Jack tries to stop thinking but can't. It is lunch and school is ending in three weeks.
"Have you picked your classes for next year?" Hiccup asks him in between bites of his pizza.
"Yeah, AP English and Composition, Physics, Spanish 3 and I don't know what else."
"Did you finish with P.E?"
"Nope. Gonna take that in the summer."
"That's gross." Aster tells him. "Summer is hot. I'm gonna take it for zero period next year."
"What about you Tooth?"
"I go see my counselor today but I think I will continue to take Drama, probably Pre-Calc, French 3 and I'm still not sure about the rest."
"What?! Tooth we should take AP Bio, I heard Ms. D teaches that too!"
Tooth laughs at Jack. "No! You're evil! She sucks but I feel bad for her."
"AP Chem?" He taunts.
"Are you trying to give me gray hairs?!" She replies looking horrified.
Tooth is dear to Jack. She's one of his best friends. He doesn't want to hurt her. He told that much to Aimee. He spoke with Sandy about it. Has he ever given signs that he is interested? Sandy had looked at him and said, "You're a flirt. You flirt with everything. Even rocks." Afterward, Jack decided not to worry. He would remain as he is. After all, acting different would hurt her just as much.
