As much as I don't like the idea of Frankie and Jackson being together...it makes for a great story line and gives each character more roundness when it comes to high school. I mean no one ever just dates one person in high school...well some do and they are very rare and lucky people...Sorry to all Jackson/Frankie shippers, but that is my honest opinion on that. :D Oh and it is taking longer then I thought to get Holt out and about...in knowing I love both Jackson and Holt the same amount...I am feeling that this story is missing him...I hope my mind finally lets him come out. It is so aggravating when stories won't let you get to the part you want to get to! XD
Jackson sat in his Mad Science class waiting to see her walk in…he hoped he didn't make her to mad at him for insulting her magazines. He taped the table impatiently with is pencil…this never happened to him. This nervous action was going to drive him crazy…why did he have to be one of the first people in the class room? The bell soon rung and she was nowhere in sight, Jackson slumped down in his chair feeling miserable. Why did he have to insult her magazines? The door opened revealing a confused looking Frankie making Jackson's heart skip a beat.
"Miss. Stein, there is a seat by Mr. Jekyll." The teacher stated making Frankie jump, "He will be your partner until the end of school."
She walked over trying to avoid looking at Jackson in the eyes. Jackson knew she was still mad about lunch, but the only way he could make it right is to apologize and hope she takes it.
"Hey Frankie," Jackson whispered at the teacher started the lesson, explaining the experiment. "I am sorry about lunch I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."Jackson looked at the table and played with his paper.
Frankie watched Jackson out of the corner of her eye, he was cute…She didn't really understand why Cleo didn't like him. Everyone else in her group of friends didn't seem to mind having him around or even talking to him. "It's okay…I kind of over-reacted…well my friends told me I did." She played with her stitches in her wrist making Jackson look up and sit up a little more.
"No I shouldn't have said that," he chuckled, "even if your ghoulfriends where right."
Frankie giggled, but had to stop quickly earning a look from the teacher, "so Cleo is having a party and I know you are invited but I was hoping…" Frankie stopped short not really knowing where to go with what she was saying…ghouls never asked the guys it was always the guys asking the ghouls. She hoped Jackson wouldn't be offended.
"Uh…sure that's fine." Jackson said confused about how he just got a date with a girl he just met. This never happened to him…He never asked a girl on a date and a girl never asked him. This was amazing, the only problem was he didn't know how to react so he went on listening to the teacher…or at least try to…he already knew how do this experiment with his eyes closed. So all he could do was to think about the strange lovely girl next to him…the one he just got a date with…Frankie Stein the girl of his dreams.
Frankie started to spark when Jackson said yes to her. This was the most amazing thing ever! Frankie only hoped that Cleo wouldn't be to mad when she found out that she asked Jackson to go with her. Jackson did seem like a cool guy…in his own nerdy way. Like how he pulled out different notes when the teacher was explaining the experiment which Frankie was already lost and confused on…it also didn't help that she was to happy and excited about the party. First party ever! And she got a date! A real date that is.
"Uh…Jackson…these notes don't match what the teacher said." Frankie said as she looked over them when the teacher gave them permission to start working on the experiment.
"Yeah they are my own…" Jackson said putting the goggles and getting out the chemicals.
"But shouldn't we follow what the board says?" She asked biting her nails watching Jackson place the chemicals in a certain order on the table.
"I would if the board wasn't wrong." He stated plainly motioning her to put her goggles on which she did in a rush. "It will make what you need it to." Jackson explained as he pushed his goggles more securely in place reading the board, "but to get even better results you need to do a few extra steps."
Frankie watched Jackson work in awe…she never seen anyone work like he did. Carefully measuring out chemicals only looking over his notes to make sure he got the right amounts. "This should finish it." He said excitedly as he poured it in making a slight popping sounds blowing smoke up from it.
The teacher walked over to look at the experiment in front of him, "Great work Mr. Jekyll and Miss. Stein"
Jackson couldn't hide the delighted look on his face, "thank you sir."
"But maybe next time you will follow the board even though you have notes of your own." The teacher said smiling down at the normie who sunk in his seat. "I know you are good at science but let's try not to overdo it."
"I am sorry sir," Jackson said trying his best not to chuckle…this is the fourth time the teacher had this conversation with him. Cleo glared at him when the teacher gave him and Frankie an A for the day and let him and Frankie leave class early when they were done cleaning up.
Jackson and Frankie sat outside by a large oak tree when Frankie started to wonder how anyone would know to add more steps to an experiment. "So when did you start doing dangerous experiments?"
Jackson laid down throwing his hands above him, "I was always doing dangerous experiments when I was younger…my mother had a lab in our basement when I was only five years old." Frankie could see his eyes sparkle at he talked about those moments. "She was always doing something down there and I would go and help…it was the only time my mother and I really got along." Jackson shrugged not really caring about those lost memories. "Soon I was going down there by myself to do smaller experiments of my own creation…until I almost blew myself up then my mother thought it was a good idea to lock me out." Jackson looked a little sad by the last part but he laughed. "It didn't keep me out of course…I found a way to melt locks with acid when I was seven…so you can imagine the lecture I got from that when mother and father found out."
Frankie was shocked at the last part, "Where did a seven year old find acid?"
"My mother wasn't able to keep things hidden from me down there; I was able to sneak it out before she locked me out."
Frankie laughed as she tried to imagine a seven year old Jackson stealing acid from his mother's lab.
"So what is your story?" Jackson asked turning to his side to look at Frankie as she hid her face with her hair.
"I really don't have one…" She whispered out.
"Of course you do! I mean you had to get to where you are at somehow right?"
"Well I am only twenty days old…"
Jackson shook his head chuckling, "that explains the Stein as your last name…Man how could I be so blind?"
Frankie looked over confused at Jackson who was now sitting up, "What do you mean?"
"Frankie Stein…your father must be Frankenstein…or I at least hope." Jackson shifted uncomfortably hoping he hasn't offended her again.
"Yeah he is…he said I was created not born…I guess that is why I don't remember being seven years old since I am only twenty days old."
"That must have been hard to learn everything so quickly."
"Well my parents help me understand and learn…my father said he gave me a good brain."
"I believe he did." Jackson told her making her giggle and blush, "I mean you are a quick learner."
The bell rung signaling that the hour was over and they needed to head to their next lesson. "It's been nice talking to you Frankie," he said rubbing his arm and looking at his shoes.
"Yeah it has been…well I will see you tomorrow or…sooner." Frankie said as she picked up her things before dropping them. "Oh dang it!"
Jackson grinned at her as he helped her pick up her items before waving good bye heading to his next lesson. Jackson Jekyll was finally loving Monster High…nothing not even Manny can ruin this school for him. A place where he finally fit in! Or at least for now.
