Mr. Vincent wrote a bunch of characters on the board. "Alright. Buddy up and read The Crucible until act 2. You got until the end of class to finish and answer the study guide questions."
Jackson pursed his lips and flipped through his copy of the play. It was about the Salem witch trials, right? And how everyone was retarded and thought that if somebody said someone else was a witch, that automatically made it true. He chuckled. "What a fucked up system..." He stretched and leaned back until his torso was upside down, his head resting on the desk of the one behind him.
"Am I right?"

Alex just looked at the kid's head on her desk. "I guess you could say that..." She whispered and gave him a small smile. She looked around and saw that everyone had a partner but the both of them.

He nodded, noticing too that everyone had a partner. Picking his head up off the desk, he spun around in his chair so he was straddling it and rested his arms on the back of it. "Guess we're readin' together, huh buddy?" Jackson grinned and waved the book carelessly in the air until it hit him in the head. "Ow."

Jackson smiled and flipped to the first page of the play. He cleared his throat and started. "'Ay, yo Lizzie. You need to be gettin out here, pickin some o' dees crops. I ain't gonna tell you again, girl."

"Um..." Alex cleared her throat lightly. "Um, that's not what it says..." She whispered not looking up that the kid. She was kinda afraid of him to be completely honest.

He flicked his eyes up to her to see her...not looking at him. Jackson smirked and pointed to a random line in the book. "Well no. It's all in between the lines, right? Cuz like...Proctor's a nervous wreck right now. He's scared that Elizabeth knows about his dealings with that lying little slut Abby, so his G side comes out." Jackson nodded like it was true.

Alex turned her head at the book. "That's half right. I mean of course Proctor is freaking out but i'm not sure his so called 'G-side' comes out. He just doesn't want Elizabeth to find out about Abby..." She smiled to herself.

Jackson scratched the back of his neck. "Mmmm....But Abby's a very vengeful girl, right? Who's to say she won't kill them all? I mean she wouldn't leave Proctor alone even when he gave her that very firm talk. Then whoopsie. Everyone knows Proctor got it in with the devil child..."

"Yes, but then after all was said and done he regreted it.." Alex sighed. "Of course i'm not siding with him but... i mean..." She sighed again. "Abby was just trying to get into everyones head. She was a sneeky little...." Alex then stoped herself. What was she doing.

He laughed and clapped his hands once, then did a little dance in his seat. "Ding ding ding!!! I think we found the real meaning behind this play. Abby's a slut, Liz is a doormat, and Hale's the only one who wasn't a complete retard. Oh god bless Salem."

Alex smiled and when she was about to say something the teacher pulled them back into a group. She bit her lip lightly, lifted her hood onto her head, and looked away from Jackson.

Mr. Vincent grinned and sat on the edge of his desk. "So! What did we learn from act one?" The room was silent until Jackson shrugged. "Everyone's a liar except Lizzy and Rev. Hale? Oh and uh, Abby's a manipulative, slutty bitch." Mr. Vincent blinked and everyone gave Jackson look before laughing. Jackson chuckled as Mr. Vincent turned to Alex. "And did your partner come to a different conclusion?"

Mr. Vincent nodded and once everyone else put their input in, he instructed them to finish the play and be prepared to act it out on Monday. Jackson turned to Alex with a small eye roll. "Draaaaaaaaaaaag. But looks like we'll have to get together soon, huh buddy?"

Alex's smiled dropped. "Uh, um... Yes, right. To finish the play.." She looked at Jackson and stood. "Meet me in the park at five. We will finish it then." She smiled quickly and ran for the door.
This was quite awakard for Alex, seeing she was very very shy. Once she got out of the room she took a deep breath.

Jackson chuckled at how fast Alex booked out of the room. Maybe...he scared her off? But howcome? He didn't think he was a scary person. Maybe it was the popularity, Jackson thought for the first time. Maybe he was intimidating. Then he laughed. He had to be the most carefree, un-intimidating person in Hallowtown. While he gathered his books, something occurred to him and he dashed out of the room, hoping to run into Alex. When he saw her outside, he breathed a sigh and nodded to her.
"Hey. Glad you didn't wander too far off." He pulled his cell out of his pocket and waved it in the air. "I'll need your number, right?"

Jackson stared at her for a split second before giving her a grin and texting something. Hey Alex. Honestly, I never thought we'd be getting together anytime soon to go over lines from The Crucible. I actually never thought we'd be getting together soon at all. But heeeeeeeeeeey. This'll be fun, right?
Once he sent it, he started walking off. "See ya in the park, Lizzie."

As Alex read the text she didn't know if she wanted to smile, or frown. "Never thought we would get together soon at all?" She shighed and walked back home.
AT 4:55.
Alex was walking to one of the park benches. She was in a red tank top and grey short shorts. She wasnt trying to impress Jackson, so she wore what she was going to wear to bed.

Jackson came into the park wearing a dark blue A&F hoodie and some jeans. He didn't really notice Alex first. His ears caught the sound of a whimper. He frowned, looking to find the source of the sound and noticed 2 guys messing with a dog. They were throwing branches and other stuff at it, basically being douches. Jackson frowned, going over to the guys and pushing them out of the way. "Yo, chill with that", he snapped, bending to make sure the dog was ok.
One of the guys snickered and nodded. "Look at the little pussy come to save his poochie."
Jackson frowned at them and stood in front of the dog. "You wanna take your mama and daddy issues out on something, try one of the trees." One of the guys advanced on Jackson. "Shut the fuck up. You're askin' for it, dilweed."

Alex looked around for Jackson when she saw the two guys messing with this dude. She wanted to walk up to them and say something. She then saw the dog behind the dude, she ran up to it. She smiled and just started to play with it. When Alex nitoced that the two guys were beating on this poor puppy she looked up at them. "Dickheads.." She whispered.

One of the guys, the taller of the two, glared at Alex. "This your dog? Maybe you shouldn't leave it all alone in the park. Somethin' bad might just happen to it." He looked Alex up and down and smirked. "Of course, somethin' bad might just happen to you too but you might like it, huh?" Jackson sighed. All he wanted to do was come to the park so he could practice his lines with cute little Alex but it seemed he'd have to put in more effort than intended.
Jackson bent down, picked up the puppy, then handed it to Alex with a smile. "Hold him for a second?....Oh, hi Alex!" he greeted, realizing it was her for the first time.
He turned to the guys and paused. He'd never really...had to beat someone up before. How was he supposed to do it? Just pop them in the face? Or maybe kick them in the balls? But didn't the girls do that? He didn't wanna seem gay...Before he could decide on what to do, one of the guys punched him in the face and he fell to the ground in a heap. "Ooooow~" he moaned.

Alex just looked at the dude who hit Jackson. She gave him a sarcastic laugh and punched him in the gut, then kneed him in the face. As he fell to the ground, Alex looked up at the other one. "You want to be where he is? No..? Then i guess you should get a move on, huh?" Alex smiled at the dude and he ran fro the hills, leaving his friend on the ground.

The other guy looked up in fear of Alex and ran after his friend, tripping. "WAIT UP, MAN!!!!" he screeched. Jackson, who had gotten back on his feet, stared at Alex in shock. "Holy hell, girl!" he said. "I didn't know ya had it in you...right?" he asked the dog, petting it and messing with its ears. He chuckled when it licked his hand.
