Ch. 4 Language




"Jordan, do you know how hard it is not to talk for a whole day?! It's horrible! Umm, who are you and why are you and why are you hovering behind Jordan?"
"Laurie, calm down. This is Jareth, Jareth, Laurie."
"Hey, aren't you that guy from the Labyrinth? Why are you here? You don't belong here. And how do you know Jordan? You're not in "love" with her the way you were with Sarah, are you? Because if you are-"
"Laurie! Slow down, and maybe even breath! Please!"
"It's all right Jordan." Jareth now turns to Laurie, who is looking extremely annoyed.
"Yes, I am the guy from the Labyrinth, the Goblin King in fact. I'm here because I feel like it. No, I'm not in love with Jordan, and as for Sarah Williams is concerned, she's a stuck up bitch. Besides, I'm a Fae. Damnit! You have me doing it now too! I mean gay. Does that answer all your questions?"
"Oh, well I guess you're ok then. Just don't let me catch you doing anything!" Laurie pauses, looking devious all of a sudden. "You wouldn't by any chance want another goblin would you? Because if you do, my sister would make a wonderful candidate, she already has some goblin like qualities."
"I'll think about it." Jareth gives me a weird look. I've been laughing since the whole gay fae thing.
"Jordan, would you please stop laughing. It's not that funny."
"Hey, I haven't laughed in a while, so lay off. Katie!!!!!!! It's you, it's you, it's really, really you!"
"Hi. Umm, what's so funny?"
I point at Jareth. "His face. It's not funny funny, only funny."
"Would you stop that! Why did Mr. Smith have to say that?"
"I don't get it."
"It's ok Jareth, you are blond after all."
Jareth gives me a funny look. "If you haven't noticed, so are you."
"I give Jareth a wide eyed look. "I am? Since when? Like, I so didn't know that."
Katie is now giggling uncontrollably.
"Jordan, you did that way to well. It frightened me!"
"Laurie, that's the point.." I look up as Ms Schaffer walks in.
"Ok ladies, time to take a seat."
"I'm a guy."
"I was talking to them, not you, but you need to take a seat as well."
"Come on Jareth, over here."
As Ms Schaffer starts handing out verb agreement worksheets, Laurie groans. "Not these again! Oh, well, looks like I'll have a full hour to read. Either that, or you can teach me how to use crystals, right Jareth?"
"Umm, no, I think not."
"Well, why not?"
"Because I don't think that a mortal like you could handle that kind of magic."
I look at Jareth, why doesn't he want to teach Laurie? "You know Jareth, you're a really bad lair, or maybe it's just that I know that us "mortals" can use crystal. Why don't you want to teach her?"
"Jordan, can we talk about this later? Your teacher is giving us a really odd look."
"All right, during competitive theater, we have lunch next, so we won't get any talking done there."
I almost forgot about lunch. I should be frightened. Considering how the bus was, and that was only with Joe and Amanda. Who knows what lunch will be like. Hell, I'm going to have to put up with the Antonio club! Oh dear...
