Golden-Brook High

Jace

Taking a deep breath, he heads off, not wanting to sweat much, and sticks behind the others. The girl, Rayah, outruns all the rest, leaving Jace a little impressed.

Rayah

I watch Jace pass the finish line and I flash a smile giving him a high five. "Nice job."

Jace

He flashes a smile at her, nodding his head in thanks, and looks around, not even the slightest out of breath.

Rayah

Someone screams in my ear and I fall to the ground. I look up and see Charlie. "Hey!" He screams. I roll my eyes and stand. "I-I think you broke my ear." I said shaking my head out. I walk away, pissed and stand next to Jace.

Jace

He watches the guy scream in her ear and takes a step back, feeling as if he'd crossed a boundary or something.

Rayah

I walk away, pissed and change back into my regular clothes. Once the bell rings, I grab my bag and walk to history.

Jace

He checks his schedule and rushes to catch up with Rayah. "Hey, uh, c-can you help me here?"
He points at his next period.

Rayah

Jace runs up and stops me in my tracks. I look at his schedule. "Ha. You have all classes of mine." I smile, "Just follow me." I continue walking

Jace

He flashes a smile and walks with her to the next class.

Rayah-

We get to history late and when I open the door, he starts yelling at me. "RAYAH! Sit!!" He yells and I awkwardly sit down, opening my book.

Jace

He sits beside her, unsure of what else to do.

Rayah

The teachers head flicks to Jace. "Jace." He says. He Chuckles. "Tell us about yourself."

I look over at Jace, curiously.

Jace

He swallows, looking around. "What's there to know?"

Rayah

The teacher shrugs, "Never mind."

I sigh and turn back to the book. "Rayah." He calls me and I stand walking over to him. "Yeah?"

He hands me a detention slip and I swear walking back to my seat.

He looks at Jace. "Jace." He calls him over as well.

Jace

"Oh shit." He swears under his breath, standing and walking towards the teacher.
