"Okay class today we have two new students joining us today" its been so long since I've been at school and it was just as awkward as before, but this teacher had me standing at the front of the room where everyone could see me "now why don't you two introduce yourselves to the class, it is the middle of the school year so maybe you could tell us why you came so late" the teacher seemed to be a meddler which was going to be annoying, though despite that she seemed to be very pretty for a teacher, her blond curls held back into a pony tail that bounced as she moved, if I was into girls shed be one to peek my interest, she wore glasses that were very strange, they were lepod print but the orange was replaced with pink and they sat at the edge of her nose as if they were just meer decoration and not used to see or read.

.

My attention was drawn away from the teacher, Jack had been poking me "ah Sam what do we do" Jack asks in a confused tone as he looks back at the class that was silent and not very interested in us or what the teacher was saying.

"Sam would you like to start off?" the teacher said, probably saw that just like her class we too were not paying her much attention.

"umm okay" I could feel my heart in my throat, it was hard to breath, I really hated talking in front of groups and even though they didn't look at me except for a sparce few at the back who seemed to be bord with everything else in the class that they had to watch which made me catch my words "I'm Sa- Sam and – and umm" I was making a fool of myself, I could feel my face burn as everyone in the class started to pay attention to me, each one finding interest in me making a fool of myself.

I felt someone grab my hand and I instinctively squeezed it and that's when I heared it, Jack had been whispering something to me, I was so focused on the looks of my classmates I blocked him out, I glanced at him as if I needed to pay all my attention towards him to listen to what he was saying but he was muttering something in a language I've never heard before and as he muttered I could feel all my nerves fade away

"umm sorry my name is Sam Heathcliff" my voice was filed with such confidence it seemed almost alien to me "I haven't attended school for a few years as I had to take care of my brother but now I am able to come back and lucky for me my own studies have allowed me to come back in my correct year" I would of kept talking and saying things I wish I didn't like how I had dropped out but I fell silent as Jack's hand slipped from mine, a slide smile on his face as if he won a bet I didn't know we had.

Jack gave me a wink as he stepped in front of me drawing the attention from me to himself "well I don't think its worth telling you my name but it is Jack Reaper, I have never attended a school in my immortal life and would rather not be here but as I need to fit in I will attend but I do not plan to interact with any of you, if you need to speak to me Sam will be more than happy to relay the info to me"

the silence that filled the room was suffocating, if I thought I embarrassed myself Jack surly did embarrassed himself with that little speech but even though his hand was still holding mine now and everyone was looking at me and him holding hands my face was definatly flushed and I was definatly going to punch him later for this ass hatery of his, but my heart wouldn't stop beating fast and it sped up when Jack squeezed it before letting it go, my heart felt heavy once he did, I wont fall for him, he's an ass.

"well nice to meet you both" the teacher said braking the silance "you two can take your seats, we'll be starting with maths now" I could feel the pity she felt towards me, she probably thought we were together and with how Jack behaved, hell anyone would feel sorry for someone who had Jacks attention, I surly would and everyone thought we were.

Class was a bit hard to understand, it's been a while since I last took a math class and going straight back into was a bit of a challenge but with helping Lucas with his homework I wasn't completely lost thankfully, Jack however seemed to be struggling a lot with the work, at one point he got into an argument with the teacher about how maths wasn't a useful subject when all he needed was power and something to kill. If he wasn't already on someone's radar that comment would probably get him a visit to the schools councillor.

"Sam?" I was brought back from my thoughts by Lucy who had sat down next to me at some point "you okay? Mr head in the clouds" she was worried, it has probably gotten around school about the two new students who seemed to be lovers and one was very standoffish.

"he's a human, you lot get distracted easily" Jack added in before I could respond to her ponder, he was sitting on the other side of me, he was eating a burger, I don't know where he got it, but I didn't relise he decided to sit next to me either and now that I thought about it he was right next to me our legs were touching and his shoulder was now brushed up against mine "though anyone would be like that after what you bugs call math, torture is more like it"

"with that Jack I can agree with you, not the calling us bugs though" Lucy and Jack seemed to be getting chummy with each other now, which is better then their standoff behaviour that's been going on all day "anyway Sam I heard some fun rumers about you and Jack today".

Well I was right in just one lesion she has already heared about it "and what did they say about me and him" it was better to hear it now and be ready for questions then be caught off guard, last time rumours went on about me they weren't wrong but normally teachers don't do that with students "it can't be worse than when I was in middle school".

"Sam those weren't rumours you were taken advantage of" Lucy always hated the way I was back then, she worried about me but when she found out just who I slept with to get by she was less worried and more raging mother "either way they say that you and Jack are dating from the way he held you in front of the class as you got all nervous, which is hard to believe, you aren't nervous just a bit performance shy"

"held him? I just held his hand so I could cast a spell of courage without anyone noticing" I looked at Jack, so that's what he was doing, well I guess he isn't all too bad if he thought about helping me when he could have watch me embarrass myself "he was shaking and taking forever to speak I just wanted to sit down fast and if I let him stammer it would take forever", well the thought was nice while it last I guess.
