;so I'm stuck in school doing absolutely nothing and no inspiration for writing any other story sooo Im posting again. This is the last filler chapter then we're gonna get this story line going! As always I don't own ROTG just the plot and OC's;
Maeve sat in boredom at her desk in math class while chewing on the end of her pencil.
Today was the last day of school before winter break and Maeve couldn't wait to get home and to get away from the pure horror known as high school.
Of course her math teacher thought it'd be a wonderful idea to give them a pop-quiz right before they left for break saying "they weren't out of the storm yet".
Maeve hardly tried on the quiz. Probably cause her brain was to far in the clouds to focus any longer than 2 minutes. And the fact her social life seemed more entertaining contributed a great deal.
It's been 2 days since she's seen Jack, which is odd saying he normally showed up practically everyday since they met 2 weeks ago. He had left saying he had work to do and would be back soon. She just wasn't sure when "soon" was.
The 17 year olds concentration completely snapped at a slight tapping on the window next to her. Maeve looked up from her paper to see Jack Frost himself sitting on the window ledge smiling at her.
"Well, speak of the devil." She thought grinning. Maeve quickly looked around the room to make sure nobody else could see Jack. But, the wasn't really an need to. No one else seemed to have noticed the winter spirit. Probably because no one high school other than her would believe in Jack Frost.
Maeve smiled back at him in greeting. She tapped her worksheet with her pencil and frowned before getting back to work.
Jack looked at the clock on the wall through the window. Maeve still had 30 minutes till she was out of school. Maybe he could change that...
The spirit of winter swooped into the school's front doors just as the custodian opened it to sweep out some dirt.
Sneaking into the school was a piece of cake. probably because no one could see the winter spirit.
Jack flew into the attendance office where the thin faced secretary with strait grey pulled back into a tight bun and glasses was currently typing on her computer. She shivered as Jack casually walked around the office.
"So this is the back-up release bell, huh?" He asked looking at the medium sized black button that was on the secretary's desk next to the loud speaker.
Smirking, Jack hit the button with the "G" end of his staff. The loud ringing of the release bell rung through out the halls of the local high school.
The secretary jumped at the sudden ringing and looked at her watch. "But-but schools not supposed to get out for another 27 minutes!" She squeaked as students rushed out of the building before teachers could call them back.
Jack walked into the hallway as students cheered and laughed while they ran out of the building. "Your welcome!" He called waving a hand at them.
The Winter spirit took his time as he walked out of the school. He didn't have to worry about Students bumping or running into him. Because they didn't believe in him, they just harmlessly passed through him.
Once he was outside, Jack flew up to one of the many tree's branches in the front of the school and sat there while he waited for Maeve to come out.
The 17 year old was one of the last groups to leave the school as she stuffed a few worksheets and a rather large book into her backpack and zipped it up.
"Saved by the bell?" Jack asked flying down so they where looking face to face. Maeve laughed. "Yeah, thanks for that." She said walking down the school stairs. "But, I'd prefer it if you had gotten me out of French class instead."
"You speak French?" Jack asked floating along side her as she walked home. "Mais bien sûr! -but of course!-" She replied in French. "I've been taking it since freshman year."
"I can speak to the moon." Jack said flying on his back and crossing his legs over one another. "What?" Maeve asked walking down the street that lead to her house. "You know, the Man in the Moon?" Jack replied. "Oh yeah." She replied pushing her hair behind her ear as her cheeks turned pink.
The 17 year old and the winter spirit had just walked into the Bennett house as Victoria Bennett was rushing out.
"I got an emergency call at work." Maeve's mother said grabbing her coat and keys. "Your father and Lewis are heading to help your Aunt Sophie and her boyfriend move into their new apartment today and tomorrow. So you and Amelia have the house to yourselves."
"Alright, mom." Maeve called throwing her backpack onto the kitchen floor. "Good luck at work." She added just as the front door closed.
A few minutes later, Jamie came walking down stairs and put on his coat. "Come on, Lewis! We need to meet Your Aunt in 15 minutes! I checked you out of school so we would be on time and we're still running late." He called upstairs.
"Hi, honey." He said to Maeve while putting on his scarf. "Your home early." "School let us out early today. Weather said its supposed to snow." She said putting her coat away.
"Right, dad, I'm coming." Lewis said as he ran downstairs. Maeve held out his coat as Lewis went speeding by. he grabbed his gloves and put on his coat as he walked outside the front door. "We'll be home tomorrow night." Jamie said while heading out the door. "Bye. tell Aunt Sophie and Mr. Rada I said hi." Maeve called after them from the door way.
"Oh!" Jamie called. "Amelia is at Olivia's for the afternoon! Mrs. Hellings will bring her home!" "Right!" Maeve called back. "See you!"
She sighed and closed the front door with her foot. "Hectic house you have here." Jack's voice said.
The 17 year old looked above her head to see The spirit of winter stuck against the ceiling Spider-Man style.
"Why'd you hide?" She asked while kicking off her boots. "I thought people had to believe in you to see you."
"They do." Jack said flushing slightly while he jumped off the ceiling. "I just didn't know if your dad could see me or not."
Maeve raised an eyebrow then walked back into the kitchen. "So, you want to make cookies?" She asked getting the ingredients out. "You can tell me where you've been for the past 2 days while we work."
Jack smiled. "I've been -uh- busy." He replied setting his staff on the counter and helping Maeve. "With?" She asked measuring the ingredients.
"Stuff." Jack replied grinning. Maeve catapulted an egg yoke at the winter spirits face with a spoon and crossed her arms stubbornly.
Jack laughed as he wiped off his face. "Guess I can't convince you, huh?" He asked before answering. "the Boogeyman's minions attacked New York city. I've been on the look out for him. Well, I still am, but I figured I deserved a break."
"Wait, wait." Maeve half-laughed. "The Boogeyman?"
"Don't laugh." Jack said wagging a wooden spoon at Maeve. "He's bad business. He controls peoples nightmares, he's manipulating, and just plain evil. The last time anyone saw a sign of him was 40 years ago."
Maeve nodded but found it hard not to laugh. How bad could the Boogeyman be?
;those who are wondering: Maeve will figure out she's daughter nature once she's more introduced to the mythical world. Thanks for reading and please leave a review!;
