Can Hate Turn into Love? (Jamona)

Chapter 3

Ramona's POV

The next day I woke up feeing so much better. I got up and got ready for school and then headed down to the kitchen for some breakfast.

I came down to find everyone already there sitting down and eating

"Morning sweetie, how are you feeling?" mom asks 

I take a seat next to her which happens to be across from Jackson

"I feel a lot better, I think I'll go to school today" I inform her

"That's great sweetie , well I better get going I have a meeting with a client to get to" she says as she stands up and kisses my head before heading out the door

I reach out to grab the juice at the same time as Jackson

"Let go" he demands pulling at the carton 

"No" I tell him as I pull as well neither one of us letting go

I continue to pull but then all of a sudden Jackson lets go and it causes all the juice to spill all over me. I can hear Jackson laughing 

"You jerk!" 

"Hey I told you to let go" Jackson says as his laughing dies down.

"Jackson that is not funny, now both you and Ramona clean this mess up while I go get Tommy dressed" Dj orders as she takes Tommy out of his high chair and heads upstairs.

"Come on Max let's go get your things ready for school" Stephanie says 

"Okay aunt Steph" 

Max and Steph leave the kitchen

Jackson is still laughing at me

"That's a good look on you actually, I'd say it's an improvement" he chuckles

Have I mentioned How much I hate Jackson?

"Shut up jerk" I say tossing  a piece of toast at him and hitting him in the face

I get up and head to my room to change my outfit

================================================================

"Okay class, I want you to use these  last couple minutes of class to get with your partner and start discussing ideas" Our English teacher Mrs. Davis instructed.

Ally who was sitting next to me stands up and heads over to sit with her partner Shannon.

I look over and see Jackson as he stands and leaves his friends to come take the seat next to me.

"Okay let's get this over with" he says

"Alright what book do you wanna do?" I ask him 

"I don't care, pick one" he shrugs seeming uninterested 

I start to think of good books that we could use

"How about......to kill a mockingbird?" I suggest

"Boring" he says

"okay, how about Animal Farm?"

"Boringer"

"That's not even a word" I point out

"Whatever, just pick a book" he says 

I roll my eyes and start thinking of a good book we could use, then I come up with just using my favorite book

"How about we do Catcher in the rye?" 

Jackson turns to look at me for a moment before answering "Okay"
