Tada!! up and about just like I said :D Enjoy!
Chapter 3: Rumors.
"So, how did it go?" Janet asked.
"Well, I did what you said." Sam started.
"And..."
"And he was about to ask me to the dance... I think."
"About to?"
"We mixed up the wrong chemicals and were sent to the principal's office."
"Okay, not what I expected."
"Yeah, so anyway, we've got cleaning duty after school."
"Oh."
"That's all you have to say? Oh?"
"Well it's not that bad. At least you'll get to spend some time together... alone."
"Janet, I swear, you have a one-track mind."
"I know, but you love me anyway. Just look at it this way, it's a really great opportunity."
"I've followed your suggestions so far and look where it got me."
"It got you a whole hour alone with your biggest crush."
"Did you not hear the cleaning bit?"
"It'll be great. I just know it."
"Whatever you say." Sam sighed.
"Hey ,Teal'c!" Jack said as he met up with his best friend in the hall.
"Hey Jack. I heard about this morning. So, lab partners."
"Well it's a start, isn't it?"
"I also heard about a certain incident."
"Oh, for crying out loud!"
"As your friend, I believe it is my duty to tell you, you're screwed."
"Gee, thanks T. That's very helpful."
"You're welcome." Teal'c said as he left.
Jack rolled his eyes. Since Teal'c moved from Mozambique , he had learned a lot, but the guy still had a little trouble with sarcasm. Jack was heading for his math class when he bumped into Daniel.
"Oh, sorry." Daniel said. "Hey, do you know where class 316 is? I can't seem to find anything in this school."
"Yeah, I'm heading there right now. Guess we're in the same math class."
"Cool."
"So no one gave you the grand tour yet, huh?"
"Grand tour?"
"I'll take that as a no. I would offer to show you around after classes, but I've got detention."
"Detention? Why?"
"Oh, I just blew up a part of the classroom in chemistry, no big deal." Jack smiled at Daniel's
look. "Anyway, I've got graffiti duty after school with Sam."
"Oh."
"You know what's really annoying, usually this would be considered a good thing but now Sam
probably thinks I'm a total moron."
"Why?"
"You're so clueless it's not even funny. Look, I messed up in front of Sam so now she thinks I'm
an idiot."
"Oh."
"You obviously have a lot to learn." Jack said before they entered the math class.
"Ah, Mr. O'Neill." Mr. Jensen, the math teacher, greeted Jack. "I heard about your little
accident."
"News travels fast." Jack said.
"I'm sure your little stunt won't affect your chemistry grades." Mr. Jensen had made his fair share
of bets and was determined to get his point across. He put the emphasis on the word chemistry
hoping that Jack would get the hidden message.
"Um, yeah. Hopefully." Jack said. Was it him or was his teacher actually being nice to him?
"And you must be Daniel Jackson." The teacher said, as he turned his attention to the new kid.
"That's me."
"You can take any seat that's free. I'm sure one of your classmates will volunteer to bring you up
to speed."
Daniel took the free space next to Jack. He noticed that Sam was seated right behind Jack. Next
to Sam was a brunette and the two of them where giggling about something. Daniel faced back to
the front of the class since the teacher had started talking. During all of the second period, Daniel
felt as if he was being watched. Whenever he would turn around, there would be a few guys in the
corner pointing at him and laughing. Daniel had been bullied so many times in the past that he
could easily tell which students would become a problem.
When it was lunch time, Daniel could feel them staring at him even more. He figured a good way
to lose them would be to go outside. He found a good tree to hide... um, eat under. It was a good
day and Daniel wondered why they couldn't have classes outside. He started to dig into his
sandwich and began to get the feeling that he was being watched again. Only this time it felt
different. Daniel accidentally dropped his sandwich and heard a giggle. He looked up and saw the
same brunette that was in his math class. She jumped out of the tree and landed next to Daniel.
"Felt the need for some fresh air?" She asked with a smile.
"Yes. I see I'm not the only one."
"I find the cafeteria way too crowded." The girl said. "I'm Janet by the way."
"Daniel. You're Sam's friend, right?"
"That right." Janet said, a little surprised.
"Then maybe you could help me out a little."
"With what?" Janet asked, a little worried. If Daniel had a thing for Sam then it could cause a few
problems with her plans.
"Sam and Jack?"
"Ah, what's with them, you mean?"
"Yeah, I mean Jack obviously likes Sam but he seems to think that Sam thinks that he's a moron.
I don't really understand why. But in any case I was wondering what I might be able to do to help
him."
"Really?" Janet smiled. So Daniel didn't have a thing for Sam.
"You wouldn't know anything, would you?"
"I know that Sam's crazy about Jack but she's somehow deluded herself that it's only one way. "
"Oh. So what does that mean?"
Janet smiled again. This Daniel guy was kind of cute. "Well, by the sound of it, they're both
oblivious to how the other one feels."
"Yeah."
"So all they really need is a little kick to get them going."
"How do we do that?"
"We?"
"Um, well, me, I guess. I just thought that you..."
"Don't bother. I'm in and I have an idea."
"What?"
"Well, you know how Sam and Jack have detention after School."
"Ya, Jack mentioned it."
"Well, here's what I'm thinking..."
