PLEASE REVIEW =]
I OWN NOTHING.
SO I AM REALLY HAPPY THAT EVERYONE IS SO EAGER FOR AN UPDATE. I HAVE A FEELING THAT SOMETHING BIG IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT CHAPTER. I WONDER IF ANYONE CAN GUESS WHAT'S NEXT! =]
We started school a week later.
I haven't spoken to anyone other than Cherry and Eddy.
First day back and I was already late.
I thought I was going to drive the Cutlass since I haven't seen my dad lately but the damn thing broke down on me on the way to school. I pulled out my cell phone and called Bobby
"Hey Tara"
"Hey Bobby, my dad's Cutlass broke down on me you think I could get a tow?"
"Yea sure, you need a ride too? Don't you start back school today?"
"Yea that would be great" I gave him my address then waited 20 minutes.
Bobby finally showed up but with Jax.
"Tara, I'll take your car back and Jax will give you a lift to school" Bobby said
"Isn't there anyone else"
"Nope, your stuck with me darling" Jax smiled
I tossed the keys to Bobby and got on Jax's bike "Oh joy" I said sarcastically
We got at school and no doubt Jax had to make a scene. Eddy walked over to us.
"Hey Tara, I thought you were taking your dad's car?
"Hey, it kind of broke down"
"You should of called me" Eddy said
"Well she didn't, she called me" Jax smiled
"Actually I called Bobby" I turned to Eddy "lets get to class"
We walked into school. My first period was Art, easy. My other classes were Math, Chemistry, English, Gym, History and Geography (in that order).
It took me forever to find Chemistry. I walked in the class and saw everyone at their lab station. I snuck into the back so the teacher wouldn't see me. He was going through all the lab rules. The door opened.
"Jackson Teller as I live and breath" the teacher said
This was like deja vú all over again.
"What's up Mr. Gavin!" Jax said
"Take a seat"
Jax saw me and knew exactly where to sit. He sat next to me.
"Okay now that the entire class is here please take a look at the person next to you, introduce yourself because this is your permanent lab partner. Well at least for the rest of the year, no exceptions"
Jax smiled
"I hate you, you know that" I said to Jax
"Oh and Ms Knowles, if you plan on sneaking into my class late, the least you could do is pay attention" Mr. Gavin said to me
I stayed quiet for the rest of the class, trying to block out Jax's presence. The bell ran and I had to speak with the teacher.
I got up and headed for his desk.
"Excuse me, Mr. Gavin can I have a word? Now I understand you said that the person next to you is going to be our partner for the rest of the school year, no exceptions, but I was just wondering if you could make an exception" I desperately needed a new partner.
"Ms Knowles"
"Tara" I stopped him
"Okay, Tara. I refuse to give any one of my students special treatment. Hopefully this teaches you a lesson on tardiness"
"Come on Phil, can't you cut my girl some slack" Jax said walking up to me.
Is Jax trying to help me? Did he just call our teacher by his first name?
"Jax, I don't see the big deal. It's just lab partners" Mr. Gavin said
I couldn't believe that Jax was on a first name base with Mr. Gavin
"Okay, don't worry about it" Jax smiled and said
Just when I thought Jax could be helpful.
"Fine" I said
I walked outside of the classroom, Jax followed me.
"Do you plot on how you can ruin my life or is this just your new hobby?" I asked angrily
"More of an hobby" he said
"Uh!"
"I'm kidding! Look we're lab partners now, why don't we try to make the best out of this. We have our first assignment together." he said handing me a paper
I took a look at the homework sheet.
"Uh!"
"How about tonight, my place?" he asked
"No, we'll never get any work done. My dad hasn't been home lately, just come over"
He grinned.
"Come over for the assignment, that's all!" I said walking away
