A Second Chance

Chapter 3

     Chapter 3 was in the works when I posted the 2nd one and had a lot of free time, so I decided to get it out and posted simply to have background and have something for people to read. I ramble a lot so ima just leave this here and let you enjoy the twists that is coming this chapter, ENJOY!

     A week passed and so did Labor Day weekend, which meant school was starting and it was September 6th, 2016. It felt strange for Clay considering 3-4 weeks ago that this date was about a year before hand. He got ready for school and walked to school and waited for Tony to arrive in his mustang while he waited he saw Hannah walking, alone and he knew that he shouldn't hesitate, especially with all that he knew. As he headed in her direction she walked past Justin's group and Justin didn't try to talk to her like what Hannah said had happened in the tapes. Clay kept walking before reaching her and saying, "Alone on the first day doesn't go well, you'll need some company." Hannah turned around and laughed at Clay, "Hi Helmet, were you following me?" Clay smiled, "No, I noticed you and came to assist, call it what you want." Hannah smiled back at that. "Well seeing that we only have a few minutes before we go in, what do you wanna do?" Hannah asked. Clay didnt really know, but he saw a bench and asked if she wanted to sit, which she said yes to. They sat down for what was about 10 minutes and him and Hannah went through their schedules and saw they had communications class together as well as French and English. The first bell ran and they had 10 minutes to get to class, since it was the first day, lockers weren't used quite yet, all they needed was in their backpacks.

- Hannah's schedule: History (a), Geometry (b), Chorus (a), English (b), Communications (a), Biology (b), Research (a) ,French (b)

- Clay's schedule: GYM (a), History (b), Research (a), English (b), Communications (a), Chemistry (b), Geometry (a), French (b)

(Lunch after 5th and 6th period)

     Clay walked into GYM class as first bell, as Coach Patrick introduced himself to everyone. It was strange for him to have to go through the same procedures, literally, but he knew this stuff shouldn't even be happening so he'll be thankful and will have to take the bad with the good. It flew by, and he went to Research class, where it was mostly like a writing class, so he wasn't too keen on it, but he remembered he passed the class so it should be better this time around. Clay then looked at his schedule and the time and realized that communications class was next, with Hannah. He got happy at the thought of that, but also had a flashback to when the picture Justin took of her got spread around that very class, at least he shouldn't have to worry about something like that from happening, again.

     Clay walked into Mrs Bradley's communication class and noticed that just about as the late bell was going to ring, Hannah walks in and sits in the set of desks across from where Clay was, but with the seats behind one another. The class was going alright, just boring 1st day things as normal and every once in a while he'd look up and notice Hannah, as she payed attention to Mrs Bradley talking. Eventually it was 2 minutes left of class before lunch, and class was done until the bell rang. Clay, still sitting, grabbed his bag and turned around to face Hannah. "So, how's the first day been to this point?" Clay asks getting a sarcastic smile from Hannah, "So great, I can compare this to being at an amusement park." Clay laughed a bit at his friends' joke. "Clay." Hannah then says a little bit more serious. Clay noticed, "What is it Hannah?" At first Clay thought for some reason that she knew he was back and that the weird wish worked, but he was fooled when he heard her say, "can I talk to you about a, guy, I met?" Clay felt his heart drop but he didnt want to make the same mistake as he had with Justin. "Wow, day 1 and youre already making moves?" Clay says trying to lighten it a bit. "Oh shut up and dont be so jelly!" The bell rang for lunch and they both got their food and sat at a table outside by a tree. "So, who's this guy you were obsessing about?" Clay said as he began to eat his sandwich. Hannah rolled her eyes at hearing that, "Im not obsessing, we just met and he thought I was pretty so, I when he asked for my number I gave it to him." Clay decided that it might be best he goes with it, he didnt know the person that Hannah met. "His name is Jackson, Jackson Garcia." Clay definitely knew he didnt know any kid named Jackson. "Hmmm, what class was it in?" Hannah looked down before answering, "Chorus, he has an amazing voice." Clay fancied knowing more on this guy, because he knew he would have to get along or at least act kindly to him to avoid being seen as the sabotaging whatever their relationship turns into.
