Jazz's P.O.V
Chapter 12:
Jamie took my hand and led me down a tunnel I hadn't been down yet. We were walking for about a minute in silence when I tripped on who knows what.
I put my hand out to hold onto something and it caught the wall. Jamie caught me before I could fall on my face, but I'd already scraped all the skin off my right hand.
Jamie took my hand and turned it up to look at it. It was all bloody and scraped.
"We should get Doc to fix that up." He said turning around to head in the direction I think the hospital was in.
"But I thought you didn't want to get on Sharon's bad side?" I said confused.
"Sharon can just deal with it, you don't want it to get infected." Jamie said pulling me along. I nodded and followed him.
It took us about ten minutes to get to the hospital. "Doc, Jazz scraped her hand on the wall, you got some heal for her?"
Jamie asked walking in. Doc looked up from a book he was reading and nodded.
"I'm guessing you tripped Jazz, right?" Doc asked digging in a box for the Heal.
I nodded blushing. "I have balance issues." I mumbled.
They laughed as Doc walked over with the Heal. It took him ten seconds to heal my hand. We thanked him and headed back the way we came.
I kept my eyes on the ground most of the wayback, not wanting to fall again.
"I'm sorry for falling, now you'll be on Sharon's bad side." I said quietly.
"Don't be sorry. You had to go to Doc and you can't help it if you have balance issues." He laughed.
"Okay." I answered.
We walked into the class extremely late. Sharon glared at us while Jamie explained that we had been with Doc.
She didn't say anything, just nodded her head towards two seats out the front. I looked at Jamie and he smiled a grim smile and walked over to the seats.
I sat down next to Jamie and listened to what Sharon was teaching us. It was a lecture about Shakespeare. I caught Jamie's eye and he rolled his eyes towards Sharon and made a face, I bit my lip, holding back a laugh and turned back to the front.
Three hours later Sharon dismissed us and we were walking back to the kitchen for lunch.
"So, did you enjoy that?" Jamie asked me.
"How does she get all the information? Where does she get it from?" I asked amazed that Sharon could talk non-stop for three hours, not counting the time before we got to class.
"No idea, maybe she makes some of it up." Jamie said shrugging his shoulders.
I laughed and nodded. We had reached the kitchen now. I looked over to the table we sat at this morning and no one was there yet.
We went over and piled food onto our plates and went over to sit down.
"Do we have class after lunch as well?" I asked.
"No, only in the morning." Jamie answered.
"Oh, so what do we do after lunch?" I asked confused.
"I suppose we could help out in the felids. We could ask Jeb if any of the plants need to be picked yet. If not I dunno what we could do." He answered.
I nodded and went back to my food. It was then that people started coming back from the fields. Jared, Kyle, Ian, Jack and Mel grabbed some food and walked over to the table.
"Where's Wanda?" Ian asked looking around. I looked around too and then saw her walking over with a plate of food in her hands.
"Here." She answered, smiling at Ian
"What about Sunny?" Kyle asked copying Ian and looking around for her.
"She's coming now, she had to go clean her hands off. We were baking bread today." Wanda answered as Sunny came into the kitchen.
"How was school?" Jared asked and I looked up with food in my mouth, unable to speak.
"We were late because Jazz tripped and scraped her hand so we had to go get Doc to fix it up." Jamie answered and I blushed as I swallowed my food.
"Are you okay?" Wanda asked sounding concerned. I looked up and saw she was looking at me.
"Yea, I'm fine." I answered blushing again. I looked down and shoved some more food into my mouth before anyone else asked me if I was okay.
I hated having balance issues. It made people think I was fragile, my height made people think that as well but I was very capable of holding my own in a fight. I was fast and could throw a punch.
"Doc fixed her up. The only injury I'm worried that she obtained was a burn from Sharon's death glare she gave Jazz when we walked in late." Jamie laughed and so did everyone else.
"Death glares are Sharon's specialty. You can't expect her to waste her talent." Mel laughed and we all joined in.
The table was quiet for a few minutes while we all finished our lunch off. I finished and waited for everyone else to. I looked around the room, and saw Jeb walking over to us.
"Everyone done eating yet? The north field needs weeding and the corn in the east field needs picking. I was thinking since Jamie and Jazz don't have class you two could pick the corn, while everyone else weeded the north field. Wanda and Sunny, you'll still me baking bread but the rest of you could get to work." He told us.
"Okay Jeb. Do you want us to go now?" Jamie asked.
"When you're done eating." Jeb answered. "I'll see you guys in the field." He said and walked over to another table to talk with some people I didn't know.
"Are you ready to go jazz?" Jamie asked. I looked at him and looked down at my empty plate, then back at him and nodded. I got up and so did Jamie.
"We'll see you guys at dinner" Jamie said to them. I waved and they all waved back. We put our plates on the bench and walked out.
Jamie led me through the tunnels to the east field where there where some baskets on the ground in the corner. In the middle was a small field of corn growing and by the looks of it; it was ready to be picked.
We grabbed a basket and walked over.
"Have you ever picked corn before?" He asked me.
"No" I answered, I had no idea how to do this.
"It's pretty easy. You just have to do this." And in one quick movement he pulled the corn off the stalk at an angle, then with quick, practiced hands he pulled the cover off along with all the stringy bits I had no name for.
"It'll take a while to be able to do it that quickly but you'll get it." He said smiling at me as he placed the corn in his basket.
"We'll put the corn in this basket and the cover in this one." He said pointing to the two baskets we had.
"Okay." I said and grabbed a corn and pulled at the same angle as Jamie had when he showed me. It came off the stalk and then I started peeling the green stuff off. That part was harder. It took me a while to get all the stringy bits off and by the time I had finished one Jamie had done three more.
I looked at my single corn and then at the four in the basket that Jamie had done and laughed.
"Your right, it will take me a while." I laughed. Jamie looked at the corn in my hand and laughed with me.
"Don't worry it took me weeks to figure out how to do it this fast." He laughed.
"Great, that means it'll tale me months." I laughed with him and we both stood there laughing for a minute. When I got my breath back I placed the corn in the basket and started with my second while Jamie went on to his fifth.
It had been about ten minutes of silence. I had done two more corns in that time and Jamie had done four. I decided to break the silence with a question I was wondering about.
"I was wondering…last night you said that you and Jared came here…What about Melanie? And Wanda and Mel seem to have a…connection. What happened? I mean if you don't want to tell me don't but I was just wondering…" I hoped he didn't think I was being nosy.
"Yea I'll tell you. It's a pretty long story though" he said looking up from the corn he had just pulled off the stalk.
"I'd love to hear it." I said, I couldn't believe he was going to tell me! I thought it might be personal or something…
"Well it started with Mel going to look for Sharon…"
