~Jack's POV~



The bell rang for lunch. I can finally see Jenn walking down the hallway. I needed to talk to her about something. I've been dating this girl for about two weeks. Her name is Brittany. I haven't told anyone about her because I didn't trust anyone. I definitely thought I should tell Jenn though, she's my best friend after all.

I went to my locker and put everything away. I grabbed my lunch bag out from the side hook inside, and headed for the lunch room.

I sat down at a table towards the back of the cafeteria. I see Jenn on the other side, so I stand up and wave her over. She smiles, and heads my way.

When she gets here about thirty seconds later or something, cause let's face it, I don't count, she sets down her lunch bag and we both look over because a different table is singing the eggs, bacon, sausage song.

Alex at table 1: "Everybody say sausage, keep it goin." People bang the tables to the beat.

Table 1: "EGGS, BACON, GRITS, SAUSAGE!"

Alex at table 1: "Tell that bitch come here lick my.."

Table 1: "SAUSAGE!" They finish off and keep singing.

Me: "Anyway, listen. I have something I wanna tell you."

Jenn: "Go ahead."

Me: "I've been dating this girl for a few weeks. Her name is Brittany. I didn't tell anyone about her because I didn't trust anybody. Can I trust you?"

Jenn: "Oh.."

Me: "Can I?" She looks down as if she was.. Disappointed? She kinda zones out and doesn't answer my question. "Jenn?" I say her name a little louder than I was speaking.

Jenn: "Sorry. What'd you say?"

Me: "I asked if I can trust you."

Jenn: "Of course. Your my best friend. I wouldn't do anything bad to hurt you." She smiles a small smile, but I can tell that she was faking it.

Me: "Good, but... Is there something wrong?"

Jenn: "No, I'm fine. Totally fine." She looks back down.

Me: "Okay."

The bell rings and we both say bye to each other. I open my arms for a hug, but she didn't seem to wanna hug me. Jenn was looking down, so maybe she didn't see me. I went to the trash can and threw away my lunch, even though I didn't eat any of it.

Then, we went our separate ways to our lockers. Once I got to mine, I opened it and got everything I need for History, English, and Spanish. Spanish is the only class Jenn and I have together, but it's every other day.

So every student got to pick what they wanted their 'extra curriculum' to be. You can pick between Spanish and French. Of course a language subject cause school is that fun. With Jenn and I's awful Spanish, we had to choose that subject.

Anyways, I went to my third academic, History. As I walk into class, everyone is staring at me.

Ms. Kelley: "Jack, your late."

Jack: "Oh, sorry." I guess I didn't hear the bell ring when class started because I was thinking about something else.

Ms. Kelley: "Alrighty then. We're talking about the gods of Egypt. First is Isis. I'll show a power point and you guys are going to write notes on your E/I chart. Just like all the other classes did." She talked in a 'bored-ish' way. The teachers do the same things in every academic though, so I can see her point.

The bell rung again, and I headed to my second to last subject for today. English.

The class was boring as usual. We talked about Myths and Legends, and all that boring stuff that absolutely nobody cares about.

~

My last class, for today, finally. Spanish. I go into the class and head to my seat. I sit in the middle of the room and Jenn sits towards the front. She's already there, and she's slouching in her seat looking down. I can tell she was crying.

Me: "Are you okay? Did something happen to you?" I stop walking and whisper.

Jenn: "Yes."

Me: "You don't look okay."

Jenn: "Well I'm fine."

Miss Gibson: "Hola clase." Which means hello class in Spanish.

~

The class finished, but I gotta see what's wrong with Jenn. She was the first one to get out of class so I couldn't really catch up with her.

I put my stuff back in my locker. I got my backpack and put everything I needed to finish for homework in there. Jenn was walking down the hallway, so I decided to go talk to her.

Me: "Hey Jenn!" She turns around and stops.

Jenn: "What."

Me: "What happened to you? Why are you so broken down?" Her head rises slowly, and then I see the problem. A black eye.

Jenn: "This.." She whispers.

Me: "Oh my god. Who did that to you?"

Jenn: "I- I can't say."

Me: "Yes you can, Jenn."

Jenn: "No, listen. I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow." Her body turns and leaves the school building. I just stand there staring at her walk away.
