JR stared at the window. 'Clouds are so cute, sailing across the sky. I wish I could do that' she thought. '…wait a minute, I can do that' she added, feeling a bit stupid.
"Miss Long?"
'I wonder what Kara meant by he asking me out'
"Miss Long?"
'Could he be really him?'
"MISS LONG, I WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR IN MY CLASS!"
JR jumped as she heard the yell of her very pissed mythology teacher.
"W-what?" she said.
"THAT'S IT! DETENTION THIS AFTERNOON!" Mr. Rotwood shouted angrily.
"What! But professor, I've got-"
"NO BUTS! GO TO DETENTION OR I'LL CALL YOUR PARENTS!"
"Aw man"
JR exited the school after her one hour torment with Rotwood. He had given her a lecture about being attentive to whatever he has to say because he is a genius and all those other brainless stuff.
"I am late again, daddy is so going to kill me" JR murmured to herself as she quickly put on her blades.
"Yo, J!"
JR turned. Andy was coming towards her.
"So, how was it?" he asked.
"Torture" she replied and stood up. "Listen, Andy, I've gotta run, my dad's going to throw a fit, I'm an hour late for training" she said.
"Ok. I'll go with you" Andy said.
"Thanks. I really-"
"Hey, JR"
She turned once again and saw Chris behind her.
"Oh, um… hey, um… Chris" she stammered, completely forgetting everything around her. Ever since Kara's prediction, she had been really awkward around him.
"Were you going somewhere?" Chris asked.
"Um, I… uh-"
"In fact, she was" Andy said with a little coldness in his voice as he pushed her forward.
"Oh, ok. See you tomorrow!" Chris said as Andy and JR left.
As soon as Chris was out of sight, JR took Andy's hands off her.
"Andy! What did you do that for!" she asked him.
"Do what?" he replied.
"That thing you said. You didn't have to brush Chris off"
"You're late, remember? You couldn't afford any more delays"
"Chris is not a delay" JR responded.
"Then, what do you call me then? A present from heaven, of course, that would be the best way to describe him, wouldn't it?"
JR stared at him.
"Andy, what's wrong? Why are you so angry at Chris?" she asked.
"I'm not angry" Andy replied, crossing his arms. He had taken his eyes off her.
"Yes, you are. You're always so cold when he's around, what is going on?" JR insisted.
"Nothing!"
"Andy, stop acting like a jerk!" JR said angrily.
"So, I'm a jerk now?" he replied heatedly. "Look, I just think that Chris is bad news, J"
"What! How can you say that?" JR retorted. "Chris is our friend!"
"Correction, your friend. I don't like that guy"
"Andy, you're being like a protective jerk. There's nothing wrong with Chris. If you ask me, something's wrong with you!" JR almost shouted. That's when she wished she hadn't said a thing.
Andy looked upset and hurt. "Maybe you're right. But if you choose a guy you met just days ago over me, fine" he said then left.
"Andy! Andy, wait!" JR called. She tried to go after him but her roller blade hit something, she tripped and fell.
"Stupid prediction" she muttered.
