During Humanology class, I get a text from Jackson.
Jackson: Busy?
I place my I-coffin under my desk and on my thigh, so the teacher won't see.
Me: In Humanology class but I can talk. What is it?
Jackson: I wanted to tell you that the game ends at 6:00p.m.. Do you want me to take you to my house after the game?
I think about it for a moment. If I leave the game with Jackson, the ghouls might find it suspicious. I do have a drivers license but no car and need to stop by my house to pack for a overnight stay.
Me: One of the ghouls are gonna drop me off at my house after the game. I need to get some things there to stay overnight with you. You don't mind picking me up from my house?
Jackson: Not at all. I'll pick you up at 6:30.
Me: Thanks
"Since when do you text in class?" Says a pink vampire next to me.
I quickly turn my I-coffin off and slip in between my thighs. "Since today." I hiss.
"Who are you texting?" Draculaura whispers.
"Jackson. About the game tonight." I whisper back.
"Awww! About what? I feel my hair stand up.
"We are just talking about how nervous we are about the game. You know, he's worried about Casketball and I'm worried about our routine failing." I answer quickly and quietly.
Draculaura doesn't look convincing. She raise her eyebrow at me. "What are you talking about? You are one of the best fearleaders on our team." She whispers.
"I just feel nervous because this is the boys biggest game of the season. I'm worried about them, even boyfriend." I reply. Great white lie Frankie!
"Tell Jackson to take a deep breath and I say Hi." Draculaura smiles.
I nod and turn back to look at the board and the teacher.
Hours pass, lunch time. I'm excited to talk to Jackson and the others in one spot. I enter in the Creepateria and see monsters in the lunch line, filling seats, talking and laughing. I walk over to the lunch line, get my food and see Clawd, Cleo, Draculaura and Jackson, waving me over to a table. I sit down and we all talk about homework, the game and after.
During all this, I feel Jackson's fingers touch the side of my thigh. Without asking or looking, I grab his hand and interview our fingers together. I turn to him and sees his smile. I just smile sweetly in return. We all finish our food and the bell rings. Everyone runs out, leaving me and Jackson the last ones to exit the room.
"Draculaura says not to worry about the game." I say to him as we walk out the door.
"Tell her thanks." He smiles.
I look down to my watch on my wrist. "12:20. Only three hours until school ends and it's game on at 4:30!" I shout in the halls, making Jackson chuckle.
"I think Holt's nature is rubbing on you Frankie." And places his hand in mine.
"Oh, you think so?" I say sarcastically, smirking.
He smiles at me. "I love you Frankie."
"I love you too Jackson." I get on my tip-toes and kiss Jackson's noes, making him blush.
"We need to go to class. See you in Mad Sicence class." He says and release my hand and I ran to the next class, waving goodbye to him.
At 2:25p.m., the bell rings and I run out to get to Mad Science class. I run through many monsters in three halls and four corner, desiring to spend more time with Jackson before the game and tonight. And also I like Mad Science class. I open the door and look for Jackson. I see our seats but not him. I sit down and wait for him. Within one minute, Jackson shows up. I wave to him and he smiles.
"What took you so long?" I tease.
"The bell hasn't even rung yet." Jackson playfully pouts, sitting down next to me, then the bell rings.
"Alright everyone, class is in session!" Mr Hack yells at us. We look at him as he makes threats and starts the lesson.
As we listen, Jackson fingers me again. I feel the heat rise in my stomach and take a deep breath. We hear about mixing chemicals and given a pop quiz on chemical reactions before the bell rings. Time to get ready for game time.
