A Guardian to Be: The Jessica Parks Chronicles

Chapter 2 The Question

I woke up the next morning (which being in the vampire world meant it was night for humans) in my own dorm. I don't have a room mate and at that moment I was pleased with that.

  I glanced at my clock, I was late!

Oh Crap!! I thought

Ms Brown wanted me to meet with her and a counsellor to make sure I was ok to continue with my classes. 'Cause you know, I ran away and camped out in the woods for like four days. But still. To be perfectly honest I didn't think it was necessary but obviously Ms Brown thought otherwise.

  I basically threw some clothes on and as I ran out of my dorm I ran into Claire;

"Whoa there, why you running?" She asked,

"Late for a meeting with Brown." I replied flatly,

"Well you do know that you're breaking the rules.

"Oh for God's Sake! Yes as a matter of fact I do!" I said with a smirk on my face.

She returned it with a small smile,

"Ok well I don't want to keep you I'll see you later." She walked off.

"Bye!" I called over my shoulder as I started to walk away.

  As I neared the office I saw three of my teachers, one of them was Ms Brown. There was also the Depute a.k.a Vice Principal Mr Hutchinson and my Combat teacher Miss Jackson. I immediately started to think that this wasn't just a meeting about my 'health and mind set'.

  Ms Brown saw me first and told me just to wait in her office. It wasn't all that bad, I'd been in a couple of times before. It was a plain room with white walls and only one photo hanging on the wall. Her big mahogany desk sat in the centre of the room and it served it's purpose and more.

  Ms Brown came in with the others teachers and another pupil!

Michael! Michael Hillwright! God I hated him!!

  He always thought that he could get the better of me and Claire. I always saw him as a threat until now.

  He looked sad scared almost as if he'd seen a ghost. I kinda felt sorry for him but then I remembered what he did to Claire three weeks ago.

  It had started in the cafeteria at lunch. Him and Dylan Smith had walked past in a loud enough voice for us to hear,

"Do you really think she's having an affair. And with him of all people." Dylan had said to which Michael replied,

"I know right she could do so much better with me!!"

  I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Brown saying my name.

"Jessica! For the last time can you please cooperate with us or this meeting will have to go on longer than it has to and I have things to be getting on with!"

"But I...I-" I started but was cut off when I saw Shaun come in with bruises all over his face.

"Why the Hell is she here she isn't even involved!" He shouted.

"I'm not involved in what!!" I shouted back but it wasn't directed to Shaun, it was directed to Ms Brown and Michael.

I knew he had something to do with all this! I thought, the bastard!!! What has he done!!

"Hello Mr Taylor I'm glad you decided to join us." said Ms Brown.

"I still don't know what you are all taking about please someone tell me!!!!" I practical screamed it instead of saying but I was so confused and angry.

"Miss Parks-" Started Mr Hutchinson but I cut him off,

"Look sorry I snapped. It's just I'm confused."

"Yes well we all are." He stated, he obviously knew what was going on. I didn't have a clue.

  Ms Brown took over,

"There seems to be a little problem Jessica..." She said as she walked over and sat down at her desk. She continued,

"Mr Taylor and Mr Hillwright have had a little disagreement."

"It was more than just a little! He basically attacked me!" Complained Michael.

"Oh, stop exaggerating, all I did was punch you. You're the one that kept kicking me." Said Shaun.

"Both of you stop bickering!!!" Shouted Ms Brown. I've never seen her like that and it scared me a little.

"What I would like to know," She continued, "Is why it all happened in the first place."

"Well Miss that's where Jessi comes in." Michael said.

To be perfectly honest I didn't know what I had to do with all of this but I kept quiet so I could here what they were saying.

"Jess has nothing to do with it!" Shouted Shaun.

"She's the whole reason you punched me." Michael shouted back.

  I then realised what this was all about but I kept quiet just to see how far this would go and to hear what they both had to say about it.

"No, no it wasn't." Shaun said but he sounded unsure. It made me smile a bit.

"Yeah, cause you heard me talking to Dylan about asking her out and you didn't want her taken away from you!" Michael said in a matter-of-factly voice. I didn't know what to think. I knew Shaun liked me but I didn't think he would start a fight for me. I was in shock. Then I blurted out something I immediately regretted...

"You seriously started a fight 'cause of me?"

"Well maybe." Shaun replied. I felt loved but Michael had to go ruin it by saying...

"Only cause you're about to lose her."

"What do you mean?!" I asked him totally confused.

"Jessi," he said, "Will you go out with me?"

The really annoying thing about that question was that he thought I would say yes straight away.

" Michael I, I don't know what to say. Yeeeeee. No not in your dreams!" I replied. My answer was associated with a,

" Ha! Told you she'd say no!!"

OMG!! I thought, Does he really have to go say that!!

That comment was made by Shaun, the funny thing was that the teachers just watched it all happen like it was a Soap Opera.

  I stood up, said my goodbyes and left. As I walked out I saw Michael's jaw drop, I had a feeling it was because I'd rejected him so easily.

  I then saw David Mckustar another boy who has a major crush on me.

Ugh!! When does the line end!!!

"Hey my baby dhampir. What's up."

"I'm not in the mood for your flirting jokes." I replied.

"I'm not flirting, I'm just asking you a question." He said like he didn't know a thing.

"I know you just don't ask questions so what do you want?"

"I can so just ask questions!" He said,

"You do know that you're a crap liar right?!"

"Yes I do but I'm seriously worried about you. You just haven't been my baby dhampir lately. Are you ok?"

"No, as a matter of fact I'm not so leave me alone please. Just leave me alone."

  And I stormed up to my dorm in a crappy mood.
