"Okay class, the numbers that your lockers are located is locker number 112-140." said Mr. Henry, the English teacher. "You may go there and choose which locker you want. After you come back, you will tell me the locker number that you have and your locker combination. You will have 10 minutes. You may all go now."
"Hey Jacky, lets get lockers beside each other, mkay?" asked Francine.
"Sure."
Francine grabbed Jacky's hand and pulled her towards the assigned area, leaving behind the Brain.
"So what's this thing I hear that you want to go with the Brain to the Sugar Bowl?" asked a curious Francine.
"How...what...you were eavesdroppin' on us??"
"Sorry, but a girl can't help to listen to other people's conversation..especially when its about a girl and guy going somewhere alone with no one else..."
"I'm starting to think that hanging out with Muffy all those years has changed you..." muttered Jacky.
"It's alright Jacky, I won't tell anyone about your little convo with the Brain."
"You better not." snapped Jacky.
Just as they finished talking, the Brain came up.
"Hey, is it alright if I take this locker beside you" asked the Brain.
"No, you can't." Jacky said bluntly.
The Brain looked a little hurt.
"I'm just kiddin'!" laughed Jacky. "You can have that locker."
The Brain just smiled.
They returned to their classroom, and waited till the bell went off announcing that first period was over.
As soon as the bell went, Jacky grabbed her stuff and went to her locker. The Brain caught up a few seconds after.
"Why are you in a rush?" asked the Brain
"Its just that I don't want Buster to see and tag along with us."
"Well why don't you want Buster to come?" asked the Brain as closed his locker and locked it.
"I just wanted to talk to you alone or somethin'. But if you don't want to, its fine by me." Jacky locked her locker and started to walk away.
The Brain couldn't tell if she was angry or not. "Oh God, did I fuck this up?" thought the Brain. He was mentally fighting himself and decided to go after her. Just as he turned the corner to find Jacky, he bumped into someone.
"Woah buddy, why are you in a rush?" asked Buster.
"Oh erm... I um..needed to go to the bathroom?"
"The bathroom is right behind you Brain..." Buster gave a quizzical look.
"Oh..er.. I..uh..have to go, I'll catch up with you later." the Brain rushed past Buster. Buster, on the other hand was confused and wanted to see what was up.
