The Attraction between Zara & Jace

Chapter 3

Cassidy on top

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With the struggle of avoiding getting pushed and shoved by the whole student body ,we manage to get to our homeroom without a scratch.

Taking our seats, we waited for the teacher to show up. About 2 minutes later Mr. Hyde entered. "Good morning class I hope you enjoyed your summer because I sure did." ,Mr.Hyde said. Answered with a chorus of "good morning Mr.H's" and someone saying "well it wasn't long enough" he started explaining what we would be expecting and be expected as seniors.

Not long after the bell rung again signaling first period.

†**********††************††************††***************†

Brrrrrrrrringgg! Yay lunch. Finally sweet freedom and something to look forward to. Sprinting out of the class I ran to the cafeteria. The first four periods was torture I mean come on we did a lot of work. The worst part is, so far I already got homework from all four subjects. On the first day. Seriously? Wtf?! Can you blame me for complaining and being excited for lunch.

Buying myself a slice of pizza, an apple, two brownies and a juice box, I head to a vacant table. Soon after I was joined by my friends.

"I swear Mr.Baldish finds pleasure in making us suffer." ,Cassidy announced to no one in particular. "True. But at least he only makes you suffer and not hate you like he does to Zara." , Ryder states in a matter of fact way. "More like despise.", Will adds. Making me groan and causing everyone to burst out laughing including Fred and even Jace who has been quiet. Groaning I went back to eating my brownie.

After their laughter died down. Gemma asked the question I kept avoiding to answer in a serious tone yet I could clearly see laughter in her eyes. Stupid hippie. "Yeah? Zara why does he hate you so much?"
Sighing I took one more bite of the chocolatey goodness, I started.

"Well..."Looking up I'm met with their expecting gazes who made me feel down right self-conscious. Knowing them for 3 years now you would think I'd be use to them looking at me especially Jace. But I'm not. So I continued in a sad attempt to mimic of some bored tone. "Lets just say I'm the reason his bald." And I told them the everything.

Here's the story. See back in England Mr. Baelish use to be my neighbor. At that time I was only 11. Every week Nikolai, Liam, Tyler, and I took it upon ourselves to paint Mr. Baelish' snow white cat, Stan , a different color. We took turns of course in groups of two. One winter's day it was Liam and I's turn. We had to break into the house and grab the cat. Easy right? Well wrong. When Liam and I climb through the window we manage to make it inside.

Looking around for Stan. We found him on Mr. Baelish' lap. Only problem was Mr. Baelish was sitting next to the fire place. Fast asleep on the single chair. I knew trying to get Stan from Mr. Baelish' lap would most likely wake him up. But being the stupid idiots we were. We went along with the plan. Liam set out to find something to lure Stan of Mr. Baeslish' lap .I attempted to grab Stan and run. But when I reached out to grab him. Only did he move and woke his owner and Mr. Baelish stood and yelled trying to grab me only resulting in him slipping on some spilt water on the floor. Falling in front of the fire. Next thing I know his head caught fire.

Hench him being bald and being called Baldish and not Baelish. Ever since that day he hated me. No. Despises.

When I was done they were staring at me open mouthed with horrified expressions. I thought they would let it go but boy was I wrong. Because sadly that did it for them.The next thing I know they're all on the floor laughing. Oh god making poor Fred jump up in surprise. And the whole cafeteria went silent watching the scene unfold in front of them. Ryder was practically chocking on his laughter.

Me being the mature one told them to shut up. But nooo they kept on laughing. Oh well I tried. Sipping from my juice box watching them.

Jenna was the first one to stop laughing. Thankfully changing the subject. "So were still hanging out after school at Will's house, right?"

"Yeah but I need a ride since I came with Liam."
"You could ride with-" I stopped Cassidy before she could finish her sentence. "No thanks I'd rather walk then listen to you and Ry being all lovey-dovey."
"Same goes for you guys." I said pointing at Gemma and Will. They just smirked. Knowing Carter he was most likely going to offer so I spoke before he could utter those words. "NO. Just no" Catching a ride with him and Jenna is like watching an episode of The Jerry Springer Show. They always argue about nothing and everything.
"Fine. Then ride with Jace and Fred for all I care." , Carter says with fake hurt.
Sticking my tongue out I turn to Jace and finds him already staring at me. Like always he just nods at me.

The bell rung signaling the end of lunch.
