Okay heads up on how to pronounce the principle's name: Ms. Steinbaeker, Steen and baucker (like bach with an -er at the end)
It was brutal, Jamie got called out as the culprit. But it wasn't Jamie it was Jack Frost, and Jack felt terrible. Not only did he technically frame Jamie for the food fight, but he definitely lost his chances in making the boy remember him. Thankfully, Jamie did not get suspended, but he did get lots of detentions.
During the assembly, Ms. Steinbaeker gave her typical speech about discipline and self control. She then told the student body that if the culprit was not found then the whole student body would be blamed. Nobody knew exactly who it was who started the fight, and Jamie knew it wasn't him.
Apparently, there are such things as security cameras, and there just happens to be one in the cafeteria. Thank the Man in the Moon that the camera was too far away too see a fork flying around in the air behind Jamie's head. But, the camera did catch a flying piece a food from Jamie to hit a teen across the cafeteria. So, Jamie got a Month's worth of detention, one every Saturday from nine in the morning until twelve o'clock.
Jack was now back at North's place, recalling the story of what Jack did.
"Jack," North said, "you need to realize what you do," he said putting his large arms on his waist, "when you meddle, eh, bad thing happen." North said gesturing his tattooed arm at Jack Frost.
"Oh yeah, thanks North," Jack said sarcastically, "I'm Jack Frost, anytime I interfere with anything something's going to happen."
"Jack, I meant Guardians all together," North replied to Jack, "When Guardian interfere too much with mortals, then something happen. It usually end badly" North concluded stroking his beard.
Jack sighed, "Alright," he finally agreed, "I wont 'meddle' anymore, but I'm still going to watch over Jamie" he concluded.
"That is natural," North agreed, "You can watch over boy, but Jack," North sternly pointed a large finger at him, "don't meddle, no matter how tempted, it will not end well."
That was the last warning that Jack received from North on the subject.
For the rest of the day, Jack watched the Yetis already building more toys for next Christmas.
Jack was up at the very top of the atrium, sitting on the ornate handrails, that circled every hallway circling the believing globe. Jack was hidden from view since he was leaning against a column, the only way to know that Jack was actually up there was his foot dangling off of the other side of the railing. Jack was watching his frost fill in the ornate designs on the bannister, when he got the sudden idea to cause some trouble.
He let the frost creep down below to the Yetis working, watching them slip while carrying toy robots. Jack chuckled to himself as he watched the irritated yetis fall over his frost. It was a light chuckle for him, as he often watched his little jokes turn into something bigger. Like when he tried to get Jamie to believe in him the first time, it started with a snowball fight with friends and it escalated into a freak sledding accident that knocked out Jamie's front tooth. But then his plan back fired as it then reminded Jamie of the tooth fairy, not of the guy who created all the fun.
Fun. That's Jack's center, it's what he protects in kids. He makes sure that they are having fun. But, now that Jamie is older he doesn't have fun like he used to. He doesn't play with toys or talk to stuffed animals.
No, Jack gave up on meddling. No more meddling, it will only make things worse. But, that won't stop him from watching over Jamie right?
a/n: I decided not to merge this chapter with the next one. Mostly because the next one is really important, and it sounds waaaayyyyy better by itself. Sorry these chapters may be my shortest ones in this story :P
