[Another Trouble]

**Next morning**

“Hey, bro, woken up already?” Jake asked as he came in. Jayson sat up gently.

“Ain’t you suppose to be in class?” Jayson asked.

“You worry a lot when it comes to class or school.” Jake said and rolled his eyes.

“Besides we are having a period free this morning until noon then we work like a workaholic.” He said and smiled while Jayson chuckled quietly.

“What of the coach?” Jayson asked. “Hey, it is not even up to a day that you broke your arm and you are busy bombarding me with queries.” Jake said.

“Just wanted to know in case there is anything I need to know.” Jayson said and looked at his broken arm that was wrapped with a band aid. He sighed.

“Was.. my dad contacted?” Jayson said as he swallowed lightly.

“Nope.” Jake replied. “Thank goodness.” Jayson said and rested back.

“Hey, love.” Jace said in a lady-like voice as he entered. Jake and Jayson both looked up to see the person that was calling him love.

“How is your arm?” He said and came closer, Jayson pushed his hands away from him with right hands.

“I am not a gay.” He said. “I never said you were one.” Jace replied.

“How is your arm?” Jasper asked.

“Getting better, not that broken tho.” Jayson shrugged.

No sooner did the nurse come in to remove the band aid.

“Take these med and use this ointment every morning and night before you sleep to rub it. You ask any if your friends to do it for it.” She said.

“Thanks.” He said.

“I can leave, right?” He asked.

“Yes, but you have to sign some details.” She said.

**

“You know I see no reason with all this signing in and out of hospital in this school. Not like it is some hospital, it is a school hospital.” Jeremy said.

“But they don’t get patients like the hospitals.” Jasper said.

“But they get their pay.” Jeremy scoffed.

“Can we walk a little faster because of the person with broken arm?” Jace said and smirked. Jayson turned to him and rolled his eyes.

“Whether you walk faster or slower, you will still get somewhere.” Jayson said and continued walking.

**

“And I pray for you Jayson, hope you get well soon in Jesus' name.” Ellie said joining her hands together with her eyes closed. Elsa started laughing.

“So you can pray now?” Elsa asked amidst laughing.

“And what is wrong with that?” Ellie said and furrowed her eyebrows.

“I mean you don’t usually pray for yourself and now, you just prayed for your so called crush.” Elsa said.

“Selfless, that is what they call it. What is wrong with praying for another person?” Ellie wondered.

“Nothing.” Elsa said. “I have a rehearsal class today, I have to go as early as possible.” She said standing up.

“Singer.” Ellie teased.

“Thanks.” Elsa said and exited the room.

“I also have a class this noon, need to be quick.” Ellie said to herself while she was applying her lip gloss.

“Super kissable lips.” She said as she stared at herself and smiled satisfactorily with her make up.

“Bye.” She waved at herself in the mirror.

Crazy!

She hopped out of the room.

“Good day, class.” The teacher said coming in.

“Good day sir.” The students all replied.

He looked around the seats and saw some seats empty.

“And where are the students that sits on this chairs?” He asked.

“We are here.” Jake said coming in along with the rest.

“And if I may ask did the four of you break your arm too?” He asked. They all shook their head negatively.

“We helped him to the class.” Jeremy said and they went to sit.

Another surprising thing for Ellie was that Jayson had gone back to sitting beside Elsa.

“What is wrong with him?” She thought.

The class went on and on with several explanations. The entire class was so focused and quiet that if a pin drops, its sound could be heard. After a while, the teacher rounded up the topic and exited the class.

Shawna looked around and saw Elsa and Jayson seated together.

“What is the relationship between these two?” She thought. “First, he moved away from her and went to sit with the sister and now he is back to sitting with her?”

“What is happening exactly?” I think I need to apologize now and today.” She thought and sighed.

“Boy, let's move.” Jasper said to Jayson.

“Okay.” Jayson said and packed his books.

“What is with her? She came to visit me in the school hospital yet she did not ask how I was doing.” Jayson thought as he took quick glances at Elsa.

“Man, move.” Jake said. “Oh, okay.” Jayson said and left the class.

Shawna watched as Jayson left the class, she stood and ran after them.

“Hey, Jayson.” She called out as soon as they sat under the shade. Jayson looked around for who had called him only to see the person he was so much angry with.

“What do you want?” He asked angrily. Not that he was angry with her but he was angry with himself because of the disturbing thoughts that circulating around in his head.

“I.. I just wanted to apologize for my mistake, I know I should not have done that but I now realize my mistake. I am sorry.” She said.

“You should not be apologizing to me, you know who you should apologize to, right?” He asked.

“Huh? Who?” She asked.

“Elsa.” He said.

What?!

**

“You know I have told you several times to stop jamming your locker door like that.” Ellie said as she and Elsa walked down the corridors to her own locker.

“We will see how you close your locker.” Elsa said and scoffed.

“At least I won't slam it shut like you.” Ellie said and snorted.

“Hey, peeps.” Aria said and waved at them.

“Hi.” Ellie said but Elsa did not reply her. Aria did not mind at all because the one she wanted as a friend is Ellie.

Ellie opened her locker and kept her things. Just as she was about to remove her hands, her left hand hit a book and the book fell.

“Oh.” Ellie said. “Clumsy.” Elsa said and bent down to pick the book. As she picked it, a sheet of paper fell from the book.

Elsa picked it and stared at it for some while taking in the words that were written there and trying to control the anger that has just been ignited in her.

“What is wrong?” Ellie asked as she noticed Elsa was shaking with anger.

“Shawna!!”
