The Fearless

The Geek...

"I <3 BEAUTIFUL GEEKS LIKE YOU JADE!!! :D guess who??"

That what the strip of paper read that was stuck to her locker with a piece of Scotch tape. It was written with a purple Sharpie and in very familiar handwriting.

Oh Tony Chance, you never stop trying do you...Jade thought to herself, smiling at the picture of Tony and whatever accoplice he managed to drag into his scheme, writing the message and sticking it to her dark-colored locker door.

She folded up the paper, and shoved it in her back pocket.

"That's for later." Jayden smiled to herself, and snatched her English book and her spiral bound notebook with Peeta Mellark on it and at the top was labeled "English". She slammed the locker door shut and ran down the hall, and up the stairs to the second floor of Midtown Prep.

"Ms. Carter! Please walk!" came a teacher's voice when she passes by the Algebra 2 Classroom.

"Sorry, Mr. Davids. In a bit of a hurry." Jade muttered an apology, then took off running to English class.

¶

"Miss Jayden Carter...tsk, tsk...Late. Again." Mr. Conway said, watching Jade with his blue, hawk-like eyes.

"...I'm sorry Mr. C. But I can't make any promises that it won't happen again." Jayden apologized, taking the only seat left behind the diva and one of the Reprobates' (everyone else calls them Repro's) clan leaders, Bianca Kingman. A ruthless chick with a snippy attitude. She was one for trouble, and Jade knew it. Bianca was the stereotype of one of those popular and snobby teens in the movies. She dressed like Mandi Weatherly in Mean GIrls 2, and her parents were filthy rich.

Everyone loved her parents, for they were everything Bianca was not. Mr. and Mrs. Kingman were kind, caring, humble, and selfless. Bianca was mean to anyone she considered lower than her, she was inconsiderate, cocky, and a complete egotistic. She was the embarassment of the Kingman family.

Jade sunk down in her seat, feeling Bianca's smile of mischeif glowing. Shit...I'm in trouble....Jade thought, opening her English book to page 145, ask Mr. Conway instructed.

"Remember that paper I told you to work on last week?" Mr. Conway reminded. Everyone froze up, eyes immediately on the teacher, "It's due...today."

The kids who didn't get it done had the typical looks of shock on their faces. Their jaws literally dropping to the floor, eyes extra wide, and their entire face screaming, "O MY GOD. I THOUGHT IT WAS NEXT WEEK." but then they quickly covered it up with the best emotionless face they could pull off.

Jade had hers all typed up and ready to hand in and it sat in front of her on her desk in a folder. Then, she saw Bianca reach into her bag and pull out a folder with her assignment. Oh boy...

"And...." Mr. Conway continued, "I will select certain students to read their paper to the class."

More tension.

Mr. Conway's eyes scanned the class then settled on the second row, third seat from his right.

"...Miss Kingman? Would you please read yours first?"

"Sure. Whatever." Bianca shrugged, and waltzed over to the front of the class, and read her paper.

Jade listened intently as Bianca told her bland short story about a bird, and watched as everyone slowly began to nod off to sleep. The girl smirked at this. This was te perfect humiliating moment for Bianca, and she was enjoying every single bit of it.

When Bianca finished, even the teacher was beginning to get droopy eyes.

"Thank you Miss Kingman." He muttered, and motioned for her to return to her seat. Bianca did not look so happy about the class's reation to her paper, and slumped in her chair.

"Miss Carter?"

"Yes?" Jade asked.

"You're up next." He replied.

She reached into her bag, pulled out her paper, and walked up to the front of the room nervously.

Jade cleared her throat, then looked to the back of the room and saw her friend Tony, and smiled, and he smiled back and giving her a thumbs up, boosting her confidence.Then she began to read. The short story was one about a spy and his mission. The entire class was on the edge of their seats as she read the fight scene. They all gasped in horror as the story reached it's climatic peak and left the suspense to build up until the very end. Once she was finished, every clapped, even Mr. Conway stood up and applauded in astonishment of his student's well done work. 

And there was Bianca, sulking in her misery, and envious of Jade's attention and credit. 

Jade walked back to her seat behind the fuming girl, and sighed in relief that it was over, but knew Biance was going to get her back.

 So...new story. :) please tell me if it's good or not....
