It was a Tuesday morning, and Jack waited on the roof of Jamie Bennett's house to see Jamie to leave for school. Jack had fully convinced himself that he needed to follow Jaimie, his first believer, around school. He felt that as a guardian he had to protect him. But there was one problem, Jamie didn't believe in him anymore.
It was quite obvious that Jack's reasoning for following Jamie around was so that Jack could try to get Jamie to believe in him once again. But Jack had fully convinced himself that his reasoning was so that he could protect Jamie from bullies.
The truth of the matter, was that Jack just couldn't seem to let go. Jack knew this too, he knew it deep down, but he just wanted Jamie to believe in him again with all of his heart. He wouldn't just give up on Jamie.
Jack perked up when he heard the slam of the front door and watched as Jamie and his little sister Sophie walk their way to school. Sophie was now in sixth grade, she grew a little, but her blonde hair was no longer as choppy as it was before. Sophie owned the look, and she actually made it look really cool to fit her personality.
Jack wondered if Sophie still believed in him, but as he swooped down to land on the sidewalk in front of them, he soon found out that she didn't. He already knew that she stopped believing in him a while ago, he found out when Jamie still believed in him. For a while, it made Jamie look like the crazy older brother, in Sophie's eyes, because he wouldn't stop pestering her about Jack Frost.
Jack followed behind the brother and sister down the sidewalk. Trying to listen in on their conversation, only to find that they weren't speaking at all. They were walking in silence, Sophie was texting on a cell phone, a device that Jack Frost didn't find any fun at all, and Jamie was just... walking.
At one point, Sophie said bye to her brother as she turned down the street to go to her middle school. Jack stayed with Jamie, and followed as the boy walked himself to school. When Jamie got to the school gate, Jack was happy to find that those ape-like teens from yesterday weren't there today.
He followed Jamie as he walked into the building of Burgess High School. The building was tall, it seemed to be about three stories tall. It also looked very old, as it had ornate molding around the front of the school, and it was built out of brick and not the all purpose concrete that most schools were now made out of.
Jack past the front doors of the school, his bare feet feeling the white and black speckled linoleum flooring. The room that Jack walked into seemed to be some sort of hall, it didn't have the nice cozy feeling of a hall in a nice home. It was crowded, not as crowded as North's workshop, but none-the-less crowded.
Teens of all sorts were bustling in the hall making the spaces tight. It somehow reminded Jack of an avalanche of pubescent kids. Jack had to lift into the air to avoid the queasy feeling of being walked through. On the other side of the hall there was a door with glass that had the title "Office" on it, and all along the walls there seemed to be these strange boxes that had handles and locks on them. Jack watched as Jamie took out a piece of paper from his jacket that had a bunch of numbers on it.
It confused Jack and he asked, "what are those numbers?" mostly to himself. He glided down the hall to Jamie as he began to open one of the boxes on the wall. When Jamie opened it Jack peered inside to see large books with strange titles on them, one said "Algebra 1" and another had the title: "Biology" on it. Jack didn't know what those meant, but he knew it had to do with Jamie's homework, and Jack made an icky face at the books. When Jamie stilled believed in Jack, Jack often times had to wait until Jamie was done with his homework to be able to play with him.
Jamie then proceeded to open his backpack and took out some other stranger looking books that looked triangular, and replaced them with other books. Jack wondered what would happen if he touched his staff against the box, and when he did swirls of frost grew on the inside of the strange door that opened the box. But Jamie closed the strange door before he saw the frost. Jack watched in disappointment as Jamie walked away, Jack had no intention of going into a "class" with Jamie and end up being stuck in there without any other form of amusement. So he decided that he should wait and maybe take a look around the school.
As Jack turned to look around the school he noticed that the hall was near empty, a strange bell went off right above Jack, and out of surprise he froze it to stop the sound. "Oops," Jack whispered to himself as he noticed teens walking by with strange looks on their faces. Thankfully, the remaining teens in the hall didn't seem to think too hard on it as they began to run into their classes. Before Jack knew it, the hall was empty, and he was all alone, left to wander around the school.
Jack walked up a flight of stairs in the small town High School named Burgess. He learned a lot of things about school, for example the boxes that the students used to put stuff in were actually called 'lockers'.
He learned that there were also picture days, and emergency drills for fires and earthquakes, those really amused Jack because he forgot about such natural disasters. Being immortal really does change your perspective on the Earth.
He also learned that all of the doors in the halls were classrooms, and that each class taught a different subject. He also figured out that every time the loud bell went off, one class ended and another class started.
Jack never went to school before, well if he did go to anything close to school he doesn't remember. He had lost the memory of how he died when he turned into a guardian, but he only got some of his memory of that life back. But he was sated over what he did know, and he never found any reason to dig any deeper into his past life.
Jack stopped in the hall to look into some sort of glass case in the wall, and in the case there were trophies inside. He was examining the dates on the few trophies the school won, when he heard footsteps coming down the hall.
He was already used to people walking by him with out seeing him, so he didn't pay any mind to who ever it was. But suddenly he heard the footsteps stop and then turn into a full run. He looked over at the direction of the footsteps to see the back of dark blonde hair, and then it was gone. Jack didn't feel the least bit curious about the strange appearance or lack there of, he was already used to seeing teens run around the halls.
Suddenly, the bell rang and the halls were flooded once again with kids that where rushing out of class. After a while Jack noticed that the teens weren't rushing over to their next class, but some where actually lingering. Girls would meet up at each others lockers and chat, and groups of friends would walk down the halls. Jack noticed that a lot of them were heading down in the same direction, he followed them into a large boisterous room.
The room was filled with benches and tables, and the strange smell of meat sauce wafted through out the room. Teens would sit around the tables and eat strange foods on strange platters. Jack looked around the room, until he saw Jamie. He was sitting at a table near the back of the cafeteria. He was surrounded by his friends that Jack realized were the same ones from years before when they fought off Pitch.
Jack walked up to the table and sat down, hoping that maybe one of the would see him, "hey guys," he smiled but they just kept going on with their conversations. Jack feeling disappointed at being completely ignored rested his head in his hand. He sighed, "So I guess you guys all forgot about me huh?" he then fidgeted with a plastic fork when a great idea occurred to him.
He grabbed the fork and sneaked behind Jamie, he then scooped up some of the red sauce looking stuff, blew his magic Frost on it, pulled back the fork, and flung the food. He watched as it hit somebody in the middle of the face, it was from the table where the ape looking teens were. First the large teen looked angry but then the Frost on the food covered his eyes and he laughed.
Before Jack knew it, the Cafeteria had erupted into a war, a large red flinging food battle. Jack rose into the air and laughed at the fun he had caused. All of the teens laughing and most of the girls screaming at the food in their hair.
"Oh, I am too good!" Jack cheered himself watching with glee at the chaos he caused. During the food fight, a bell rang and suddenly these little sprinklers from the ceiling started to pour everybody with water. Screams cried out and other teens laughed at the welcomed water to clean off their faces.
"ENOUGH!"
The whole room was silent, Jack looked over at the front of the room, where the large double doors were, to find a stern looking woman. She had spectacles perched on her nose, and she had her hair up in a lose bun. She was older, but not too old, she looked around fifty, possibly younger. Jack saw behind her a group of adults strolled in three carts filled with towels.
The stern looking woman cried out, "Everyone, to the Auditorium!" she pointed out into the hallway. Jack didn't know what an auditorium was, so he sank down and landed next to Jamie.
One of Jamie's friends, the one with blonde hair and glasses, whispered to Jamie, "Oh man, you are so in trouble,"
Jamie looked confused at his friend and said, "What do you mean?"
"Wasn't it you that threw the first meatball?" his friend said looking over at him with honesty.
Oops, Jack forgot that he made it look like it was Jamie who threw the food first.
Another one of Jamie's friends, the one with a large straight Afro looking hair style, "Man if it was you, Ms. Steinbaeker is going to kill you," with a look of true concern for his friend.
Jamie just shrugged at them, "Well it wasn't me," when he got to the front he grabbed a towel and went towards the Auditorium. Jack decided not to miss this 'auditorium' event, and followed Jamie close behind.
