Jack's P.O.V
I woke up to hearing my mom banging on my door. My head felt like a small animal was trying to get out of my skull. I remember talking to my mom about something then going to bed. It was something about Kim. Kim. KIM! Oh no.
"Rise and shine Mr. Man," My mom said to me while walking through the door.
"What?" I asked. Still confused from the previous night.
"Well my little boy is grounded because he became a man," she explained.
Yeah. I remember that part. Mom was talking to me like she had two different personalities. I had no idea what was going on.
"Mom?"
"Yes?"
"Can you explain to me what your little episode was last night?"
She breathed in a wallow breath, and then let it out slowly. Her eyes looked around the room like she was looking for something to say.
"Your dad isn't around anymore. You need a father figure in your life-"
"I have Rudy." I cut her off.
"Yes. But I thought you could get a man's perspective on the situation."
"You know, I'm good with just you?"
"I see that now. But you are still grounded."
"Ok," I said glumly.
Mom walked out the door muttering under her breath. She was talking about "Only 14" and "Too young" and "Big Mistake" and "Will regret". Each one of those phrases scared me.
I looked at the clock and realized it was almost time for school. I forgot today was Monday. The beginning of a week where everyone is in a shitty mood and the teachers are in more of a shitty mood.
"Great." I mumbled under my breath.
School was a drag. And that is after first period. Second period was a bit better, but that's because it was P.E and Jerry was with me. Third period was History and Eddie was in that class with me. Then came my least favorite, Math. The only good part about Math was that Milton sat next to me. I could cheat, peak, roam, and stare all I wanted onto his precious life saver of work. I did absolutely nothing during lunch expect eat. I didn't even eat, I just stared at my puny tray full of disappointment and dozed off. Kim woke me up and told me that it was time to go to Home-ec. Kim was my Home-ec partner, and we had a blast. Pancakes and brownies and little baby dolls, Kim handled everything and would always say that I'm making her do all the work. I respond by saying that I'm not forcing her to do the work by herself and I'm not slacking off, I'm simply observing her progress.
Home-ec went by fast. Then came last period. Science. Science had its ups and downs, as long as the work was easy, I was fine.
The teacher came in announcing that we would be having new lab partners. "The list will be on the back bulletin board and your partners' name will be parallel from yours," He said in his smart voice.
I was the first to get up and see who my partner was. I was hoping to get someone smart so I could observe my partner's progress from behind.
I looked at the list. Jack Anderson…Donna Tobin. My mouth dropped to the floor. Donna? How am I supposed to work with that dumb slut?
"I was hoping you would get a good reaction," I heard a squeaky voice from behind me.
I dramatically and slowly turned to see Donna standing there.
"Oh. I got a reaction all right," I replied to her comment.
"I hope there good. And I also hope we do good together on the project."
Donna and her grammar issues.
"Well," I corrected her.
"Well what?" She asked.
How can she not be a blonde? No offense to Kim and other blondes out there. But really. She was as dumb as a sack of rotten potatoes and she was a brunette. Really?
"The correct way to say the sentence is I hope we do well together."
"I hope we do well together, too!"
I give up.
"What should our project be?" I asked.
"I don't know," Donna said as she looked like all the answers of the world would come from me.
"Let's meet at the library in 20 and talk," I suggested.
"Oh. Ok. Wait, what will we be talking about?"
I stared at her in disbelief.
"We will talk about a science project. Go to the library in 20 minutes after the bell rings," I said slowly.
"OK." She nodded her head. "Where's the library?"
This was going to be a long week.
"It's in the front of the school. Right next to the principal's office."
"Oh. I go there all the time!"
"That's good. I didn't even know you could read!" I said sarcastically.
"Read what?"
"Books."
"What books?"
I rubbed the crook of my nose.
"In the library. You just said you go there all the time," I reminded her.
"No. I was talking about the principal's office. Duh."
I should have known. She goes there all the time to make out with the principal. That's probably the only reason why she is in the 9th grade.
"Ok," I said now rubbing my temples. "Just go to the library 20 minutes after the bell rings. Can you do that?"
"Uh-huh." She shook her head up and down.
"Good."
The bell rang, and I wanted to get away from Donna as quick as possible. I grabbed my bag and sprinted to my locker.
"Hey, cutie," I heard Kim say from behind me.
I turned around and gave her a quick peck on the lips. "Hey there."
"So I have to tell you something super important."
"What?" I asked cautiously.
"I'm pregnant!"
My eyes shot opened and I swear I could feel my jaw touch the ground.
"What?" I yelled. That scream earned me a few stares. "We only did it once right? Or am I missing something? And isn't it too early to know if you're pregnant?
"I'm just kidding. God! Happy April Fool's!"
"It's April Fool's Day?" I asked.
She nodded her head. Where have I been? Maybe being partnered with Donna was a joke from the teacher. Ha Ha. Very funny.
"It's sad though," she added.
"Why?"
"The teacher's aren't allowed to pull pranks on kids and vice versa."
Of course. I'm stuck with Donna, how awesome.
"Anyways," Kim said. "My news is that I found Aram!"
"Aram? As in my dad Aram?"
She smiled from cheek to cheek and bobbed her head.
I told everyone that my dad in the army and went MIA a few years ago. Then he came back but he lives on his own so he doesn't hurt anyone with his PTSD. Truth is that he is just a druggie and my mom kicked him out. I looked up to him but he didn't even notice me. Just the drugs. Kim snapped me out of my memories.
"…Isn't that great?!"
"Yeah. It is," I said as excited as I could.
"You don't seem very happy," Kim pointed out.
"I am, it's just that I'm super surprised." I lied.
"Well, good."
I tried changing the subject as quick as possible.
"I have to go meet Donna in the library for a science project," I said.
"Ok. I'll come over to your house later?"
"Sorry. I' m grounded."
I shut my locker and kissed her forehead.
"I'll see you later," I added and walked away from Kim.
The library was empty as usual. The books were organized by genre: Mystery, Romance, Adventure, Sci-Fi, etc., etc. I saw Donna standing by the storage closet. I walked over to her and asked her why she was standing there, and sat by backpack on the table next to us. She opened the door and pulled me in by the belt.
Next thing I know I was making out with Donna. Her lips were so inviting, just like I remembered them. Her hands wrapped through my hair and mine pressed on her hips. I slammed her against the wall and started kissing her neck. Just like I did with Kim. KIM! Oh shit. I jumped about five feet away from Donna.
"Just like old times, huh?" Donna said.
"This never happened," I turned towards the door but Donna pulled me back.
"It never happened if we make a deal."
"What is the deal?"
"You have to tell Kim that you aren't dating."
"But we are."
"What? Do you think I'm blind?"
"What if I don't tell Kim that we aren't dating."
"Then I'll tell everyone that we had sex."
"But we didn't."
"I know that. But it's part of the deal."
"I don't know."
"Fine. I'll make it easier for you. I will also tell everybody that Kim is pregnant."
"That's two against one. That's not fair!"
"Life is not fair Jack."
I shook my head.
"I can't."
"Ok. I'll make it easier for you. You don't tell Kim that you two aren't dating, then I tell everyone about your daddy. And by everyone, I also mean Kim."
I shook my head. I couldn't believe she would stoop this low.
"You promised you wouldn't tell anyone."
"Things change."
"Why did I trust you? I can't believe we even dated."
"Aww. Poor Jack," She pouted her lip. "Now, what do you say?"
This whole thing was insane. There was only one thing I could say at this bitch.
"How are you so smart?"
"That is for me to worry about. Not you. I'm giving you one more chance Jack." She stuck out her hand.
I exhaled deeply. "Deal." I shook her hand while a wicked smirk grew on her face.
