Jess's POV:
ok its my turn now ...ahem...
Once we got to school, we went our own separate ways. Nuit and Louis went up to
their 10th grade classroom and I went to my 8th grade room. Suddenly my cell
phone rang. I looked around, making sure no teachers were nearby, then answered
it. It was Nuit.
"Hey Jess, I might not be able to walk you home today. I kinda got a
detention...hehe" "WHAT!" I said " It's the first day back, how do you get
detention on the first day back?"
"...Umm...apparently if you K.O. someone you get detention
"UGH. Whatever, I said, "I'll see you at home then"
"OK then, remember Japanese food tonight!"
"Kay. Bye," I said then hung up. Ugh how can my sister get detention on the
first day of school! Oh well. I should get going to my class now.
Nuit's POV:
When Louis and I walked to our floor, I heard a voice say, "So, back again and
still friends with 'gayer', Nuit?"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" I yelled, not even bothering to turn around to see who it
was. I knew. It was Rick Grallant, the stereotypical dumb jock that had been
trying to make me go out with him since I refused his offer for Junior prom. I
had instead gone with Louis as friends, as he couldn't get Madonna to answer any
of his letters. Because Rick hadn't been able to get me to be with him, he now
insulted Louis about his unknown sexuality every time he could.
"Come on Louis, be a man stand up for yourself. Or are you too delicate?" Rick
taunted. Louis put his head down and mumbled "I dont like to fight. I dont
believe in it"
"AWW look, Rick said, "the little gay cant even fight for himself."
In a rage of anger, I brought my fist straight into Rick's gut.
"AUGG!" He yelled doubling over.
Taking this opportunity, I brought my foot down over his back forcing him on the
floor. Straddling his back, I pulled his arm behind him sharply and said " DONT
YOU EVER INSULT LOUIS AGAIN YOU HEAR ME?"
"yes he whimpered.
I heard the tapping of high heels.
"Whats going on over here?... Nuit! What did you do to him! Let him go
immediately!" I did and slowly got up, facing "The Grinch."
She was the principal. At 5 foot 9 inches, she stood an impressive height over
me and with her scowl she could frighten even the bravest of teachers.
"Nuit Elena Schwartz, you are in big trouble unless you have a good reason for
doing this" She said.
"I do," I answered back, He was insulting both Louis and gay people."
"Rick! she gasped, We try to keep this school an open-minded community. You know
what? Detention for both of you. Nuit you are lucky that you aren't getting
worse. With that, she walked away mumbling, shaking her head and tsking about
kids today.
After all the excitement was done, Louis smiled and thanked me. Then he smirked
and said "Now you have to call Jess and tell her you got detention."
"Damn it! I said, She is going to be pissed."
I called her and she was pissed, but dealt with it and hung up. The rest of the
day I really dont remember. I slept through it mostly...HEHE
Jess's POV:
So after my student counsel meeting and Future leaders of America meeting, I
headed home. On the way home, I saw a sign for a yard sale. I love yard sales,
so I browsed through the boxes of stuff. I came across a small silver charm that
was a small model of the laughing and crying theater masks and had a small rose
etched into each side.
"EEK!" I gasped, "This is perfect! It is so beautiful!"
I quickly asked the old woman at the front how much it was. She glanced at it
then smiled a knowing smile. Thats when I looked at her appearance.
She had a long blond braid down her back and a long white dress on. In her hand
she held a cane and on her feet were ballet dancers shoes.
"That, my dear, is free for you. You found it and I haven't seen it in ages.
That charm, she continued, was from my great, great grandmother
"But then I cant possibly have it for free! I said.
"Child, she replied, it is mine to choose who to give it to and you seem like
you would understand it the most and make the most of it"
"Ok, I said a little confused.
I left, went home, and ordered the Japanese food. Then the door banged open.
"IM HOME!" I heard Nuit yell.
"OK! Im in the kitchen Im ordering the food."
"I'll set up the movie! she yelled back.
"YAY!" I replied.
"Um, excuse me? what are you saying? the man on the phone said .
...hm? OH yeah! Your on the phone. OK, I want 2 beef teriyakis and
Nuit's POV:
I came home and heard Jess on the phone. After we established that she was
ordering in, I told her I was going to set up the Phantom of the Opera DVD. The
phone then rang, "Hello? I said as I picked it up.
"Is this Nuit Schwartz?"
Um...yeah it is. Why? "
This is the Saint Vincent's Hospital, your friend Louis Capici was in a very
serious car accident."
"What! I shouted, starting to tear up.
Today at 5:00 your friend was coming home from the grocery store when a drunk
driver came swerving around the corner and crashed into him, causing him to
crash into a lamp pole. We took them both to the hospital but..."
"BUT what? I said, sinking lower into the chair. Jess, by now, had also picked
up the phone and her lip was starting to quiver. A sure sign she was about to
cry.
"Ahem.. but on the way, your friendhe...flat-lined. I am very sorry Ms.. Do you
know of any of his family members that we can call to have them take care of
funeral arrangements?"
" No, I sniffled, they all died when he was younger. I will take care of all
funeral arrangements."
"Ok miss. He is now at the Manhattan Mortuary. The number there is 1212-5-5678."
Thank you. Goodbye. and they hung up.
I felt a tear drip down my cheek and looked up to see Jess leaning over the back
of the chair starting to cry.
Oh Jess, I said, my voice cracking. She jumped over and we both cried, only
getting up to recieve the food we had ordered before. She put it in the fridge
and walked back over. We went over to my bed ( queen size) and cried ourselves
to sleep, holding each other the whole time.
Meanwhile downstairs a small charm lay forgotten within Jess's jacket pocket.
Forgotten in all the tragedy.
