The Heart Always Wins [The Jerk & her]

Chapter 17 - Muse and Escort

(Maddie's Pov)

It's Thursday,

My whole body really hurts, because of what happened yesterday.

And I'm sure that Jerk's back hurts even more, 'cause I landed on him.

I didn't really want to go to school today, because I heard, Thursday is the day when we have nothing to do but to be in Ms. Audreys dance class.

We're here at the room where we have to practice a dance, a dance which we really have no idea what it is, or how to do it.

"First of all, before we start. I just want you to know. On sunday, Professors and other teachers from Haven University will be visiting us." Ms. Audrey said,

Someone raised a hand.

"What's the occassion?"

"Well, that's why we're gonna practice dance." Miss Audrey answered her.

Everyone whined, exept for me, 'cause I really don't have any idea at all.

"They'll see the performance of other sections, especially this class. Since we're the only ones they wanted to have a muse and an escort."

"Who'll be the escort then?" Carl asked,

"Mmh, James Standord, I suggest." Miss Audrey said,

Really? They said to pick an escort, not a jerk who feels like one.

"As always, James is picked to be the escort, just like last year." Penny whispered in my ear.

"Maddie, dear"

I was talking to penny, when Ms. Audrey called me.

Eyes are starting to stare at me.

"Can you be the muse?"

"What?" I just said,

"W-why me?"

"Yeah, why her?" The jerk interrupted,

Ms. Audrey looked around.

"Well, since you're the prettiest in the whole class, and James here, is the most handsome of all-"

"You guys will be perfect!" Someone shouted, and everyone started to cheer for us.

I just made an awkward look on my face, and James just stand there with his confused face.

"If I here you two complaining, I will have to punish you." Ms. Audrey scared the two of us with her punishments listed on her paper.

"Complaining? No one's complaining." James glared at me when he was talking sarcastically.

(Carl's Pov)

"Ugh! If I would have to suggest changes in this school, I would have to cancel lunch breaks."

I said staring at myself in the mirror.

"My beautiful face is ruined!"

"Carl Francis Smith! Pull yourself together girl. You got fat, that's it. Move on!" Penny shouted at me.

We were at the canteen,

It's lunch break.

"I can easily move one from the fact that I am getting fat. But what just happened earlier is unbelievable." I said,

And Maddie was staring at me, she looks like she was really confused.

"I'm talking about you and James." I added,

Her forehead dropped on the table.

"Why does it have to be me?" She said,

She's lucky she became the muse with James Stanford for her partner.

The bell rang.

I guess we better get back to the room, to practice dance with Ms. Audrey.

And to probably tease Maddie for having her worst enemy as her partner Hahahaha!

(Mitch's Pov)

We're all in positions.

Carl is my partner.

Zayne is Penny's partner.

All boys' hands are on every girls' waist.

And all girls' arm are around every shoulder of them boys.

Well, exept for the two.

You know exactly who it is.

Ms. Audrey's having a hard time making them do what she says.

Even her punishments are not convincing enough to force them both.

"Dude, come on. Our knees are getting tired of standing here. Just put your arms around her."

Luke said,

James was just leaning against the wall, his hands on his pockets, and a head turned down.

He's acting like he doesn't hear anything at all.

Maddie on the other hand, I know she doesn't want to disappoint Ms. Audrey and neither all of us.

She really wants to do it, but James is making a fuss over it.

"If you two won't move now. I'll just have to put you in detention." Ms. Audrey said,

And that made James move away from the wall he was leaning onto.

He stood in front of Maddie.

Ms. Audrey held James's hand, and she put it on Maddie's waist.

After that she grab both of Maddie's arm.

And she put it around James's shoulder.

Everyone was like: 

"Yieeee."

"OMG, they're so cute."

"They look perfect for a couple."

And Carl was like:

"That's my James alright!"
