Chapter 2: Jack is Tired

Kim's POV

The next morning I was suppose to be walking to school with Jack, but when I knocked on his door his mom said he was still asleep. That's not like Jack. He normally loves walking me to school. Manly because I love him and he loves me, but neither of us would ever admit that.

Anyway, Jack came in durian the middle of 1st period. After getting yelled at by our English teacher he went to a desk in the back of the classroom and collapsed into it. He looked like he immediately fell asleep. The teacher, Mr. Davidson, asked me to do something about it. I walked over and started lightly slapping his head.

"JACK! Get up!"

"Ah don't touch my hair" he said sleepily as he lighted swatted my hands away. I shrugged at Mr. Davidson,

"Don't worry Mr. Davidson" I said, "I'll talk to him after class, then send him to come talk to you"

"Thank you, Kim. Please sit down"

I went and sat down. I was probably as curious as anybody to figure out why Jack was so tired. When the bell rang he jumped out of his seat. Once he realized it was just the bell, he slumped out of the room. I smiled at Mr. Davidson then ran after Jack.

"Jack! Jack!" I yelled ctaching up with him

"What Kim?" He said, immediately shutting his locker and trying to quickly shove something into his backpack. I just assumed it was textbooks, so I shoved it off.

"Why are you so tired?"

"No sleep"

"Really? I thought you got a straight 12 hours, considering how, perked up, you are" I said sarcastically. He gave me the "really?" look.

"Well he didn't get any sleep last night" I heard a mechanical voice say.

"What was that?" I asked

"Oh nothing" Jack said innocently. Then he slapped his chest and yelled,"shut up!" Then he slammed his locker and ran off. What was wrong with him?!

Jacks POV

I couldn't be more tired. I didn't get back to Seaford until 6 a.m. and I didn't get home until 7 a.m. I'm surprised my parents didnt say anything. I was so tired I completely ignored the fact that I was suppose to walk Kim to school this morning AND the fact that I was going to tell her how I feel, considering the government could move me anywhere in the country, anywhere in the WORLD whenever they wanted.

My mom was shaking me awake. I looked at my clock. It said 8 a.m. I jumped out of bed and over to my closet. I put on a pair of jeans and the first shirt I could grab. I was shoving a piece of toast in my mouth as I ran outside. I started speeding walking down the street. After I finished shoving toast in my mouth I started chewing a piece of gum then took off.

When I made it to school the hallways were empty. I quickly checked my schedule and saw I had English first. Great. The ONE time I'm late, and EXHUASTED I have to go to class with the strictest teacher. I quickly threw some books into my bag, unaware what class they were for. Then I ran to the English room.

When I got there Mr. Davidson started yelling at me. I was too tired to even listen. I went to the back of the room, collapsed and immediately fell asleep. The rarest of the class was a daze. I think Kim tried to wake me up. Then the bell rang and I jumped up. I ran out the door. When I made it to my locker, I opened it. Inside there was a black box. Agent Brewer was written in white letters across it. I quickly tried to slip it into my backpack. Then I heard Kim coming. I quickly shut my locker and started shoving the box deeper into my backpack. I finally got it in while Kim was asking me while I was tired. I zipped my backpack when Herbert said, "Well he didn't get any sleep yet"

I slapped my chest, which is where the inside pocket, where I put Herbert. I told him to shut up then I ran off.

I ran through the school until I found a janitors closet. I slipped inside then locked the door. I took Herbert out of my pocket

"Herbert! What are you doing?! You're going to blow my cover and then I'll have to leave forever!"

"But then you'll get to leave the blonde that never shuts up"

"Kim is my best friend!"

"Maybe"

"I can turn you off"

"Ok. I'll shut up"

"Good Hebert. Now lets see what's in this box"

I went to open the box.
