Aster;
"So let me get his right. You write in what you're gonna say, and then it's says it for you?"
Sander nodded eagerly at Jackie and she groaned at that. Aster watched her in amusement and raised an eyebrow.
"With that thing, we can't slander the other guys without them knowing. Sander, how can you do that to me?" Jackie asked and pouted. Sander just laughed silently and took a cup of fruits and placed it on his tray.
Yesterday, Sander had been with his doctors and they had given him a mechanism that could "talk" for him. He just had to write down what he wanted to say, and then it would "speak". Aster himself thought that it was a great idea since Sander didn't have a bug chance to attend their conversations much. He didn't like that Sander was so excluded from their group when they didn't talk online.
Jackie huffed and took a cup of berries instead of fruit. Aster who stood in front of them in the line, found two empty cups and filled them with Strawberry slush. He handed it over to Jackie and she gladly took it and gave him a smile. Aster held back a small blush and tried to ignore his heart, who jumped a little.
Aster paid the lady for his lunch and began to walk in search for a table. He found one rather quickly and sat down. The others joined him closely after and they enjoyed their food in peace. Jackie quickly ate all the berries, but left the blueberries and Aster rolled his eyes at Jackie. However, he frowned slightly when he saw that she didn't touch any other food. She just drank her slush slowly and looked away from them from time to time.
Jackie smiled, but Aster knew that it wasn't her real smile. She even played with the knife more that he liked and he nudged her slightly with his elbow. She looked at him in surprise and gave him a confused look.
"You okay?" he asked and Jackie just gave him a small smile (fake if he had to say).
"Yes. I'm just not as hungry as I thought" she said simply and then looked away. Aster followed her look and clenched his fist slightly as he saw where she looked. Talia and some other girls huddled together at a table and whispered actively with each other and sometimes they looked over at Jackie and giggled.
The others must have caught up the tensed atmosphere around Jackie and they too looked over at the Talia. Aster looked at Jackie again and she was now clenching her fist really hard.
"Jackie?" he asked silently.
"I just don't get it! I know that I and Talia never have been friends or anything and we may have said many ugly words to each other, but we have never done anything to each other like she did today!" Jackie burst out angrily and furiously ran a hand through her hair. Well she tried, but Aster's hoodie was way too big for her and the sleeves had covered her hand when she had lifted her arm. Aster smiled as Jackie pushed back the sleeves a little and turned himself to her.
"Here" he said and rolled up both her sleeves. As he touched her hand, he felt that Jackie at once relaxed and he bit his lip so he didn't began to grin like an idiot.
"Thanks" Jackie mumbled as he finished and he saw that she was in a better mood after that.
Aster caught Tina raise an eyebrow at Jackie and she blushed slightly while she also glared at Tina. He smirked a little and took a sip from his slush. His grin however fell when he saw that Sander and Nick gave HIM a grin and Aster felt his cheeks heat up slightly and he scowled at them.
"Sooo… Have any of you a date to the ball yet?" Nick asked and gave Aster a look that evidently said "have you asked her yet" and Aster kicked Nick's leg and glared at him.
Tina squealed as Nick mentioned the ball and Jackie rolled her eyes at Tina's squeal.
"I have been asked by a couple of boys, but I don't think that they were my type. You know, football players who sleeps with every girl he can get and boring guys who think they are the best in high school. I actually hope a little that… ehm…" Tina suddenly blushed and Aster saw the mischievous glint in Jackie's eyes at that and she moved closer to Tina and leaned herself on the table and rested her head on her hand as she looked at Tina.
"So, it's a guy in here. Come on Tina, we won't teas you, so much" Jackie grinned and Tina blushed furiously. Aster saw that Nick slightly clenched his fist and he knew why.
Tina suddenly leaned over to Jackie and whispered something in her ear and Jackie grinned and whispered something to Tina. They both looked over to a table and Aster curiously looked over there too.
"You're kidding me. Phil Yetser! He is so hot!" Jackie exclaimed and Aster jaw dropped and he felt himself full of anger and jealousy. Jackie just called a guy HOT! And it wasn't him!
"I know right! And that hair, look at it!"
Both girls sighed and looked at Phil dreamily. Phil Yetser was a guy that was now a senior here at Nix High School. He was like Nick in body, but Phil was more of a crafter person than a football person. He had dirty blonde hair that was long and untamed, and hazel brown eyes.
Aster snorted loudly and so did Nick. They both sat with their arms crossed and scowled at the girls. Sander just watched them in amusement and drank some of his milk as the girls giggled.
"But why would he ask ME out, I mean… Jackie, do I have too high hopes. And maybe if I actually asked me, maybe he had a cute friend for you?" Tina asked and continued looking dreaming at Yetser.
"Yes… Maybe…" Jackie trailed off and Aster cleared his throat loudly at that.
"Humpf. Yetser isn't that great" Nick said sourly and suddenly Jackie and Tina broke into hysterical laughter and had to support each other from falling on the floor. Aster and Nick looked at them confused and then Aster hit himself in the head as he understood.
"Oh, haha. Very funny you two"
"Oh My God! You should have seen the look on your faces. It was priceless!" Jackie gasped as she tried to catch her breath.
Aster just scowled at them and drank some of his slush. He felt slightly irritated at them for tricking him and Nick like that. Jackie actually made him jealous. AGAIN!
She always made him jealous when she talked to Tina about Leo (who he didn't like one bit if he had to say so), and when she was late for something because of him. Aster boiled with anger and jealousy. He also didn't like when Jackie become so… girly… Jackie was a tomboy, skater, snowboarder, prankster and caring big sister. She didn't mind getting dirty and wasn't so engaged to clothes and make-up.
"Oh come on Kangaroo You didn't have to get so mad!" Jackie said and moved closer to him.
Aster's heart beaded a little faster at that and his stomach jumped a little, but he ignored it and turned his back towards Jackie and continued drinking his slush. The table was silent for moment and then he felt a pair of hands on his shoulders and Jackie moved closer to him. She carefully stroke him along his back and shoulders and then placed her head on his shoulder so she had to hold her arms around his chest. Aster felt a blush creep up to his cheeks but held it back
"You don't have to worry, my little Roo. You will always have a special place in my heart" she whispered and stroke her finger alongside his jaw.
Aster froze at once while a shiver ran through his body and his eyes become slightly unfocused. He nearly forgot how to breathe and he felt slightly listless. He felt so listless that he nearly dropped his drink.
"Still mad at me?"
Aster tried to breath, but it seemed impossible for the moment. How could he let Jackie find is weakest spot and how could he let her use it against him?
"Come on. You can't be mad at your crush!" Jackie teased as she continued stroking his jaw and Aster closed his eyes while he tried to hold back a groan. He felt her breath in his neck and shivered again.
"Say that you're not mad at me" she said so softly that he nearly didn't hear her.
Aster bit his lip slightly and took a deep breath.
"Fine! I'm not mad at you" he burst out and Jackie moved away from him.
"That wasn't so hard, was it" Jackie teased and ran a hand through her hair.
"Sometimes, I really don't like you Frostbite" Aster mumbled as the school bell rang and people began to move from their tables.
Aster was glad it was free period now as he had a new Spanish essay to finish, and he didn't understand a word of it. Why did he choose Spanish again? Really! He should have taken French instead or maybe even Germany!
Jackie walked in front of him, and he suddenly remembered that she too had free period. He snuck up behind her and before she could react, he threw her over his shoulder. She reacted with a shriek and an "ASTER!" His friends looked at him with shocked eyes and Aster just smiled to them.
"See you later guys. This irritating girl shall help me with an essay, whatever she like it or not" he said and then he began to walk to the library. Jackie however didn't seem to like that idea and tried to kick him, but Aster held her too hard to do so and laughed slightly.
"E. Aster Bunnymund, you put me down right now!" she screamed and hit him in the back.
"Nah, I like having you up there" Aster said as he ignored the stares they got as they passed several students. Jackie groaned and relaxed for a moment so the upper part of her body was upside down. Aster turned his head and saw that her hair hung down with his hoodie. Suddenly she bolted up so fast that Aster nearly lost her.
"Mr. Bennet! Help me!" she cried out and Aster turned around confused. He was met by a surprised and a… laughing face of Mr. Bennet.
"Mr. Bunnymund and Miss Frost. What are you two doing, not another fight I hope!" he said and Aster shook his head.
"No, of course not Sir. She's just gonna help me with an essay" (I did not say yes to that!) "And as the good friend I am, I thought that I could carry her to the library so she didn't have to waste her strength" he explained to his history teacher and gave him a smile. Mr. Bennet returned it and patted Aster on the shoulder as he passed him.
"Good to hear Mr. Bunnymund. I simply knew that you and Miss Frost would become such good friends when you just spent some time together. Off you go now so you can write that essay of yours" he said and then he left an amused Aster and a gaping Jackie behind him.
"That did just not happen" Jackie muttered and Aster laughed at that.
"Believe it or not, Frostbite, That did just happen"
"Next time you want me to help you with an essay, just ask me instead of carry me all the way to the library over your shoulder! God Aster! What's wrong with you?" Jackie rambled as she furiously wrote in his notebook and actually mumbled something under her breath on Spanish. He swear he heard her say Canguro and Conejo, which he knew were Spanish for kangaroo and rabbit and held back a snicker.
"Nah, not my thing Frostbite. And I had to get my revenge sometime, and now seemed like the perfect time" Aster said and ran a hand through his hair as he said it. Jackie just rolled her eyes and carried on with her writing.
"You know that I have my own homework to work on. Like math!" she groaned as she took small break from her writing.
"I can look over your math if you want" Aster offered and Jackie at him surprised for a moment before she shrugged.
"Yeah, you owe me that" she mumbled.
Aster chuckled and grabbed her bag and found her math book and note book. He found the homework for this week and saw that she had some math problems left that would take about ten to twenty minutes and he looked over her finished problems and smiled when he saw that she just had some mistakes in the hardest problems and he quickly corrected them with a red pencil so she could see what was wrong.
They sat in silence for a while as he continued looking over her work and both of them laid down their pencils at the same time.
"Here, I have now wrote down what the essay is about and started with some examples that you could write along with some vocabularies that you can use. I think that it will give you some extra points if you can use them correctly, and I wrote some examples for them too" Jackie said and gave him the notebook.
"Thanks. I don't know what I would do without you! I nearly fail in this stupid class!" Aster sighed and Jackie gave him a grin.
"I know the feel" she laughed and Aster laughed too.
The laughter died after a while and Jackie looked over what Aster had corrected in her notebook and sighed a little as she closed it. She then folded her arms on the table and rested her head upon them and closed her eyes. Aster watched her and smiled.
"You okay?"
"Just tired" she mumbled and sighed again.
"So I hear that your uncle is out of town" Aster said and Jackie just nodded. Another silent fell over them and Aster looked out the window in the library. Heavy snow fell down and would probably lay about a feet with new snow.
"It's the twelfth in two days" Jackie suddenly said and Aster looked at her confused for second before he remembered. He smiled sadly before he snuck a hand under her cheek and forced her head up so she could look at him. He didn't say anything but just stroke her cheek warmly and she leaned in to his touch before she placed her own hand over his.
Aster moved closer to her and placed his forehead against hers and looked straight into her eyes. Her eyes were filled with both sorrow and happiness. He placed his hand on her waist and moved her closer to him and he felt reviled when Jackie didn't resist it.
"Three months ago, I would have slapped you if you did that" Jackie laughed and Aster let out a small laugh too and moved his face so his lips nearly touched hers.
"Three months ago I would have slapped myself if I did that" and he felt his lip brushed hers as he talked. Jackie laughed and Aster moved his face a little closer to hers.
"Excuse me! You're sitting at our table!"
Aster and Jackie jumped startled from each other at the voice and Aster nearly groaned as he saw who it was.
Talia! It just had to be Talia ruining his chances and he actually wanted to hit her so badly right now!
"I'm sorry, but I don't see any name on this table" he said angrily and clenched his fist. Talia just looked at him and then stuck her nose in the air.
"I don't care. Come girls, now that Frost has touched our table, I don't want to sit here anymore" Talia mocked and turned around. Aster turned around to hold Jackie back, but it was too late.
"Excuse me!"
Talia turned around with a smug smile on her face.
"Didn't you hear me properly, has that white color drained your brain and filled it stupidity? I don't even understand why you colored it like that in the first place, or wait, I DO!"
Talia took a step closer to Jackie and looked right into her eyes. Aster knew what was coming, but he couldn't do anything about it. Jackie wouldn't let him.
"You're just a little freak and now that you have that color, you just confirmed it. Why would anyone have a so ugly hair color? Who with a right mind would give you such an idea? How wired is your family, Frost, really? Or maybe it's just you who are weird. I think that's the reason. I pity them so much right now. I probably think that they would either be dead than be with-"
SLAP!
Everything went totally silent and Aster starred at Jackie with wide eyes. She had just slapped Talia so hard that it was even a hand mark there.
"Don't you dare go there Talia. I warn you, next time you cross that line, I would do more than just slap you!"
And with that, Jackie grabbed all her stuff and ran out from the library.
"You're a sick soul, you know that Talia. And you wonder why I don't want to be with you!" Aster said to her and grabbed his own stuff before he headed after Jackie.
The hall was empty since their free period wasn't finished yet and Aster spotted Jackie right before she disappeared around a corner and he ran after her. He caught up with her as she came to the exit of the school and stepped outside. She stopped there and just stood there as the snow fell around her. Aster joined her and stood beside her and shivered slightly at the cold air.
"Don't listen to her Jackie, she's just jealous!" he said and Jackie sighed as she hugged herself and Aster placed his own arms around her before pulled her into a hug. He felt her shake a little and he could hear a stifled sob and he stroke her back up and down as he kissed her head.
He didn't say anything more and just stood there in silence as he hugged her tightly. For the first time he actually didn't mind the cold air, because he had something that held that felling back. Someone who could easily get him to forget everything, and she was nearly sobbing on his arms.
Jackie Frost.
I feel rather evil right now. Mwohahahaha :D
Well, see ya later alligator ;D
