Jacob's Pov
I smiled as I stared at the ceiling, I had counted the number of tiny bulbs in my room and I was doing it again.
Why?
I've been thinking about her since I got home.
Mallory!
Mallory!
My heart sang peacefully.
"My wonder woman!" I muttered and my heart suddenly felt peaceful.
I have never felt this way in ages.
I have to see Mallory again.
I must see her again.
………………………………
I got down from my car and the rest got down from theirs, we just happen to come to school at the same time.
"Its the JARS!" The girls squealed as they gazed at us.
They were even drooling!
I'm used to all these attention!
I know I'm really hot!
I pulled my coat closer to myself and I went into the school, with the guys behind me. I walked over to the girls, patted a few on the cheeks, I saw pink spots appear on their cheeks, I grinned before I saw vicious Mal walking like she had no care in the world.
"Hey, you!" I called and she stopped.
She turned to face me with a very devilish smile on her face.
"What is it?"
I removed my backpack-which was really light- and I stretched it to her. The girls in front of me cleared off as they looked at both of us.
"The bag is really heavy and I feel my back's gonna break anytime soon............"
"So, what should I do about it?" She interrupted.
"Carry this!"
She bursted into laughter.
"You say what, Jacob?" She asked as she came closer to me.
She glared hard at me.
"I think you heard me."
She stomped on my feet and I screamed.
Again?
I thought I've had enough of this.
She's got twice the strength of a man!
How can a girl step me so hard?
"I am slave to no one in this school, Canavesi." She said calmly.
None of my friends came to my aid and they call themselves my friends?
So annoying!
Really annoying!
She turned to walk away.
"I will make you serve me tea every morning."
"Who cares, Jacob?" She shrugged. "Be prepared to take my saliva with your tea."
Eeeeeeew!
She can't do that, right?
She went off without looking back.
What is it about this girl?
What is so special about her?
She fears no one and she looks like she has nothing to be worried about, what is it about her?
I'm gonna bring her down way below me.
She has to fear me.

(Go back there and save him!")
I shrugged.
He is a jerk, I can't possible do that
(If anything happens to him, it is your fault."
Just go back to wherever you came from.
I spoke to my mind as I rolled my eyes.
Fine!
I'm gonna do it.
Then, I saw it.
Someone was about to throw a flower pot down from the fifth story and Jacob was about to move under it. The person released the pot and I concentrated so hard, my head began to hurt.
I shifted the pot by four inches and it landed beside him, instead of landing on his head.
He looked taken aback because he stopped.
He looked up and I also looked up, the person had vanished.
Who was that?
He shrugged and he walked away.
Did he just walk away without getting to the bottom of this?
What if it had landed on his head and he had died?
This guy is really weird but why do I even care?
Its not my business but he is actually oblivious to the fact that I just saved his life.
Well, whatever!
I spotted Kacie and I waved. She came over to me and we hugged each other.
"Morning, K."
"Morning, sup......."
"Shhhhhh." I covered her mouth and she bit my palm.
"Ouch!" I snatched them away immediately. "Did you have to do that?"
"What?" She feigned ignorance and I groaned.
"You know what? Whatever. You've been skipping school, I hope you are okay?"
"I don't know, Mal." Her shoulders dropped. "Dad is at it again and I may not be able to graduate with you." She pouted. "Even if I leave Jewels High, I will always love you wherever I find myself."
"You sound weird, the love part, it is really weird coming from your mouth." I said before running into the hallway.
I knew she was coming after me.
I heard running footsteps behind me and I was not surprised.
''''''''LUNCH BREAK''''''''''
I stood in front of a teacher as he gave out instructions to a group of students. He finished with them and he faced me.
"An order from Principal Pearl, you are to take lunch to the JARS kids everyday in their private classroom."
What the hell?
I held myself from yelling.
"I'm a slave to no one in this school."
Mr Gold looked at me.
"Tell that to Principal Pearl, not me. Your duty starts now."
He went back to the novel he was reading and I went out of the staffroom sadly.
Mr Gold does not like me because I'm responsible for the slight disfigure of his nose.
I had showed him a bit of my real self when I was In Eight grade.
He tried to implicate me and he ended up with a broken nose.
I chuckled as I remembered that moment.
I went into the cafeteria , ready to start my supposed duty. Should I just pour my saliva like I promised earlier?
No!
Arthur, Ray and Scott are not like that.
Someone pulled my hair gently from behind and I turned to snarl at the person, I don't joke with my precious hair, it turned out to be Kacie.
"You know I don't joke with this baby, right?" I pointed to my hair and she bowed.
"I'm sorry ma'am, I just love the colour of your baby."
I laughed as she straightened.
"Seriously?"
"You know I don't mean it! It looks like fire!"
"Will you guys stop calling it that? That's not even my problem, right now."
"You have a problem, hit me."

"Did you guys see what happened outside?" I asked.
"Between you and Mallory?" Ray asked.
"Of course not, something else happened."
"Like what?" They asked at once and I slapped my head.
"Never mind, its nothing."
The person couldn't have killed me.
He or she missed.
I'm really lucky.
I've got tons of luck!
"Jake, don't you think you went too far?"
"With what?"
"Mallory." Scott replied.
"What about her?" Arthur asked.
"Hold it, dude. I ain't talking to you."
With that, my ears became sensitive.
This is the most annoying side to Scott and I really hate it. He has not brought it out for a while now, so, why now? Because of Mallory?
"Mind the way you treat her, man. She is also a girl, respect her."
Respect my foot!"
A knock.
"Come in." He replied sweetly as the frown on his face vanished.
Instead, his face lit up with happiness.

Mallory's Pov
Wow!
This is the first time someone is rooting up for me, except my brothers and of course, Kacie.
It is so good to be true.
I heard all of their conversation, thanks to my gift.
I thought he was not bothered by it.
I opened the door and we went in.
I walked into the classroom, pushing the serving table and I stood rooted to a spot.
Oh my goodness!
This is wealth in the real sense!
I took in the elegance of the classroom and my mouth parted in total shock.
Kacie also had a look of shock on her face.
With my mouth still opened, I saw the JARS shouting and telling me to cover something.
They didn't say anything or maybe I didn't hear them.
They were just doing something with their hands.
I looked away from them and I took in my environment once more.
The neatly adorned royal-like chairs!
The fine multi-coloured drapes!
The paintings on the wall!
The way they sat like princes!
Their tables and chairs were on a single column. The tables were joined together but the chairs were not.
The walls were painted in white, total white and the chandeliers casted a golden light upon the classroom.
Wow!
This is just too awesome!
The air-con was just too cool.
After looking to my satisfaction, I closed my mouth and I heard Jacob's voice,
"It dropped at last, vicious Mal." He said as he glared hard at me, I took few steps backwards.
Okay, I swallowed hard.
What dropped?
