Doodling Our Way Back

Chapter 8

Jack (seniors) Pov

Josephine and Jack weren't at school for the remainder of the week. I haven't bothered to visit them in the hospital because I don't want people swamping me and labelling me as a hero. I don't want that sort of attention at all.

The rest of the school days were blunt. Nothing happened just kept teaching the same thing. At least with them we connected on a different level and bonded. I've never had that with any kid or student before (besides from Cora). Having them two is the highlight of my day. It isn't teacher and student. It is a friend and a friend. And that's all some people need these days. Especially kids.

Every afternoon I will go to the park and draw people and the scenery. And at home I draw the Titanic, Rose, and them two. All of those things have changed my life forever.

Josephine pov

"But mommy we really want to go to school", me and Jack begged to her to let us go.

"No Josephine", she said strongly.

"But then we will become dumb if we don't go", Jacky fought back at her.

"Jack I don't want another word said from you!", she pointed the finger at him, "now get back into bed", she then tried to march us to our bedroom.

"No!"

"Josephine. Jack", she said kindly looking down upon us. We then gave her out best puppy eyes to allow us to go. "Fine you can go", we then both rejoiced, "but I'm picking both of you up", we then paraded into our room and got changed and went to school.

*at school*

Ms Rocker hasn't hit me at all today. She has been awfully quite since Jack stormed in here and pulled me and Jack out. She just kept looking at me to see if I had done my work at all. The bell then rung.

"Josephine, Jack come here", she ordered us while she was writing, "you two still have detention today"

"But we had that last week", Jack replied.

"Ah yes. But you didn't do the full week because you two ran away and got sick", she wickedly smiled at us, "you have it today and tommorow and that's it. Unless of course, you want to keep doing it", she then looked at us with her snake eyes. I know now that we have to leave. We then go to Jacks class room.

"Hey!", he welcomed us with, "how are you two feeling today?"

"Fine", we both said quietly pulling out our books.

Roses pov

I've waited for the twins to come out after school for almost thirty minutes now. Where could they be? Getting beaten by another teacher again? Not on my watch. I stormed into the school office.

"Where are Josephine and Jack?! I know you have them here!", I yelled at Mrs Moore.

"Oh. So you must be Josephine and Jacks mother Rose. Pleasure to meet you", she held out her hand.

"I don't have time for this!"

"Don't have time for what? Looking for your kids? Oh I'm quite sure Mrs Dawson they are in quite safe good hands here", she said sternly correcting me.

"Where are my children?", I tried to ask politely.

"Oh you don't know where they are or what they've got on? My my Mrs Dawson you truely look after your kids", now I'm staring to get angry.

"Where are my children?!", I raised my voice louder.

"I'm quite surprised actually. No wonder why they ran away"
