This is the third part...you know the part after the second part..are you = guys liking this stuff or hating it?! Shadow needs da feedback You know the drill yadda yadda..don't own this or that... oh WARNING!! There is some vile language..I should go through and delete i= t but I'm way too lazy and I have to get to Mock Train Pronto!! Chapter 3 =09=93Okay class get out some paper to take notes on=94 Mrs. Rutherford sa= id. =09Of course the class obeys and pulls out their notebooks and pencils. M= rs. Rutherford turns to the board and looks for one of her markers to find that they are not there. =09=93Megraise=94 She said in a fake annoyed tone and puts her hands on he= r hips. =09=93What?!=94 Megraise acted innocent from the back of the class. =09=93You know what=94 Mrs. Rutherford said making the class start laughin= g as she moved around the room trying to find her markers. When she moved close to the air conditioner on the far = end of the room Megraise spoke up. =09=93You=92re very warm=94 he told her right before Mrs. Rutherford spott= ed her markers and moved back to the board. =09Mrs. Rutherford proceeded to try to explain the Prof of the Law of Cosi= ne using the Pythagorean Theorem as well as a few other Trig equations. =09=93Uhhh That=92s not English=94 CK turned to Jessie saying =09=93Nope, it=92s mathematics=94 Jessie answers =93and it makes absolutel= y NO sense=94 =09=93You got that right. Good God what the hell does that say=94 CK asked= . =09Jessie cracks up laughing and Mrs. Rutherford picks up on the noise. =09=93What=92s going on back there CK?=94 she asked =09=93Well, I was just wondering if that is French, Latin, Russian, or som= ething indigenous to another planet=94 CK said =09Those in the class that understood what CK had said crack up laughing. =09=93Yeah, I know this is hard to understand just bare with me=94 Ms Ruth= erford pleads and continues to teach. =09=93I've been trying to bare with her for about three months now=94 Ambe= r whispered. =09=93HA!=94 Bonnie said =93I gave up=94 =09She waved her book over her head and then turned back to reading it. =09With about forty-five minutes left in the class Mrs. Rutherford stops w= ith the Prof and trying to explain it. Instead she gives the class some =91class work=92. =09=93Okay, anyway, its about time that we get some work done. Turn to pa= ge 363=94 =09Following a loud groan through out the class room everyone follows instructions and opens their books to find a list a theorems and equations about a mile long. =09=93Dear God, why me=94 CK screams in a loud whisper as she stares at th= e page. =09Jessie glances at her face and can't help but laugh. If there is one t= hing that CK can do, its change someone's mood. Jonny turns back when he hears Jessie giggle and sees CK making the absolute strangest face that he has ever seen. Of course he can't help but laugh as well. =09Then they get to work, copying down the equations in the section assi= gned and working out the problems assigned. Of course they work in groups, its the only way that most of th= em can get anything done. They try to finish all of their work in the minimal time that they have to finish it so they donu= t have any assignments over the weekend. Of course the class is working on =91class work=92. Meaning that they will h= ave to turn in what they are doing at the time and will be given a completely new assignment to do over the weekend but its worth = the shot. =09The class works up until the bell and then Mrs. Rutherford speaks up mo= ving to the front of the classroom. She starts writing on the board. =09=93Well, I guess that's the assignment=94 Bonnie said. =09=93Yep I guess it is=94 Jessie said. =09=93Jessie, I will talk to you later. We have to sort this out.=94 Jonn= y said =09 Jonny spoke as he rose out of his seat to leave the room. Jessie just looked at Jonny trying to figure out what to believe. She didn't even know why she cared about the whole ordeal. S= o what if Jonny wasn't coming home at night. =09As Jonny walked out of the room CK turned to Jessie. =93what was that a= ll about?=94 she asked. =09They have ten minutes to get to their next class. Their next class is = only two doors down unlike Jonny=92s which is on the entire opposite side of the campus. =09=93We're just having a misunderstanding=94 Jessie answered =09=93Oh that's all, a misunderstanding, that's why he looked like he had = just been shot a couple of times=94 CK says. =93What in the world is this misunderstanding all about?!=94 =09=93He didn't really care,=94 Jessie starts as they got up and started t= o walk out of the room, last, like always. =09=93HE DIDN=94T CARE? Where is your brain today Jess?! My God, yes he d= id care!=94 CK blurts out turning to Jessie. =93He wanted to talk to you about it, you refused him=94 =09 When she turns around she starts to walk backwards and of course doesn= 't see Kelly coming towards her. Kelly, who was talking to her friends of course didn't see CK and !SLAM! They ru= n right into each other. =09=93Hey! Watch It! What the hell is wrong with you!?=94 Kelly yells into= CK=92s face. =09Jessie stops in her tracks and glares at Kelly. =09=93Damn girl, Tick tac?=94 CK asks in the peppiest voice she can muster= =09Knowing full well that Jessie and Kelly do not get along CK tried to li= ghten the mood and succeeded. =09=93Shut-up CK=94 Kelly says as Jessie cracks up laughing. =09=93What? I was just offering you some candy. SHEESH! Sensitive little!= ?=94 CK replies. =93Oh look, reinforcements. They have to group about five brains together to bring themselves to a respectable level of intelligence.=94 CK turns to Jessie and says as a group of Kelly's =91friends=92 walk towards them. Lu= ke is with them. =09=93Do you think they can find their way to their next classes without h= elp=94 Jessie asks as the group stares at the two girls in front of them. =09=93Naaaah,=94 CK says and makes a face at the people in front of her. =09=93Hey Jessie,=94 Luke says a tosses his head back making his black hai= r flip around. =09Jessie turns her face to CK to hide her laughter and mumbles =93oh god = not now=94 =09CK starts to giggle uncontrollably as Jessie turns back around to face = the enemy. =93Hello Luke, how are you today?=94 Jessie says and it takes everything that CK has to keep her fro= m laughing. =09=93Just fine sexy, how bout=92 going to the movies with me tonight.=94 = Luke says as an order not as a question. =09=93You know Luke I think I'm busy tonight, and the night after that, an= d the one after that. You know I think I'm going to busy for the next, I donut know five years. I tell you what why donut you call me then. K?=94 Jessie says. =09Luke just stares blankly trying to look as confused as possible without getting extremely angry. This acting to be a complete moron was starting to toll on him a great deal. =09=93Well, okay, then I=92ll talk to you then=94 Luke says. =09Jessie and CK crack up laughing, they can't stifle their laughter even = the slightest bit. They laugh so hard that Jessie feels like she is about to collapse. Luke holds back his anger wit= h the thoughts in his head his only comfort. =09=93Well, I hope you=92re not waiting for Jonny,=94 Kelly says, =93I thi= nk he is more interested in me=94 =09 Jessie could hear CK cringe =09=93Kelly, who the hell cares?=94 CK said with a smirk =93and oh look we= 're all out of time and the bell is going to ring. So Jessie and I are going to class. If you need any help finding your own= ask a teacher K? Bye=94 CK and Jessie turn and walk to their next class. =09=93He's mine Jessie=94 Kelly yells after them. =09=93Oh God,=94 CK mumbles then turns her head slightly and yells back = =93Would you SHUT-UP!=94 they walk into the room and to their seats in the back. =93Jessie you didn't believe any of = that crap did you?=94 CK asks =09=93of course not,=94 Jessie mumbles =93Why would I believe her. Beside= s why should it bother me anyway=94 she says but she is worried. She feels like something is being taken away from her= , something important to her, and she doesn't like it. =09=93Um yeah, shouldn't bother you a bit, right uh hue, I'm just gonna s= tay out of it=94 CK says just as the bell rings. =09Spanish class started on, of course, a bad note. Mrs. Mcgovern was hav= ing a bad day and it seemed to be Jessie=92s turn to take the slack. About ten minutes into class Mrs. Mcgo= vern started chewing Jessie out for not being absent from school so much. The woman attack Jessie like being absent was completely her fault. No matter what Jessie tells her Mrs. McGovern doesn't seem to have any sympathy what so e= ver at all. Her rampage lasts a good fifteen minutes leaving thirty minutes left of class. Then =91crazy woman=92 move= s on to chew Jessie out for wasting her precious time. Finally after ten minutes of that Jessie is given a special assignm= ent. She has to write a five page minimum report about her latest journey. Typed and single spaced. With only twenty minu= tes left and Jessie boiling with anger Mrs. happiness turned her energy to CK. CK didn't hear a word that her teacher said. Instead of excepting the mental beating she thought about how wonderful it would be to see this woman dead with a smile. Every once in a while she says =93Yes ma'am=94 and allows her teacher to continue. =09Finally the bell rings just as Jessie is ready to lunge out of her chai= r and attack Mrs. =91I am God=92 and tear her head off. Both Jessie and CK walk out of the room and down the hall with = that woman still yelling at them both. =09=93Jessie, I swear to God in heaven, I am going to kill that woman.=94 = CK swore as they walked towards the stairs. =09=93Just tell me when and how. I=92ll be ready. How bout=92 right now?= =94 Jessie said only a little bit of sarcasm in her voice. **************************** Meanwhile at the far end of the school **************************** =09=93Mr. Quest, can you please come here for a moment=94 Mr. Conroy, Jonn= y=92s Chemistry two teacher called him to his desk. =09=93Yes, Sir=94 Jonny said. As he rose from his seat he can hear Luke m= ocking Jonny to one of his friends. Jonny managed to ignore them and continued forward. =09=93Yes, Mr. Conroy?=94 Jonny asked when he reached Mr. Conroy=92s desk. =09=93Um, yes, Jonny,=94 he started, pulling out a piece of paper with a L= ab study on it. =93You did this whole thing wrong.=94 Mr. Conroy said. =09He held the paper up to where Jonny could see it clearly. The name on = the top was his but the handwriting didn't even begin to resemble his own. =09=93Mr. Conroy, this is not my paper=94 Jonny said without a second thou= ght. =09He knew that no matter what he said he would end up being forced to do = the assignment over again. Not that Mr. Conroy is mean, of a bad teacher, as a matter of fact Mr. Conroy has always been Jonny=92s favorite teacher but rules are rules. Mr. Conroy could not let the assignment slide for Jonny even i= f he knows that Jonny did the assignment and did it correctly =09=93Did you do the assignment?=94 Mr. Conroy had asked =09=93Yes, I did=94 Jonny answered honestly, =93And I did it correctly=94 =09=93Well this is the only one I have with your name on it=94 Mr. Conroy = answered,=94 But if you have done the Lab then you can stay during lunch and redo it just as quickly Okay?=94 =09=93But, I,=94 Jonny started to object he really needed to talk to Jessi= e. The stupid rumors about him and that Kelly girl are escalating but then he reconsiders. =09=93Sure Mr. Conroy. Works for me.=94 Jonny said and turned to go back= to his seat. =09=93How=92d you do on your Lab Jonny boy?=94 Luke asked in a truly obnox= ious voice when Jonny made it back to his seat. =09=93And why do you care?=94 Jonny =91answered=92 back in an equally anno= yed voice. =09=93I was just wondering about whiteout and all the great things that it= can do.=94 Luke says as he put his paper down in front of Jonny on his desk. =93 I think this use to be yours=94 =09Jonny looked at the paper to see his own work, on his own Lab sheet, fr= om his own Lab workbook, but with a different name on the top. =09=93You son of a bitch=94 Jonny says but he holds back from knocking Luk= e flat on his back. =09=93Hey, I was just borrowing it. What do you think about me borrowing = Jessie for a while huh? After she finds out what you and Kelly have done I'm sure she=92s gonna want someone to be the= re for-=94 =09=93Don't you go anywhere near her. If you touch her, I swear to God=94 = Jonny said, =93and you better stop this bull about me and Kelly. I wouldn't touch that slut if my life depended on it.= =94 Jonny said starting to get more and more irritated. He really wanted to rip Luke apart but he didn't want to get kicked out. Violence doesn't win anything besides something more than just silly rumors was upsetting Jessie. =09=93Hey, Jonny, can you help me with this?=94 Brandon called from a coup= le of rows over when he could see the two enemies preparing for battle. =93I cant figure out this electron balance = thing=94 he continued this time getting Jonny=92s full attention. =09=93Sure Brandon I=92ll be right there,=94 Jonny called. =09=93Jonny, you don't stand a chance boy=94 Luke said as Jonny turned and= walked away ignoring everything that Luke was saying. =09Jonny helped Brandon balance a few equations and figure out some weird electron paths. =09=93Brandon, can you give a note to Jessie for me?=94 Jonny asks =09=93Of course=94 Brandon said, =93It=92s the least I can do=94 He answer= ed with a smile. =09=93Okay, hold on we have 15 minutes left. I=92ll write it.=94 Jonny s= ays as he digs through his bag a pulls out a clean piece of paper and a pen. =09Jessie, hey I just wanted to tell you - =09=93Dear God Jonny!=94 Brandon said looking down at the scratches that J= onny was putting on the paper =93No one on this earth could decipher what that is supposed to say! At least right it somewhat legible!=94 =09=93Okay, Okay, sorry. Lets try this again=94 Jonny said pulling out a = new piece of paper. =09Jessie, Hey, I'm sorry, I wish that I could talk to you in person but something ha= s happened in Chemistry to keep me here. I wish that you would tell me what is going on. Are you mad about those stupid rumors about *shiver* Kelly? Jess, you KNOW that I would never have anything to do with her. H= ow on earth could you every even begin to believe that crap? You're upset about something completely diffe= rent I can tell. I know you better than I know myself and I refuse to lose you over anything. Please talk to= me. =09 =09 =09Jonny paused for a minute unable to compose what he wanted to write nex= t. He wasn't sure if he had expressed his opinion about Kelly with enough power. He wanted to talk to her in pe= rson so bad that he was less than a thought away from receiving a zero on his LAB and running to find her. =09=93Jonny the bell is going to ring,=94 Brandon pleaded, =93and I think = she will get the point about Kelly=94 =09=93Yeah, okay let me finish=94 Jonny said Be good Ace, I=92ll talk to you later, and this crap about me not liking y= ou... there is no one else in the world that I would rather be with than you K? =09=09=09=09=09 ----- =09=93Write =91love=92 or I will be forced to kill you Jonathan=94 Brando= n threatened =09Without a word as the bell rings Jonny wrote down his closing =09=09=09=09=09Love you lots =09=09=09=09=09=09=09Jonny =09=93Thank you,=94 Brandon said =09He snatched the letter away before Jonny could think about changing any= thing that he had written down. Brandon has known Jonny for some time now he knows that Jonny has a type A personality and is a perfectionist as well. If he would have allowed Jonny to look over the note even for a moment the= re is no telling how long it would take for Brandon to get out of the room. =09=93I=92ll see you in English. Have fun!=94 Brandon yelled as he left th= e room. =09=93Sure okay=92 Jonny said =09He turned to the work that must get done mumbling =09=93Yeah, fun=94 *********************** =09Brandon walked out into the hall and placed the note in his right breas= t pocket. Luke had seemed extremely irritated when Brandon had broken up the fight between Luke and Jonny. Lu= ke had been acting very strange during the past year. Of course he had always been a bully but something was slowly becoming more and more strange about him as the year had moved on. =09Luke had never been a very good student but he had always been a good p= erson and very popular. In a matter of a year he had become the class male slut as well as a person that loved starting fights. His grades starting going and not because of cheating. Something very wrong was going on and only one person had noticed. =09Suddenly out of nowhere Luke is standing directly infront of Brandon fo= rcing him to the ground with a crash. =09=93Oh, I'm sorry Brandon let me help you up there=94 Luke said =09He grabbed the back of Brandon=92s shirt and yanked him to his feet. =09=93That was really stupid calling Jonny boy over to you desk, real stup= id=94 he said =09Luke stopped talking when he noticed the neatly folded paper in Brando= n=92s pocket. =09=93Now, what do we have here?=94 Luke said. =09=93Luke, I don't know what has gotten into you but we've always been fr= iends=94 Brandon said =93Why are you doing acting this way?=94 =09=93There's a lot you and the rest of this stupid town doesn't know abou= t me and well, its about time I show this place what I'm worth=94 Luke hissed. ********************** =09=93Jessie, you really should talk to him about this instead of just usi= ng the silent treatment=94 CK told her friend =09They walked together towards the cafeteria in a regular speed stride. =09=93What is there to talk about. Who cares if he likes Kelly=94 Jessie = answered cringing as she talked. =09=93Jessie don't give me that crap! You care and you know it!=94 CK sai= d astonished that her friend has refused to stop being stubborn for just one minute. =93You know what I think?=94 =09=93What?=94 Jessie asked a little annoyed. =09=93This Kelly thing isn't what is bothering you is it?=94 CK asked =09=93Yeah well-=94 Jessie started but is cut off by Katie Volts shrill ye= t incredibly cute cries. =09=93CK! JESSIE!=94 She cried =09Katie ran towards them with a big grin stretched across her face. The = young lady barely reaches 5 foot four inches and is the definition of tiny. =09 There are two types of punks. The majority of them are EXTREMELY nice= and most of the time VERY smart. Then the minority of them are mean vicious creeps but those are really har= d to come bye. Katie, of course is one of the nice smart ones. She quickly approaches Jessie and CK and hugs them both.= =09=93I like blue.=94 CK said referring to Katie's hair color. =09=93Yeah, it really brings out your, um, your hair=94 Jessie added refer= ring to the fact that it is pretty hard to miss. =09=93Really?! Thanks!=94 Katie said, =93Where's JQ?=94 =09=93You mean he's not here yet?=94 Jessie asked =09=93No, I have seen him yet.=94 Katie answered =09=93Neither have I=94 Grady chimed in as the three reach their meeting t= able. =09Every day this group of friends meets at the table in located at the = far right corner of the lunch room. During the spring and summer months that the group is at school they like to go outside and be isolated. Rather than sit around in the stuffy lunch room, these people like to be outside where at least t= hey can hear themselves think to a certain extent. =09Grady smiled down at the bunch. He is taller than everyone in their li= ttle group besides Bo who was standing on the other side of the table. Grady was wearing silver round rim glasses. Remember the hairdo that Danny has in Grease? Well, that's Grady, the man from the past, sings Jonny Cash and B= uddy Holly with the sound of folk music on his guitar. ( and this is a real person! He's my friend!!!!).! =09=93You know CK we have a vocab quiz today,=94 BO said smiling across th= e table =09Amanda made her way from the lunch line carrying a sandwich and a bag o= f chips. Her dark reddish black hair is pulled up in a Celtic like hair clip. When she smiles you could swear she= is devising some fantastic plan to destroy the world. Shane was right behind her with his headphones on, his hair spiked= , and of course wearing his patch covered black leather jacket. =09=93Darn the luck darn,=94 CK said imitating The Huntsman from Freakazoi= d. =09=93Hey, has anyone seen Brandon?=94 Cassandra another addition to the o= utside lunch crew asked as she approached the group. =09=93CASS!=94 Katie yelped =09This time Katie's cry was joined by CK=92s. =09=93WE haven't seen him,=94 Katie said =09=93Have you seen Jonny=94 CK asked =09=93Nope, Notta, I have seen not a one.=94 Cass answered. =09=93Hey, guys=94 Mindy said. =09She had approached the group from the back and had managed to scare mos= t of the people standing there. =09=93Hey MINDY!=94 CK yelped They had both been literately raised by Mind= y=92s grandparents from birth. They had been through just about everything together, from digging to find Princess Lea = in the backyard to throwing Frisbees at CK=92s little brother. =09=93You know what we have to do today?=94 CK asked Mindy =09=93Oh Dear, what?=94 Mindy asked cautiously. =09=93Vocab quiz=94 Jessie answered. =09=93Well, I guess I'm sitting with you guys today. Grady I see you have= your guitar=94 Mindy pointed out =09=93Well, thanks for noticen=92 you pretty cat you=94 Grady answered =09=93You are now obligated to play music for us=94 Jessie added =09=93Well alright then lets head out. I think we have everyone that is c= oming=94 Grady said. =09=93Jonny will find us,=94 Katie said, =93 He knows where to look and I'= m sure that Brandon will be along soon enough=94 =09With this the group started their journey through the commons and towar= ds the outside world. *************** =09Like lightening four other guys, not including Luke, are surrounding Br= andon. =09=93Guys, look, I don't want any trouble=94 Brandon said as the five you= ng men prep to beat the crap out of him. =93Jessie doesn't have to know about the note and you can keep it, I don't= even know what it says.=94 =09=93You know what Mr. President *note**Brandon was elected as the class President** I don't give a *&^% what you do. I'm set on beating the fool out of little JQ. =09=93Hey, I thought nobody was supposed to know about that Luke=94 one of= them said. =09Luke turns to look at the kid that spoke with the most disgusted face possible. =09=93You, are the stupidest piece of --why do I put up with this crap=94 = Luke said =09=93Because we're your friends=94 another says. =09Luke cant hold back his disgust any further. =09=93Alright, that's it=94 Luke said. =93Why don't all four of you go fin= d a gun and shoot yourselves=94 =09They just stare confused =09=93Get the hell away from me!!!!!!!!! God damn mother-=94 Luke yells. =09The four morons take off running with Luke=92s threat. =09=93Now, where was I=94 Luke said turning back to Brandon. =93You know w= hat, I don't like you. Not one bit=94 =09=93What has happened to you Luke?=94 Brandon asked with a tremble. =93W= ho are you?=94 =09A grin formed across Luke's pale face as his eyes started turning red w= ith rage. =09=93Luke, is dead. The little sh*t has been dead for over a year now=94= he said. =09=93What are you talking about?=94 Brandon half yelped. =09=93You and the people like you are such extreme fools=94 Luke adds. =09Luke's eye lids thin as the corners of his mouth turn upwards sly as a snake=92s tail. Before Brandon can take a final breath Luke had long sense taken his left hand against the left side= of Brandon=92s head, his right hand against the lower right portion of Brandon=92s jaw, and turned in a quick sharp motion extending his right arm completely through with the cracking sound of Brandon=92s neck, spinal cord, and wind pipe. =09Luke disgaurds the body in a closet in the new wing to take care of aft= er school. =09=93And now for the Guardian=94 he mumbles **************************************************************************= **** **************** that's it for today!
