Author: Thanks to everyone who reviewed the first chapter! I promised it would get better and it is. But I hope everyone likes this chapter! REVIEW!
Jack walked into his house and found his mother sitting at the table reading the paper. "Hey sweetheart, how was school?" she asked smiling at her youngest boy
"Interesting." He replied, smiling as well.
"What do you mean sweetheart?"
"I met a girl today. A new girl actually."
"Really?"
"Yeah, but she's a real bitch ma. I mean that girl thinks she is Gods gift to earth or something."
"What did you say to her?"
"I was just trying to help her get to her classes and she shot me to hell the first chance she got. I mean this girl was the most beautiful person I have ever seen. Ma I don't know what to do with her though."
"Be yourself Jackie, that's all you can be." She told him smiling "But I need you go get ready for dinner and call your brothers."
"Ok." He got up from the table and headed for the stairs.
Kennedy walked into her 2 story house expecting no one to be home, but she heard a loud noise come from the kitchen and knew immediately she wasn't alone. She slowly walked into the kitchen to see what happened and found her father sitting at the table. "Hey daddy." She whispered. Her father looked up at her but then looked back down at his work he was working on.
"Did you have a good day at school today?"
"Yes sir, it was just a normal day at school."
"Why are you late coming home?"
"I stayed at school talking to some people that I met. I met a girl name Jenna that lives across the street from us and some annoying boy name Jack who showed me where my classes were." she lied. He couldnt ever find out that she was in detention.
"Well I need you to make dinner, and then start on your homework."
"Is Sara not here?"
"No I gave her the day off. So I need you do her work for her."
"I have a lot of catching up to do in school."
"You can catch up after you make dinner."
"Yes sir." She replied finally giving in. "What would you like?"
"Anything it doesn't matter. I won't be eating tonight. I have a lot of work to do."
"Then what's the point in me making dinner?"
"Are you questioning me?" her father asked shooting his head up towards her
"No sir, I just didn't know the point in me making dinner if you aren't going to eat it."
"Because I said so." He yelled slamming his fist on the table.
"I'm sorry daddy. I'll make dinner right now." Kennedy told him. She dropped her bag by the door and went back to the kitchen. "How was work today?" she asked trying to get back on his good side
"It was work. I had some nagging girl keep calling me to try to get an interview. Two people didn't show up and I had to find someone to work for them." He never lifted his head from his work. Sometimes Kennedy felt like she was just another girl working for her father, instead of being his daughter. He hardly acknowledged her and when he did it was always his fist across her mouth because of some smartass remark she would make. "Tell me more about this boy you met today."
She accidentally dropped her spoon. She didn't want to talk about Jack because she knew he would ask too many questions. "I don't know, he was just so annoying. He helped me find my classes and still wouldn't leave me alone. He asked to be my friend at lunch and I just walked past him."
"You don't need to be friends with anyone here. They are low life nothings, and you don't deserve any of them."
"He kept talking about his mother though. He kept telling me everything his mother taught him. He spoke highly of her."
"I bet his father is in prison somewhere and I bet he is probably on his way there too."
"He wasn't a bad kid daddy, just annoying."
"Don't tell me that you might actually like this boy."
"No of course not. He annoyed me too bad."
"Yeah I bet."
Kennedy looked up and saw her father staring straight at her. "Kennedy come here." He declared. She slowly walked over to where her father was sitting. "You listen to me and you better listen good. You will not have anything to do with this boy again. He is nothing but trash and I don't want you hanging around trash. Now Jenna, seems nice. I met her father the other day. He is a lawyer down at the firm that I work for. You stick with her and I know everything will work out fine here."
"Yes sir." She bent down and kissed her father on the cheek before going back to cooking. She could feel her cheeks getting hot. Her father was always telling her to stick with her social status and to stay away from trash, but there was just something about Jack Mercer that made Kennedy want to know more.
The next morning Kennedy arrived at school and found Jack at his locker. She looked at him but remembered her father's words and just walked past him. She spotted Jenna, the girl she met yesterday and decided to make friends. "Hey, Jenna right?" Kennedy asked walking up her.
"Yeah."
"Sorry about yesterday. I was just having a bad day."
"Oh that's ok. Sorry you got detention."
Kennedy laughs "Its ok."
"Would you like to eat lunch together today?"
"Yeah that would be nice."
"Hey Kennedy." Jack replied walking up to them "Hey Jenna, how are you?"
"I'm good Jack. How are you?"
"I'm good."
"How's Ms. Evelyn?"
"She's good. She has been wondering when you are going to bring your mother back over for some cookies and tea."
"Tell her whenever she would like."
Jack looked over at Kennedy and saw that she wasn't even looking at him. "Listen, I'll see you at lunch but I need to get to class. I forgot to do my homework last night and I need to go do it right quick." Kennedy lied, but quickly walked away
"What's with her?" Jack asked
"I don't know. I saw you talking to her yesterday at lunch. Care to explain?" Jenna asked with a smile
"I was just seeing how her first day went. I had to help her find her way around. She can be a little bitch though. Reminds me of you when I first met you."
"We were 10 years old Jack. How the hell do you remember that far?"
"Because you were a little bitch."
"You annoyed me."
"Whatever, little miss rich thing thinking my daddy gets me everything I want because he's a lawyer."
"Yeah well, you befriended me when that boy pushed me off the monkey bars."
"Well, if I didn't want to kill him in the first place I would have just let you cry but he owed me money."
Jenna started laughing "10 years old and already had someone owing you money. It never stops."
"What are you talking about? I have grown up since then."
"Right…keep telling yourself that Jack Mercer." Jenna replied giving him a playful push. He grabbed her by the arms and just hugged her. "You want me to talk to her?" Jenna asked knowing exactly what Jack wanted.
"Would you?" Jack asked looking down at her
"I thought you would never ask. I can read minds don't you remember?"
"Yeah I remember."
"I read your mind yesterday when I saw you at lunch with her."
"She just appeals to me and I don't know why."
"Jack you are so whipped and you hardly know the girl."
"Whatever Jenna, you're just jealous because its not you." Jack smirked but walked away so she couldn't hit him.
"Just remember Mr. Mercer I control your love life now." She replied smiling at him.
"Did I have tell you that you are my best friend and I love you?" Jack asked wrapping his arms around her. Jenna starts laughing as they made their way to their class.
Kennedy turned around as she walked to the classroom and saw Jack still talking to Jenna. What was so special about him that she couldn't take her eyes from him. All night last night she kept thinking about him and what her daddy kept telling her. She went to go into the classroom and saw Jack embrace Jenna in a hug. Everything Kennedy just felt for Jack was just shot to hell. She knew he had to be too good to be true, someone was bound to have him. She let her head fall as she walked into the classroom. Great, another day in hell, and she couldn't escape.
