Nala's pov: 

I was walking on my own, pretty quickly, and we made our way to class. When we got there, the teacher was looking at me weird, and I felt uncomfortable. I subconsciously leaned closer to Jackson, and he looked at me confused. 

"What's wrong?" He asked me. 

"Nothing. I just, have a weird feeling." I reply. He looks at me skeptically, and we take our seats. Today, he sat in the back with me, instead of with Josh. Speaking of Josh, when he walked in, he looked so shaken up, I could barely contain my laughter. However, that weird feeling came back to me, and I looked back at the teacher staring at me. He sent shivers down my spine. Jackson seemed to notice how uncomfortable I was, and grabbed a hold of my hand. 

"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked. 

"I-I don't know. The teacher k-keeps staring at me." I whisper. Jackson looked at the teacher, who was still staring, but he immediately looked away when he saw Jackson. 

"Yeah, you're right. Maybe he heard about the fight already." He offered. I had a feeling that that wasn't it, but I nodded. 

Throughout the whole day the teacher kept giving me the creeps, and when lunch came around I was grateful. Jackson and I walked to lunch together, and sat at the same table. However, no one wanted to come around me. I was the freak for sure after this morning. 

Jackson and I were talking alone when the teacher came up to us, and handed me a slip. 

"Ms. Leeland, you have detention tomorrow in my room." He said, and walked away. My heart dropped. How would I tell Dad and Papa? I started to hyperventilate when Jackson started rubbing my back. 

"Hey, it's okay. It's just detention. I'll wait outside of the school for you if you'd like." He offered. 'How sweet.' 

"Uh, you don't have to. I was just worried about how I would tell my dads." I say, to which he nods.

"But I'll still wait for you." He smiles at me. 

"Why, thank you." I smile back, and we laugh together happily. What would I do without Jackson? I guess I really do love him.
