Chapter 2 - The Meeting

"All staff and students, please report to the auditorium immediately" Mr. Fredrick's told us to get in a line and follow him to the auditorium. Jack hated these "important" meetings. He sat down quietly, smiling like it was a joke.

Kim stepped inside the auditorium quietly. She sat in the back of the room, so she could block out the noise more easily. She saw Jack laughing on the other side of the room. She rolled her eyes as the principal began to talk .

"The school board suggested we start something new" Milton looked down sadly as the principal spoke. Milton didn't want to be here anymore than Jack or Kim. He didn't want to be in the auditorium, the school, home, or even Seaford. He felt like he didn't belong anywhere.

"A project" Jerry heard some music playing in the background. He tapped his hands a feet a little, he couldn't help but smile. The music stopped and so did Jerry. His life went back to being terrible. He slouched down in his chair, waiting for something to happen.

Eddie made sure he was behind Jack, but it was a little hard since Jack was in the back row. He decided to just stand by the door and watch from there. "Five students and one past teacher will participate in this, whether you like it or not" Eddie found this extremely pointless since he was never picked for anything. No one ever wanted to be on his team.

Rudy Gillespie sat in the auditorium. He was surprised to be invited and surprised that they literally begged him to come. They told him of the great "importance" of the meeting. He wanted to decline, but he couldn't help coming. Rudy had to know why it was so important to the school that he came.

"Now you'll be picked randomly from this giant bowl of names" Jack lied back in his chair impatiently. He felt someone staring at him, but when he turned to look no one was there. He ignored it and put his feet on the chair next to him. "The first student is...Jack Brewer" Jack put his feet down slowly and looked up.

The project suddenly became of interest to him. He stood slowly, the whole auditorium was silent. All eyes on Jack. He walked to the stage, every step he took seemed like the loudest thing anyone's ever heard. Jack gulped and walked up the steps then to the center of the stage. Everyone stared at him strangely, they knew he was scared.

"Alright, everyone. Quit staring. The second student is...Kimberley Crawford" everyone gasped, Kim looked at the stage. She stood up trying to hide the fear in her face. Being called up in front of the whole school is terrifying. She took a deep breath and starting walking.

Everyone whispered as she walked by. She looked up at Jack, he was getting closer every step. They exchanged looks, Kim had a bad feeling about the project. Jack mad room for Kim when she got up there. She looked at the audience, it made her feel so small.

"The third student is...Milton Krupnick" there were many whispers of who the boy was. Nobody really knew Milton. He looked up slowly, but he stayed in his chair "Come on, don't be shy". Milton stood up very shaky.

As he walked by he heard everyone laughing at his appearance. He walked up the steps and looked at the populars. Jack and Kim, the people that he hated the most. They ruined his life, yet here stood. On the auditorium stage, in font of the school, standing next to them.

"The fourth student is...Jerry Martinez" Jerry quickly stood up. Some kids knew him, he walked down the aisle. He exchanged rude looks to Jack and Kim. As soon as he got n stage he muttered to Kim "Thanks, for ruining my life" Kim was immediately taken aback.

"As for you thanks for making it ten times worse" he told Jack. Jack got angry, but he ignored it. Jerry stared at the crowd, his stomach dropped to the ground. He felt like throwing up. There must of been at least 6,000 eyes times two staring at him.

"The last student is...Eddie Johnson" Eddie walked into the auditorium quietly. He looked up at Jack and sighed, he saw Kim and felt like crying. He saw Jerry and smiled; he saw the nerd, Milton, and felt sad.

Eddie made his way up the stage, a couple of people yelled "LOSER!" Eddie looked down sadly, but he kept walking "That's enough" the principal said. Jack and Kim felt terrible inside, they knew it was their fault that Eddie had gained that nickname. Eddie walked on stage and tried face the audience with confidence.

"Now it's time for the past teacher" Rudy felt like getting up and leaving at the sight of Jack and Kim. He recognized Jerry, he felt bad that he got mad Jerry. Why would they want a past teacher? They all got fired for a reason.

"The teacher is...Rudy Gillespie" Rudy stood up confused. Part of him was angry that he was the teacher picked and part of him was happy. Jack and Kim looked guilty the moment Rudy stepped on stage. Rudy couldn't understand why, no matter how hard he tried.

"Now the project is: For the six of you to go into some sort of business together. Make friends with the person you hate most in this group. Now we all have a secret past, figure out each others. This is a project that will take all year. You must present it at the end of the year." The project had just become Jack's worse nightmare.

Jack hated his past, he liked to focus on the future. He had to do it with everyone on the stage with him. He had hurt all the people on this stage, he felt terrible. Everyone had a sick feeling in their stomachs, especially Jack.

As the principal was talking they all ran off the stage. They all went home early. Jack didn't want to go back to school for the rest of the year. There couldn't have been worse people to work on the project with him. They all hated each other. This was going to be one interesting year...

A/N: Sorry this was a super short chapter! I just had to update! It's really late right now, so this chapter is probably terrible. In the morning I'll be very mad at myself for not waiting to update this. Oh, we'll! Also, I need help. How often should I update this story? Make it reasonable. I don't want to update everyday. At first I was going to do once a week, but now I have 10 chapters written and only two updated! If I had more stories I'd do it once a week, but I don't. So advice? Anyway, hat did you think of 'The Project'? See what I did there?...I know I'm terrible at jokes. Hope you enjoyed the chapter.

Post a review and tell me your thoughts!
