Chapter 6
At lunch recess, Azura confronted Sally alone.
'Good thing Jack got a lunch detention today, bow I have her all by herself.'
"Hi Sally." Azura said in a horribly fake sweet voice.
"Hi." Sally said shyly.
'Enough with the "I am so scared and innocent act"' Azura thought.
"Listen Sally," Azura said in her false sweet tone "how do I put this…"
"Put what?" Sally asked
"You see, Jack doesn't like you the way you think he likes you." Azura said meanly but making it sound sweet.
"W-what…" Sally asked in shock.
"Actually, he doesn't like you at all," Azura explained " he's just being nice to you because his father, you know the Pumpkin King, said if he's gonna be King he has to be friends with everyone."
"R-really." Sally said on the verge of tears.
"Yeah so maybe you shouldn't hang around him so much," Azura rudely finished as the bell rang "oh that's the bell."
Azura got up and ran to the door, winking at Jack as she passed him.
Jack's POV
'Uck! Why would she think I would respond to that!' Jack thought repulsively 'Oh there's Sally.'
Jack smiled as Sally looked up at him. Instead of a small smile back, Sally burst into tears and ran off.
"Sally!" Jack called after her as she ran out of the schoolyard.
" W-why was she so upset….AZURA!" Jack began calmly and when he reached the answer became extremely irate.
Jack burst through Ms. Elephante's music classroom door. (This was Azura's 5th period class)
"Jack must you be so loud?" Ms. Ellephante scolded
Calming himself Jack smoothly said:
"Sorry Madam" he politely addressed her "but I need to speak with Azura."
Azura, who thought he was going to take her out on a romantic date as they ditched school, jumped up.
"Ok but make it quick." Ms. Ellephante chided.
Once outside the door, Jack glared at Azura.
"What did you do!" he fiercely hissed.
"What!" Azura said greatly taken aback.
"Sally's run off and I saw her crying, what did you do!" Jack deathly whispered.
" Oh that," Azura said practically shrugging it off causing Jack to become angrier.
"What did you say!" Jack growled
"I just told her that you didn't like her, you know have a crush on her." Azura explained like she did not care.
"What!" Jack fumed.
"I told her she was wasting her time flirting with you because you don't like her in that way." Azura began to raise her voice.
"Sally…" Jack whispered.
"So Jack do you wanna…" Azura began but cut herself off.
Jack was tearing down the hall and heading for the exit.
"Uhhhhh JACK." Azura called after him.
"I've gotta find Sally." Jack thought determinedly "she must be in the graveyard.'
With that Jack sprinted for the graveyard.
