Chapter 3

"Jobiline Marie Huntington, looks like you're up next, why don't you come up and tell us about your presentation." As soon as the teacher mentioned her name, Jobi's heart throbbed. Slowly she made her way in front of the class.
" um, hi, my name is uh, um,"
"Hey look at that! She forgot her name!" A kid shouted and everyone burst out laughing. Except for Piper, who only giggled a little.
"Now class! That's not very nice, would you want someone to do that to you when you were giving a presentation?"
"Yes!" Another kid shouted.
"That's strike three for the day Mr. Carver, and you know what that means..."
Jobi continued as Mario Carver was escorted to the principles office.
"So um, my project is about photography because I love to take pictures. For my birthday last year my mom got me a special slow motion and time lapse video camera so I could make special videos."
"I'm sorry class but we have run out of time for today Jobiline, would you like to continue next week?"
"Oh, no that's okay, give someone else a chance."

Jobi made her way to the table where Piper was sitting. And of corse, Constantine was there, along with Mark and Liam, Jobi's twin brother. Piper seemed to be having a good time, but all Jobi could do was sit there and glare at Mark.
"Oh Constantine, please do continue your theory about unicorns!" Piper begged.
As he continued, Mark stared at Jobi.
"What?" Jobi sounded uncomfortable.
"Did you know that your eyes sparkle in the sunshine?"
"What?!"
"He loves you!" Liam whispered to his sister.
"Hey, I love her as much a pig loves being slautered and made into bacon!" Mark hissed at his friend while also elbowing him in the stomach.
"Good."
"So, who do you want to ask you to prom?" Liam winked at her.
"Are you crazy?! I'm just sitting by the snack table all night, there is no one I wanna go with."
"Nice try sis, I know the truth."
"Liam!"
As soon as Constantine finished talked he cleared his throat. "So, Piper, I was wondering, has anyone asked you to prom yet?"
"No," Piper hinted.
"Well, um, would you want to go, maybe, with me?"
The whole table went silent.
"Sure!" Piper hugged him then turned red. "Um, yeah..."
"Traitor," Jobi whispered to her best friend.
"He spoke first!"
"So?"
"Perkins!"
"Huh?"
"Perkins at three o'clock!"
"Oh no,"
Perkins sat down beside Jobi and slides so there shoulders were touching. His caramel hair sway as he shook his head in slow motion.
"Hey Jobiline, what's up?"
"Please, call me Jobi."
"Anything for you babe." He grinned.
"Stay away from me."
"Say, now there's an idea, how would you like to go to prom, with me?!" He showed his pearly white teeth in a smile so bright, Jobi could have sworn she saw his teeth shine, just like in those toothpaste commercials.
"Your disgusting."
"So how a bout it?"
"No way! Some one has already asked me!"
"Really?"
"Yeah, really?" Piper said with a shock expression.
"Yes um, he's right here!" She grabbed Mark.
Everyone at he table gasped.
"Why me?" Mark whispered in her ear. "Besides Constantine and Perkins you are the only one not related to me, Constantine already asked Piper and Perkins is terrifying."
"Good point,"
"Well Mark, I have to hand it to you, you have a way with the ladies."
"Shut up," he pushed him, playfully.
"Um, Piper, could I talk with you for a second?"
"Sure Jobi, but w-"
Before she could ask why, Piper was pulled to the girls bathroom.
"What's all this about? And how come you never told me about you and Mark? I thought you hated him!" She asked, hopping onto the counter.
"I do! It's crazy I know but I needed an excuse to not go with Perkins!"
"You've got a point there,"
"Then you understand?"
"It makes sense! I would do anything to get away from that guy."
"Come on, let's go before they get suspicious."

When they returned to the lunch room Perkins had finally left and Mark was trying to explain to Liam that he had never asked her out. Of course, Liam didn't believe him and just smirked when Jobi walked up.
"Hope you two love birds don't get sick of eac other!" He sneered.
"Shut up!" Jobi shouted at him. Then she whispered in Mark's ear. "Don't even try anything, I still hate you for that photo and don't think your getting off the hook from putting mustard in my penut butter sandwich."
"Mustard? What are you talking about?"
"Penut butter isn't yellow." She pointed to her sandwich.
"Oh, that..."
"I have to get to class, bye."
"See you later!" Piper called after her.
