Amy couldn't believe Jonah Parker pulled her name out and now both of them were to work together. She felt the look of the other girls on her, and she knew it wasn't because they were happy for her. She was thankful none of them had laser eyes or she would be dead already, as all their looks were icy and somehow murderous.When the bell indicating the period was over she rushed to the bathroom as she just wanted to be alone to order her ideas. When she felt calmer she walked to her next class.Lunch was next and she waited patiently for Dana to arrive and tell her everything that happened. She glanced around to see if she could see her but instead her eyes found Jonah, whose eyes also saw her and approached her."Damn. " Amy whispered to herself."So, Wilkes. You and I will be partners in English class." He said leaning a hand on the desk."Yes, we are. " Amy said with a shy smile."We should exchange phone numbers since we will have to talk constantly.What's your number?" He said taki
Jonah stared at his phone expecting to see an answer from Amy, but to his disappointment it never came. He sighed, wondering what he was doing wrong since none of his moves seemed to work with her. Would she have read it already? If she would read it, he would have received a quick answer. He said to himself she was probably asleep, even though as he checked the time it was only nine o'clock. He waited thirty minutes to check if she answered but nothing. He decided he would speak to her tomorrow; it was better that way. He undressed only having his boxer on and went to sleep. Next morning Amy and Sean were having breakfast before leaving. Sean always insisted Amy had to had breakfast before going to school, he took all that stuff about being breakfast the most important meal. He prepared French toasts."Are you ready to go?" Sean said finishing his last French toast and seeing Amy was almost done. "Yeah. I need to ask you something. I have an English assignment with one of my classm
Jonah felt sorry for exploding to Amy the way he did. Last night his dad had a business dinner, and he wasn't really eager to go, but since his father insisted, he went with him to an elegant restaurant. The other men started bragging about their kids, how all of them were Harvard students being lawyers, doctors, engineers etc. However, the conversation later turned to Jonah in an unexpected way."What about you, Jonah?" A guy called Robert asked."I'm the soccer captain in my school. " He answered with a smile."And what about your grades?" another dude whose name was Bryan or Ryan asked. Jonah couldn't remember his name and he didn't really cared."I'm passing my classes. " Jonah said drinking from his water." You are not interested in a scholarship? " Steven asked."I plan on having an athletic scholarship. ""You could do such better with an academic one, you know how jocks are quite successful for a time but when they age their career is over. " Robert said.If it would have bee
As Sean drove her to school that morning Amy tried to memorize the geometry formulas she had not learned the previous night. She would repeat the formulas to herself in a low voice thinking Sean was not listening to her, however she discovered it was not that way from what he said next. "Can you chill? You're stressing me, and I'm not even the one taking that exam." He said as he stopped on a red light."I didn't learn these formulas, i' m nervous. ""Amy, you are a good student. I know you will ace that exam. There's no need to panic."She knew he was right. Her grades wouldn't be lower than a C, but she still tried to raise them, always hoping to do her besy. it frustrated her that her weaknesses were all numerical classes, as she preferred theoretical classes like Literature and History. She decided to follow his advice and calm down. Fifteen minutes later they arrived to Mackenzie North High School, and Amy unbuckled her seat belt. Sean extended his hand containing a twenty-doll
Sean decided to have Chinese food for dinner, so he drove to the restaurant they liked the most. They asked for dumplings, sour and sweet chicken, and wonton. They ate dinner and at the same time they discussed their day, it was something they always did when they lived with their parents, and somehow, they kept that tradition even though it was only the two of them now. It made them feel closer to each other." So, my students got mad at me for having them write an essay since they said there's a huge party this weekend. I told them they have to have their priorities well defined. Can you believe it?Sean was an English teacher at Western Miami University. He enjoyed his job a lot, however he would mention how troublesome his students were. Amy had a great admiration for her brother since he was hardworking and determined: Sean had fifteen years old, and she was ten when their parents died on a plane crash. They were having an important business on Boston and their presence was requi
The soccer practice ended, and the boys went to the lockers to shower and change themselves. Jonah was checking that nothing from his stuff was missing from his bag, he was very careful with his things. He checked his cellphone; his uniform and his hygiene things were all inside. He felt relieved, he trusted his friends but couldn't say the same about his other teammates. "What did Amy Wilkes want?" Danny asked putting on some deodorant. "Just wanted to thank me. For defending her today." Jonah answered drinking water. " Yeah, everyone heard what you did for her today. Are you two a thing now?" Brad Coleman mockingly asked. Brad Coleman was the previous soccer captain before Jonah came to school. Jonah was told by Danny how Brad was so arrogant and cocky, as he would act as he was the only player on the team, and would hardly even pass the ball during games. However, everything changed when Jonah entered the team, his teammates obviously preferred him since he did play with his t
"Exactly what happened at P.E class?" Sean asked after reading the information the nurse sent him.That was exactly was Amy feared that Sean would react like this, and unfortunately for her it became true. Sean was acting overprotective again. She appreciated his concern but sometimes she felt he overreacted too much. She sometimes felt like telling him to take a chill pill, but that would make anger him more."We were playing volleyball and i got hit, that's all. It's no big deal." She said shrinking her shoulders."The school nurse doesn't seem to think that way if she sent me this information. " Sean said raising an eyebrow."She's just doing her job, common Sean. Please don't make a scandal of this, it's over. ""If someone is bullying, you would tell me right?" He crossed his arms."Where is this coming from?" She asked confused."If this girl that hit you today is bullying you, I have all right to know. Is she bugging you?"Amy sighed. There was no point in lying to Sean. When s
When Amy opened her eyes she saw herself on a hospital bed. She looked around and saw no familiar faces, she closed her eyes trying to remember what happened but with no luck.She felt confused, but felt relieved when seeing Sean's face not far from there. He was talking to a doctor and as soon as he saw her he rushed to her side. The doctor came with him."Amy, how are you feeling?"Sean asked placing a hand on her head."Confused. " She answered. "Doctor, is she really ok?" Sean asked concerned. "Amy, do you remember what happened to you?" The doctor asked."Not really. ""You were on a school trip with your classmates and an accident at the lab you were visiting happened. You remember that?" The doctor asked. "I remember some stuff, like a gas coming out and everyone freaking out. " She said staring at them. "What do her test results show?" Sean asked the doctor who checked his paperwork."According to our test results,she's fine. However we would like to keep her one more night
