how to murder: chapter 3

junior year

jack johnson>

"a rap battle mr. johnson? let me get this straight. A RAP BATTLE during study hall? that is absolute nonsense."

this is what i get for helping people. a life lesson from principal evans, just wonderful.

"listen, this is a new thing i'm trying to do and i like expressing my thoughts through my words and people enjoy it-"

"save it. you're suspended for three days."

"oh...suspended, well you see, i'd much rather prefer a detention."

he wasn't taking my shit i guess. he picks up the phone and the student phone book.

"who should i call to pick you up?"

sammy's screwed.

lydia parker>

"lydia holy shit. you basically were just asked out and you're not even reacting to it?"

sometimes kaylee needs to learn when to open and close her mouth. i really thought was jack did was somewhat cute but i'm not going to move on already.

"i know about your theory about only dating when you have true feelings for the person but girl, how are you going to fall in love when you don't even try with guys?"

  "i'm sorry but i'm not ready to be taken again. single is such a good feeling. like i can go to parties and be a free woman."

  kaylee rolled her eyes and we walked into geometry.

"you didn't know johnson got suspended? where you been lyd bug."

that there is matthew espinosa. he transferred a few months ago from some weird private school in virginia. he looked lost and no one really seemed to make an effort to talk to him so i did. he's one of my best friends now.

"i had no clue..."

"well he did and he did it all for you. maybe you should give him a chance. you don't always have to play hard to get, it's not bad to show a little bit of interest you know," matt says as he gets up off my couch and makes his way to my kitchen.

maybe i should just give him a chance. i don't know how dumb i'd be if i didn't just go get a shake with him or something.

"LYDS THE PHONE IS RINGING."

i get up and check the caller ID and what a surprise, "it says johnson."

"what the fuck are you waiting for. answer the phone before i answer it for you and schedule your date myself."

giving matt my signature eye roll i answer the phone and change my voice to the sweetest tone possible, "hello lydia parker speaking."

"hey it's jack! i really think we didn't leave all on good terms like me being dragged to the office...haha."

aw he's so awkward it's kind of cute.

"yeah it's all good. you really are talented in the rapping industry my friend."

"so we're friends now?"

"sure we're friends now," i say with a faint giggle.

"well as your new friend i'm obligated to take you out."

oh here it comes.

"where would this new friend be taking me?"

"that my friend, is a surprise. i'll be there at six on saturday. you can just dress casual."

"so is this a date?"

"it's a date my friend."

i hang up the phone as matt screams, "GIRL YOU GOT YOURSELF A DATE."

"shut up," i laugh as i playfully punch his shoulder.

jack johnson>

"nice work buddy. keep up the good work and you'll have her hooked in no time."

i put the phone down and let out a deep breath.

"sammy is lucky i am a good friend."
