First day of School
I got dressed in a white button-up, red blazer, loose tie, grey skirt and fish-net leggings. I threw my books into my bag and pulled on my combat boots and walked out taking a seat across from Jerome. I poured some juice into my glass and grabbed and apple. I sat back and watched the rest of the students converse, taking a bite of my apple.
"I like your hair," Fabian gestured to my hair.
"Thanks," I replied, holding up a dark curl with a flaming tip.
"So are you on a scholarship, like Nina?"
"Yeah, but mine is a sports scholarship." "Your an athlete?" Jerome sounded shocked.
"Got a problem with that 'Hot Shot'?" I asked leaning forward.
"No, I just didn't think we needed another meat-head," he smirked so sure that he had won.
"I didn't think that straight A students were considered 'meat-heads'," I grinned knowing that I had won.
He opened his mouth and closed it, causing me to grin and drink the rest of my juice. Standing and walking out, I headed to class when Jerome showed up behind me.
"Careful 'Hot Shot' sneaking up on a black belt is a bad idea."
"You couldn't hurt a fly 'meat-head'."
I stopped and turned to Jerome grabbing his hand and flipping him onto his back.
"Tried to warn you," I said and continued walking.
I heard a groan, then him scrambling to his feet.

After school I finished my homework and started to sketch, when Jerome walked in.
"Ya' don't give up do you?" I asked rhetorically not even looking up.
"Only when the prize is good enough."
"Not interested," I muttered, my eyes still on the paper, "Plus, your not my type," I said looking up at him.
"What is your type?"
"A gentlemen, with more that meets the eye."
"I'm more then meets the eye."
"Doubtful."
"I'll prove it."
"Even it that's true, your still missing half the equation."
"Give me one day, one day to prove I can be a perfect gentlemen."
"Hmmmm," I thought, for a minute, "Fine."
"Yes!" he yelled standing with a fist in the air.
I stifled a laugh and watched him walk out, yelling after him, "It starts tomorrow at 8 am!"
I changed into my pajamas and pulled the covers of my bed up to my neck; looking at my necklace. I watched as the blue moon in my necklace capture the moonlight, cascading in my window. Drifting to sleep I smiled at Jerome's determination.
