Bad Intentions

Jasper was sad I had to go home at the end of the weekend. I was a tad emotional also. I kinda liked hanging out with Jasper and Noel. They were cool. Even when they were attempting to embarrass me.

"Oh c'mon Jaz don't cry. I'll be back in five days with my friend." I promised Monday morning. I knew I would miss two periods and probably get detention for not being in uniform but I didn't care.

"Call me later? Okay?" He asked sticking out his pinky. I squat down and smiled kissing Jasper's forehead. I hooked my pinky with his and nodes my head.

"I'll call you tonight." I promised hugging the little boy tightly. I stood up and walked to Noel's car. Jasper couldn't come drop me off because he had school himself. Charlotte sent him to a private school where they learned shit they shouldn't have to in kindergarten.

"I've never driven you to school before." Noel muttered as he stopped at my house. He said I should probably change into my uniform first.

"It's honestly not much. Sometimes I walk." I shrugged.

"Three cars and you still walk to school? How modest of you." Noel smirks.

"It's two cars and in all honesty I like the exercise." I lied.

"Since when do you like any form of exercise?" He teased.

"Since, I spend all my time running away from Asher." I joked flipping my hair back.

"Asher, Asher, Asher. Do you think about anything else?" He asked smiling.

"Yes, I think about Jasper. And Quinn." I sighed looking at the top of the car.

"I'm sorry about Quinn. I have a few friends who work for the police department. I can make see if they can look out for her." Noel offered.

"No, I think it's easier now. I love her but I can't parent my family. Staying with you guys was amazing. I didn't have to worry about anything." I said honestly.

"You had to grow up much faster than most kids. That's why it's confusing. You're still a kid." Noel shrugged.

"I was talking to Jasper and he said Charlotte is broken. That she can't love anyone but herself."

"Charlotte loves Charlotte. So everyone should love Charlotte." He said vaguely. We pulled up to my school and we sat there a minute. I was about to get out when I turned around and wrapped my arms around Noel. He wrapped his arms around me. I just wanted to cry. I just wanted to cry and shout and scream. But I just hugged him. I hugged my dad.

"Um, ha, uh- thank you. For the ride and whatever." I stuttered jostling my hair before checking my face and makeup.

"No problem. Anytime, honestly." He said genuinely.

"So, I'll see you Friday and I'll call Jaz tonight before his bed time." I said standing up and walking into the building. I walked to the front office first in the student services campuses. I walked up to the attendance desk on the far left and gave her my information. She smiled and handed me a pass. I walked to the main campus and quickly jogged to third period. I walked in and handed the paper to my teacher.

"Well, Ms. Andrews, I'm happy you decided to join us." She called me out.

"Yeah, I debated whether or not my grade in this fake class really mattered or not." I shrugged sitting in my seat. Andy looked over at me but I ignored him. Unnecessary stress I urged myself to believe.

"Keep that mouth running and you'll be seeing a one way trip to detention." Ms. Campbell threatened.

"Keep yours running and you'll be on a one way trip to Singlesville, USA." I retort not really concerned with the consequences.
