"So, Jake, you just came today, right? Well, being class president, I
find it my duty to show you the school...Are you up for it?"
"No thank you Kelly, I've got someone to show me the school."
I joined the party about then. I got the 'You're my savior' look from Jake, and the exact opposite from Kelly. Apparently she thought that I was the person Jake was talking about.
"Hi Suze, I was just introducing myself to Jake here? Do you know him?"
Her eyes got scary and bulgy when I nodded, and they threatened to pop when Wraith walked out of the bathroom and slipped an arm around Jake's waist.
"Having fun, J.Latt? New people, scary fun."
J.Latt? What the hell is that?
"I do wish you wouldn't call me that."
"Hence the point of me calling you that."
I was still confused, even more so by the fact that Wraith was looking at Kelly with venom...ooooh...this could get interesting...
"So, Kelly, is there something you need?"
She was staring at Wraith's hand in disbelief. She jerked a little, and then slowly stalked away. "Oooh Jake, she likes you."
"Shut up. She's not my type."
Wraith smiled a little and then Jake put his arm around her shoulders.
"Now, haven't I told you about calling me J.Latt?"
"Not to do it, but since when have I done what I'm told?"
Jake raised his eyebrow at her, but she pulled away and turned to him with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"What are you going to do if I call you that again?"
He smirked and put his hands on his hips.
'I'd have to teach you a lesson."
"Right...J.Latt."
With a start, they both took off running. I heard Wraith laughing maniacally as she shoved through the crowd. I followed, and when I reached the table where Ceecee and Adam were sitting, also enjoying the show, Wraith decided to join us. She stopped abruptly ten feet from the table, but Jake wasn't as quick about it. He skidded to the ground, and his leg hit Wraith in the ankles, taking her down with him. There was a large oof sound and then I leaned over to see Wraith sprawled on the ground, with Jake under her. With a groan, she sat up, and then turned around so she could straddle him. He didn't look too downtrodden about it, if you know what I mean. They were both breathing hard, and Wraith moved out of the straddling position to full out lay on him.
"I won."
Jake chuckled, lifted his arms, hugged her, and then simply said,
"For now."
When they had stopped laying with each other and panting on the ground, Jake helped Wraith stand up, only to have her collapse on his lap at the table. I remembered mom now, so I asked Wraith if she wanted to come over. Jake answered for her.
"Maybe tomorrow...We need to get home and see to a few things."
He looked at me cryptically and then put his arm on her shoulder, her injured one. Oh yeah. I nodded and then heard the big clock chime one. Time to go back to class, damn.
Jake's POV
When Wraith and I got back to the manor, Jack instantly smoked in.
"I believe the wound opened up at school?"
I nodded, not even caring that he had probably done a mind whammy on me to get that information from me. I was used to it by now.
"We'll need to do a healing ritual...You wouldn't mind sitting with her again tonight would you? In case it opens up, because we'll need to take out the stitches."
I nodded again and we walked up the left staircase to Wraith's room. When I opened the door for her to go in, I was over taken by the colors. Her room is decorated in the colors of the ocean. Her walls are deep blue, her carpet is a royal purple, and her bed is black with sea green canopy bed curtains. She walked over to the bed and sat down, while I sat down in the large seat she had put right next to her bed, just for me. You have no idea how happy that made me when she first got it. Wraith laid down and Jack stood by her, holding his hand out over her shoulder. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate, and as I watched, the stitches I had done earlier that day were carefully cut and began to pull out. I saw her wince, and I knew that it was causing her a lot of pain. Once that was done, muscles began to twitch around the wound, and tendons of flesh began to rapidly grow and cover the hole left by the arrow. When Jack was done, it was closed, but I still had to sit with her in case it opened back up again while she slept, so she wouldn't bleed to death. Jack nodded at me and then left the room. Wraith was in a semi comatose state, which sometimes happens after a healing, it's natural and comes from having an outside force change the body's healing process. I slumped back in my chair and sat staring at her as she lay there...Don't think that I'm some kind of psychotic freak, I simply enjoyed watching her sleep. It's one of the only times she looks peaceful, which makes sense considering what she's been put through in her life. I just sat there like that for about twenty minutes, until she came to. She suddenly just opened her eyes, turned her head to me, and asked how long she was out. I told her the approximate time, (22 minutes, 49 seconds...Hey, I don't have much else to do, Do I?) She groaned and stood up, and I followed suit.
