Running with Revenge

𝓼𝓲𝔁

"We are all lost stars

Trying to shine"

"Was that really necessary?" Jonah questions Lace about her actions.

"He's a butt and I can't tattle on him."Lace pouts and Jonah puts his arm around her shoulder.

"Where are we going" Lace shrugs as Jonah drags her somewhere, the crowd parting like the red sea.

"You'll see princess" Jonah murmurs as she takes her into Mrs. Franklin's office.

"What are we doing here?" Jonah gently shushes her and pulls her in.

Mrs.Franklin puts her head up and smiles at the sight of Lace.

"Hello dearie and Jonah. How can I help you?"

"Mrs. Franklin, we need the computer. Official entente business." Mrs.Franklin nods and slides out of her seat.

"What are you gonna do?"She asked while frowning at Lace's face.

"I have to change all my classes to Lace's" Jonah says while typing into the system.

"Why? What happened?" She looks toward Jonah with a panicked look. Jonah looks over at Lace who is fidgeting with her ring and gives the older lady the "dead" sign. Mrs.Franklin's son was part of the entente and they protected him from being bullied, she said that she would be their undercover staff member. Instantly Mrs. Franklin's eyes soften and they look at the fragile girl on the floor. Lace was trying to do something with her hair.

"Darling do you need help with your hair? I have three daughters, I can do something with your hair." She tries to convince Lace who shyly nods and sits on the floor letting Mrs. Franklin take control. Mrs. Franklin walks into the nurse's room and comes out with a single use comb. She runs the comb through Lace's hair, parting it. Jonah puts his eyes off the computer and sees Lace getting her hair done. He smiles, Lace deserves to feel pretty, especially after what happened yesterday. He directs his attention back to the computer screen and hits enter.

"Thank you so much!" Lace signs as Mrs.Franklin beams happy that she got to make her day just by braiding her hair.

"Princess you look gorgeous. Come on we gotta go put your stuff in the locker." Jonah waves Lace to her locker and whispers something into the teacher's ear. Mrs.Franklin nods and waves goodbye to the small freshmen.
