The Labyrinth isn't done with you! Chapter 4: Jacklyn Kenneth
"Oh my gawd! Seriously! She totally heard us!"
"Yeah, but do you actually care? I mean, she's such a freak!"
"No! Of course not! Do you think I'm retarded? Hey-What's this?"
Jacklyn Kenneth, a red-hair, blue eyed snob, bent down and picked a little red book off the floor. Her friend beside her peered over her shoulder, and gasped. "Hey! Look at that!" She pointed to a name on the inside cover.
Jacklyn rolled her eyes. "Duh. I'm not blind." She looked down then, however, and read; 'This book belongs to Sarah Williams. If found, dial 555-2957.' Her eyes widened, and she grinned. "Well, we better return this to her, shan't we?"
Jacklyn's friend grinned. "Yeah, eventually. Is it a diary or something?"
"No, but it's apparently been read tons of times. And heeeey, somebody has a crush!"
Jacklyn pointed to a series of hearts that had been drawn with a blue pen around a sketch of an arrogant looking man, dressed in a blouse, blue breeches, and a leather vest. He looked quite kingly, to say the least.
They laughed about Sarah's childish fantasies, before a teacher stormed out into the hall. "TWO DEMERITS, GIRLS! GET TO CLASS!"
They went silent, and Jacklyn shoved the book in her backpack before she ran off to class.
She read it all during Language arts, and even during her break. She didn't normally read. Whatever she could get in a book, she could get on T.V faster, as she always said. But this one was actually good, and somewhat addicting.
Mm, that Goblin King sounded hot. She'd almost agree with Sarah and her obsession over him, (as it turns out, Sarah had crossed out the princess's name in the book with hers in the more romantic chapters) were she not such a complete and total loser.
She continued to read at every spare moment during her afternoon classes, rushing home to finish it there.
A/N: Incurably short chapter. At least I had an excuse for chapter 3 and it's short-ness. OO Please review!
