Chapter 4

I look at Jack as he smiles at me. He had the kind of smile that could make other people smile. I can tell he is the kind of person who tries to make others happy. Jack looks at me, "Your the new girl. Jessica, right?" I shake my head at my name. "Jess?" He looks at me and I shake my head again. "Hmm... Jesse?" I nod and he smiles. "Well, it's nice to meet you Jesse." After about an hour of him talking and me responding in anyway I can, the bell rings. Jack walks to the locker rooms as I look at my schedule. "..." I have drama next but I have no idea where the hell that place is. When Jack walks out, he is in a pair of almost black jeans, a black muscle shirt and a blue vest. He looks at me, "You look lost. Wheres your next class?" He looks at me and I show him my schedule. "Oh cool! You have drama too?" He grins and grabs my arm, "I'll walk you there."

As we walk into the drama room, I see a blonde girl with bland green eyes saying a quote from hamlet by William Shakespeare, to the drama teacher. "To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer. The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them. To die—to sleep, No more" The girl says and the teacher starts clapping, "Wow! Good job Stella! You have really advanced in your drama skills!" The teacher write something in her notebook and the girl, who the teacher called Stella, does a dramatic hair flip. "I know. But I only learned from the best." I look over at Jack, who is glaring at the girl. The girl walks over. "Jack." "Stella." They both stare each other down then Stella looks at me. "Who's this?" She watches my every movement and looks at me in such a way that makes me feel... like I did once, eleven years ago. "This is Jesse and shes a new student in our class." Jack says. "Can she talk?" Stella looks at me and I shake my head. She starts tapping her chin, "You guys stay right here. I'm gonna see what Jesse can do in this class."

Jack and I both look at each other before we both sit on the stage. "So, Jesse. You got any friends at this school?" Jack looks at me. I nod and he looks at me. "Oh! Can I see a picture of them?" He asks and I pull out my phone, and pull up a picture of me, Lukas and my brother. Jack looks at the photo. "Who is the brunette? Is that your brother?" I nod and rub my neck. "Ah. Maybe thats why I've never seen him." He says then he looks at Lukas. "So your friends with him?" He says in a disconcerting tone. I look at Jack and he puts the phone down. "I'm not gonna say anything Jesse. All I am gonna say is... Be careful around him. He doesn't have the best reputation." I raise an eyebrow. 'What is he talking about? Lukas is the sweetest person I know! Why would HE of all people have a bad reputation?' I keep thinking to myself as Stella walks over but I don't hear anything she says. All I can hear are my own thoughts and the ringing sound in my ears.
