“We’ve been summoned to school so the other two can check on you,” I relayed to Jesse who had just finished his breakfast. He huffed but didn’t argue as he got up and followed me down the stairs to collect our stuff from by the door.

“Ready?” I quickly asked him after putting on my shoes. “Do you need to get anything from anywhere?”

“I’m good, I have everything in my bag.” He finished tying his shoes as he talked. Grabbing our bags, we headed out. The drive to school was much less awkward than it had been the night before when I had picked him up, a tender white flag having been raised to halt whatever stand-off we’d been in before this morning. When we arrived, the parking lot was mostly full, Reid’s dirty Jeep parked in his usual spot. I parked as close as I could to the mud covered vehicle and got out. Neither of us spoke, but Jesse wasn’t radiating irritation or loathing at me, opting to actually walk next to me instead of just near me.

“Oh, thank god,” Reid huffed quietly when we got to the table, his eyes darting around Jesse’s face. “You all right?” Jesse didn’t speak as he nodded an assent, his shoulders tensing under Reid and Kingston’s inspections.

“We’ll stop by the store later and get you a new phone,” Kingston offered. Jesse didn’t look happy at that, but he didn’t argue which surprised me.

Guess I didn’t know Jesse very much at all.

Standing slightly behind Jesse’s shoulder, I stared at Reid and Kingston. When they finally looked back at me, I raised a brow in question, my eyes darting to Jesse quickly before returning to them. They shook their heads ever so slightly signifying they wouldn’t answer my questions. My lips thinned, but I didn’t argue as the bell rang.

It didn’t escape my notice that they both grimaced.

This wasn’t over, and next time it happened I wouldn’t let it go.

Jesse walked by me as we headed to homeroom, both of us quiet as we were lost in thoughts. I felt the day already wearing on me, and it was only homeroom.

It’s going to be a long day.
