The Dark Curse

Chapter 11

Jack carefully knocked in the class door and came in the big, light classroom full of students.
As he slowly opened the door, the teacher and all the teenagers rose their curious eyes on green haired guy. Some of them were indifferent, some annoyed but this feeling of total visibility Jack hated the most. It felt like everyone were judging him just because he took their attention. Surely the student didn't care much about that, however didn't feel good anyway.

"Hello Jack, why are you late?" Ms. Brown, who was also known as Kara, asked with a careful stare at the guy.

"Good morning, I'm sorry. I just was doing the additional exercises with... Mr. Johnson." Green haired guy said unsurely, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Really?" The dark haired woman asked with a true surprise in her eyes. "Okay, take your sit. Let's see how he prepared you." She added after that.

Jack simply nodded, coming further in class and sitting near the last desk against window as he usually did.

The teacher followed him with a test, putting the paper in front of him, just like for other students. Then she went back at her own place, where could watch the whole class from a distance. "Like I said earlier, don't even try to copy. Or I'll take out your test and give the lowest grade." Kara added, speaking to everyone in total silence.

All the students just lazily gazed at young woman and reluctantly returned to their tests. It was an important exam for check every topic they learned for a few months. But unfortunately only a few people actually prepared to it.
And that kinda was unsurprisingly, because everyone knows, nobody never really learns in a high school. It's just an useless waste of time before institution.

Although as Jack glanced at his test, he understood that he could write it normally anyway. Yes, he hadn't used to do homework and rarely wrote at class. But sometimes, when he came at the lessons, he really listened to the teachers and that's why knew even a bit more than other careless students.
Also the most of questions weren't too difficult, on the contrary English was pretty easy for this guy. He knew some necessary grammar topics, so could easily answer on them.
And some other exercises, which were just impossible to understand, were simply skipped by green haired person.

Finally when the bell rang in front of Jack laid almost rightly written test. Like another students, he grabbed it and silently put on Ms. Brown's table.
Kara quickly glanced at the paper, scanning the answers and rose her glad gaze up on standing guy. "Not bad." She said with faint smile because of positive impression.

"Thank you." Jack smiled back emotionlessly. But at some reason he didn't feel good about Kara anyhow. She was activating only bad feelings of jealousy, disrespect and slight anger in this guy. Probably it happened because of Peter, or maybe there just was something wrong with Jack himself.

Anyway, he tried immediately leave the class, simply walking to his locker in the wide corridor. However a minute later guy suddenly noticed his classmate was following him on the way.

"Decided to begin learning, asshole?" The familiar girl from his class said derisively, as Jack stopped and turned around.
She kinda was cute, with wavy brown hair and bright green eyes. Her thin body was dressed up gray, short skirt and pink, long sleeved shirt. And this girl probably was the one who actually paid attention on him. Although her annoying behavior could only piss off another student.

"So what?" Jack rose an eyebrow, looking straight in the poison eyes. "Stop being bitch, that makes you uglier than you are." He added passively, but still mockingly.

"Oh my God, did you just called me ugly bitch?" The girl asked with unhappy surprise.

"Almost." Guy shrugged, opening his locker and changing some books.
