So, I deleted my first DaJatherine chapter because I hated it with my entire being, so I made this one. (Also, actual chapter 50)
——————————————————————

Jack has a crush.

No, it's not not normal for Jack to have one—he has a new one every week—but this one was different.

She was just so...her. There was no way Jack could stop thinking about her. The way she walked quickly, the way she spoke firm and direct, the way she was always so polite to people, even if they were rude.

So, no, there was no way Jack could stop thinking about her.

Or staring at her as she presented the project.

"And that is why", Katherine concluded, scanning the other student's bored eyes, "we need to stop wasting paper."

The class clapped, Jack being the loudest of them all. Katherine smiled and gave a small bow.

"Thank you, Katherine", Mr. Denton smiled, looking at the rest of the students. "Now, up next-"

Katherine walked back to sit next to Jack, looking at him amusedly. "What?"

"Marry me", Jack breathed, staring with a love sick look on his face.

Kath chuckled and pulled Jack's hat on his eyes. "Now way, Romeo."

"Hey", Jack whined, putting his head in his hands as he fiddled with his pencil. "Don't compare me to Romeo The Fiend."

"Oh, what", Katherine chuckled, grabbing a piece of lined paper from her back pack. Jack thanked her and began to draw. "He's got a new nickname now?"

"Y'know what, yeah", Jack looked up from the paper, staring at the front of the class. "Yeah, he does. I'm gonna tell the boys."

Katherine giggled and placed a hand on Jack's. "Maybe wait until lunch, huh? I'd rather not have to switch seats again."

Jack looked at his hand and back at Katherine, blushing as he nodded and words failed him.

"Okay", Katherine laughed, letting go. She looked at the door as the bell rang and collected her supplies.

"See you in Journalism?" Kath smiled, walking away from her desk and Jack.

He sat in his chair, the blood still furious on his face. He looked at the digital clock in the classroom and felt his eyes widen.

"Crap", he whispers, grabbing his bag hastily. "I'm gonna be late!"

He ran out of the classroom, groaning when the bell rang again.

Jack sat in the empty classroom he was always in during seventh period, doing the same thing he always did in this empty classroom during seventh period.

Secretly staring at Katherine from the back of the room as she sat with Davey and Sarah.

"Dude", Race starts, looking in the same direction, "just tell her."

Jack rolled his eyes, looking at Race. "No way."

"Oh my gosh", Finch groans, rubbing a hand down his face. "This routine is getting tiring! We all see you staring at her everyday, all heart eyes and love sick, but you never do anything about it!"

"Like you guys are one to talk!" Jack scoffed and crossed his arms. "You guys do the same thing anytime you see Davey and Sarah."

"Sure", Race shrugged. "But you know the difference between us and you?"
