Norman & Page

The L.I.M.P.

"What the hell Norman?" Charlotte swatted him upside the head.

"What?" Jace scratched his head looking like a lost puppy.

"How the fuck did you get a number 5 when you are supposed to get a quadratic equation?"

"What, you said solve and I solved it" Jace replied honestly.

"Oh god, what am I going to do with you?" Charlotte sighed exasperatedly.

"Maybe they didn't solve it completely in the textbook" Jace suggested.

"Yeah right," Charlotte said sarcastically shaking her head and face-palming herself.

"I knew this was a bad idea" Jace sad dejected.

Charlotte felt bad for him.

"Hey, its okay Jace"

"No, it's not. I am not cut out for this and to top it all, I can't work with distractions" Jace said irritated.

"Distractions? We are the only two people here Jace" Charlotte pointed out.

"Exactly," Jace said looking at her.

"I don't understand," Charlotte said confused.

"Why would you?" Jace scoffed.

"What does that mean?" anger raised in Charlotte's voice.

"Never mind, Just forget it angel," Jace said and looked at his book.

He looked up at her, "Actually, when were you planning on telling me about your interview for the L.I.M.P. angel?" he asked her in an angry tone.

"Who told you?" Charlotte tensed up a bit because she didn't want him to know until after she has attended it.

"Your little "friend" did," Jace said air quoting the word friend.

"Jace, I can explain"

"Save it, angel, I don't want to hear anything. You are not going anywhere near that guy, ever" Jace declared.

"Who are you to tell me what to do Norman? I am my own person and I make my own decisions" Charlotte yelled at him.

"You are my girlfriend and I get to....." Jace was interrupted by Charlotte.

"Wait, girlfriend? I never agreed to be your girlfriend Norman" she retorted.

"You will soon, angel" Jace replied cockily.

"You know what, you should go, now," Charlotte said opening the front door.

Jace sighed and left.

After he left, "How did I get myself into this mess?" Charlotte asked herself burying her face in her hands and leaning on the door.

Jace, on the other hand, went to his room and called Jade.

Phone Conversation

"Hi Jace"

"Hi Jade," Jace said rather sadly.

Jade knew something was wrong cuz he normally addresses her as bestie.

"What is it buddy?" she asked in a concerned voice.

"It's Charlotte, she wouldn't listen to me"

"What did you do Jace?" Jade asked in a disapproving tone.

"Me? I didn't do anything, she did" Jace complained.

Jade sighed, "Okay what did SHE do?"

"She wants to go to that L.I.M.P. interview thing even after I told her not to"
