Only Fools...

'Tell me about the boy' - Chapter Five

"Excellent Jess, now all your fellow students know more about you. Perfect." Miss Bond congratulated me on my honesty.

For the rest of the lesson we did some Workshop stuff to drop us in slowly. There was a really good improvisation game we played called Freeze; a pair would be in the centre and then other people 'froze' themselves in to join the scene. We also did some weird catching game, not really sure how that one was relevant to Drama. So all in all I had a really good time, it was nice that even though these people knew about Mum, they weren't treating me any differently because of it.

It's the end of the day and I'm chilling in the room waiting for Rachel. I know that I'm going to be the victim of a lot of questions so I'm getting ready.

"Jessie!" Bang on cue, Rachel dances through the door. "How has your first day been, I feel like I haven't seen you since drama."

"That's because you haven't seen my since drama, you idiot!" I laughed. "It's been really good, I've met loads of really nice people and things are going well."

"Any of the dorm girls in your lessons?" Rachel probed.

"Yeah, Ruth was in my History class and I sit next to Katie in physics, they're both really nice."

"Yeah, they're lovely girls." All of a sudden Rachel bounced next to me, her face just inches away from mine. "Jess, don't delay any longer. Tell me about the boy." Crap.

"Who Danny?" Please say no, please say no, please day n-

"Of course Danny!" Double crap. Here we go.

"What do you want to know?" I asked.

"How you know him, what lessons he has with you, is he hot, if yes how hot? I think that's it for now."

"Okay," I took a deep breath. "He used to go out with my best friend, just maths, yes, very." From the look of joy on Rachel's face, you'd have thought she'd just won an Oscar.

"That hot?" I nodded meekly. "Okay Jess, describe him to me."

"Okay," I started. "You know that film 'John Tucker must die'? And there's the guy John Tucker-"

"Please say you're kidding Jess! John Tuck-"

"Rachel let me finish!" I interrupted. "He looks a little bit like him. I mean, he has this floppy brown hair and the darkest eyes. He's also kind of buff and he looks really good in tight clothes," I was getting off track. "So yeah, he's hot but aren't a lot of guys really?"

"No Jess." Rachel 'reassured' me. "Not a lot of guys are hot. Okay, next question; Why did he stop going out with your best friend?"

"He cheated on her." Should I really have told her that? Oh well, she would've had to find out sooner or later.

"Woah." Rachel gasped. "He's an utter bad boy; I can see why you like him." Rachel winked.

"Rach!" I screeched. "I don't like him, end of story."

"Who did he cheat with?" Rachel queried

"We never found out, he told Amy himself; guess he felt guilty or something."

"Awww," Rachel cooed. "That is so adorable."

"Rach, is your head screwed on properly? He feels bad for cheating, he didn't just save the rainforest!" I reminded her.

"But still, it's kind of cute." I stared at her, bewildered.

"Hey Rach, what time do we need to get up tomorrow?" I asked, changing the subject.

"For what?"

"For the off-timetable day!" How could she forget?

The off-timetable day is a day where years twelve and thirteen have a social to help us to get to know each other. I'm not really sure what it will consist of but I really want to make a good first impression.

"Oh right, about eightish."

"Cool, make sure we do; we don't want to be late again!" I laughed.

Bring on tomorrow; I can't wait.

So what do you think's going to happen at the off-timtable day? And what are you thinking about Danny and Jess at the moment now we know a bit more about them? Can't wait for you to read the next chapter! A few of you have been wondering if there'll be any 'bad-people' in the book as it's a bit 'unrealistic' if everyone's nice and I think you'll be satisfied with a certain character in the next chapter. Also we find out a little bit more about Matthew which all of you Matthew/Jess shippers will love!

This chapter is dedicated to Reekles because I read her book on here and it's what inspired me to start uploading 'Only Fools...' onto Wattpad. So please can everyone read her book 'Rolling Dice' because I'm loving it at the moment!

ALSO THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!! Okay, not that important but I doubt anyone's reading this after the really long message, but I'm going to upload the CAST on the next chapter so if you have any ideas then let me know!! Remember they have to be British, or have really good British accents. And Matthew and Danny have to be hot!!! Okay that's all, don't forget to vote, comment, tell your friends, whatever! :) ~LunaCresta
