Hello again! I wanna thAnk the people who reviewed last chapter: AngelRoseStar15, ken08002, and those 2 guest (I know your out there! XD) and everyone else who fav, alerted, etc. You guys rock! :D
Also before we head on to the next chapter please read this: I have decided to make guest reviews have to be approved by me first. The reason behind this is because someone under a guest review(don't wanna say the guest name), has decided to take it upon themselves to stalk my story and leave, very racist and vulgar comments. I, of course, removed those reviews because, really, no one wants to read about someone dissing another race for no clear reason. It's completely unnecessary and I don't stand for that kind of bullying. So yeah. Just thought I should say that, also login in if you have an account! Haha. I would like to thank you properly :3 Anyway, enjoy the next chapter!
Chapter 34: Mentoring and a Crazy Carla
Jills' POV
"I can't believe the semester ends next week." I said to Dave, as we ate breakfast in the lunch room of Raccoon High.
"Yeah I know! I gotta pick my grades up or I'm gonna have to go to summer school!" Dave exclaims. It was mid January and the end of the first semester was in about a week or so.
"So Jill I gotta ask you something, what's been going on?" Dave asks me.
"Oh nothing much-"
"No, no, I mean like, it feels like there's something you don't wanna tell me. With Rebecca leaving and such, it seems a little weird. And don't bother lying cuz I'll know!" He said, pointing his finger at me. My breath hitched. Maybe I should ask him about that vial I found... P-30... I found a place to hide the weirdly color substance somewhere in my room that no one would find it. Well, our partly re-builded house, ever since that incident where it exploded because of that Umbrella guy, HUNK. Damn bastard.
"Really?" I say, trying to play it off casual by picking up a piece of pancake, and stuffing it into my mouth. "There's nothing I'm hiding Dave. You know I would've told you by now."
"I know your lying Jill. I know you better than that."
"Okay I am." I confess. "But... It's best if you don't get involved in it. Just... The less you know the better it is."
Dave simply nods in agreement, apparently content with my response. No... I shouldn't bring up that P-30 thing. I'm right though. I shouldn't involve him in this at all.
"Anyway, I should head over to Mr. Duvalls room. I told him I'd be here before first period because I wanted to tutor some kid who needs help for extra credit." I said to Dave, while dumping my tray out.
"Alrighty Jill. Catch ya later!"
I grab my book-bag, waving to Dave bye before heading off to Mr. D's class. As I approach his classroom, I knock on the door, waiting for him to give me the signal to come in. Last time I walked in, he gave me a half an hour speech about how that's impolite.
"Ah Jill, perfect timing! Come in! Here, have a seat near my desk." Mr. Duvall says as he pulls up a chair next to him. I obliged, taking the seat he offered.
"Now Jill," He began, placing his hands on top of mine, "I know you want extra credit to bring your grade up and that's okay. But your smarter than extra credit Jill."
I raise an eyebrow at his statement. Is he saying that extra credit is bad?
"But Mr. Duvall I just want it to boost my grade up-"
"And I know how hard it is being a girl Jill. I know what it is like."
"You do?"
He nods.
"Yes I do."
"But you're a boy-"
"Especially at your age when you see a cute boy and all your hormones get excited, and all you wanna do is rip their clothes off and then the natural body response would be-"
"Okay! Okay, okay, okay, I get it."
Mr. Duvall gave me a smile, then nods. He pulls his hands back and begins to flip some papers on his desk.
"I'm glad you understand. Now the way I decided which student is mentoring who is by their weaknesses. Unfortunately though Jill, I fell short a few students, and it seems the same student you are mentoring will also have another mentor as well, so you will be working together with her."
"Uh sure no problem. Who is she anyway?"
Mr. Duvall looks at the clock.
"Hmm... That's odd. She should've been here by now-"
"Hi Mr. D! Sorry I'm late, Rachael and I missed our bus this morning."
No freaking way... I recognize that voice.
"Jessica!?" I shout as I turn around. Jessica's face drops when she saw me but then it quickly widens brightly after a second.
"Jill? Hey! What's up?" She says. I didn't reply. I turn to look back at Mr. Duvall, who had a happy facial expression.
"You two know each other already?" He asks.
"Yeah..." I grumble.
"Why, this is just splendid then! I always know how to pick the best groups!" Mr. Duvall claps his hands together. He opens a drawer from his desk, and pulls out two sheets of paper, handing it to Jessica and I.
"Here. This is your schedule. It will be held here, 9th period. This is your mentees name, Parker Luciani"
Mr. Duvall hands us the sheet of paper. I quickly snatch the paper before Jessica can. I glance at the paper. 'Parker Luciani, a junior, struggles with Geometry and Trigonometry.'
"Oh I'm the best at Trig!" Jessica states proudly. "Guess that leaves you with Geometry Jill."
I smile at her although it looked more of a strained smile.
"Well then, both of you, don't you have class first period? I suggest you be off unless you want to be late." Mr. Duvall said. I grab my bag and sling it over my shoulder. I thank Mr. Duvall and take my leave, without saying anything to Jessica.
"Hey Jill!"
'Are you kidding me?!' I thought. I turn around and see Jessica standing at Mr. Duvalls door.
"Yeah?"
"I'll meet up by your locker after school! Then we'll met our mentee together! Oh and tell Chris I said hi!"
And with that, Jessica walked down the hallway, presumably to her class. I roll my eyes.
"Why do all these girls always want MY boyfriend? Why can't they go after Leon? It's not like a bunch of fan girls that love him will kill them or anything haha." I say to no one in particular as I walk to my class.
Chris' POV
Fifth Period...
"Okay guys! Today we're going to be doing dodgeball!"
My gym class students groan at what at Coach Kirk said while I fist pump excitedly. I notice Piers lower his head from the corner of my eye. He was standing next some other boy, Finn I think, whispering to him.
"Nivans and Macauley! Stop your chatting and pay attention!"
Piers and Finn, stood up straight and stopped talking.
"Anyway like I was saying, we need two captains-"
"ME! Me! Pick me!"
I wave my hand around excitedly.
"Okay Chris, your captain of Blue team... Yet again." Coach Kirk says. I quickly run to where he's pointing at and patiently wait for him to decide the other team.
"Okay now for Red team. Any volunteers? Or am I going to have to select at random?"
Everyone stays quiet and looks around, not wanting to be pick. I smirk, my confidence boosting up. 'Of course no one wants to go against MY team. I always win.'
"I'll give it a shot."
Everyone turns to see Ada, her hand raised, waggling her index finger. I glare at her as she steps forward. 'Shes doing that on purpose. She rarely participates.'
"Okay then!" Coach Kirk says as he claps his hands. "Now that we have two captains, you guys may choose your team mates."
Ten minutes later...
"Hm... Seems we have an odd number of students in the class."
Ada and I had already chosen our team but the problem was that their was one girl left over, that girl Carla I think, so the teams would be uneven. Some girl named Nancy offered to sit out but Coach Kirk wanted everyone to be involved.
"It's okay. I'll be on Adas team!" Carla said quickly as she began to skip over to her. Coach Kirk stops her.
"Actually Carla, I want you to be on Chris' team."
Her eyes wet wide when she heard this.
"WHAT!? No! I HAVE TO BE WITH ADA!" She screeched. Ada scratches the back of her neck, obviously embarrassed by Carla's out burst to not being on her team.
"I mean, fine what ever. I'll be on his loser team." She says, regaining her composure, as she walks to my side. I walk over to her with Leon behind me.
"Hey I know you really wanted to be with Ada but look at it this way, our teams gonna kick-"
"My one chance to be on a team with Ada and you took it away from me! We are a dynamic duo! Me and her are meant to be together!" Carla said, gritting her teeth. "You'll pay for this." She rolls her eyes and goes to the back. I stay quiet not knowing how to react to that.
"She acts like she owns Ada. She doesn't own her!"
"Jealous you have competition? What happened about your feelings for my sister?"
"N-no! I don't like Ada! How many times do I have to say that! And it's just cuz I think Carla's crazy. And can we not talk about Claire right now?" He replies nervously.
"Leon bro, look, Claire-"
"All right! Everyone listen up!" Coach Kirk yells. I go back to my half of the gym with my team. "I wanna see everyone give it their all. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. As long as you have fun." Coach Kirk walks away from the middle, after setting the balls down.
"Well talk this later," I say to Leon, then turning my attention to Ada, "Good luck Ada! Your going down!"
"Thanks. Although your barking that up to the wrong tree Chris, you should be telling that to yourself." She replies, a smirk on her lips. Gr...
"Now... Let the game begin!"
Near the end of the period...
"There are only five Blue team members left. Leon, Piers, Finn, Carla, and Myself... Ada only has herself left on her team... We-"
"Chris! Stop narrating out-loud and get in the game! Your so useless for a captain!"
I groan out loud at what Leon said and notice Carla gently roll a ball over to Ada's side.
"Darn! I thought it would've hit her." Carla said, feigning innocence. Ada raises an eyebrow and shrugs, then grabs the ball and tosses it at Piers, hitting him in the ass.
"Piers!"
"Your out!"
I turn to see Carla passing over another ball.
"Stop it!"
Ada picks it up and tosses it, hitting Leon in the...
"Your out! And get some ice for that." Coach Kirk comments. Leon whimper and gently walks over to the bench.
"Carla what's wrong with you?" I ask her.
"I told you you'll pay for not making me team with Ada!"
"I didn't even decide who's team you got to be on in the first place!"
"Oh so-"
Thud!
"Your out!"
Carla turns slowly to and sees Ada smirking. Carla stomps and walks off to the bench. I laugh at Carla's anger.
"That's what you get for trusting Ada- ouch."
"And the captain is out!"
"What? Wait! No! I wasn't paying attention! Ugh!"
I grumble in frustration and storm off to sit. All who was left was Ada and Finn, who looked like a lost child.
"C'mon Finn! You can do it! Believe in yourself!" I called out to him. Finn looks my way, smiling slightly. He muttered something to himself. Finn picked up a ball and tossed it at Ada, who stood standing there, not expecting Finn to really take part. Everything went in slow motion for me. If Finn catches her we win!
"To bad." Ada said. She quickly bends and backflips, catching the ball in her hands as she comes back to a stand, she hurls the ball back to Finn.
"THAT'S SO UNFAIR! Finn move!" I yelled.
"And your out! The winner is Red Team!"
I sink to the ground, hanging my head down in shame.
"Aww that was no fun." I hear Ada say, passing by me. "Better luck next time Chris."
I stand back up and see Carla. I go up to her and tap her on the shoulder. She turns around and sucks her teeth, rolling her eyes, turning back around, brushing her long blonde hair back.
"What's your problem?" I said, turning her back around.
"You came between me and Ada. That's what."
And before I could say anything else, Carla scurries off to the locker room. I sigh to myself. 'Great, another looney who's gonna cause trouble for us.' I thought before heading off to the locker room.
Jills' POV
"Jessica! Stop blabbing and hurry over here!" I call out to her from down the hallway. Jessica turns around from talking to some girl, most likely Rachael, when she hears me and waves.
"Me and my sweet ass are on the way!"
Jessica quickly walks over to me.
"Well, ready to help tutor?" She says as she enters Mr. Duvall room. I simply nod my head yes. We enter the room but Jessica shoves me back with her shoulder so she could enter first. I regain my composure and go in behind.
"Oh Jessica! Jill! Over here." Mr. Duvall motions to where he is at. He was standing next to a boy, probably our mentee. He had medium length brown hair, a long sleeve gray shirt, dark green pants, and black boots. He had a little chunky face and had a slightly scruffy beard. Jessica and I made our way to him.
"Girls this is your-"
"Mr. Duvall! I can't teach Dario anything! He's to stupid." A girl called out over to us.
"Please don't call people that in my class! It's rude! I'll see you three later. I have to attend to the other students." Mr. Duvall then walked off to the girl who had previously called him. Jessica and I turn back to our mentee. He gave us a genuine smile.
"Uh hey you two. I'm pretty sure Mr. D told you about me, my names Parker."
He and I exchange a handshake.
"Hey, I'm Jill Valentine-"
"Wait, Parker? Omg! It's been so long!"
Jessica gently pushed me aside and hugs Parker. I sigh and roll my eyes. 'Here we go again.'
"Nice to meet you, Jill." Parker smiles before returning Jessica's hug. "And long time no see Jessica."
"You two know each other?" I ask as I pull out a chair take a seat. "If you knew him Jessica, why'd you act like you didn't-"
Right when I was going to sit down, I feel someone push me off.
"Oh thanks Jill!" Jessica said, taking the seat I pulled up. I smile and nod, not wanting to cause a scene.
"No problem Jessica," grabbing another chair, I take a seat. ",as I was saying about you two...?"
"Oh. Yeah we do know each other." Parker says, answering my question from before.
"He and I used to live in the same area." Jessica adds however I ignore her.
"So what is it exactly you need help with Parker?" I ask him.
"Trigonometry and Geometry. Once you start adding letters in the equation, I'm a complete mess." Parker chuckles, taking two math textbooks out from his bag.
"Don't worry Parker, I'm a math genius." Jessica says, brushing her medium length brown hair behind her shoulders. "You'll be acing your test in no time with me as your mentor! But first let me call my mom and tell her I have ninth period today." Jessica says, getting up and walking to the hallway.
I roll my eyes again in annoyance, although only Parker catches this. He chuckles to himself in amusement.
"Don't worry, she's not that bad to be around." Parker says to me.
"Yeah probably when she's not trying to smack on my boyfriend." I respond.
"Oh yeah, you're dating Chris Redfield right?"
"Yup. And let's just say Jessica's trying to become a little to friendly with him. Even though she knows I'm currently dating him."
"Yeah that's her. I remember back then she had quite the reputation for being a flirt sometimes." Parker laughs. I couldn't help but laugh with him. I could tell he was trying to brighten up this session because he knew I wasn't exactly on the best terms with Jessica.
"Sounds like you two were close before." I tell him.
"Yeah we were. Kinda like best friends. Guess moving to Raccoon City split us up."
"Your mean you're not from Raccoon City?"
"Not really. Neither is Jessica. Our parents were best friends, so naturally, we became best friends, then after Jessica's parents moved here, it was only a matter of time until mine did to."
"Wow... So where are you two from?"
"Terragrigia."
"Oh! Wasn't that place the worlds first aquaopolis?"
Parker nodded excitedly. It seems he takes a big amount of pride from his original hometown. Jessica could learn a thing or two from him.
"I'm back guys!"
In speak of the devil...
Jessica takes her seat again and begins to go on about how good she is in math. I block out her nonsense chatter and I suddenly feel an ominous chill go down my spine. Apparently it was noticeably because Jessica stopped and looked at me along with Parker.
"Jill? Are you alright?" Parker asks, as Jessica's face also held concern. I force a smile on my face.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Now let's get started on these math problems, shall we?" I reply, opening a math text-book although, even though I said I was fine, I couldn't shake this bad vibe I was getting. Pushing it to the back of my mind, I try to ignore it for now, but my stomach still churned at the simple thought of this odd feeling...
Well, this chapter went better than I had planned it. Carla's a little crazy in the head... is she obsessed or just really really respects Ada? Hmm... I can't say, I'll leave that up to your imagination hehe. Also what's up with Jessica? And what's the deal with Leon and Claire? Tune in next chapter, which I'm pretty sure some of you are wondering, will have Leons perspective of his and Claire's relationship! Things really heat up as I said before, things will be getting more serious, more drama, and a tad bit more darker, and longer chapters. Gee, I hope I can accomplish this! Until next time! I'll be playing my new obsession, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, hehehe *crawls back in room and locks door*
