"So I was thinking that-"
"Didn't I tell you not to do that?" Jade cut across Reese two days later in the school library.
"Ssh!" The librarian whispered loudly, shooting the pair a look, Jade matched the librarian's look with one of her own and ignored her. It was Thursday lunch time and Reese had finally managed to get Jade away from the rest of her friends...no friends was too strong of a word...they were more like acquaintances. Now they had to talk about this stupid short play they had to perform to Sikowitz next week under the theme of "Unusual". Which Jade knew she could be totally do, Jade smirked remembering the last short play she had directed, written and starred in. Reese shot Jade a look then looked over at the librarian, lowering his voice now slightly,
"Now I was thinking that maybe we could do like a haunted car park or something" Reese said with a small raise of his eyebrows. Jade frowned to herself, thinking,
"Actually that's not a bad idea New Guy" Jade finally said slowly, as if it were painful for her to admit. Jade straightened her body posture so now she was facing Reese fully where they sat at the back of the library with the children's horror books- like R.L Stine, on the floor together, cross legged. "And we could make it that after a certain time people start hearing this dead girl's voice echoing" Jade said, envisioning it now. She grinned to herself, she was onto something here, and she could feel it.
"Yes exactly!" Reese exclaimed with a grin of his own.
"Ssh!" The librarians annoying voice came out again. Jade cast a look over her shoulder at the librarian who was looking very annoyed, not nearly as annoyed as Jade was about to get with her though. Jade tried focussing her attention back onto Reese now,
"And she can say creepy stuff like 'shouldn't you be going home by now Johnny?'" Reese said in a slow creepy voice. Jade laughed slightly despite herself and nodded, running her fingers through her hair still thinking of more idea's now,
"And 'your wife is expecting you home any minute now Gabe'" Jade joined in. Reese laughed as well now and nodded his head in agreement, clapping his hands together once,
"You're a genius Miss. Jade" Reese said moving his hands in a small bowing action. Jade pretended to tip a hat in thanks,
"Yeah, I know" she said.
"Ssh!" The librarian said, more loudly than any other noise in the library now, Jade grinded her teeth together and jumped up to her feet, starting to walk towards the librarian now, she opened her mouth to finally give this bitch what she deserved when she felt a hand clamp around her shoulder, restraining her slightly,
"Hey, relax alright- she's a librarian working in a high school. I'd be old and bitter as well" Reese whispered in her ear. Jade tried to resist the urge to smile or find anything he said funny but she couldn't help herself and she slowly turned around to face Reese who still had his hand planted on Jade's shoulder.
"Hey, what's up?" Beck greeted them, throwing his apple in the air and catching it again with one hand as he walked closer to Jade and Reese. Jade rolled her eyes and stuck her finger out to point at the librarian,
"A cockroach wouldn't leave me alone" She replied back flatly. Beck grinned and inspected his apple before taking a bite of it now, he chewed and looked over at Jade, then at Reese, then down at the ground where their books where and they had just been sitting and finally and very slowly at Reese's hand on Jade' shoulder. He didn't raise an eyebrow, didn't give Jade or Reese a look but just half shrugged and took another huge bite of his apple. Really? Jade couldn't help but think. Glumly she shrugged Reese's hand off her shoulder which fell limply down to his side as he bent down to pick up some of their books now. He handed Jade's hers with a secretive smile, as if they had a shared secret between them. Jade forced herself not to scowl at him before muttering a small thanks and pressing them against her chest, walking hurriedly out the library now. Beck jogged slightly to keep up and opened his mouth to say something but stopped when Jade gave him a look before pushing open the exit door and starting to walk out, Beck stopping and looking after Jade confusedly, Jade looked over her shoulder, almost as if talking to herself now,
"Just don't."
