The rest of the day was the pits. In homeroom we were to annoyed to speak to each other. We had never fought like this...actually come to think of it we had never EVEN fought. EVER! But that didnt stop us from giving each other the cold shoulder. What had happened to him? The sudden beauty and majestic movements...it wasnt him at all. Also this intimidating aura had seemed to materialize around him. As if it were diclaring that he was royalty...Monarchy in the flesh...well not only flesh but in MY BEST FRIEND!
As i walked to my locker at the end of the day i over heard something. Something that might have been important.
"Yeah, Jace just got a new job up at the ski hill." said a tenth grader. Jace was that vegetable on the bus this morning...well he wasnt ALWAYS a vegetable. Only today for some reason.
"Didnt he already work up there?" Another guy asked.
"Yeah but he just got promoted to Ski Patrol." Replied the first tenth gr.
Thats when i remembered. I remembered that Jack had applied for Ski Patrol to.
And now he was just like the employees of the ski hill.
"I think i should look into this" i mumbled under my breathe.
"Look into what?" A familiar voice whispered in my ear. I whirled around and was face to face (or face to chest) with Jack.
"N-nothing" I stammered. And how could he sneak up on my now? I was really getting agravated about all this.
"Really. What is it?" He asked again.
"Nothing!" I snapped. God he was persistent.
"Are you still mad about this morning? It was nothing. I mean" Then i cut him off
"Well if you really want to know...I was just thinking about the ski hill." i said trying to act casual about it. Instantly i could tell his guard was up. His body tensed and his eyes adopted an uneasy distrustful glare.
"What about it?" He said in a rudish manner.
"Oh nothing. Just about your job. Did you make the cut?" I asked callously.
He smirked as if i had made a joke and chuckled. "Oh, you have no idea." he said.
Wow. did that just sound menacing? or is it just me? "Im patrolling the summit lift." he added briefly.
"Oh cool..."I trailed off, wondering how to phrase my next sentence. "Theres something else ive been thinking about...about the ski hill." Again Jack looked wary.
"Uh huh?" He coaxed.
"Am i the only one whos noticed something strange about the employees? How come they look so." Then it was his turn to cut me off.
"Dont." He warned.
"But seriously. Look at Jace. He was the most atheletic kid in the school and now hes a vegetable. At recess i notice half his bone structure has changed since THIS MORNING!!!!" I was almost yelling at him now.
"Leave it alone." He warned again.
"No! You cant stop me by saying Leave it. Im not a DOG!" Now i realy was yelling. A few people stopped to stare at us and my face was turning pink. Out of anger or humiliation im not quite sure...
"Its for your own Safety now Quit it!" He yelled back.
"Fine." I dismissed the topic and turned to head home, my locker forgotten. I was so frustrated with him that my eyes were watering and i could barely see.
When i brushed them away with my sleeve a whisper came in my ear.
"See you tommorrow."
I spun on my heal to slap him...but the hall was empty.
"Strange." I muttered. When i got home i flipped open my laptop. My MSN beeped as i signed in. As i opened the MSN window i blocked " Jackx129 "
