friends were laughing at him.
"Hahaha, all right, go and ask her, we will find a name for the band in the meanwhile." Blinked Patrick. Lewis smiled and walked off.
As Jim got away from his class was he still looking to see if his father still was on the school.
"James Pleiades Hawkins!" He turned around. Sadly it was his father.
"Stay away from me." snarled Jim as he walked backwards.
"Please James let me expla-"
"It's Jim! Look I don't wanna talk to you, and I don't wanna see you."
"Listen to me! I did all this because it was the best for you!"
"Best for us? Ha! Do you know how many times, mom cried night after night? Do you even know how much pain you left in our hearts? I almost went to prison, because of you!"
"You almost went into to the prison?" His dad eyes looked angry at him.
"Forget it dad! If you evrn are my dad." Father and son looked mad at each other. Jim had really his mother eyes and hair color. But his bangs and the way he stared, and the strength of the boys stubbornness, was really his. Thought Leland.
Leland knew he couldn't get anywhere with the boy, and decided to shut up. And just like that, both turned their backs and walked away.
Jessica stood at a phone box. She was supposing to call her mother yesterday, but she totally forgot. She waited and waited, but no one took the phone. That was weird. She thought, and hangs up the phone. Jessica shrugged her shoulders, and agreed with herself that she will call later.
In the canteen:
Selaura was on her way to canteen, but just before she went inside, she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Lewis.
"Uhm Selaura… can we talk for a few minutes?" He asked shyly.
"Sure." She smiled at him.
"Well Benjamin, me and our two new roommates, we have agreed about that we wants to make a band, and I was wondering… or we… we were wondering if you wanted to join us."
"I would love too!"
"Great!" without thinking took Lewis her hands in his. He looked down on them and hurried letting go. "I uhm… I'll tell the… uhm my friends that you wants to join us." He smiled to her.
"That's sounds great, but could you maybe do me a favor?"
"Of course." I want to do anything for you. He then thought.
"Katyuna and Jessica want to sing in the talent show, and they need a band, you think maybe we could play for them?"
"Sure… I can't see any problems in that."
"Great."
Just before Lewis walked off, did he stop. "Uhm… Selaura… I was wondering if you, well if you don't have anything else to do, maybe you wanna go out with me?" At first Lewis thought she would say no.
"I would love to."
"Really? I mean… great what about tonight? I'll pick you up at 7:30? And then we could find a place to eat?"
"That sounds fine." They smiled at each other. As Lewis went down the hallway he couldn't but cheer. He finally got a date! Who liked him. Man he was so happy about the thought.
Selaura giggled as she watched him, and walked over to her friends.
"Where were you?" asked Katyuna her, when she sat down.
"No where, it was just Lewis who wanted to talk to me."
"About what?" Asked Jessica curious.
"He invited me out." Both Selaura and Katyuna screamed in excitement.
"Isn't it great Jess?" Asked Katyuna.
"Well…" She wanted to tell Selaura that it might would be a bad idea, but as she looked at her friend happy face, she only sighed. "Yes it is."
"Anyway did you remember to call your mom?" Asked Selaura her.
"Yes I did, but she didn't answer the phone, so I will try again later. But since we talked about boys, have you seen Jim?"
They shook their heads. Why did he keep disappearing?
Later did Jessica go back to the phone box and tried to call her mother once again. Katyuna and Selaura were with her. She waited and waited, but still was there no one who answered the phone. Jessica began to worry. This wasn't like her mother, to not pick the phone. She sighed and thought about try to call her again tomorrow.
"Girls, I'll go and search for Jim. It's strange, that we haven't seen him." The girls nodded, and went back to their room.
