Jon Cozart, the paint

The classes resume

Jon walks into his first class, thinking maybe things will get better. It doesn't. Immediately his algebra 2 teacher, Ms. Star, seats him in the front of the class, so he doesn't, "mix in with the bad crowd in the back". All of his classmates fight each other to get the desks near him. When class starts, and the worst of the frenzy is over, the girl next to him starts speaking.

"So, what made you come to this school. I mean, a big star like you should be going to a private school or should be homeschooled."

Jon replied with, "I just want to be a normal teenager. To go to school like everyone else. And my dad thinks I should too." The girl gives him a weird look and says, " Whatever. My name is Jella. Well, my whole name is Jellane, but call me that and you're dead." Jon shakes his head in compliance, and turns back to the teacher.

She was going over the syllabus for the semester, and then starts naming some math related extra curricular activities students can do for extra credit.

"There is academic games, the math majors club, and computer programming club, all of which you can join for one whole percent point per club achievement. We want to make sure you're actually trying!"

"More like actually dying," says a jockey blond kid in the back. Everyone laughs at this and Ms. Star gives him a nasty look. Soon math is over, and Jon joins the academic games team, he always has been a nerd.

He is on his way to his next class, chorus, when a group of guys stop him. "Hey paint, sing for us. Tell us how Mary didn't know her baby was white." Jon tries just ignoring and pushing past them but it doesn't work. "Where do you think you're going. You think we're gonna let some celebrity walk the halls without us. You're apart of us now. Imagine all the girls we'll get."

"Leave him alone!" screams a girl behind them. While the guys are distracted, Jon runs away, hiding behind some other kids. The group of boys leave, and Jon comes out to thank the girl who saved him. "Thanks for helping me." She replies, "No problem. But I might need some protection now because they are not gonna let me go with that."

"Maybe I'll just stick around, be your own personal celebrity super hero," he replies with a small hint of flirt.

"By the way, my name is Ellefonda. But my friends call me Elle. My next class is chorus, what's yours?" Jon was distracted by how pretty she was. She had long red hair, the unnatural color of red, and it in a scene cut. She had to little piercings under her lip, and her baggy shirt you could see the tip of a wing tattoo rising on her shoulder. The shirt she was wearing had a band on it called my chemical romance. Jon has heard of the band but none of it's music. Maybe he'll listen to some later. But right now he was focused on the fact that this cool girl he had just met is going to be in his next class.

"Same here. Walk together?" he asked. And then they went off to their next class, Jon wondering what kind of adventures he'll get into with this girl.
