Heavy is the Head

Jasmine - 1

Chapter 19

Jasmine glared out of the window in the hallway at the wintry confetti that was currently ruining her plans. No matter how many things there were to do at Northuldra Academy, Jasmine was the type of person who couldn't stand being trapped inside. It had been the cause of many arguments between her and her father who was extremely protective and didn't really understand the urges Jasmine got at random times of the day to walk around outside just for the sake of it. Before, she would go on walks all the time to clear her mind from all of the stresses and problems in life and she was finding it difficult to adjust.

Ariel was kept extremely busy with her swimming training, tutoring Luca, spending time with Eric, trying to convince her father to let her stay at Northuldra Academy, maintaining her thousands of friendships as well as having to keep on top of her schoolwork. Even though she was only across the hallway, Jasmine was seeing her less and less. Jasmine tried not to let it bother her too much though and she was planning on taking self defence classes with her and Andy in the mornings so they could hang out a bit more.

Aurora's obsession with trying to figure out what Mavis' letter meant was a bit tiresome at times so Jasmine wasn't really seeing her as much either but they still texted each other a lot. Aurora was also trying to figure out if she was really over Raven and ready to start a relationship with Philip and to be completely honest, Jasmine was sick of hearing about that too.

As for Snow White, she was perfectly happy with being stuck inside. Aurora had persuaded Naveen to teach Snow White how to play guitar which she was a natural at so she kept busy with that a lot these days. Since Snow White and Jasmine were so used to sharing a room, they still spent a lot of time in each other's dorm rooms but Jasmine was trying to give Snow White a bit more space since she was still struggling to deal with everything that happened over the half-term and needed some space.

Still, with the way things were going, it felt like bit by bit the Seasons Squad was being torn apart.

Friday marked the end of November.

It was also a day that Jasmine tutored Vanellope von Schweetz so at 4.45pm, she got changed out of her uniform and headed for the silent study rooms. She was 15 minutes early but Vanellope was already in their allocated room with her head on the table and the hood of her favourite mint green hoodie up.

"Hey, Vanellope."

"Ugh."

"It's great to see you too." Jasmine replied, taking a clear folder out of her handbag. "I brought a few worksheets on surds for you to do."

"Oh joy. I really don't see the point of this. I'm going to be a Formula 1 driver not a mathematician." Vanellope sat up and unzipped her pencil case, taking out a pencil and a pack of strawberry laces.

Jasmine held out her hand, "Share."

Vanellope begrudgingly handed a few over and started the worksheet while Jasmine got out her laptop to start her 5000 word assignment on women empowerment.

"Jasmine?"

"Do the worksheet."

Vanellope put down her glittery pink pen. "Did you ever have any problems with the other girls here when you first came?"

Jasmine lowered her laptop screen and frowned. "Why?"

"I was just wondering."

"Yeah right. Who's been bothering you? Because I swear..."
