Winter Spirit's Friend
Three in the afternoon, end of class. Jack went to his locker and Megan's is just in front of his. Everyone is talking about the young guardian, not just because of what happened at lunch time, but because of his unusual, rare silver hair.
"Argh, jammed!" he shouted as he tried to open his locker. Megan approached him and fixed it minutes.
"There, it happens all the time. And they never fix it, irony right?" she leaned on the locker and waited for Jack.
"So, want me to tour you here in school?" Megan said. "Sure." Jack said simply after he closed his locker and put books in his backpack.
They went to the Computer Lab, Science Lab, the auditorium, the football field, gym, and many more. Jack is having fun and he asked a lot of question to Megan that made her wonder about him.
"And this is the covered court. This is where cheerleaders rehearse, basketball varsities practice and play one of my favourite sport, Dodge ball." She spins around the court and sat on the floor looking at the young boy standing.
"What's Dodge ball?" Jack curiously asked and saw Megan looked at him surprisingly.
"You don't know?" she paused a little then continued, "Well, it's a sport where the two groups with members of five or more throw balls at each other and they have to dodge it. When you got hit, you're out. And when you caught a ball of your enemy, you gain a life." Megan said candidly. Jack saw a ball lying on the floor and picked it up. She noticed Jack's standing in the middle of the court, holding a basketball and shoots it in the ring and scored.
"Impressive, you play basketball?" Megan asked. "Nope." Jack said and picked up the ball and shoots again.
"No? I don't believe you" she shook her head and continued, "you just shot that ball in to the ring, and you're in the middle of the court, come on admit it, don't be bashful." She said and approached Jack still shooting.
"Honestly, I really don't." he turned to Megan and shoots the ball without looking, Megan widened her eyes and watch the ball dribbling and looked at Jack.
"You…you just….you…shoot…and you…" she's pointing in different directions and circled Jack.
"You just shot that ball without looking!" she screamed, "And you're in the middle of the court, and you said you don't play basketball?!" she added.
"That's just an accident." Jack said and stopped Megan from circling him.
"There are no accidents." Megan said and grabbed a ball. "Says who?" Jack asked curiously
"Master Ugway, you know, from Kung Fu Panda." She said and raised her eyebrow. "Don't tell me you don't know that either?" she added.
"I won't tell you then." He smiled and snatched the ball in Megan's hand and shoots again.
"See, that's no accident!" She pushed Jack and ran to get the ball. "I won't give you this ball!" She shouted and hid the ball behind her.
"Aww? Why not?" Jack is walking towards her, "I'm having fun here." He said and smiled.
He's trying to get the ball but Megan kept running around the place.
"No, I won't give it to you, until you…." Jack stole the ball and Megan didn't even notice it.
"Wha? How, When did you?" Jack laughed and spun the ball with his finger and rolled it on his shoulder going to the other side of his hand.
"Hey, watch this." He blinked at Megan and turned his back from the ring and made the shot. Megan followed the ball and looked at Jack laughing at her.
"You should've seen your face." He said while laughing and approached her.
"That's crazy! I hate you!" she ran after Jack but can't catch him. Then a minute later, Megan's phone rang.
"Hey, gotta bounce, dad's already here." Jack grabbed his phone and asked for her number.
"Hey, can I get your phone number?" he asked formally, trying not to be introverted.
"Sure." they exchanged phones and typed their number.
"Here yah go." Megan said, returning Jack's phone. "See you tomorrow then?" Jack said while putting his phone in his pocket.
"Yup, see yah!" she said while running away and looked back at Jack and waved.
Jack waved back and put his hands on his pocket. He grabbed his bag and walked back home.
