Jemma's pov

Beep, Beep, Beep.

Ugh, I roll over and slam my hand on that horrible contraption the devil invented to torment peaceful sleepers! I looked at the clock and groan, damn I only got to bed an hour ago. This is gonna be a kick ass first day of school!

I had 30 minutes to get ready for school. I jump up and shag ass getting showered, dressed and made up. My iphone buzzes letting me know I have a text.

U betta b on ur way here u sexy beeeyotch!! xxx Tina

yea yea keep ur thong on! be there in 5 xoxo Jems

I run out the room yelling at my little sister if she wanted a ride she had 2 seconds to get her cute little butt out here. We don't bother saying anything to our parents on the way out. What's the point, the only time we actually talk is in public when we have to pretend to be the perfect family.

We pull up to my bff's apartment and I barely put it in park before she's in the car.

"Excited are we baby-cake?" I ask laughing as Tina bounces around in her seat.

"Hells yeah baby-doll! We're Seniors, Just this year then we can get the hell outta there!" She says while turning around and looking at Jennifer (little sis)

"So Jen-Jen excited for your first day of freshman year? Finally you'll be able to hang with us in school!" I cheer with exaggerated pep.

"Hmm I think I'm gonna pass on that, I love you guys but you two are way too crazy and if I hang with y'all I'll be pulled into your schemes!!" Jen replied with an eye roll.

I chuckle at this "Hey, what schemes? And missy I'll have ya know we hardly ever get into trouble. Everyone loves us. We pep this place up!!" I retort as I pull into my parking spot.

We jump out of my Montero and head into the office as the bell rings. We grab our class lists and Jen heads off. Me and Tina head to first period.

Mrs Green looks up giving us a cranky glare. "Seriously ladies, do you think this is the best way to start off the new school year?" She demands with her hands on her hips and nose in the air.

I roll my eyes at her and say "Sorry miss, it wasn't my fault. Something came up!"

She sighed "What was so important you couldn't make it on time?" She snapped and tapped her foot impatiently to emphasize her point.

"Well me and Tina were making out and her hands went to my no-no place and well then-" She cut me off "Enough, just take a seat!" She screeched.

Let me take a second to catch you up on things while I zone out in this point less class. My name is Jemma James and I'm just a few months shy of being 18. I have insomnia, some times I'm lucky to get a grand total of maybe 6 hours of sleep a week. Other times I have no problem getting an average of 4 hours a night. Doctors think its stress and PTSD induced insomnia. Ha if they only knew how right they were.

I have the greatest little sister Jen-Jen and the cutest little brother Justin. None of us are very close to our parents. They basically ignore us unless we're being dragged to one of their work functions.

I'm the girl that talks to everyone but has a group of about 6 that I'm closest to. We're all crazy and pull stunts at school but at the end of the day, 9 times out of 10 we don't get in trouble. Most of the faculty love me with the exception of a few, Mrs Green is one of the exceptions.

Oh and me and Tina aren't really girlfriends but we're always together and we even bribed the counselor to give us the exact same schedule. So since there's always rumors about us and no amount of denying it makes a difference we just go with it and have a laugh.

The bell rings breaking me out of my zoning. As we make our way to our lockers I hear my name being called down to the office over the intercom.

Nicky walks up laughing "Damn girl you work fast, It's barely fixing to be second period and you're already in trouble! Scared of you, bad ass"

"Haha maybe they just missed me so much over the summer they couldn't wait to see me." I joked as I handed my stuff to Tina and told her I'd meet her in class.

Sitting in the office I watch as the principle, Mr Erickson and both vice principles walk in. "Hey guys y'all missed me that much, awe I feel so loved. Come on over, group hug!!" I shout jumping up from my chair.

Principle Erickson just laughed and said we had to discuss a few things. "Alright Miss James, last school year you missed quite a few classes. You have two options if you want credit for your classes. One, you can take credit by exams for all 7 of your second semester classes last year or you can make up 289 hours by staying after school with any teacher. Since you maintained a high GPA even while you were absent I'd suggest making the hours up." Principal Erickson stated.

"Damn how long do I have to make them up?" I huffed, making a conscious effort to avoid thinking about why I missed so much school last year.

"Well since you have so many we'll grant an extension until the end of this term, so you have until Christmas break starts. I know you can do its Jems." He said kindly and ruffled my hair.

"I'll get right on that captain" I say saluting him.

I walk into class group-texting all my BFFs and apparently hit a wall "Crap-tini that hurts" I whine rubbing my nose as it took the brunt of the impact. I look up from my phone into the wall's beautiful eyes.

Wait, walls don't have eyes....

OMG he's effin beautiful!

"Shit, uh sorry sir I was umm .. yeah I was at the office. Apparently I'm screwed and well yeah that's why I'm late." I muttered mentally slapping myself for sounding like an idiot.

I look back up at Mr. McHOTTIE and see him trying not to laugh.

Smooth Jems, you are so damn smooth I thought with an internal eye roll.

"Well screwed, nice to meet you but, I'm afraid you have the wrong class. I already took role and I'm pretty sure I'd remember seeing that name on there." Smexy McHottness teased playfully.

I hear snickers and look over at the full class laughing

"Damn damn double damn I hate today." I whisper self consciously but I brazen it out. That's just how I roll. Never let them see you freaking out. I turn to my peers with a giggly laugh and take a bow.

"Thank you, thank you, your adoration is much appreciated! Hehe had to start the year off with some entertainment! Glad you got to see me" I announced with a dramatic flare winking at them. Then I turned around and shagged ass out of there. The next two classes passed uneventfully.

Finally lunch, I'm starved. I meet up with my best buds and we head to the line. We laugh and joke and of course they bust out laughing at what I did earlier. We're sitting at our usual table when David puts some music on. He looks at me and says "I dare you to stand up and sing unless your gonna Vag up"

That tard! He knows I never back down from a dare

"Fine but if Imma do it, Imma do it right!" I say as I snatch his corn dog off his tray. I put on S&M by Rhianna and jump up on our table with my super cool corn dog microphone and start singing and dancing. If I'm gonna perform I'll give them a hell of a show.

Feels so good being bad (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

There's no way I'm turning back ( oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Now the pain is my pleasure cause nothing can measure ( oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Love is great, love is fine ( oh oh oh oh oh oh)

outta box, outta line ( oh oh oh oh oh oh)

the affliction of the feeling leaves me wanting more ( oh oh oh oh oh oh)

By now the whole cafeteria is watching so of course I drag Tina my partner in crime up with me.

Cause I may be bad but I'm perfectly good at it sex in the air I don't care I love the smell of it

sticks and stones may break my bones but chains and whips excite me

We finish the song and dance routine to everyone laughing and cheering and of course a few pervos yelling for us to get it on or can they join... Idiots.

The bell rings and we head to class. Yay I have Tina, Lisa, and Robert with me. Tina already memorized our classes so I just follow them in while checking my phone. I look up and damn...

I guess McHottness is my teacher after all. I use my kick ass ninja skills to covertly check him out. He's tall, a little over 6 foot I'm guessing, a nice light tan, dark brown hair, broad shoulders and enough muscles to slightly show in his teacher get up but not enough that you think he's gonna go all roid rage on you. I slowly move my eyes back up to his face. Mmm plump lips that just beg to be nibbled on.

I move my eyes slowly up to his and busted!! WTH? My awesome ninja skills failed me. How long has he seen me checking him out? From the slight smile and his laughing eyes I'm guessing he noticed a while ago... 

 FML could I be anymore of a loser?!?

What a great start to the new school year.

We sit down as a group and Robert nudges me "Hey sweetness, why did ya get so quiet? Are you sick or something? I didn't think you knew how to be quiet." He teased with a knowing grin.

I roll my eyes "Real cute Robby Pop. Maybe the reason you don't have a girlfriend is cuz ya suck at talkin to da chickas!!" I shot back. He just laughed and ruffled my hair like I was a toddler.

"Excuse me, but in my class we keep our hands to ourselves." Came a drool worthy deep voice.

I look up and Mr sexy-pants is in front of us and looking shrewdly at Robert.

"Sorry sir I was just playing with her." Robert replied with an eye roll.

"Yes, well play with her on your own time." Sexy McSexinstein said in a no nonsense tone.

"Oh man I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit! Robby Pop no offence but eww, you're never ever ever gonna play with me! YUCKO get that perverted thought right out of your dirty mind right now ass hat!" I shriek slightly gagging at the way that sounded.

Robert rolled his eyes. "How the hell did you know what Teach said made me take a trip to pervert-ville? I coulda just been contemplating the meaning of life or the weather or some shit." He whined.

I thumped his forehead and laughed at the glare he gave me. "Cause you don't giggle like a little girl if you're contemplating the meaning of life or the weather or some shit. You giggle like a half assed stupid little girl when you get dirty thoughts."

I looked up when I hear a slight cough "Awe crap I said that pretty loud didn't I?" I whined quietly.

Yummy McHotpants nodded with a slight smile but dropped it immediately and addressed the class. "Right well welcome to calculus class everyone I'm Mr. Jenkins and I hope y'all had a good summer and are refreshed and ready to learn."

He walked back to the front of class and leaned on his podium. "Since it's the first day back we'll go over the rules and course out line. First however, why don't we play a game while I take role so we can get to know each other better. I'll call a name and ask you a question and then you may ask me a question in return." He leaned over and grabbed a paper.

"Amber Adams?"

He looked at the girl raising her hand. " Okay Amber what's your favorite color?"

"Orange Sir" she replied

"Okay your question?" She blushed and said "How old are you sir?"

"I'm 22."

This went on for a while. Finally towards the end he called my name. I raised my hand and waited for his lame question in his lame teacher attempt to get to know us.

 Is this in the hand book or something because I think every teacher does this exact crap the first day of school. By now he was sitting on top of his desk with his hands braced behind him supporting his weight.

He looked down right edible...

He tilted his head to the side and seemed to be thinking deeply or maybe just zoning out because hello this can't be all that entertaining for him. "Right, well if you could have anything in the world what would it be?" He asked after what seemed like an eternity but was probably only a few seconds of direct eye contact between the two of us.

I raised an eyebrow whilst thinking what the hell? Everyone else gets lame favorite color or food type question and I get this. Hmm how do I answer that loaded question?

"Umm I'm gonna say for me to get more than an hour of sleep a night." I said with a negligent shrug like sleep deprivation wasn't a big deal. When I know differently, the longest I'd gone with no sleep was nine days and the hallucinations that came with that were not the same as trippin off a hit of acid. Much worse in fact.

His brows furrowed and he asked "Why do you only sleep an hour a night?"

"She's too busy sucking and screwing anything that has a pulse." Carrie sneered behind me.

She's the classic head cheerleader school slut and of course she's my arch enemy.

Before Mr Jenkins could do his teacher thing and give her a detention, I rolled my eyes at her bullshit and turned towards her with a big bright smile, time to go in for the kill...

 "Carrie be a good tramp and shut up. Obviously you're mistaking me for yourself. If I had as you so eloquently put it, screwed anything with a pulse then I'd have caught that nasty case of chlamydia you passed to 75% of the guys in this school over the summer! So how bout you shut the fuck up and go call your gyno to see about sewing that thing shut before you toxify the rest of the male population in our town!"

"You Bitch" She screamed raising her hand to slap me which in all honesty I was kinda banking on so I could beat that tramp's ass.

"ENOUGH!" Mr Jenkins yells grabbing her wrist to stop her. "Carrie I will not tolerate that kind of language or behavior in my class. Go to the office now. I'll send your write up in a minute." He thundered.

"What? She started it!" She screeched while stomping her foot.

"No you provoked her and then tried to get physical. Office now." He ordered much more calmly.

While this was going on everyone was trying to keep their laughter in and failing. What can I say, she's a total fucktard and nobody really likes fucktards do they? She left and we continued our get to know each other game. 

By the end of the period we learned that Mr Jenkins was 22, single, would never even think about getting involved with a student, Loved football and basketball, was in the army for about 5 years. His favorite color is grey and he has a dog. Not exactly thrilling information but ehh, what did I expect.

The bell rang dismissing us and I grabbed my stuff to book it out of there. Until I heard "Miss James I'd like a word with you please." In a no-nonsense voice

Man I knew I wasn't getting out of here with out being in trouble. Sighing, I told my buddies to go on. I'd meet up with them.

I turned back towards him with an innocent smile "Yes Sir?"

Sighing he ran his hand through his hair. "Look Miss James, I understand that you were upset by Carrie's comment. However you need to let me do my job and take care of things like that. That being said, I'm afraid between that and your earlier stunts I'm going to have to give you detention for the rest of the week starting tomorrow."

"Are you flippin serious, dude? She so deserved that and what other stunts? 3 days of detention is a little harsh for a misunderstanding between two hormonal females."

Ughh what a Jerk!

"Well I let you slide on at least half a dozen curse words, inappropriate innuendos regarding Robert and I let your little table performance at lunch slide. So I'm thinking it's fair especially since I'm recommending Carrie be suspended 3 days."

My performance...Aww man. I look down as I feel a blush coming on. What the crap? I never blush.

What is wrong with me today? Must be the last few weeks of lack of sleep. Yeah that would also make sense of the whole me 'going all eye raper on him earlier.'

"Umm well yeah I guess in that case it seems fair Sir." I looked up to see that same little smile and his light brown eyes twinkling with amusement. 

Seriously you could get lost in those babies!

They were.... 

 The bell ringing brought me out of my mental ramblings. Bell? Crap I'm late.

 "Mr. Jenkins could you possibly write me a pass to next period. I have Mrs. Monday and that sadist is totally psycho. She'll make me run like 20 laps for being late. While she rides that damn golf cart and complains about the heat and how her six cats don't like the seventh and that'll be more punishment then any sane person can stand."

I heard a soft chuckle and then he silently walked to his desk to fill a pass out for me. The rest of the school day passed by uneventfully and soon I was home talking to Jen-Jen and playing with Justin.

Around 11 my parents rolled in, I figured now is as good a time as any to tell them about my course credit options. All Dad said was "It's up to you Jemma bear"

Mom just said to be sure and get whichever option I chose done cause she doesn't want me failing, What would people think?

I lay down to try and sleep hoping to get enough to reboot my slugish brain.

 I stared at my ceiling just thinking about my day.

 About HIM. 

His deep warm voice and soft chuckle...

 I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
