“Here, use this for water,” Jasper said, shoving a ten dollar bill in my hand.
“That's more than I need…”
“Buy breakfast too then.”
“Thank you…”
“Don't be sad love, I'll see you in film analysis.” He hugged me quickly then ran off to his first period class.
I trudged off to math.
“Where did you go yesterday Emmalyn?” My geometry teacher, Ms. Andrews asked. I gulped,
“Bathroom… like I said.”
“You were gone for an awfully long time.”
I stayed silent. “Detention, tomorrow, I'll see you there, otherwise your parents will receive a phone call from me, understand?”
“Yes ma'am.”
“You will also be demonstrating the answers for the homework, I'm assuming you did it?”
I gulped, I had only done the parts I understood, which definitely wasn't much. I usually asked Jasper to help me, he was a whiz at math and amazing at explaining to me. I didn't want him to be annoyed with me so I didn't ask for help this time…
“Not much Miss…”
“Another detention then!”
I could feel the twitching coming on. I nodded and went to sit in my seat.
I survived through maths, barely. I just about slept through second (study hall) and ran to Film Analysis. I slid into my seat next to Jasper, he smiled and put his arm around me, I gratefully smiled and put my head on his shoulder.
“You look tired.”
“Dont I always?”
“More than usual.”
“I took a nap.”
“Ah, that would explain your hair.”
“Is it bad?!”
“It's ruffled, it's cute.”
“You think I'm always cute.”
“Can't deny that.”
I sighed and sank down in my seat. Then sprang up. We were watching To Kill A Mockingbird today, I loved the book and had never seen the movie. I could see Jasper looking at me and smiling out of the corner of my eye.
