Broken promises ~ JJ Maybank ~ Sequel to Promises

Chapter twenty-eight ~ Professional Help

Jj hadn't returned to the chateau that night, I was officially worried about him. Pope woke us up telling up we have a stupid geometry test in like an hour. We get up and get ready to go. Now in shorts and a purple oversized T I threw on which was most likely JJ's we were off. We got in the Twinkie and drove to JJ's.

Jb: you think he'll be here?

John b asked me.

K: I hope so.

Pope went in and dragged Jj by his backpack, he was defo sleeping. He threw him in the back with me and we drove to school.

Luckily Jj was pretty much asleep the whole drive so we didn't have to talk.

We got out the Twinkie and head to our class.

I worked through my paper but wondered were Kiara was, she said she'd meet us here but wasn't here. I kept answering my questions and finally the bell went, god it's warm in here. The four of us walked out of class ready for the next one.

Jb: so bonfire tonight?

P: sure

Jj: I'm in

John b looked at me.

K: maybe I don't know yet.

Jj: she'll probably call someone else to get a definite answer before.

He mumbled before he walked off.

Jb: you good?

John b looked at me concerned.

Jb: you know jj, he's just jealous he's not the only boy in your life, but sorry you're not getting rid of us that easy.

I laugh at him.

Jb: there you go, it'll all work out and by the party you'll be making out. Cya in class.

He saluted to me and I did back as I walked to the bathroom.

I was walking down the corridor after going to the bathroom, until I heard someone calling my name.

M: miss Thornton

I turn around to see miss mason the guidance counsellor.

M: I was hoping I'd see you

We walk inside and sit down.

M: I'm miss Mason.

K: I know. Your the guidance counsellor.

She smiles slightly.

M: I've heard a lot about you Miss Thornton.

K: you can just call me keira.

She nods.

M: okay.

K: you said you've heard a lot about me?

M: yes, about your friends, your family. You.

I look confused, what does she know?

M: keira I want to help you.

K: who told you to talk to me?

M: you haven't been at school recently.

K: none of my friends have. Where's their meeting?

I say getting uncomfortable.

M: keira, you've gone through a lot.

K: we all have, it's no big deal
