Power

Chapter 1

I pull my earbud out of my ear to listen to whoever was talking to me in class. I find that it was Ms. Stuart. Ugh. She is giving me a glare as a frown is found on her huge trout lips.

I look up at her with my pale blue eyes and smile. "Yes, Ms. Stuart?"

She sends me a harsher glare - if that is even possible - and slams her hands down on her desk in anger over the fact that no one ever pays attention in class. "Get those damn pieces of plastic out of your ears and quit listening to the satanic emo music that all of you little brats listen to and participate in class for once!"

I sigh and put the black plastic with speakers in my slightly tattered backpack. Learning about themes in literature is so painstakingly horrible since class is an hour and a half long and this is all she will be explaining for the entire time.

I never expected to loathe English so much until I met Ms. Stuart. It may seem impossible but I hate it more each and every day I sit in this seat that she made me sit in. She moved me from the back and pulled me up to the front because I put my head on my desk for a few seconds to try and calm a headache I had.

So basically she is the teacher that no one likes and everyone always tries to transfer out of her class at the beginning of the year. Once the bell rang I grabbed my bag and notebook and pencil and dashed out of the room.

Emery, my best friend, stops by me and leans against the locker next to mine. She has a bright smile and it reaches her sparkling brown eyes nicely. "Hey, Jess! How have you been? Anything new happen?"

She always was so kind and gorgeous. She is also intelligent and all together the perfect girl/human. You can count on her for anything too.

I grin at her bubbly personality. "I'm doing fine, Em. How about you?" I question as I pull out my Geometry and Spanish books for my next classes.

She grinned and looked like she was on cloud nine. I chuckle at her since it probably has something to do with her crush that is an adorable nerd named Brandon.

"Brandon asked me to meet him in the library to go over his poem for Honors English and a few notes for Chemistry," Emery replied with pink slowly fading onto her cheeks.

I smiled wide because my best friend is so adorable. Her bottom lip is being tugged at by her teeth from slight nervousness while I close my locker and turn to her. I give her a big hug and pull away, resting my free hand on her shoulder.

"I shipped you two so hard from the start. Hashtag Emeron!" I inform her of their ship name with joy.

She chuckled, "Well I will definitely remember this when we get married."

"I love how you believe it along with me. But remember, if he hurts you in any way when he finally asks you out; I will drag him by his balls with my claws to-"

Emery has a horrified look on her face as she cuts me off. "Jessalynn!" She gasps, hand flying up and smacking my arm lightly. She chuckles in amusement at my threat.

"Just sayin'." I say as I shrug my shoulders.

The bell rang as a warning for us to start getting to class soon or we'll be tardy. Emery and I say our goodbyes and go our separate ways until fourth hour. Which is our final hour - except for study hall. Fourth hour which is Spanish. Tomorrow we have Chemistry together and Culinary Arts.

Fourth hour finally came and I walk into the classroom to find my best friend in her seat before I get here like always since her last class is closer than mine is. Mr. Janzen is sitting in his desk, playing music softly. The words being in Spanish of course.
