Jesi's Bieberfic
Chapter Three
RECAP: "You girls ready?," Chaz questioned, a hint of amusement in his voice.
He recieved two shy nods in return. The quad then made their way to the gigantic plank-like door and shoved it open.
"You kids stay out of trouble, now."
How exactly did Chaz and Justin get picked for Jesi and her sister's guides? The world may never never know. Or, atleast, Jesi wouldn't. Thats for sure.
After the four were out of adult hearing range, the two boys actually started creating a conversation.
"So, where are you ladies from?" Justin seemed to be unraveling. He was definitely the type of person to start being bubbly after the second or third time he's ran into you. Chaz, on the other hand, started around the first forty seconds.
"The Great Land of Lincoln," Jami answered in a shy tone. She wasn't used to being around the opposite sex without fifteen other close friends around to distract her.
Both guys seemed a little.. confuzzled after she said that. "Kentucky?" Chaz wasn't as bright in U.S. trivia as you'd take him for.
"Not, really, smart one," Jesi retorted. Offensiveness bleached the poor boy's face. "Illinois."
"Nice."
Jami and Jesi mumbled a quick sarcastic agreement, then halted when they came to a hallway with a sign that had ROOMS 120-150 in navy blue ink neatly typed across it. They stood there for a bit, until their 'guides' got the message.
"Oh, uh, this is what we call the 'free period hallway'. Most study hall classes are here," Justin explained. Jami stared at him, catching the little smile he gave her sister. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man.
The group made a left, and after a few seconds came to a stairway. Chaz hopped onto the second step, and Justin did the same. "Up this stairway," Chaz started,"Is where freshman and sophmore lives intertwine."
"Awesome wording, man."
Chaz nodded his head. "Yeah, I know. Anyhow, half of these hallways belong to tenth-graders."
"The other two-fourths, well, they are strictly amazing ninth-grade territory," Justin picked up the introduction, and added a couple head bobs for emphasis.
The tour continued up the stairwell. Navy blue, gray, and burnt orange lockers lined each wall, with a few breaks for a set of restrooms or water fountains. Originally blank spaces were full of framed character trait posters and class lists and reminders of practices and after school activities. Pretty much what any other educational hallway should look like.
Jami scanned the lockers' numbers. Her right hand side started with 465 and went up by odd numbers. Her left side began at 464 and went up the opposite way. It wasn't long until she found her locker, 483. "Guys, stop."
Her three companions did what she commanded. All of their minds puzzled. Jami took out her schedule, and starting putting in her combination. Five turns of the lock later, the fire toned door opened, making a clean and rust-free inside able to see. "Sweetness." She then started loading her unneeded supplies into it.
Jesi took out the little white slip of paper that contained her locker information on it also. "I think Im going to go do the same.."
"I'll go with you!" A hopeful Justin slapped on an encouraging smile. "It'll be easier if I help you."
"Sure. Uh, we'll be right back."
The two teens then turned their backs on Chaz and Jami, making their way to find Jesi's locker.
Justin cleared his throat. "So.. what's your number?"
"Excuse me?" An alarmed tone present in her voice.
"Your locker number? You know, the digits on the door of the secret compartment you store your 'school appropriate' items in?"
Clearly relieved, Jesi owned up,"502." She glanced to her side, closest one was 495. Almost there.
"I mean, if you REALLY want to give me your actual phone number, feel free." His smile let out a chime of chuckles.
"Aha, dream on."
"I will." The duo traded looks, and Justin exchanged Jesi a quick wink, which made her cheeks flush a light shade of pink.
After a few steps, they finally reached their destination. The female of the duo took the steps to open her navy blue locker and easily opened it. She placed extra notebooks and pencils in it neatly and checked it out a bit, then slammed it shut.
"Done already?" Justin jumped up from his spot on a nearby bench.
Jesi walked towards where he was standing, but kept her distance from the strange boy. "Yep, lets get back to the others," she said while beginning to partially tiptoe back to the other end of the hall.
A soft hand grabbed her shoulder, lightly pulling her back. "Don't! Look at them.." Justin's index finger pointed to his friend and Jesi's twin sister. They were sitting next to eachother with their backs against the metal doors. Chaz had a cheesy grin on his face, embarrassment and uneasiness must have been causing it. He was saying something and making Jami flutter with humor. "Aren't they cute?"
"Oh, definitely," Jesi mumbled. Sarcasm was strong in her voice.
The two stood watching until the 'lovebirds' noticed. Instinctively. they both stood up, laughing from humiliation. "Yeah, uh, about that..," Chaz said tongue-tied, then cleared his throat.
"Lets get on with the tour!," Jami exclaimed, scrambling towards her sister and grabbing her arm. The other two boys followed, whispering to each other while doing so.
* * * * *
Within the next twenty minutes, Chaz and Justin had showed the Catrell twins nearly every nook and cranny that needed to be known. They still had ten minutes left, so they were sitting on a bench outside of one of the freshman hallways..
"So, what are your schedules?," Justin asked before popping a piece of cinnamon flavored gum into his mouth.
Jesi and Jami took the worn-down, wrinkled pieces of paper out from their pockets and unfolded them.
Jesi smoothed hers out, then began reciting her classes. "First, I have Biology Cell with Steinhauer. Then, I have Algebra 1A with Mrs. Richardson-"
"Hey, I have second period with you!," Chaz interrupted.
Justin's expression lightened. "And I have BioCell and algebra with you."
The older twin smiled, then continued with her schedule. "Third hour, I've got Computer Basics with Connoly. Fourth, history with Laurel, and fifth hour I have P.E."
"I have everything else before lunch with you, too. Except for P.E. and history. I have them third and fifth period," Justin stated, disappointment at the edge of his voice.
"Three out of five classes isn't bad," Chaz humored. "I only have one with you, Jesi."
"Awesome. Um, after lunch I have Home Ec' with Gristlemeyer. Then, German with Mrs. Haug. And for ninth hour, study hall with Craig."
The brown-eyed out of the two boys let out a laughing-fit. "Dude, Im not even joking. We have all those classes together." He cleared his throat, getting rid of the giggles he had previously. "Sweet."
Jami glanced at her twin sister. She saw that she was beaming with excitement, a good sign she wasn't going to absolutely loathe this year. Which meant, Jami was going to have less headaches from her sister's complaints. Cool beans.
"What's yours, Jami?," a curious Chaz questioned.
Jami looked down at her schedule, and repeated what she saw. "Homeroom, I have Mr. Laurel. First period, algebra with Mr. Benson. Second, Computer Basics with Connoly, and third I have phys-ed with O'Neil." She quickly looked at each of her companions. "Anything with you guys?"
"Third-hour P.E.," Chaz answered. Justin shook his head.
Jami sighed, then began reading off again. "Im in Steinhauer's biology class for fourth period, Laurel's World History for fifth, and then lunch."
"Chaz and I have history with you," Justin said while fingering a rip just above his knee on his jeans. His friend nodded his head in agreement.
"Seventh, Home Ec with Carson-"
Justin's eyes went wide for a second. "God, good luck. She's the bitchiest teacher EVER."
"Great," Jami muttered. Hopes of a great year went crashing towards the ground. "Anyways, I have German with you and Jesi, Justin. And study hall with all of you."
"Coolness. Looking forward to it," Chaz grinned.
At that moment, that familiar school bell of Westlake High School rang, it showing that the end of first period of the Catrell twins' first day was over. Only eight more to go.
Chaz, Justin, Jesi, and Jami went on to their second-hour classes. For Jami, it was Computer Basics with Mrs. Connoly. For the other three, it was Biology Cell with Mrs. Richardson. A whole day was ahead of them. One that, during it, anything could happen.
"I'll see you guys later," Jami murmurred while departing for the computer lab.
"See ya."
"Bye."
"Later," Chaz called behind him. Jami waved back, only to recieve a wink from the boy.
