Days at ABJH
Chapter 3 - Lunch and Bad News
Spike and Gren walked into the cafeteria, Spike silently cursing it as he did every day. He walked past the tables and grinned to himself as all heads turned to watch him and Gren walking together.
"Hn." Spike shifted his gaze to the left to see Gren smirking next to him and shaking his head as if he thought the people in this school couldn't be stupider. Spike was once again reminded of Faye, who constantly reminded him how stupid and lowly everyone else was.
Spike didn't have any money for food so he sat down with Faye and Ed and Gren left to go get his lunch.
"Who was that?" Faye asked as soon as Gren was out of earshot. Spike looked at her before answering. Her voice said that she didn't really care but her eyes said that she was very interested. So Spike grinned to himself and responded,
"Gren, the kid who fits in perfectly with us. And he has the cute, but hopeless sister Julia." he added glancing over to where Julia sat. He tried not to seem too surprised when she noticed him looking at her and waved at him from across the cafeteria. Although he didn't wave back, he did flash her a smile.
When Spike snapped his head to look at Faye, she was muttering to herself and staring suspiciously in Gren's direction, as if she expected his dark blue eyes and hair to suddenly turn pink and watch him kiss the girl next to him. Spike rolled his eyes; he knew she was obviously interested. But Faye was an untrusting person, especially to guys. And he also thought Faye probably didn't even catch the last part of his comment about Julia.
When Gren got back over to the table, Ed was stretching her fingers and preparing to eat the lunch she had brought. The only times Ed ever got off her laptop was when eating and chasing little animals outside.
"Mmm. Yummm." she said loudly, smacking her lips. Gren looked at her questionably.
*Achoo*
Faye sneezed and blushed quickly as Gren turned to her.
"Take care," he said, smiling warmly. Spike's eyebrows went up, again, as they had many times that day. As he pondered that as Faye and Gren were liking each other more and more.
"What?" Faye looked up, her eyes wide and her nose red.
"Take care" Gren repeated, "If no one says that when you sneeze, you'll turn into a fairy"
Faye turned a bit darker red, grinned and replied, "But I already am a fairy."
"Wooooo-oooo" Ed interrupted their little heartwarming moment as she swayed back and forth in her seat. Both Faye and Gren jumped and glared at her. But they jumped again, along with Spike, as a droning voice echoed through the cafeteria.
"Spike Speigel, Faye Valentine, and Ed. Report to the office immediately. You have a phone call."
"Oh shit" Faye put her face in her hand.
"Hey maybe it's about Jet" Spike said, more interested then usual in the sound of the monotone principles voice.
Ed was already running to the office and Spike and Faye walked quickly by everyone. Gren followed behind, not wanting to be left alone at their table. Spike would never admit it, but Jet was like his brother and he was worried that maybe something happened to him on the way to school. He looked at the ground, trying not to think of all the possible things that could have happened.
When they got to the office Ed was on the phone and was looking stiff and rigid. Spike was now sure that whatever happened it must be horrible. Ed was never, NEVER stiff like she was now. Faye gasped just at the sight of Ed and Spike tried not to look at her.
"Spike?" Ed said, in a voice very unlike her own. "Jet's mom. wants to talk to you."
Spike didn't try to hold back the shock in his face as he took the phone and was told in a calm and sad voice that Jet was cornered and got into a street fight as he was walking to school. Spike pulled over a chair and sat down as Jet's mother told him how Jet had tried to get away and when he couldn't, he tried to fight. One of the guys in the group pulled out a gun and shot him in the arm. It caught him right in a major blood vessel between his shoulder and top of the arm and he was rushed to a hospital after a passerby saw what happened and called the ambulance. Spike's eyes widened even more as she told him, Jet had to have his arm amputated so he wouldn't lose any more blood.
(A/N: I suck at writing heartfelt conversations and shit like that, so I just kinda skipped it, sorry)
It was the end of the day and Spike was walking home slowly, thinking about his day and all the things that had happened.
When Faye finished talking to Jet's mother the three of them had gotten picked up by her and drove over to the hospital to see Jet. They were allowed to leave as a "Family crisis" but Gren wasn't allowed to, as he didn't know Jet at all. So he stayed at school as they all visited Jet and skipped the rest of the afternoon.
It was now about 4:00, two hours after school was let out. Spike was walking home from the hospital and clearing his mind. Jet would get a fake arm and would be fine. No different from before. He thought of Gren and was glad he had gotten his phone number before they left. Spike felt bad for the guy, all his new comrades (A/N: () had left on his first day of school and he was left with a bad reputation and no one but his sister. Spike's mood lightened as he thought of Gren and Julia.
"I didn't think about the fact that having Gren's number is the same as having Julia's." he said aloud. He did a sort of hop over the next square in the pavement and made up his mind. When he got home he would call Gren and after he was done talking to her he would ask if him and Julia wanted to got to the mall with him and his friends when Jet got better.
Spike walked into his house, kicked off his shoes, and turned on the radio to his mother's oldies rock station which was playing "She Fuckin Hates Me". He ran up the stairs singing "nananana" and thinking about Julia.

Okay people. thanks soooo much for the reviews. I know my stories aren't the best and you guys didn't put me down at all. But you didn't go bonkers about how great it was when I know you know it wasn't.
